I'm trying to find an actor whose face I remember, but nothing else. Not their name or anything they were in. I thought of his face upon seeing a picture of Richard E Grant but it's definitely not him. The best I can describe him is that he is vaguely a combination of 1980s/1990s Richard E Grant and James Spader, with brown feathered hair, American accent.

Link to James Spader's hair in Sex, Lies, and Videotape: https://prod-images.tcm.com/Master-Profile-Images/JamesSpader.181469.jpg

Please help!

Additional notes:

1. probably funny/family movie vibes
2. maybe more of a dark blonde/light brown hair
3. Martin Kratt (light haired one) smile vibes: https://reimaginepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/570x360zoboomafoo.jpg

Episode 16: To the Cretaceous Seven Seas

Setting and Age: Kansas (Niobrarra Formation), 83 million years ago (Early Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous)

Plot: The Wild Kratts travel to Late Cretaceous times when sea levels were a lot higher than they are now and North America was split into two by a great shallow inland sea known as the Western Interior Seaway and takes a dip and explore there to discover and encounter the varieties of marine life. Here, they encountered a Dolichorhynchops Aviva and the brothers befriended they named Dolly and with their Creature Power of the plesiosaur, the Kratts swim and explore with Dolly along the ancient seaway, but this is a dangerous mission as the waters were jammed packed with predators such as the fast-swimming predatory ray-finned fish Xiphactinus, the Ginsu shark Cretoxyrhina mantelli, and the apex predator of the waters, the giant, 45-foot marine reptile or mosasaur Tylosaurus.

Animals: Dolichorynchops osborni, Tylosaurus proriger, Xiphactinus audux, Cretoxyrhina mantelli, Gillicus arcuatus, Protostega gigas, Clidastes propython, Bonnerichthys gladius, Styxosaurus snowii, Protosphyraena perniciosa, Hesperornis regalis, Bananogmius ellisensis, Enchodus dirus, Tusoteuthis longa, Baculites gilberti, Geosternbergia sternbergi, and Claosaurus agilis.

Episode 17: Permian Kratts

Plot: The Kratt brothers and their team travel to Russia during the Late Permian period (3 million years before the Great Dying) to witness and discover the protomammals that dominated the region along with parieasaurs and large amphibians. The brothers used their Creature Power of Scutosaurus to graze along the group and used their scutes to protect themselves from predators such as the 11.5-foot gorgonopsian protomammal Inostrancevia with its 5.9-inch saber-toothed canines. Zach, meanwhile, is planning to capture the Inostrancevia to used them as his guard dogs and the Kratts must stop him, by using their Inostrancevia Power.

Plot: The Kratts and their crew travel to Pleistocene South America to witness and discover the gia

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

By now, it is common knowledge that Chris and Martin are working on a feature film based on Wild Kratts. This brings Wild Kratts, after 10.5 years of airing, onto the long line of television shows that are adapted into films, alongside Friendship is Magic, SpongeBob SquarePants and The Simpsons.

We have no idea when the film is coming out, what the title will be, or what the title is, all we know is that it is currently in production. So all we can do is make guesses before we get any further information.

I have 2 main predictions for the upcoming film.

1: It will be an origin story focusing on how the Wild Kratts met and the first adventure they ever had. The show is known for its strong continuity despite the episode disorderings, and it was never serialized unlike other shows. The movie taking place before the show would exercise the series' strong continuity without displacing any problems.

Now I've started many debates on whether or not Zooboomafo would make an appearance in the film, as well as whether or not the Kratt Brothers' previous works would be acknowledged into continuity. When I look back, while I'd love that idea being put into place, it would just cause some more continuity issues and take away from Wild Kratts as a whole instead of complimenting it.

2: It will be a series finale: Technically a standalone finale, but yeah: Most shows normally end with a film that, while divorced from the show, ends its story. Both The Simpsons and SpongeBob films were supposed to end their shows before the networks continued them.

It would be fitting to see Wild Kratts end off on a bang because it would show us that even shows that aren't as popular as others still get some dignity with enough love from their fans and hard work from their creators (not counting the network neglecting the show's advertisement and driving away fans).

The show doesn't even need to take the serialized route: Just give the movie its own plot-line and have the ending conclude the show regularly.

I personally believe that the movie will end the series or be an indicator that the series is reaching its final destination because the Kratt Brothers gave us more info about the upcoming season rather than the movie, which means the movie may be released/take place after Season 7.

Now onto other tidbits:

The Movie will likely be animated. I mean, Wild Kratts is 70% animated and 50% live action. The animation is what truly sold the show so to make the film 100% live acti

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

This is sort of an extension of my old post located here. I'm gonna try my best with this. Some I will make guesses. Side note: I'm doing this because I'm bored and I wanna make an "interesting" post.

Jennifer Grey,

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

I'm really tired of how people are complaining about Koki's re-casting in the S6 finale. The reason PBS Kids replaced Bambrick is because Koki was a black character voiced by a white person. That is TERRIBLE representation. Bambrick herself even stepped down because she realized this was wrong. I'm proud of the people who called PBS Kids out for this, and I'm also proud of PBS Kids for taking these criticisms to heart and going forward with the representation that people wanted this show to have. There was also an article that addressed Sabryn Rock's performance as Koki, and it also listed that Rock will be playing Koki in the next season, which will hopefully air this year - This confirms that this change is here to stay, and I think that is a good way to celebrate the 10 years of this show, by committing actual representation. While I can criticize that this decision was one that should've been made WAAAY earlier, (or better yet, not cast a white woman to play a black woman), I'd call it better late than never.

Yet SOME PEOPLE (whom I won't name) go on and on about how "BLM is ruining Wild Kratts" or how "Bambrick sounds more 'black' than Sabryn" or "R.I.P. Bambrick," or "This decision is racist to white people" (yes, people actually said that, keep in mind, most of these people are old enough to comprehend what racism is and how it works)

You do realize that PBS Kids has handled mature topics like racism, abuse, and bullying before, and therefore would need to try their hardest to represent what they are depicting. Wild Kratts, for as long as it has been on the air, has shown numerous fights among animals, villains who kidnap animals, particularly young animals from their home habitat, and hold them hostage for their own machinations, regardless if these machinations end up killing them and endanger their species' entire existence (the episode where Gourmand tries to dismember a pregnant great-white shark is the first to come to mind).

PBS Kids knows the score. They know exactly what to do, and can handle representation and accuracy in their works. So the fact that they cast a white lady to play a black lady is disappointing, but it's also disappointing that when they fix this mistake, suddenly you get angry. Like, the FUCK?!

As a person of color, who has been in the Wild Kratts fandom for as long as the show has been out, it HIGHLY offends me that people will fight against representation instead of for it, and is willing to bash the showrunners as

Christopher Walken

Nothing, he was gladiator.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
