    Muppets Now Episode 3 - Getting Testy

    I really want to like this but... I just can't. It's awful. This takes only the most superficial aspect of The Muppets and ignores everything else that makes them funny. Bunsen and Beaker throwing crap against the wall is not funny just like burning stuff isn't funny. This is not a show...

    Muppets Now Episode 2 - Fever Pitch

    I'm sorry, but no... this was not good. Muppet Labs has been reduced to a stupid YouTube channel like "The King of Random" where they do "experiments". Instead of a clever fanciful experiments or machines that go wrong, they burned stuff... The idea of Beaker being replaced by an AI is ok, but...

    Muppets Now Episode 1 - Due Date (Pilot)

    Can we not turn this thread into an anti-gay/anti-christianity debate? I really wish I could, or at least write a character bible. The Muppets need someone that understands the soul and motivations of the characters.

    You do realize that the pig in question was talking to a drag queen, right?

    Opinion: Disney should purchase "Fraggle Rock"

    I think 1990' Disney would have done wonders with Fraggle Rock. They would have made theme park rides, done a movie or two, maybe even another show. Current Disney? They would turn it into a pre-school show and stick it on Toon Disney with no theme park presence outside of a themes restaurant...

    Muppets Now Episode 1 - Due Date (Pilot)

    I think what we are all seeing are The Muppets moving away from their original selves. I do not think this is an issue with the performers, but an issue with the writing and creative direction. Whoever is writing for these characters does not understand them. Not to turn this into a character...

    Muppets Now Episode 1 - Due Date (Pilot)

    I actually liked The Muppets 2015 because they were more adult. The Muppets always drank and were sexually attracted to humans. They also were known to swear once in a while, when appropriate. The problem is that many current adult fans remember The Muppets from when they were kids and seem...

    Muppets Now Episode 1 - Due Date (Pilot)

    I think turning unrelated segments into a 30 minute episode was a bad idea. I think Muppets Now would have worked a lot better if they uploaded individual segments 4 times a week instead of a full length episode once per week. If I were to watch one of these every other day, I think I would...

    Muppets Now Episode 1 - Due Date (Pilot)

    I... really don't like it much. I couldn't stand Piggy's vlog segment. It represents everything I dislike about modern Piggy. The frame work of Scooter uploading the show is kind of pointless and just tacked on. The Chef segment was bad as well. It was like an attempt to show a real recipe...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    I got my EM band exclusive set in the mail today, just opened the brown box and man this set looks great just being in the box. I am not usually one to keep my figures in their packaging, but dang it looks good.

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    I think they are trying to push out product they already tooled so it's cheaper to make. Plus these are roughly the same price per pack with less stuff which helps. And with Muppets Now around the corner, they can have all the heavy hitters out at one time and maybe get some people that missed...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Interesting.... looks like they are just tossing out the heavy hitters with Muppets NOW Launching. Looks like these will have reduced accessories. Don't expect a balcony to come with these. Not really sure how they are even making money on these. At 64.99, starting out on sale, they are less...

    COVID-19 Coronavirus News and Updates

    30 days in jail? Actual criminals are being released from jail due to fear of covid19 spreading in the penal system, but they want to jail people for 30 days for not wearing a mask?

    Splash Mountain to be rethemed to a Princess And The Frog attraction

    Doing this in Disney World makes no sense as the thene doesn't fit. Disney Land makes sense though. They already removed like 99% of the Song of the South theming though so why not just finish the removal and keep Splash Mountain as the same ride with new theming?

    Official: “Muppets Now”, an unscripted series coming to Disney+ on July 31, 2020

    Hopefully. He was a great character. I wish he had been used more on The Muppets as a talent booker.

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Truthfully... if they could have surprised us with Lips... I'd be all over this set without a problem. At 120, plus tax, plus shipping... it was a hard choice, but I bit. FYI, I hear Big Bad Toy Store may have already sold out. Anyone who wants one will need to search for another online...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Well, worth is relative. Palisades Zoot is also less articulated and from 2004 or so. Figures at that price just don't exist anymore. Not to mention it was made in much larger numbers. In this case, the set is $120 because it contains 2 figures with all new tooling, is only produced in...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Sadly, the Messy Chef was limited to only 500 pieces, but is STILL in stock a year later on their site. They also have a lot of other figures still in stock on their site that haven't moved. That is not a great sign. However, the is good news, depending on how you look at it, is that Big Bad...
