    D23 Expo: Muppet news and happenings

    I left after my negative comment, so I'm just getting back to seeing the negative comments about my negative comment. It's not about requiring Jim back from the dead. It's about finding a better team. You don't go to teenage pulp writers for a Muppet script. Their next film needs great...

    D23 Expo: Muppet news and happenings

    I've been here quite a while, people. Willing and waiting... and just had enough. The Christmas special from last year falls into "Cheezy and without soul" category I mentioned. I don't care about having a TON of Muppet stuff. I want something of substance. I'd rather have 1 great...

    D23 Expo: Muppet news and happenings

    What's the big deal. Lots of promises, and nothing ever gets made- except for cheezy TV projects without soul, and youtube videos that are a waste of time. When was Fraggle Rock the movie promised? Power of Dark Crystal? A good Muppet movie? The Muppets didn't die with Jim- they had a...

    Congratulations, Jim Henson Company!

    Ooh... Weinstein had a legal battle with Lionsgate this year - little chance of collaboration there. Okay then. The Muppet comments were an addition. I know WD owns them, which would terrifiy me, but JHC has already used up my Muppet terror supply during the last 16 years.

    Congratulations, Jim Henson Company!

    Leaving HIT behind, and connecting with Lionsgate films is HUGE news, bigger than I realized at first. They are now working with a major power, and have their film distributor for projects like The Fraggle Movie and Power of the Dark Crystal. I have come to the point of condemning JHC and...

    Thank you. But the Red short film was included in the previous complete series set? The Fraggle holiday dvd content is listed in the announcements section.

    Pre-Order Fraggle Season 4 DVD Boxset

    I was interested in the Fraggle Rock Holiday dvd at first glance. I thought maybe it was something new. You can get Bells of Fraggle Rock within the series. The Fraggle cartoon bonuses are bugging me. I wish they'd either give all 13 as a complete series bonus or provide them all in one...

    Pre-Order Fraggle Season 4 DVD Boxset

    Interesting... Confusing. I am confused. Is HIT owned by, or do they work with, LIONSGATE? Or has JHC left HIT behind? I am confused because if Lionsgate has nothing to do with HIT, it's so strange that they skipped the first 3 seasons and only released the 4th season, and that the 4th...

    25th Anniversary Follow That Bird Edition!

    Thank goodness that the dumbing down of America is smartening up a little. Warner Bros. is releasing it WIDESCREEN? The way it was filmed? Why? Because every darned TV today is shaped that way anyway. Now just remember when you watch your old TV reruns on your widescreen TVs, you need to...

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock Complete Series Collection

    60 Dollars? One of the positive customer comments on Amazon.com states something like "Sorry, Amazon, but the complete collection, INCLUDING shipping can be found for only 60 dollars with a little internet research." Where the heck can this be found for 60 dollars?

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    You have a point about not comparing Muppets to things outside of their realm. I guess I meant that I'd rather invest my time in more worthwhile endeavors than keep waiting around for the old magic to return. When I saw that this took place in Manhattan (I used to live down the street from...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    I've Already Forgotten It I was thrilled to see Paul Williams contributing songs. But there were only a couple, and they seemed a bit unorderly and unfocused. "Delivering Christmas" had potential; it was run over by dialogue and chaos, until it turned into background singing. That usually...

    MR Animal Replica on the PT Emmy's

    Well, Josh Groban was quite impressive. He ought to do an old fashioned, pure rock album. I had him on my list of famous people who should appear with the Muppets on a new show. Maybe there is hope...

    Pre-Order The Christmas Toy DVD

    Unedited in the UK You can find a multi region dvd player for about 40 dollars these days. If you have one you can own the unedited version. Both "Muppet Family Christmas" and "Christmas Toy" were released on one disc a few years back, and they are both unedited. Unfortunately the dvd is out...
