    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    With as surly as Frank tends to be about the Muppets, I can't see him going anywhere near this, let alone even endorsing it. I, on the other hand, think is the most exciting news I've heard in a long time. I'd like to maybe see Jon Landau do it But the truth is, although 30 million is a fairly...

    Observation about Frank

    After seeing and reading many interviews with Frank Oz, I've come to the conclusion that he doesn't seem like a very friendly guy. He seems very detached from the muppets, which for some reasons I can understand-and thats not the reason why I'm saying this-he just seems very negative...

    New Muppet merch?

    Good news: I was in our local mall Disney Store last weekend, and was pleasantly surprised by what I found: Lying among a large display of Disney character pillows were pillows featuring Kermit and Miss Piggy! It looked almost out of place among Nemo, Buzz and Woody, etc. but it was great to...

    The Muppets do RENT!

    I'm currently in The full Monty, and me and one of the other guys were joking about how funny a Muppets Full Monty would be. We were shocked, after talking about it, how well it would actually work.

    "If I ran the Muppets" thread. Post YOUR good ideas HERE!

    Check out my idea for a new Muppet feature posted above. They should avoid TV movies (which I also explain why above) though theatrical shorts are a great idea. I think they should also avoid a new TV show-Muppets Tonight didn't fare well, so that may not be the most effective way to...

    "If I ran the Muppets" thread. Post YOUR good ideas HERE!

    I had been thinking about this sort of topic recently! Glad to see there is a thread for it..... .....Okay, since Disney has control of the Muppets, it is probably best and most realistic to think from that perspective..... The key to pushing any product is marketing and overall exposure. The...

    Gene Kelly Hated Kermit?

    Even in his episode of TMS, the premise is all about him refusing to go on, and there's this weird tension between him and Kermit as Kermit tries convincing him to appear on the show.....anyone ever pick up on that? I realize the show was written that way but it sort of makes the episode awkward.

    DVD of Muppets Go To WDW: Speculation?

    That's exactly why it won't be released-as far as WDW goes its an obsolete special-Animal Kingdon wasn't around yet, and the parks have changed dramatically. This is more fodder for "Vault Disney" which as far as I know, is no longer on Disney Channel......remember that? When they would play the...

    I met Bob!

    Oh yeah, he sang. He did "Nora Blue" and did a little percussion/rhythm demonstration with some kids from the audience. His show was about half an hour. AND he closed the show with "Sing....sing a song!"

    I met Bob!

    Today, my friend Jimmy and I went to the museum where Bob McGrath from Sesame Street was doing a music appreciation peformance for preschoolers to interest them in music. You needed kids to get in, which we didn't have, but a lady we knew was there for the local PBS station, and said we could...

    Pepe on Late Late Show

    Did anyone else catch Pepe :rolleyes: on Craig Ferguson's show last nite? He was the MAIN guest! It was pretty funny, though sort of random-Pepe wasn't on to plug anything. but the appearance was great. He showed pictures of his baby, which was HUMAN (his mother's side!) but had antennae and a...

    Sam's funniest moments.

    I love in Muppets from Space when the busty girl is dancing and Sam is eye level with her chest.....his eyes turn to her and his expression is classic! I can't remember if this shot actually made the final cut of the movie, but I know its in the trailer.

    Scary Classic Muppet Sketches

    "whistle a happy tune" with Julie Andrews is the scariest TMS number I know of.... When i was younger, I would get close to the TV screen to prove to myself that I wasn't scared when the line of monsters (Sweetums, Thog, etc.) came dancing out. I thought it was creepy when i was 3 or 4
