Those Jim, Frank, and Jerry Muppets (or "The Country Trio") aren't owned by SW and it's very doubtful they'd shell out money or work out some arrangement just for a hidden gem. Best they could do is make Anything Muppets in their likeness (in fact they did do that with Jerry in the Families...

Well, you see it wasn't the "Elmo" or the artistry that made it so high - it was the oil. We all know how out of control the price of oil has become!

We actually had a little bit of a "two-fer" today. In addition to Bip, we also got an appearance from the Frank Biondo Muppet. Others may not count that since it's also popped up in recent seasons but i would since Frank has been an important part of the behind the scenes crew since the first...

Yikes! Brendan Fraser is NOT again gracefully! How cool to see Bip - i guess his "Mahna Mahna" was a confirmation that he is basically the SST version of the character (since Bip had never actually said it before)

Whether it's Frank or Eric, they have to sometime go with what they're given via the writing. Frank HATED the Mr. Bimbo stuff when he first heard about it but then warmed up to it and loved it (it helped that in this case Fozzie was playing another character). And while i think Eric has for...

Really! I have NEVER seen characters behaving normal on a shirt. They just pose with a smile. If they were acting normally on a shirt, they should be panicking and waving their arms and shouting "NO - NOT THE IRON!"

No one's forgotten. But Steve has been kermit for 19 years (which is why there was all the fuss when he suddenly unknowingly disappeared). He's had two decades to settle into the character where more of the recasts are much more recent. So usually there isn't much to comment about other than...

It's just such an odd history. Sure a lot of stuff got cut for dvd/video releases because of music issues but even if none of that had happened, there was the whole case of when airing of MFC switched to a different network in 1989. Henson Co put together a different edit of the special...

I'm also very much a fan of the late 80's era. The Muppets took a backseat to the Babies and other Henson projects like FR and DC and MTM just didn't have as much a spark that TMM & GMC had. But then once they did Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years (1986), every time they did break out the...

I wouldn't sweat it. Not only is it clear that the band's name is an homage/tribute as opposed to an attempt to confuse others or take possible profits away from Disney but you also have the advantage of using a name that could refer to something non-copyrighted (ie an actual group of chefs who...

Not quite a case of making a new puppet and not using it - kind of the opposite: they took a puppet that was probably going to be used once and never used again (the Zoe the made for Abby In Wonderland) and found a (ridiculous) excuse to get more milage out of it. It would be like if they all...

Whoa - calm down everyone. It won't take that long! We already know via D23 that not only does TCMMEM have the greenlight and the next major Muppet project the team is working on, but also a high priority for the Disney Company as a whole (as evidenced by its being showcased at the opening...

Yes the TV and CD versions are different. The CD was recorded first and then they decided "hey this is a really cool collaboration - let's expand this into a Christmas special!" When they recorded 12 Days for the special, they put Muppets in different parts and added gags (like Fozzie...

Muppets Studio added the Whoopie/Kermit commercial to their Youtube channel the same time they added Ringing of the Bells - but that was the only place i'd seen anything.

Well so far the Disney Christmas Parade has been 100% Muppet-less despite plugs left and right for Give a Day, Get a Disney Day. But at least they've shown the Muppets in THREE commercials so far: the Give a Day ads with James Denton and Taye Diggs plus a commercial for the upcoming Extreme...

Well, what would you call a Muppet tribute album without using Muppet in the title? "A Celebration of Roy Orbison"? I can understand some level of disappointment in hearing about a new album called "Muppets Revisited" and later finding out it's a covers album (esp if you're not someone into...

It's the same concept but a different montage. It's more accurately the same montage that was in The Street We Live On (35th season premiere) just with additional clips added on the end to represent the last five years. The TV Montages on 40 Years of Sunny Days use the same concept but it...

Well, now we know why he's called "Dr. Doozer" - what with $45 t-shirts and $700 Doozers, one needs some kind of coverage to be able to pay for this stuff. Honestly, even if i had it, the only way i would shell out $700 for a Doozer would be if it came with its own Waldo to manipulate it with...

Nope, no recycled vocals. They were all by the current performers. Yes, Eric and David are both indeed that good.

From someone who's typically not that big on fan-fics, you have definately set a new standard with a bar that's going to be hard to catapault over (even with help from Gonzo and a cannon). Very well done and a true treat! So many awesome moments from big scenes and little phrases but most...
