I don't care about recasts because recasts have to happen. You can't bring Jerry Nelson or Richard Hunt or Jim Henson back from the grave. That's a cold, hard fact. I think jvcarroll's point is more in line with what needs to happen. The Muppets need a primary overseer, not a bunch of...

I disagree. I honestly feel like the only successful post-Henson Muppets are the ones created by Bill Barretta. Other than that, it's like someone introducing new Peanuts now that Charles Schultz is dead, or giving Mickey Mouse a son, or throwing a new Looney Toon in with the classics. It...

Darn, no New York dates.

Nah, Kerk Thatcher is an esteemed writer whose entire career has been haunted by that darned imposter, Kirk Thatcher.

I'm sure you guys saw the press release. Louise Gold is back, and she's bringing Annie Sue with her.

From what it looks like, they're just going to use a Sweetums puppet but put him in a dress. It should be good.

I know someone involved in the production who mentioned Sweetum's Mother making an appearance as well.

The biggest problem with The Muppets as they are today is that they've lost their multi-dimensionality in favor of cartoon simplicity. Dr. Tooth mentioned above, for example, that Miss Piggy's "karate chop" schtick should be used sparingly. Now, in every television appearance, she's hitting...

It's a Greek name. :P

No, we do. I don't want to hold out like a jerk, but if the source is correct (does not want to be named) - which I have good reason to believe it is - Rizzo is scheduled for a very brief appearance.

Apparently, Rizzo does not have a large role, but Walter will be very close to center stage.

Already posted, thanks though!

Ah! Good eye. A blue Kermit.

It's true. You've seen one talking frog, you've seen them all.

It sounds good to me. Anyone else think that Constantine will look nothing like Kermit, kind of like the Fozzie gag from "The Great Muppet Caper?"

Yeah, The World of Jim Henson was great, but like a lot of Jim Henson biographies currently available, they are rather evasive about who he actually was. We know he was a brilliant artist, quiet, all the rest of it, but we don't really get a human portrait, do we? (Also worth noting, Brian...

All of his research was done with the Henson Archives, Karen Falk, the Henson family, and the performers. I don't think there will be many inaccuracies, if any.

I looked it up, and went "whaaat?!"

Great event. Mr. Williams is a cool guy.
