I'd prefer re-runs of that show. Wouldn't make sense for them to create new Daria episodes, even if it's the college ones.

What's up with Big Bird's neck?

I thought 3-D was more expensive though, right?

As far as the Who Framed Roger Rabbit sequel, I'm rather hesitant about it, not only because it's a sequel but the possibility of it being 3-D (or partly). I know it's easier to do 3-D because 2-D animation is rather more arduous to do. Still...

‘Sesame Street’ Celebrates 40 Years: Wake-Up Video MTV Newsroom
'Sesame Street' Celebrates 40 Years: Wake-Up Video
40 years ago, a show premiered on PBS that essentially gave birth to the concept of television for children. "Sesame Street" sought to cram a handful of lessons about numbers, words, sharing and tolerance by depicting a slightly fantasized life for a group of kids living in an inner-city setting. Using humor, animation and music, "Sesame Street" proved that television could be used as an educational tool and still hold the attention of hyperactive kids. (It could easily be argued that no show has ever done it better.)
"Sesame Street" also provided the leg up that Jim Henson needed that turned the Muppets into household names. Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch and a cast of dozens more not only became well-known to children but also entered into the greater pop culture lexicon. The remarkable thing about the Muppets remains their total integration into the normal human world (like Cookie Monster appearing as a guest on "The Martha Stewart Show" or Lady Gaga bringing Kermit the Frog as her date to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards).
The show has also become a conduit for other branches of pop culture. (They say you haven't really made it as a star until you're a guest voice on "The Simpsons," but the "Sesame Street" cameo is also worth a fortune in cultural caché.) Plenty of musical acts have appeared next to Big Bird, some of whom seemed to come from way outside of the box: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Backstreet Boys, Beyoncé, R.E.M., Gene Simmons, Ice-T and the late Michael Jackson have all appeared on the show in some form or another. The best musical cameo of the past few seasons was when Feist appeared to sing a slightly tweaked version of her hit "1234" (sample lyric: "One, two, three, four/ Penguins who were by the door"). Really, it's remarkable that the original song wasn't written expressly for the show.
Yahoo to 40 years of Sesame Street and many, many more! :yay:

I watched so many Tom and Jerry's when I was a kid. I never smoked. BTW, I always thought Shaggy and Scooby overate for other reasons if you know what I mean. I mean isn't that what everyone thinks? I'm surprised it hasn't been pulled or edited for those reasons.

For those who are interested in controversial cartoons, specifically the Censored Eleven and who rely on YouTube to check them out, you might want to read this:

I switched to MTV during channel flipping yesterday. What I saw was a marathon of 16 & Pregnant. Even beyond that, I never really was a fan since they stopped playing videos. Or took out MTV Fear (the last, what I thought was, decent show).

This is really just a news thread where we occasionally throw in article. Sadly, lately, it's either of DVD Releases, season renewals, or obituaries. I might consider opening a Questions thread one of these days depending on how effective it would be.
But to answer your question:
I'm not really familiar with the Strawberry Shortcake series (heard of it, never watched it) but assuming you're talking about the 80s version, of all the specials that have been aired, only The World of Strawberry Shortcake and Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City have ever been released. It's not known when the other specials are going to come out on DVD.

Quite understandable though. :lmao:

Same. But I do wonder about the music copyrights.
Though it's my fault for not finding out about this sooner. :blush: I just recently got back in to watching Daria on YouTube. :blush:

The Cartoon Porn Shop Janitor — Carol Burnett vs. Family Guy
By Destiny
June 11th, 2007
A porn shop in a cartoon just triggered a lawsuit.
In the Family Guy episode “Peterotica,” Peter and his friends go to the local adult bookstore. What happens next was apparently determined by the following sequence of events.
1. Family Guy asks Carol Burnett if they can use the theme to her 1970s variety show.
2. Carol Burnett says no.
3. They draw her into the cartoon as the adult bookstore’s cleaning woman.
And then comes #4 — Carol Burnett sues them.
The Fox Network has expressed surprise, since she appears in the cartoon for only four seconds, but Burnett’s lawsuit reportedly claimed violations of copyright and trademark law, plus a misappropriation of her name and likeness. This weekend a judge revealed what happens in step 5: Carol Burnett loses that lawsuit. According to news reports, a judge signed a ruling Friday that while the the Family Guy episode may offend her — the First Amendment allows parodies. (After all, her original variety show was famous for its own parodies.)
Carol Burnett is a pioneer in celebrity lawsuits. In 1981 she surprised legal observers with a successful lawsuit against the National Enquirer over a report that implied she’d been drunk in a restaurant with Henry Kissinger. (“In a Washington restaurant, a boisterous Carol Burnett had a loud argument… But Carol really raised eyebrows when she accidentally knocked a glass of wine over one diner and started giggling instead of apologizing…”) She may have been vindicated over that slight to her public image, but as a public figure she’s also fair game for ridicule. And thanks to Family Guy, an animated likeness of the 74-year-old comedienne can be glimpsed in some very unsavory company.
Like most Family Guy episodes, this one was a series of loosely-connected jokes, but this time they were tied together by the theme of adult books. Peter’s disappointment at the adult bookstore’s offerings drives him to write his own porn novels. (Including Angela’s Asses, Shaved New World, and Harry Potter and the Half Black Chick.)
Ironically, in this episode of the cartoon, it’s the Family Guy himself who is eventually sued — though for different reasons. Peter’s own erotic novels are so steamy that they prompt one driver to remove his shirt while driving. (He’d been listening to the book on tape version of Peter’s adult book, The Hot Chick Who Was Italian. Or Maybe Some Kind of Spanish.) This scene may include another dig at Carol Burnett, since the tape version of that book is being read by a regular guest on the Carol Burnett Show — Betty White.
His career ends after the disgruntled motorist’s lawsuit — and he also gets a surprise visit from… Betty White.
Perhaps foreshadowing the legal showdowns to come, she tells him, “I just got a subpoena for an erotic novel, and I’m looking for the son of a bitch responsible.”
