    Disney Drive-On with The Muppets Episode 6: Howard's End "Thoughts"

    I hope there's another season. I think the Muppets need some other kind of exposure besides another movie right now. A web series may be just what they need.

    Disney Drive-On with The Muppets Episode 5: The Legend "Thoughts"

    I have nothing but good words for this series. The nod to Jim Henson was long overdue.

    New Book: "Memoirs of a Muppets Writer" by Joseph A. Bailey

    Just finished reading this yesterday. Not only does Bailey have some fascinating stories to tell, but some really great advice for writers as well. Really happy I got this.

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Most Wanted on Blu-ray and DVD

    Just watched the Unnecessarily Extended Cut and, I have to say, it is THE way to watch the movie. So many great jokes got cut (my favorite being Kermit freaking out at the gulag prisoners, glancing at Ray Liotta and going, "Oh, you are NOT eyeballing me! Are you eyeballing me!?")

    Pre-Order "Muppets Most Wanted" Blu-ray available August 12

    So I'm super excited for the release this Tuesday, to the point where work let me stay after to put this up:

    TV Alert: The Muppets on The View Friday August 8, 2014

    Thought it was pretty great! The 50 Shades of Green line in the opening was hilarious.

    2015 Hallmark Muppet items!

    I think I need that Kermit print in my life.

    Disney Drive-On with The Muppets Episode 2: Piece of Cake "Thoughts"

    Second episode was OK. Nothing against Jennifer Tilly, but I would've preferred more Muppets.

    Disney Drive-On with The Muppets-Episode 1 "Thoughts"

    Thought it was great! I couldn't stop smiling the whole time. Great to see new Muppet content before the MMW Blu-ray is released.

    Archaia announce new plans for Henson properties

    Just got my copies of Labyrinth and Dark Crystal. They are gorgeous. I'm going to devour these things. After I read them.

    Your Thoughts: Funko Pop Muppets Series 1 Vinyl Figures

    I only have the Kermit one (look at him, he's adorable!), but I'd love to get Mahna Mahna and a Snowth. All the other ones kind of creep me out, with those empty, black eyes. Gonzo just looks possessed.

    Favorite Minor Muppet?

    Lew Zealand. What a strange character, you just gotta love him.

    Archaia announce new plans for Henson properties

    I pre-ordered their releases for Dark Crystal and the Tale of Sand box-set. I'm a little bummed, though, because I ordered Labyrinth from the bookstore where I work and already our warehouses are out of it. It has to be backordered and I'm getting impatient.

    Pre-Order "Muppets Most Wanted" Blu-ray available August 12

    Cannot wait for this. At the store I work at my managers are allowing me to throw a Muppet DVD release party and I'm so excited. August can't get here fast enough.

    Remembering Jim Henson, 24 years after May 16, 1990

    Jim Henson died a year before I was born (I'm a May baby, my birthday was last week). My parents did a good job at introducing me to Jim Henson's body of work: I grew up on Sesame Street (we even had season passes to Sesame Place), we had all the Muppet movies on VHS, and my dad would always...

    Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge Episode 7: Alien Press Conference

    Sad to see Jake go; he was a really talented dude. But I'm happy that Melissa made it to the final three. She and Robert are my favorites.

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    I bought the book on the day it was released (working at a bookstore, I get great discounts). It came out a month before I was going on a trip to California, so I told myself I'd save it for the flight. Except that didn't happen and I practically devoured the book in about a week or two. I...

    Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge Episode 6: Swamp Things

    It was a pleasant surprise to see Melissa win this week. I was pretty sad to see Russ go, but he just didn't seem like he was pulling his weight in a lot of the challenges (the "minotaur" head creature comes to mind). And as for Ben, he needs to get knocked down a peg. It's great to want to win...

    When did fans get tired of Pepe?

    I've never cared for Pepe. He was always too obnoxious and never really seemed to fit in with the rest of the Muppet crowd, and never really seemed like he wanted to. I'm really happy the new films have been using him in such small doses. After MWoO I was getting worried.
