Kids have always preferred the Muppet to humans. The whole reason why the Muppets were integrated into the street scenes was because they were bored with just the humans. Yes, they did once play a bigger part in the show than they do now, but keep in mind, they were doing over 1000 shows a...

I mean, Rocket Power definitely wasn't one of Nickelodeon's best, but I did get a kick out of the random background gags that occurred out of nowhere. Of course, I can think of a lot worse things than Rocket Power, like users who impersonate real-life people or fake announcements for reboots of...

Isn't that what Jason Siegel literally tried to do back in 2011?

The thing that really gets to me about this situation is how this is will hurt the entire Muppet fandom. Like, I know one bad apple can't define a fandom, but I worry that that might actually happen.

Yeah, I'm not a roller coaster person, so this kind of sucks there won't be a Muppet attraction that I'll be able to go on. Also, I have a feeling that this definitely was not in the works when the rumors initially spread of Muppet Vision closing. This seems like Disney's attempt to not make the...

I've been browsing the site since 2003, if that counts.
