It does seem that while Brian may not have much to do with them, they do still have people like Kirk Thatcher and Jim Lewis still actively involved in all things Muppet so they're able to keep an old-guard watch available to make sure the spirit isn't lost. And sorry, but this is the latest...

To eat or not to eat. that WOULD be the question. Maybe they followed the Chef's recipe of putting raw onions in the cake to help preserve it. (and if they did eat it, i wonder what Muppet(s) comprised the first piece

According to the latest press release, its' about the Muppets accidentally averting three kids' letters to Santa and rushing to make sure they get to Santa so the kids' Christmas doesn't get ruined...that certainly sounds more appealing to me than the Muppets' own letters to Santa. ...and...

MTV (owned by the same parent company) DID actually air Ren & Stimpy - in fact it was on MTV's airings when i first discovered it. John K eventually left due to creative differences and many attribute that as R&S's decline, and while it certainly didn't help, John K was taking it in pretty...

I'm really very optimistic about this. I think i'll enjoy the special itself despite the "singing" of the Disney kidz and that it's going to be all kinds of Muppety goodness. The new Muppets.com is really just a channel in the Disney XD network which is otherwise mostly geered towards Disney...

I doubt "hundreds" would have been an overestimation - daily hourlong show, very quick pieces...if you figure a each piece at a minute (and yes that's an overestimation) with no repeats (again in season 1 there were a few repeats within an episode), that's 60 right there for a single episode...

I would actually consider Family Guy UNDERrated - yes, it's thankfully built up success and a good following over the years but it's always fought a bad rep as a Simpsons knock-off (and in many ways the Simpsons opened the doors for it) or a rep for just being an adult-humor grossfest but the...

I think TVLand may be more Muppet friendly than you might think - the Muppets were a pretty big part of the TVLand Awards last year (or was that the year before?) I think that was a signal that TVLand itself considers the Muppet Show a great fit with its programming. Whether they could air it...

Actually that youtube clip is perhaps the closest thing i've seen as per the Piggy puppet looking closest to how she did during GMC era.

Not only is it fair but Stevie is a hippie (or was in an onscreen cameo in Muppets From Space)

I can't hear you - i've got a banana on my foot! (Talk about slippers!)

That's long been the norm - don't have to worry about schooling for the kids, the restrictions of hours they can work and other legal/union issues. From Welcome Back Kotter to Fame to any number of shows about high schoolers, adults playing teens have long been the norm...it's only relatively...

The guy who plays Hannah's older brother (around 15 or 16 on the show) is around 30 in real life! If you think there's no discipline behind the scenes, think again...it's just very closed-door and not at all publicized like the infraction would be. And of course given that these are (mostly)...

Floyd may be the spokesperson for the band, but Zoot would be the spokesperson for himself if he was almost knocked down!

I don't see anything wrong or offensive as Kermit's costume for his musical number or Piggy's attempt at aping a Jonus Sister - it works in the context of what they're doing - no different than Kermit donning Western threads to yodel with Roy Rogers or Piggy stealing Raquel Welch's costume for...
