I love "Calvin and Hobbes" but "Garfield" and the later decades of "Peanuts" are better than they're given credit for. I'll agree that "Garfield"'s glory days were in the Eighties, but even so.

Yeah, these crossover DTVs seem to be selling really well (they also get a lot of Cartoon Network rotation), so the studios are just going to follow the money.

Yeah, this is a lot more common in the direct-to-video game than adults who aren't parents realize. There have been no less than four animated films/franchises crossing over properties with the WWE (this site looked at the "Surf's Up" one just a few weeks back), and then there was the KISS and Scooby-Doo team-up. In…

That's a pretty good analysis. I was forced to go see it for a family outing back in the say, though most of the tickets were free via the McDonald's promotion they did as the big tie-in.

Same here, actually, I'm a huge Moore fan but there's a huge chunk of his filmography I haven't caught up with after all these years. Reading the biography "The Melancholy Clown" (published a few years before he passed away, but after his terminal illness became known to the public), Universal Pictures had really…

Wow, I do want to see some of those stinkers covered, especially if you can track down "Inchon".

I don't have Netflix, but I hope to catch up with this show legally soon. Comcast's On Demand service is now featuring a bunch of Netflix originals, so it may be just a matter of time. Sounds like they've diversified the movie selections from the SciFi Channel years, which is welcome.

On Friday I chanced upon the "Sesame Street" segment introducing Julia (the autistic Anything Muppet) to the show, and thought it was exceptionally well-done. (For the record, I am autistic.)

From my experience on Tumblr, the comparison to a penguin has been around a looooong time, so it was great to see it acknowledged.

There was a pretty great comic in "Doctor Who Magazine"'s 500th issue last year, "The Stockbridge Showdown", that had Twelve bring together most of the comic-specific companions to help him save the day. Of course Frobisher was included!

Also, mainstream audiences don't seem to have embraced Capaldi they way they did his predecessors.

Given that one of the officially given reasons the Beeb had for moving Series 10 back was not wanting to worry about promoting it on top of a bunch of live events (i.e. the Rio Olympics) in 2016, that would support the "austerity" theory.

This is his official explanation, actually; he says he was offered Series 11.

He has gone on record as saying he was asked to do Series 11, but was worried about getting stale.

My understanding was that this break was partially so Moffat could get "Sherlock"'s fourth season ready, but also because the Beeb didn't want to have to promote new "Who" on top of live sporting events like the Summer Olympics.

Could be, it's a problem for "Class" too.

I was out of the Who-loop for years and genuinely scared to sample Capaldi's first season because 1) the story arc was a gloomy one to judge from the reviews/recaps and 2) MaryAnn Johanson (FlickFilosopher.com) came down so hard on it.

Sure seems to be shaping up that way, doesn't it? On the one hand, Twelve's regeneration is coming up AND the Time Lords aside from The Master/Missy don't seem to have a hand in Series 10 either.

Also, besides the business with the vault, the Doctor's monologue suggests he made a promise to *someone* that would preclude him taking on another primary companion (Nardole being a special case), which again might figure into why he felt the need to mind wipe Bill. But at this point, who would be able to convince…

Wow, that movie's tough enough on TV, in a theater it must have been excruciating (especially the final 15 minutes of filler, when the clips are totally exhausted).
