    Muppet Villains: A Case Study

    I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and I don’t think we’ve actually had an in depth discussion about the Muppet film/TV villains on a case by case so I thought ding that would be fun and incite some good discussion. First, some housekeeping stuff: I’ve only seen The Muppets 2011 once...

    R.I.P. David Ogden Stiers

    Not to Not to mention that whole plot was done a lot better in the earlier episode "Hanky Panky".

    But realism doesn't necessarily always equal entertaining, especially in a comedy series. To switch gears to another show, the most realistic character in the US Office series is Stanley Hudson. But the writers never knew what to do with him and as such over a nine year series Stanley literally...

    Jumba is the one Disney character that i feel Stiers was miscast as. I think his deep vocal tone and Russian dialect clashes with the character design. Call me a weirdo but I thought Garry Shandling would be the perfect Jumba voice.

    1. Margaret was the love of Frank's life and I loved how when Margaret was breaking down her ideal man into percentages, she included Frank. And one of my favorite Margaret lines is "In some ways, Donald is no Frank Burns." .Moments like that prove in Technicolor that there was lots more to...

    R.I.P. David Ogden Stiers

    I've always had complicated feelings about Stiers. Frank Burns was not only my favorite MASH character but my favorite character in television history, period. So obviously whoever replaced him was going to be at a disadvantage but my God, the Charles character was practically intolerable...

    RIP Louis Zorich

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebrity/louis-zorich-paul-reisers-dad-on-mad-about-you-dies-at-93/ar-BBIA7Rt Zorich is best known (at least to Muppet fans) as Pete from "Muppets Take Manhattan". I posted this before, but I've always loved his performance in that film. Most celebrities in...

    The Decline of DVD Commentaries

    Is the commentary for Santa Clause 3 any different? Cuz it's the same director. Another awkward commentary I have to mention from the past year is Moana. It had a very cryptic feeling all the way through. Topics would be brought up and then left open-ended or one director would start a new...

    Jim Nabors RIP

    That's my second favorite episode, after Citizen's Arrest.

    Jim Nabors RIP

    Also Jack Burns, but I couldn't blame you if you didn't count Warren as a regular. Speaking of Warren (and also as a response to your post about characters filling the void), it's obvious that Goober filled the Gomer void, Warren and Howard filled the Barney void, but what I don't think most...

    The Catherine Tate thread

    As I said in the OP, it was only really overwhelming for me because of the media I partake in. In addition to The Office, I was in a production of Much Ado About Nothing the same year that Tate did a very high-profile revival of it in London and then was later released on DVD and one of my...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    If this has already been addressed, I'm sorry but I'm not going through 800 posts to find this out. Who will be recast as Beaker and Statler? I can definitely empathize with what happened to Steve and my heart goes out to him but if there truly has been a change in Kermit's character, I would...

    Meteora questions

    One of my favorite Muppet characters is Meteora from The Christmas Toy and I would love to build my own puppet version of her. However by watching the special I can't tell what her mouth mechanism is. If I had to guess I would say either a Waldo or headstick. Anyone have any ideas?

    The Muppets: Originals vs Recasts

    You sure you wanna open this can of worms?...Here we go. Steve: So like most of us, my first exposure to Steve's Kermit was MCC and since I was only four years old when that film came out, i couldn't ell the difference. And because so much time went by before I realized Steve replaced Jim, they...

    The Catherine Tate thread

    Even for me this might seem like a random thing to post about but it's been on my mind for a while and luckily I can kick it off in a somewhat Muppety way. Remember how 1981 was the unofficial year of Miss Piggy? Every store you went in there were Piggy calendars, cups, magazine covers, etc...
