I've always wondered why there's never been a real trailer for Muppet Caper, especially since I've seen ones for the original muppet movie and MTM. Usually, the 1999 Columbia home video ad is used as the "trailer" but glad to finally see the real one from 1981. Fitting that it resurfaces around...

Yeah, his case is a bit of a paradox. Cosby admitted his guilt in 2005 in a civil case after the prosecutor promised he would not pursue a criminal case against him. If the prosecutor had not violated his Fifth Amendment rights like that, Cosby never would've admitted to drugging women and...

Harvey Weinstein is about as Democrat as it gets. He was a huge donor for the Democrat party and Obama's daughter had an internship with him. Can't forget to mention the time he went on MSNBC to smear Bernie Sanders as a "sexist" and announce that he's voting for Hillary Clinton.

They probably just made the decision to focus more on newer characters, Frank wasn't really around for The Jim Henson Hour either. I definitely would have preferred to see more Frank characters but at least we did have a handful of Fozzie, Piggy, and Sam appearances. As for Jerry, it feels like...

Sam the Eagle in general had some of the funniest moments on The Muppet Show. One of the best is in the Steve Martin episode where he applauds Statler & Waldorf's audition because he thinks the show finally has some "good, family entertainment". And then there are these hilarious exchanges in...

I actually do have the 1984 CBS/FOX release of The Great Muppet Caper. This one also has Farmington Hills on the back. Not the original release but still a rather rare find.

Definitely, it becomes hard to listen to at times. Though I still admire that she's still performing the role 30+ years on. And honestly, even the Treehouse of Horror episodes have lost their edge over they years. I will say that the Spider-Verse paody in the latest Halloween episode was pretty...

Sorry to hear about this, I wish her a speedy recovery.

Speaking of the 2015 Muppet series, I feel like that show struck the perfect balance of having newer Muppets Tonight muppets like Bobo, Big Mean Carl, and Pepe (plus the 90s pairing of Gonzo and Rizzo) alongside classic characters and even semi-forgotten ones like Uncle Deadly.

Here's one thing you have to keep in mind, Muppets Tonight only lasted 22 episodes, less than the first season of the original Muppet Show (with one being a clip show). And while season 1 of TMS is fun and enjoyable, it's nowhere near as good as seasons 2-5. With time, MT really could have...

Wow, 25 years. Truth be told, I don't think I've actually seen every episode of the series like I have with the original Muppet Show and the 2015 ABC Series. But, from what I have seen (probably around 40%-ish) it was a very good show. Though for the record, I've really been meaning to watch...

So now the two human leads in Great Muppet Caper have both passed away, first Diana Rigg last September and now Charles Grodin. He was a great villain in GMC, very entertaining and charismatic. May he rest in peace.

What more can be said that hasn't already been said? Jim Henson will always be one of the greatest entertainers of all time. There's no telling what he would have been doing with the technology that we have today. The fact that his legacy is still alive and well 31 years later is a testament to...

I guess I'll add some more to this thread - Eric Jacobson in Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie did a better job performing Frank Oz's characters (Fozzie, Piggy, Animal) than Frank Oz did during mid-to-late 90s muppet productions (Treasure Island, Muppets Tonight, and Muppets From Space)...

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. Crazy how Dave Goelz has been around for both Kermit recasts too. He really doesn't get enough credit for all his hard work, I can't even imagine someone else voicing Gonzo. And, unfortunately, we can't see more of the Gonzo-Rizzo pairing this time around since...

So the plot is about Gonzo being challenged to spend the night at the Haunted Mansion. I'm glad this is Gonzo-centric because I'm still not really the biggest fan of Vogel's Kermit. My only worry is that this will focus too much on promoting the parks over a good story. But, either than that, it...

I'm glad Disney is actually doing something more with the muppets, this actually looks like a very neat concept.

Some people were saying that the season set DVDs had better quality and that Disney+ has the series in the wrong frame rate.

Wasn't really the biggest fan of this. Like some said earlier, I was hoping for more old-school Sesame Street content. Some of it just felt like empty virtue-signaling too. How can you mention the BLM movement while continuing to erase Northen Calloway's legacy from the show? I get he had his...

There are about a dozen muppet-related projects that never left the development phase so I'll take this with a grain of salt. But, I am very excited to watch when/if it is released. They could definitely try to get David Cross to play Frank Oz.
