By which I mean characters that can literally make or break your ability to enjoy the show they're on. I have quite a few: -Mr. Carlin (Bob Newhart Show) -Wojo (Barney Miller) -Niles (Frasier) -Suzanne/Etienne (Designing Women) -Briscoe/Helen/Ernest T. (Andy Griffith) -Charles (MASH) -Uncle...

I know that there’s still five months left of 2020 and I normally wait until the beginning of the next new year to do an audio commentary review but after listening to the Onward commentary I have… some thoughts. This is going to get a little political so you’ve been warned. So right off the...

For those not in the know, Fred was a special effects guy for the Henson company. I recently sent him an email asking what were the most fun /challenging Henson projects he's ever worked on and I thought you'd be interested in hearing his reply: "The most difficult effect I worked on was in...

In the years since I first posted this thread, a few Seuss properties have had new adapts that I'd love to hear your thoughts on : the new animated Grinch film (which I think if nothing else has made us all grateful for the Jim Carrey film in a way we weren't before) and the Green Eggs and Ham...

If there's one strength that carries through all the Muppet films I's say moreso than in most films period), it's a goal to keep the story moving forward at all times and to always keep the audience interested and invested. That goal alone is why when a scene stops the movie flat (and not in a...

I recently sent a fan email to Bernie Labarge (the lead guitarist on all Fraggle Rock recording sessions) asking if he had any special memories of working on the show and I thought you would all like to hear his response: "Hi Brian, Very nice to hear from a Fraggle fan. I was just breaking...

Saying a Netflix show does well is subjective: only on Netflix can shows like Kimmy Schmidt and 13 Reasons Why run multiple seasons. And if the DC series does have fans, one wonders how many of them have seen the original film.

The Gelflings' eyes in the redesign come across much darker and more soulless compared to the original film. And when they move their mouths you get this weird duck-lippy thing that's really unnatural. With this new series it's almost like they designed the armatures/mechanics first and then...

Maybe it was a slight misquote when I said 'twenty' but when I joined this forum in 2004 the film had been in production for quite a few years. So maybe not quite twenty but definitely more than ten. At the very least, he needs to make the Farscape movie he's been promising for 15+ years. Or...

I don't know where to begin with this series. The Gelflings are horrifying-looking and there's no reason for it with all the technological advancements made in this kind of puppetry since the first film came out. And the pre-recorded dialogue syncs up abysmally with the puppet manipulation...

For a movie that was 20+ years in the making, 'Happytime Murders' was a huge disappointment. The premise can have holes poked in it in an instant: puppets are a minority. First of all, Avenue Q did this waay better. Also, the ‘puppet’ characters aren’t really even by definition puppets...

Still none of that explains why you would comment on a thread celebrating a character you don't care for. And the addition of an "in my opinion" might go a long way. Also, it's because she's largely forgotten that makes her a perfect character for an appreciation thread. I was actually...

Well, then what the blue **** did you comment for? Which already exists: https://muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/biff-and-sully-appreciation-thread.62198/

Ingrid, of course, being wife to Humphrey and mother to Baby Natasha. I've always thought Ingrid was a very underrated character with a great voice ( I swear, it's the only character Joey Mazarrino performed that doesn't sound like all his other characters) and a great overall design. In...

^^^For what it's worth, I liked the Christmas Ornaments sketch. As far as SNL's treatment of Trump goes*, two things: 1) They're kinder to him than Stephen Colbert is. 2) When Darrell Hammond was a regular cast member waay before Trump was president, he was the resident Trump impersonator and...

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and Tomorrowland.

2018 was a pretty decent year for DVD commentaries actually. The only one I thought was pretty lame was Incredibles 2. It starts off with writer/director Brad Bird introducing himself and the film and then dropping the bomb that the commentary was going to be an all-animator commentary. This...

Agree with all that, only to add that unlike Hopper, you have to go a long way to like Bitterman. I really feel like at least in the first third of TMM, Hopper does have humor and a slight likability factor. See, I see the 2015 series and the two Bobin films as the exception to the rule...
