A percentage of the music of the last 13 years has been decent, but without any clear direction. Personally, I just don't really like those talent/singing shows (American Idol, X Factor, America's Got Talent). They just don't seem authentic, at least today. As for kids thrilling "glory days of Saturday morning cartoons", there is some sense to that, but it just seems silly for 17 year olds to be approaching life with a nostalgic attitude when they're still very young. | PastGarden | Oct 07, 2013 |  |

| 4067 | Halloween Nostalgia & More! | Dreamworks has some animated TV shows that mostly air on Nickelodeon, including The Penguins of Madagasgar and Kung Fu Panda. How To Train or Dragon, oddly enough, is shown on Cartoon Network. It'd be interesting to see what a Pixar TV show would be like. The closest we ever got to that was Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, and while I think the 3D intro was done by Pixar themselves, the whole show is 2D animated and done by Disney Television Animation. | blueluigi | Oct 07, 2013 | |
| 4066 | Things you don't like about this era. | Yes, perfectly expanding what I mean. I agree with all of that, except reality shows. I do like some of them, like the ones that are focused on business and skill -- so mainly, Shark Tank, Undercover Boss, and everything Gordon Ramsay does. | shakin steak | Oct 07, 2013 | |
| 4065 | The Goldbergs | <blockquote rel="thecrow174"><b>thecrow174 wrote :</b> But how did she see it when it hasn't premiered yet? </blockquote> Actually, the Pilot was on Hulu for a week or two prior to the premiere. I also watched the Pilot before it's premiere. I like this product placement from the last episode: <img src="/images/postImages/PacMan Cereal Placement.png"> | Vaporman87 | Oct 07, 2013 | |
| 4064 | Things you don't like about this era. | I'm not repulsed by the fascination with the 80's and 90's on the internet (for obvious reasons), but it does feel like (and perhaps it's just me-probably is) that youth today are struggling to find an identity in the annals of pop culture. As for Hollywierd's need to recreate in ruinous fashion some of the great and fun movies of the past, it's nothing new... but it's just getting out of hand now. Music, from say the beginning of the 2000's to now, all sounds the same to me. There's not much in there, for me anyway, to distinguish it as anything more than just "millennial". I think, when it comes to the old days of making certain to set aside time to "be at" the tv for those Saturday Morning Specials, or any of your favorite programs for that matter, we have lost the experience of it being an "event". That is to say, when you sat down to watch those Saturday Morning Cartoons, you knew there were millions of other kids doing the exact same thing, at the exact same time. You felt like you were tuning in to an "event", which you were sharing with others. Nowadays, you can just pop in the DVD or bring it up on Netflix or Hulu, and everybody's doing everything on their own time. There is very little of that feeling of experiencing the "event" that others are experiencing along with you. This is partially what made me want to create the Theater here, so that whatever you're watching there, you are experiencing with others... like an event. With regard to reality shows, I'm done with them. They all seem so contrived and fake now. Unless it's a game show, I just can't stand to watch them. | Vaporman87 | Oct 07, 2013 | |
