    Save the Fozzie Replica

    I would love a Fozzie, but $600 is my limit. We have a mortgage, student loans, and a car payment that makes the "money is not object" option a non-option. Unless someone would like to donate some money to my husband and I........

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    You're right - I am sensitive. I'm a teacher, and I am tired of seeing first hand what our society is doing to children - our "future". I am offended that students associate the word "shot" with a bar instead of a doctor (true story - happened last week with a third grader). I am offended by...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    I was incredibly dissapointed. My husband and I taped it because we were out for the evening, and we were really excited to watch it when we got home. We made it through 15 minutes of the film before we were just too offended to go on. After we've had some time away from it, we will try and...

    What are your stories?

    Me, too. Except that it may not have been exactly 1996 when I found the internet. I can't remember the year for sure anymore. But "Muppets" and "Dark Crystal" were two of my first searches. I don't actually have internet at home because my computer has retired and is now a very expensive...

    Who plays what

    I play flute, but my husband is a music teacher and can play about EVERYTHING! Even accordian. My brother plays drums, which has made him a much bigger fan of the Muppets. Or at least, a bigger fan of Animal. :halo:

    Do you like Disney owning the Muppets?

    I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, but here is what I fear is in store for the Muppets. Disney has a nasty habbit of releasing its movies on DVD for a while and then pulling them off the shelves for what seems like a decade. So we're all saying, "Hooray for Muppet DVD's! Hooray for...

    Palisades Speculation for 2005

    What I want: (and spelling is not my strong suit, especially with names, sorry) * Nigel * the Trombone player from the orchestra pit (for a larger band) * Lewis Kazagger * Bobby Benson and the Baby Band * Manamana and Snowths (mini ones are nice, but aren't to scale with bigger figures)...

    Accessory pack ideas

    Ahh, the Young Ones. That was a great show. My favorite was, I think, called Boring where Dexy's Midnight Runners performed in one of the upstairs bedrooms. ANYWAY, what I want is penguins. :zany: And also the fruits, vegitables, chickens, rats, and so forth. Ooo, generic pigs and monsters...

    Muppet Show DVD's on clearance until June 30

    Reply: To buy or not to buy As a former poor college student (now a poor college graduate), I would highly recommend buying these, especially if you are a big Muppet fan. I spent a month's paycheck on them a couple years ago and never regretted it! The quality is great and each disk has a...

    Still longing for Annie Sue

    I think that is very naive to say. To a non-muppet fan (and I have heard this from many), Robin looks like a minature Kermit. A frog is a frog, especially a naked one. Piggy and Annie Sue at least have some distinctively different facial features as well as their wardrobes. Also, it isn't fair...

    Still longing for Annie Sue

    I, too, would like to see her made. It isn't too much different than having a Kermit and a Robin, they would just need to make a noticable size difference. Hey, this is even more obscure. What about Lydia the tatooed Pig?

    Movies you really don't want to see?

    *American Pie series *8 Mile (I really hate -no, despise- rap, sorry if that offends anyone) *Anything starring Vin Diesel *Any Dr. Seuss remakes (Cat in the Hat included) *Live action Scooby Doo *Most Disney movie remakes -- Parent Trap, Freaky Friday, Flubber, and That Darn Cat were...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets on the Nick & Jessica Variety Hour

    From my collection at home. I don't remember where I got it. A random search for Muppet pictures, probably.

    Will TimeLife release volumes 16-20 of "The Best of The Muppet Show"?

    I'm sorry. My boyfriend bought me three videos as a gift. Then when it came out on DVD, he was the one who encouraged me to buy them all, as long as I had enough money to pay bills. That must be rough. Has she seen the show? Does she know how wonderful it is? Perhaps Harry Belafonte will...

    A new "Muppet Show"

    Deffinately. I couldn't believe my great luck when I found reruns on the Hallmark Channel, back when it was Odysey. And I couldn't believe my HORRIBLE luck when Hallmark pulled the plug on it! Do they still show Fraggle Rock reruns? That was a great show, too. Help us spirit of Jim Henson...

    A new "Muppet Show"

    Remember, though, that could have been said of Alice Cooper's appearance. And that was an AWESOME show! (I love those ghost muppets in the "Welcome to My Nightmare" number!) :crazy:

    Your Thoughts: The Street We Live On

    I agree. When I first read Sesame Street Unpaved, I truly realized just how many high-quality skits I had not seen in a very long time. Forgetful Jones. The blue guy at the restaurant. The king of eight. Pinball. Teeny Little Super Guy. Those were the days. Oddly enough, though, my brother...

    Your Thoughts: The Street We Live On

    I can't stand him either. He was okay in the begining, when he was a less, um, Napoleon-like character (taking over Sesame Street and all). But the more I see him now, the more I can't stand that fur ball. Sorry to those who do like him. Like I said, I was okay with Elmo once. I can see he...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets on the Nick & Jessica Variety Hour

    Okay, nevermind, I just found an article about Frank Oz. I hadn't realized that had happened, although I knew from my cousin's internship on Sesame Street that he didn't do much anymore there. Well, I guess if we are to have Muppets at all, we have to put up with the cast changes. Although...
