    TV Comeback for Muppets?

    It does seem that while Brian may not have much to do with them, they do still have people like Kirk Thatcher and Jim Lewis still actively involved in all things Muppet so they're able to keep an old-guard watch available to make sure the spirit isn't lost. And sorry, but this is the latest...

    Muppet Cake

    To eat or not to eat. that WOULD be the question. Maybe they followed the Chef's recipe of putting raw onions in the cake to help preserve it. (and if they did eat it, i wonder what Muppet(s) comprised the first piece

    New Muppets Christmas Special

    According to the latest press release, its' about the Muppets accidentally averting three kids' letters to Santa and rushing to make sure they get to Santa so the kids' Christmas doesn't get ruined...that certainly sounds more appealing to me than the Muppets' own letters to Santa. ...and...

    I Love the 90s MC thread

    MTV (owned by the same parent company) DID actually air Ren & Stimpy - in fact it was on MTV's airings when i first discovered it. John K eventually left due to creative differences and many attribute that as R&S's decline, and while it certainly didn't help, John K was taking it in pretty...

    Muppets to appear in Disney Channel TV special

    I'm really very optimistic about this. I think i'll enjoy the special itself despite the "singing" of the Disney kidz and that it's going to be all kinds of Muppety goodness. The new Muppets.com is really just a channel in the Disney XD network which is otherwise mostly geered towards Disney...

    Just how many segments ARE there?

    I doubt "hundreds" would have been an overestimation - daily hourlong show, very quick pieces...if you figure a each piece at a minute (and yes that's an overestimation) with no repeats (again in season 1 there were a few repeats within an episode), that's 60 right there for a single episode...

    Family Guy voice artists

    I would actually consider Family Guy UNDERrated - yes, it's thankfully built up success and a good following over the years but it's always fought a bad rep as a Simpsons knock-off (and in many ways the Simpsons opened the doors for it) or a rep for just being an adult-humor grossfest but the...

    Petition to Bring The Muppet Show to TVLand?

    I think TVLand may be more Muppet friendly than you might think - the Muppets were a pretty big part of the TVLand Awards last year (or was that the year before?) I think that was a signal that TVLand itself considers the Muppet Show a great fit with its programming. Whether they could air it...

    Muppets to appear in Disney Channel TV special

    Actually that youtube clip is perhaps the closest thing i've seen as per the Piggy puppet looking closest to how she did during GMC era.

    True or False

    Not only is it fair but Stevie is a hippie (or was in an onscreen cameo in Muppets From Space)

    The "True Story" Thread

    I can't hear you - i've got a banana on my foot! (Talk about slippers!)

    Did anyone see that new Hannah Montanna episode?

    That's long been the norm - don't have to worry about schooling for the kids, the restrictions of hours they can work and other legal/union issues. From Welcome Back Kotter to Fame to any number of shows about high schoolers, adults playing teens have long been the norm...it's only relatively...

    Did anyone see that new Hannah Montanna episode?

    The guy who plays Hannah's older brother (around 15 or 16 on the show) is around 30 in real life! If you think there's no discipline behind the scenes, think again...it's just very closed-door and not at all publicized like the infraction would be. And of course given that these are (mostly)...

    Muppets 3D

    Floyd may be the spokesperson for the band, but Zoot would be the spokesperson for himself if he was almost knocked down!

    Muppets to appear in Disney Channel TV special

    I don't see anything wrong or offensive as Kermit's costume for his musical number or Piggy's attempt at aping a Jonus Sister - it works in the context of what they're doing - no different than Kermit donning Western threads to yodel with Roy Rogers or Piggy stealing Raquel Welch's costume for...

    Fraggle Rock Complete Series Collection coming this fall

    One thing NOT announced as a bonus feature that i would think would be a no-brainer is the remaining episodes of animated FR that HIT has not yet released...unless they're planning to release all the animated FR's together as a seperate set (hopefully with the original linking material with live...

    Ernie and Bert's Apartment

    Their ages are very much as abstract as their designs...they engage in play and activities like children (and sometimes are implied to be in school or school-aged) other attributes indicate they could be adults - live on thier own, have an apartment, could operate a vehicle, take...

    Fraggle Rock fanfic: Everything Seems To Sing

    Excellent - I've said it before, but it bears repeating - where I don't usually care for fan fiction, yours so perfectly captures the tone of an actual script I could see being taped...and I can SO hear Karen Prell's flawlessly hilarious line reading of her finishing Mokey's song!

    Little Muppet Monsters is on Youtube

    Seeing any official release of LMM is a longshot but there is one (actually plausable) scenario where i could see it happening... If Disney releases season boxsets of Muppet Babies. Being both a cartoon series and one geared towards a child audience, there probably wouldn't be the kind of...

    This is how out of touch the company is...

    Henson is aware of stuff on Youtube and as long as it's something not otherwise available tends to take a lax attitude (Karen Falk, when giving presentations will even refer people to youtube with kind of a wink or finger over lips) - but obviously this can vary from person to person since a...
