    MMW Reactions Theory

    After reading some of the lukewarm to negative reviews of Muppets Most Wanted, I have a theory about a certain portion of the Muppets' audience. I think some people don't want the Muppets to go on adventures. Not that they would probably say it that way, but some of the criticisms toward MMW --...

    When Will Muppet*Vision Be Removed

    Unfortunately, Muppet*Vision in Florida may now be in trouble. There are insider rumors that Disney is considering installing a new Star Wars themed area where the Muppet Theater and Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area currently are: http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201306/3524/ Though I love...

    Million Puppet March for PBS November 3 in Washington

    Agreed. The phrase "beating a dead horse" comes to mind. Especially since they're trying to "defend" PBS against legislation that hasn't even been formally proposed yet. This isn't about celebrating the Muppets; it's about making a political statement just before election day.

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    Well, I've been a part-time Muppet Central lurker for a long time (sheesh, I think it's been about ten years now), posting only occasionally when something important comes up. And it just wouldn't be right to not say something now. 2011 has certainly been a whirlwind year for the Muppets and I...

    Grover in Old Spice spoof on YouTube

    I'm a little shocked that no one around here has started a thread about Grover's recent viral video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkd5dJIVjgM Grover does a fantastic job in his take on the Old Spice commercials, teaching kids about the meaning of the word "on," as in "I am on a...

    Muppets Lost Promos

    Wow, two of my greatest obsessions rolled into one awesome video! And there's more to come? Heavenly.

    Muppet Madness Tournament!

    I'm really surprised nobody has started a thread about the great Muppet tournament going on at The Muppet Cast. It's already in Round 2, but you can still go over and place your vote in poll battles between the Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, and other Henson company characters. The...

    New Video: Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody!

    I don't listen to Queen that much, but that video was incredible! Totally deserves all the attention that it's getting! It was also plugged on the Entertainment Weekly site: http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/11/24/muppets-bohemian-rhapsody/ What a great way to kick off the holidays!

    Statler & Waldorf clip on Tonight Show

    Technically, this wasn't a new appearance, just a comedy sketch featuring video of the Muppets, but it was still entertaining. Last week on The Tonight Show, Conan O'Brien announced that Obama had been heckled again at a forum on health care. Then they showed a video that featured Obama trying...

    Where is Steve Whitmire Petition

    I've just been reading bits and pieces of this discussion, but I find it all really interesting considering 8-10 years ago people were still questioning and criticizing Steve's performances as Kermit. It's truly amazing how well Steve has slowly adapted to the role and how much the fandom has...

    AFI Nominations

    Out of curiosity, I was just looking through the list of 50 nominations for Top 10 Fantasy films in the American Film Institute's recent 10 Top 10 special. Both The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth were among the nominations! Neither of them won a spot in the fantasy top ten, but I think their...

    Great Henson Article in New York Times (11/12/06)

    "We didn’t set out to do risqué adult-exclusive content, what we did set out to do is to forget all the rules of the 8 p.m. sensibility, what puppets do that aren’t in preschool, and instead let’s just do what we as puppeteers think is the funniest thing we can do in the moment.” I believe...

    New Muppet Abby Cadabby heads to the Street

    Is it my imagination or has the creation of new Muppet characters become much more political and economically-driven than it used to be? It seems in earlier times, the writers and creators of Sesame Street just created whatever characters struck their fancy. I mean, I can't imagine they brought...

    Muppets/L.A. Times article

    One thing to keep in mind--not everything done by the Hensons since Jim's death has been bad. I know a lot of people who have seen very little of The Muppet Show, but love MCC and MTT. In fact, you would be surprised how many people I've met who consider MCC a special holiday tradition. So I...

    Muppets in the finale of "The Muppet Movie"

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    Overall, I liked it! It certainly wasn't on par with TMM or even MCC, but it was still a fun TV special. It kinda reminded me of a Muppet Show sketch --zany and off the wall, but not without some tender moments.

    What was the Kermit Channel?

    I saw a couple of random articles about it in the news archives. This one, for example, was from 1999. Admittedly, sometimes it's hard to decipher these archived stories. They often contain plans or rumors of plans that didn't work out, so if you missed hearing about something (like me in...

    What was the Kermit Channel?

    I was just looking at old Muppet Central articles about the Kermit Channel. I knew Odyseey had a lot of Muppet programming while it was on, but apparently I missed hearing about this. Could somebody describe the Kermit Channel's short history and explain to me why they only aired it in Asia? Thanks!
