    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    Do they even know that Christmas is meant to be a somewhat real person's birthday? Eh, maybe not since it's written as XMas for the more popular crowd nowadays. Then again, I'm not the biggest fan of religiousity. That's why I leave the religilous-type threads alone, not even wanting to touch...

    Bringing Back the Bells...

    It's very easy... 1 Wait until the date of the winter solstice, December 21. 2 If you have it handy, at 9:00/9:30 PM CST (not sure if its a regular half-hour or hour-long special), start watching the Fraggle Rock episode titled The Bells of Fraggle Rock. 3 Grab something that makes a bell-like...

    The new What Made You Smile Today thread

    My family spent the afternoon yesterday as an early birthday lunch. Great meal with the usual special favorites to go with a mess of Mom's barbecue ribs. Even my niece got in on the act helping her uncle blow out the candles on the ice cream cake. And today, while listening to MCR I got my #1...

    The New What Made You Frown Today Thread

    Agreed, especially when their cash crops are turning the animated movies into live-action counterparts. *Shrugs. And now I'm over the frown reaction the news made me feel earlier.

    The New What Made You Frown Today Thread

    Yeah, it was announced around June/July 2015. You can find it at the Disney Wiki, I'm usually checking their Upcoming Films section. :shifty:

    The New What Made You Frown Today Thread

    After six long years following its announcement waiting for updates, I find out today that the proposed live-action film version of Night on Bald Mountain has been officially cancelled. Major bummer. :grouchy:

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    Wham? People are sick of Wham's music at Christmastime? Maybe there's something I don't know about the band, but when I think Wham, I think either "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" or "Careless Whisper", not really Christmastime musical standards. And as for Mariah Carey... That's the surprise I...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    Okay, while I don't want to get dragged into the political aspect of things... Just one single point on Santa Claus. Didn't the tradition of the character start with Saint Nicholas (however it may have been originally spelled) or Sinterclaus from Dutch culture? As for who would want to eat...

    Your Thoughts: Christmas at Muppet Central

    Something I would suggest... On the "Now Playing" list, you have the song/sketch's title, followed by the characters or group responsible for singing each entry, and then I would recommend replacing the link to "Buy this album" with the source where each song/sketch comes from as that would...

    Your Thoughts: Christmas at Muppet Central

    I'm loving the customary classics and new additions to this year's musical merrython. Also, nice touch adding jingling bells to the standard Radio 1-2-3 jingle. Maybe similar nods can be added for next year's traditions like a short music vamp of Rainbow Connection for the Jim Henson/Steve...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    You know... It's things like the video D'Snowth posted above and the currently hyped Hanukkah episode of The Ghost and Molly McGee on Disney that make me wonder, has Hanukkah started even earlier than normal this year? Then again, my mind already kind of considers Hanukkah as the wintertime...

    Ah, Monday November 29 is the start of the Muppet Christmas musicthon. Sorry, it's just that because of years past I tend to think of Black Friday as (Kermit) Green & Red Friday so I thought that's when it always starts as a default date in my mind. Thanks for answering my questions Phil.

It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie (2002) will air as part of Freeform's 2021 25 Days of Christmas programming block. There'll...

    Your Thoughts: Muppet Central Radio on TorontoCast, TuneIn, Apple, Amazon and Google

    Okay, couple questions. First of all, isn't the song sung by the frogs from The Muppets at Walt Disney World titled "Knee Deep"? So where/when/how is it now named "Frog Talk"? Secondly, shouldn't the station have been switched to all manner of Muppet Christmas music as of yesterday until...
