On Kermit Was Kind of a Dick: Dissecting the Worries About the New Muppets Movie

Here's what I don't get. Whoopie cushions make fart noises. That's what they do. It's their ENTIRE purpose. How many times has Fozzie or any of the muppets mentioned Whoopie cushions? Many. So why is it when one actually gets used people freak out? Its the sound they make!

On It's Official: No One Watches TV on the TV Anymore

I argued with my college professor back in 06 that the Nielsen's were flawed and needed to be updated. I was met with laughter. This just shows that until they come up with another way to fully track who is watching who, great shows will get canceled and more X factors will arise.

On The Day Comedy Won: How 30 Rock Beat Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

I was a big Studio 60 fan, I'm also a big 30 Rock fan. In my own personal opinion, I think that most people didn't want to watch a show about comedy being "hard". They want to see a ridiculous show, where actors have all this money, don't care about the fans, etc. Studio 60, to me, was about how hard it was to be funny. Yes, I understand that many of the actual jokes used weren't, could they have benefited from actual comedy writers, maybe. I never saw Studio 60 pitched as "laugh every 10 seconds". 30 Rock was and is a great show, filled with all sorts of rapid fire dialogue. I guess it would've been like if ER had incorrect usage of medical terms. The show isn't really about doing medicine, as it is the people doing it. Now, Scrubs came along and not only showed us that but did one better. I digress… I loved Studio 60 and I'm sad it was off the air. One final point, a reason it cost 3 million an episode? Look up Amanda Peet's salary. If she had taken a smaller paycheck, it might've developed further. Anyhow, thanks for at least mentioning Studio 60? Still love the site.
