A Muppet Freak Mupdate Many of you know that my blog discussing fandom (with an emphasis on Muppet/Henson fandom) has been put on hold due to everything in my personal life falling apart this year. Well, it still is. But during its hiatus, something weird happened. My hit count doubled...

I agree. I tuned it basically to see if there might be any kind of Muppet related promos or anything like for example some of the Give a Day commercials and there was nada. They didn't even air any commercials for LTS when they were at the Macy's Parade or during Christmas at Rockefeller...

The more low-key comic stores are your best bet. Comic stores that are actual honest-to-goodness comic stores are the best place to look. The chain bookstores get their versions later (and they're all the ones with the A covers). I was at Borders about a month ago and the most recent Muppet...

Hey, the Muppets said it themselves when they did commercials for them circa 1981: "Poloroid means fun!" If you can't trust the Muppets, well then who can you trust?

The video airing on Disney Channel is a minute, 30 seconds. Maybe that might be a special "short" version of the video but more likely, that is actually the whole thing. Singles/videos by Disney Channel stars tend to be short so that they can act as interstitials on DC and the single...

That article helps tremendously as that's just what i was looking for - someone to do a comparison of what's on the new set compared to what's been previously released with specific examples so i know what parts of the set (if any) are worth picking up. The review is wrong though; the one...

Wow - what a cool birthday present! That's a terrific triple bill and Fleetwood Mac later in the same week - NIFTY! I only saw B-52's once but what a show (that was when Julee Cruise was singing with them which was a special treat to me!)

Am answering in terms of the way Disney sees it and am in no way implying i understand or agree with it... First off VMX happened before Disney bought them (2002 vs 2004). As per LTS and Macy's Parade vs Xmas Toy and Emmet, the main difference is allowing their characters to be seen on...

WHOOPIE! I love the big lug!

I also tend to dislike the word "comeback" because of its implication that they were gone. And i can understand Muppet fans being sick of the word because we've heard it so many times before. But what's different this time is the follow-through. Time and time again we've seen attempts at...

Cosign. As maligned as they sometimes are, the "comic shop" crowd are one of the best thermometers of what's hot - if you have some kind of product (doesn't have to be a comic book, but any other kind of product that would be sold in a good comic shop like action figures etc), that can be sold...

Regarding the second halves of JHH, some of those non-Storyteller episodes are still owned by Henson, not Disney such as Lighthouse Island, Living With Dinosaurs, and Monster Maker. I actually think Disney and JHC can work together to collaborate on releasing uncut JHC's. Since the majority...

Oh no - Bobo was PERFECTLY cast in his part. Bobo singing gallileo in his typically deadpan delivery was simply inspired and filled with Muppety goodness all on its own.

Oh yeah, btw - what with all the hooplah over the great EM reunion that most of the US didn't see, i forgot to mention the great revelation i discovered watching the hour that was shown here: Barry Manilow and Rod Stewart are the same person.

Aw man, that really pigs me off that only certain stations showed the first part - and that not only did i miss seeing one of the Muppets' acts but that i missed out on LIPS! I mean, in the Muppets world seeing Lips back with the EM is huge! That's like George Michael performing with Andrew...

Since he never was fleshed out as anything but a sportscaster on the Muppet Show, it's hard to really find a place for him. The Newsman was a bit similar in that he had a specific purpose and wasn't used outside of that but there's still much more opportunity (especially as society has become...

Maybe next holiday season. We weren't going to see any Disney-owned Muppet Christmas specials out on dvd this year since that slot was going to go to Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa. I've been a little disappointed at the lack of Muppet dvds since the Disney buy - there's been the first...

Okay again putting myself in the mindframe of High Schooler d.w., if speaking like Beaker is offlimits, what about SINGING like Beaker? Perhaps a protest singing Beaker's rendition of Ode to Joy might be in order?

..but at the same time, while many of the pirates/puppets did previously exist, many of them WERE created for the film and made their debut in it.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but when did Jim Hill ever say a movie ride or commissary was coming? He did an indepth series of articles on Disney's initial plans about Disney's original Muppet purchases back in 1990 - and yes he talked about those projects - but always in the context of a...
