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 --...

Let's hope you're right!

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...

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.

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...

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...

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

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...

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!

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...

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...

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...

Here's an interesting article about Cory Edwards who's writing the screenplay: http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/05/28/fraggle-movie-movie-details-revealed/ Sounds promising!:excited: Robin the Brave

"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...

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...
