I think Lulu's being dropped wasn't so much due to her being a "flop" but rather because of Stephanie's unavailability once Avenue Q became a runaway hit.

"Why did Boom! change their paper?" Well, i mean, isn't it obvious? If you don't change the paper every so often, things get kind of...funky...

Okay...Scariest Possible Halloween Costume Idea for 2010... Have this same company manufacture costumes of the Manhattan Toys Fraggle plushes! ...shiver...

I'm placing my bet now. I bet there's going to be a running gag where we don't find out the identity of the seventh dwarf until the fourth installment.

Okay, as much as i love Kaye Ballard, i've always felt so embarassed for her wearing that horrible dress in the What Would You Say number. I want to reach through the screen, pat her on the back, offer her a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and say, "I am SO sorry." All i can think of when i watch...

There's been a few times where there's been more than one gem. No hard "rule"; basically there's "at least one" gem in each episode.

If you're getting them at this stage, i'd reccomend the trade paperbacks - better value, easier to find, and less individual books to hunt down. Plus you'll have bonuses in the from of cover galleries or the extra stuff in the first collection. Then maybe the actual comic books of the more...

Nice! I like how the artist uses a classic photo as its base but makes it their own and adds to it.

I, too, would have liked to see Kirk but if an outside director like this ups its "must-see" value, i'm not gonna complain. Fact is even if "outside" writers and/or directors are attached to a major Muppet project, there's still going to be at least some level of input from what would be...

Not that there HAS to be seven dwarves but the mind reels at who might take that seventh spot...Rowlf, Clifford, Scooter (the dwarf with the van), Nigel... Then the more fun out-there choices...Sam ("he's too GRUMPY to sit in with the rest of us..."), Pepe ("I'm not a DWARF, I'm a KING...

While i concede one might be more likely to like Elmo if he was a part of their childhood, i think it usually is much more than that. I've talked about this extensively in the Elmo's Popularity thread (among other places), but to recap, Elmo went from being such a terrific sweet funny...

The Synclavier that gave much of Eurythmics' "Savage" album its signature sound had previously belonged to Buffy Saint-Marie (yes, Sesame Street's Buffy). It took up most of the space of the smoking room in the old French house the album was recorded in.

Brian at least had the advantage of having worked with Jim in the early days. And quite frankly, Richard majorly exaggerated when he would give his "It took me eight years to get a speaking part" speech. He had lines in Great Santa Claus Switch. He had speaking roles pretty quickly after...

Not that it can't be done though...remember The Count's date with Susan Sarandon?

Oh no! A Flash Crash? Waaa! It looks like it's now official - Muppetnewsflash is a Twitter-only resource (which has pretty much been the case the last several months, the main site's closure just makes it official). Dang. The actual site itself will be missed. I'll check the Twitter feed...

Well, if you asked ME, your screen name makes you cool! (Hee hee) Remembering the chat room just seals the deal! (Bonus points if you remember Jerry Nelson in the chat room)

Ohmygosh - the Moonlighting memories are flooding back now (i haven't watched the show since it originally aired) - not only did they do the whole, pillows over the belly, shots-from-chest-up, have her frequently blocked behind desks, couches, and furniture bit with Cybil Shephard - but AT THE...

Heehee - memories of Moonlighting's attempts to cover Cybil Shephard's pregnancy - have her suffer major depression and film the majority of her scenes lieing down with a pillow over her belly!

Two Biggies From the World of Soaps (and other places): Baby switching. Not only does it get old, but it's all the more aggravating when writers who decide to do a baby switch storyline have to make both mothers give birth at about the same time even when they didn't conceive at the same...

It's not a question of pessimism. The purpose of threads like this are twofold: (1) getting information to the fans about a product line and (2) providing the makers of the product line free market research/fan response to their decisions. Commenting that a proposed concept is a Really. Bad...
