    Marilyn Sokol on All My Children

    Just an appendum to avoid confusion...MS was of course the voice of Emmet's ma (not Emmet) - i can be pretty bad with little typos like that after lots of double shifts with no sleep! And Desire is who i was referring to (couldn't remember the name of the actress who plays Gabi when i posted...

    Marilyn Sokol on All My Children

    Sorry i don't have any more details - but Marilyn Sokol (voice of Emmett Otter and many voiceovers for Sesame Street songs in 1970's) has been on All My Children recently. I don't watch AMC but i watch One Life to Live which comes on afterwards, so i happened to catch her name in the closing...

    Muppet First Impressions

    Muppet First Impressions (childhood memories) Okay, was watching season 1 of The Muppet Show and i had this total flashback that i hadn't thought about in ages about how when i was a kid watching this new show that had Muppets (but different ones that were on Sesame Street, even though Kermit...

    Disney greenlights "The Muppet Show" comics

    Doubtful - the Tokyopop are mangas - very full novel sized books that come out once or twice a year between editions...the Boom comics would be more standard "comic book" size.

    Your Thoughts: Studio DC Hosted by Dylan and Cole Sprouse

    Well, i followed up on my mental note to self and checked my dvd of the Pancake Hannah Montana episode to see how long it ran without commercials to see if they take out as much commercial time for a regular DC show as they did SD:AL... Hannah ran two minutes longer - 22.5 minutes I have...

    Your Thoughts: Studio DC Hosted by Dylan and Cole Sprouse

    2.3? That's pretty darn excellent for cable! That would be considered good numbers for most network daytime shows these days! For something that otherwise seemed a bit obscure (not really promoted that i'm aware of outside of DC itself and only then a week and a half beforehand) that's really...

    Farscape Season 5 is coming...

    ...Just not in the form one might initially expect! Well, i can't believe i'm actually the first person to break the news! But in turns out that in between all the excitement of Red making a live appearance at the latest Comic-Con and some more updates on Boom!'s upcoming Muppet comic book...

    Your Thoughts: Studio DC Hosted by Dylan and Cole Sprouse

    Take away the commercials and you have 20 min, 30 sec. Dang, that's short! (I mean USA version of Muppets Tonight was 22 min, and what a difference those two minutes make! Note to self: Tape some regular Disney Channel shows and see if they're also the same length when you factor in the...

    Muppets to appear in Disney Channel TV special

    Is most of the stuff on Disney Channel aimed at pre-teens? Yes. Is most stuff for pre-teens fluff pretty much devoid of serious artistic merit? Yes. Does that mean that the young stars of these shows are non-talent hacks? Not at all. As i posted earlier in this thread, the kids...

    Sesame Street Old School Question

    It wasn't neccesarily that Sesame was ever "adult entertainment" but was a kids' show that adults could watch with their kids and be entertained instead of feeling like they were spending "tv watching duty" with their kids as they digested sacherine pandering. Like Rocky and Bullwinkle and...

    Muppets to appear in Disney Channel TV special

    The clip being referenced: Miley looks at Animal's chain and remarks "Nice bling" to which Animal roars "Bling BLING" - so not only is it a gag about how Animal is the intimidating creature that he is that he has to be chained, but his line is a remark to something said to him (delivered in...

    Muppets to appear in Disney Channel TV special

    What a difference a day makes! As of 2:30 am this morning, there was nothing Studio DC or Muppet on Disney Channel at all - now sometime today it looks like a major marketing blitz has now begun with a bunch of promos...and lo and behold all of a sudden Studio DC is in Zap2it's listings (it...

    Chris Appreciation Thread

    (Slowly getting back to posting and reading the forum...my life is still completely topsy-turvy but the Muppets/Jim Henson is the one bright thing that still brings joy to my life so trying to reconnect with that) Sesame Street season 39 will be starting in less than a month but i wanted to...

    Muppets to appear in Disney Channel TV special

    ...let's go a step further, all in favor of bringing back Animal Jam, say "Aye!" (crickets chirping) ...okay perhaps that was a step too far (though i do kinda miss DJ's 1, 2, and 3) On a more serious note though, it's actually looking more and more likely that we've got another...

    Muppets to appear in Disney Channel TV special

    Sorry, but i think you're reading to much into it...i rewatched the episode to see if maybe i missed something but re-viewing it it was clear that there was no negative puppet vibes in it or anti-puppet message. The scene i believe you're referring to is in the climax where Hannah and friends...

    Muppets to appear in Disney Channel TV special

    Quite honestly, when i posted my last reply, i was also kind of expecting the special to be postponed again - that's nothing to do with optimism or pessimism - but rather deja vu - recognizing a pattern of events that have already happened and being realistic. Like i said, Muppet involvement...

    Muppets to appear in Disney Channel TV special

    Well, we supposedly have a new date...but i can't help but be more than a little disturbed that as of yet there's still been absolutely no on-air promotion for the special. I mean, this is really just ridiculous - besides commercials for the show, one would think there would be a resurgence of...

    Muppets to appear in Disney Channel TV special

    Being the realist that i am, i don't think the calls had anything to do with Disney getting the new date out - they would have done so anyway given that they would have had to do so about now (since the original airdate would have been this weekend) and also given the leadtime for tv guide type...

    Something big on the horizon...

    Okay, so while i was doing some searching around for so kind of clue or hint as to what's going on with the seeming postponement of the Studio DC: Almost Live special, i came across the following seemingly unrelated article from a Clinton, MS newspaper which contains a surprising tidbit at the...

    Muppets to appear in Disney Channel TV special

    I also plan to have my dvr set just in case but i don't expect anything. Besides not being in any current online listings, but i've been keeping my eye on Disney Channel the last few weeks just in case any promos or special Muppet commercials came up, but NOTHING has been promoted on air at...
