    Video: The Muppet Christmas Carol Blu-ray Extras

    Seamless branching would have been a simple solution. Seeing the film with the song included is the only way to go in my opinion. Disney was wrong to cut it from the theatrical version, and a 20th Anniversary edition ought to include the Director's Cut. Why anyone would be unhappy were the...

    Video: The Muppet Christmas Carol Blu-ray Extras

    Well, I've got the final word from Lana at Disney DVD, and the blu-ray version is going to be "theatrical" version only! Muppet fans, we have to band together on this one and make it a complete dud for Disney. We shouldn't buy this release, and we should all be calling 800-723-4763 and let them...

    Video: The Muppet Christmas Carol Blu-ray Extras

    Just checked the Amazon web site, and the Muppet Christmas Carol blu-ray running time is 84 minutes, four minutes shorter than my laserdisc version which included the song, "When Love Is Gone." I'm so sick right now I can't tell you. Yes I can. Did IQ's just drop sharply at Disney? Has no one...

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    Oh, this is not happy news to come to in the morning. I was just watching my Fraggle Rock DVDs again recently and admiring all the talent from Jerry (Gobo) on down. A little more of the magic is gone.

    Your Thoughts: "Being Elmo" Kevin Clash documentary on DVD and PBS

    I have watched this movie about eight or nine times, with different people, and absolutely love it! I think it struck just the right balance of Jim Henson background and Kevin Clash history, since he joined the Muppets only four years before Jim passed away. Today I became one of the backers...

    ABC News Video: Jason Segel, Muppet Savior

    I'm sorry, but I have a soft spot in my heart for The Muppet Christmas Carol (MMC). The wonderful Jerry Juhl was still around, and he struck the perfect balance between the classic literature of Charles Dickens and the wacky humor of the Muppets. Paul Williams wrote beautiful songs for the...

    "The Doozers" preschool series under development

    Oh, swell! Just what we need, another preachy liberal show constantly haranguing at kids about how humans are the biggest danger to the planet. Hogwash! Fraggle Rock only did that a couple of times; most of the shows were about having fun and how to get along with other people. The truth is...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    "I Believe In Santa Claus" song Hello, Dobie, The song, "I Believe In Santa Claus" is being played on Muppet Central Radio (click "radio" on the masthead above) from time to time, sans all the commentators' commentary. If you have Total Recorder on your computer, you can catch it that way...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    Complaint #2 - The Broadcast After confirming my suspicions regarding the cropped presentation (see previous post), I also saw that the brightness level on the NBC broadcast I watched was dialed up too high. Especially in the scenes with North Pole Airlines, Uma Thurman looked like an angel in...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    The widest problem with Letters To Santa I'm going to take this from a completely different angle. The special was a solid "B" as far as story goes, but I kept having these "framing issues" while watching the show. I KNEW IT! After watching the video here...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit on Dr. Phil

    Kermit's Intervention. Heeeeeyyyy, everybody! The Internet is a marvelous tool for catching up on stuff like this. I was out bombing around the world this afternoon, too, and missed Kermit's appearance on Dr. Phil. But I just watched it on Dr. Phil's web site. I don't know, but it looks like...

    Your Thoughts: Letters to Santa Teaser On-line

    Pleasantly surprised. It's good to see the Muppet characters again. After the disappointment that was Muppets Wizard of Oz, I think this one will be a hit for me. They all look and sound great! :) 4 out of 5 Kermits!

    The only downside to watching the last episodes of FR...

    Last night I finally finished the last episodes of Fraggle Rock, and what a delight they were. I am a magician, and I am inspired to create a show around the phrase "You cannot leave the magic." The idea is so big right now that I don't know how to carry it off, but I will work on it some...

    Pre-Order Fraggle Rock: The Complete Series DVD

    Buying a new player is not an option I already have three DVD players, not counting the one in my computer, and all of them are Region 1 only. I don't want to buy another one just to play one set of discs. Carrie

    Pre-Order Fraggle Rock: The Complete Series DVD

    Can any fan help me? I'm on the verge of making the decision to boycott the "Complete Series" DVD set, but I still want to get Season 4 of Fraggle Rock. I see some fans saying the thing to do is buy the Season 4 set from eBay, which is Region 4 (PAL), and then convert it to NTSC because I...

    Pre-Order Fraggle Rock: The Complete Series DVD

    We don't want Fraggle Rock in widescreen! You're right, Red, and we are seeing a trend of studios and networks doing precisely that. It just makes my eye twitch and I want to shake someone back to their senses. Everyone, go to http://widescreen.org/podcasts.shtml and listen to podcast...

    TMS Season 2 Box Set - 2007 Release?

    I'm willing to wait a while for a stellar DVD release of each season of The Muppet Show. I loved it that much. I don't want them to rush it. I want them to get close to perfect just like Season 1 was.
