    Tis' the Season...For Cookies & Presents!

    Me too! Thank goodness for Youtube, eh? I LOVE those old Christmas commercials! That Fruity Pebbles one..."Ho ho ho, I'm huh-huh-hungry!" (Barney Rubble) and the Kraft ones shown during the original airing of "The Christmas Toy" were also my favorites. All that cheese! YUM! There was the...

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock Complete Series Collection

    Trust me, you aren't. Just check out the reviews at Amazon. There's a lot of people out there (like me) who would love to have Season 4 and those extras...but to re-buy Seasons 1-3 all over again? Sorry, but Season 4 shouldn't cost $100. That's really what it boils down to. HIT got support...

    Vault of Puppets Lawsuit

    I'm just glad I'm not in that guy's shoes. I don't have the time or talent to make my own Muppet replica puppets...plus I'm kind of scared to make one of my own, even just for myself. I don't want Disney's lawyers swooping down on me! (If they felt like it they could go after any Joe Shmoe, no...

    ToughPigs Gone?

    If you check out Tough Pigs when it comes back up, Smig made some new drawings for the site. I like the new logo featuring the nervous Kermit and the Pigs in Space crew. That Link just cracks me up! The "Playing With Dolls" comics are indeed awesomely wonderful...I felt like it was a comic...

    ToughPigs: Steve Whitmire interview

    That was great! (Scooter fist);) It's always wonderful to hear what the Muppeteers have to say about upcoming projects, their work with Jim Henson and their interest in the fans. Steve visits here from time to time, it seems. Well, if he's reading this, hooray for you, Steve! You're one...

    It Looks Like Christmas...

    I haven't seen those yet...but I did see something else on TV the other day. I was flipping through the channels and saw one of those bumper ads for QVC. There, lo and behold, was Santa Claus. He was pitching some QVC "shows" coming up in the next day or so filled with Christmas stuff on...

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    I agree that Fozzie should have been second. We need an accurate representation of him (aside from the first Palisades figure). The Steppin Out Fozzie...yeeesh. those eyes, man. Comic Con and teddy bear companies should be notified about Fozzie. These two have huge markets and could really...

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    That's an excellent idea, Luke! A lot of teddy bear collectors might not even know about the proposed Fozzie and it would boost some sales... But which teddy bear company should be told about it? There's a lot of them out there. Convincing John

    It Looks Like Christmas...

    Precisely! I wondered if it was Jim who thought that line up or Jerry Juhl. Either way, it's a beautiful way to describe whatever winter holiday you celebrate: the importance of togetherness. Of course, sometimes it's the importance of tolerating everyone in one house at once and...

    It Looks Like Christmas...

    (Sigh)...where to begin? First up, it was just a parody. It was meant to be silly, to be a playful approach joking about the ridiculous way stores promote Christmas way too early. If this had been 1981, the tag would've gone on Miss Piggy's back. (Although the sales clerk would've been karate...

    It Looks Like Christmas...

    Exactly! I asked a Wal-Mart employee about it and they just stocked the stuff and had no say what came in. (I knew that beforehand, but I just wanted their opinion). They said (and this makes sense) that she didn't mind Christmas-related fabrics and patterns being available super early. It...

    It Looks Like Christmas...

    I visited my local Kohl's store a couple weeks ago (checking to see if any new Muppet shirts came in). When what did my wondering eyes should appear...but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer...and several other things. Yes, folks, it's that time of year again. I feel that if this trend...

    What is up with these DISTURBING commercials, lately?

    Reminds me of that line from Weird Al's "Wanna B UR Lovr": "I hope I'm not being forward...but do you mind if I chew on your butt?" LOL. The "nose bit" just doesn't work for me. A professional needs to do that or the gag just doesn't work. See? :boo:"You know what's even more disturbing...

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    Another Fozzie vote here! I'd order one right on the spot after seeing Terry's beyond magnificent prototype! A link to Terry's photos in this thread might boost votes. Kermit and Animal are already here on my shelf, but Fozzie would look awesome next to my big Yoda poster. I don't know why...

    Happy Birthday Steve Whitmire!

    :coy: "Should I be the first to post? That would be fun! Wait, maybe I should wait until someone else posts and I can agree with them. But then again, maybe I can post first and agree later...oh, I can't decide!" :shifty: "Aw, just go ahead and do it, will ya? Just wish da guy a Happy...

    Pre-Order The Christmas Toy DVD

    Oh...YUM! All that Kraft stuff looks so good! That's the old Christmas memories I'm talkin' about! (Maybe that'll be the special features on the DVD, the old Kraft commercials...I wouldn't complain).;) Kermit dressed as Santa Claus and Kraft commercials...THAT'S how I wanna see "The...

    Pre-Order The Christmas Toy DVD

    I taped that special when it first aired...oh those Kraft commercials! I always wanted that "Christmas Toy" poster they advertised...(sigh) They also had (I think) an M&M's commercial with a horse drawn sleigh (with Christmas lights!) going down a hill. As a kid, I was amazed at the concept of...

    Links... Here's 2 Youtube links to their appearances (in case anyone else missed it). Don't know which one aired tonight, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSAsJ3U2GSg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLFmFX34nYc Convincing John
