    Muppets Now Episode 2 - Fever Pitch

    This one was so so so much better than the first episode! Pepe’s game show was hilarious, it was great to see Bunsen and Beaker, the Swedish Chef segment was much better, as was Piggy’s. The guests didn’t feel as “intrusive” to me in this episode. Is this the show that they said was all improv...

    Muppets Now Episode 1 - Due Date (Pilot)

    I completely agree with what you said about preferring the Muppets in a “sitcom” format. I’ve *always* felt this way, even when I was a little kid. I loved the Muppet movies, but I never loved The Muppet Show. For one thing, it’s way before “my time”, so my unfamiliarity with the majority of the...

    Muppets Now Episode 1 - Due Date (Pilot)

    I liked it, but I didn’t love it. A lot my issues with it are definitely “me problems”, I’ll admit. The main thing is, I didn’t really know any of the guests outside of Linda Cardellini so maybe if I knew them it would have worked better for me? I thought it was kind of odd that Swedish Chef...

    What songs does Disney/Buena Vista have to deal with from seasons 4 and 5 of The Muppet Show?

    I hate that Disney won’t put these out. I’ve given up all hope. It’s nkt worth getting frustrated over. But you’d think they would at LEAST make them available digitally. Maybe they’ll show up on the Disney streaming service.

    Let's Take a Stand:The Muppet Show Season 4 and 5

    Would the music rights issues still apply to streaming, though?

    Let's Take a Stand:The Muppet Show Season 4 and 5

    Hey I wonder if they’ll put The Muppet Show on the Disney streaming service that’s coming out. That’d kinda cool.

    Your Thoughts: "Muppet Guys Talking" premieres on-line March 16, 2018

    I was wondering the same thing about Steve too. I mean, this was obviously filmed before all the drama over Steve getting fired (I think), so it just seems strange that a performer who actually worked with Jim (and took over his most well known character) wouldn’t be included. I haven’t...

    The Muppets 2015: What went wrong?

    I personally thought it was perfect the way it was from the start. After the “retool”, I didn’t think it was as good (but still really good). What’s there not to like? It was like taking The Office and the Muppets and putting them together.. a winning combination!

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

    I figured as much. The Pentatonix video was great, I honestly never expected to see Constantine again now that they have the same performer, so that was a nice surprise. I still miss Steve though. I was watching the Single All The Way episode of the 2015 show and it’s kind of sad looking at...

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

    I guess he’s still getting it down. He did sound amazing at the Bowl and some other appearances, but yeah he definitely sounds a little off here.

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Ouch.. not even getting the whole Electric Mayhem out :( I thought some of these looked cool, but it was never anything I felt I HAD to get.. for several reasons. I have a (for the most part) complete Palisades collection, and also trying to be more responsible with money... and of course...

    What's next for the Muppets?

    I actually just started watching 30 Rock and it’s hysterical. It does remind me a lot of The Muppets (ABC).

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

    I’m still interested to hear what the other current performers think, especially Dave. But I can understand why it would be best if they stayed silent.

    Question for anyone that has the Best of The Muppet Show DVDs (need help with something)

    I decided to get the fifteen volumes of Best of The Muppet Show to have the episodes from seasons 4 and 5 on disc lol. Obviously I had to go to third party sites (eBay, Amazon). Some I bought brand new sealed, some I bought already opened. I’m concerned I might have gotten a couple bootlegs...

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

    Yeah it's funny. As many have said before, and I'm sure I've said it quite a few times, being born in the late '80s, I "grew up" on Steve's Kermit, so I'll always have that fondness towards him. And also, as I've said before, I adore Rizzo (and the Gonzo / Rizzo spotlight of the '90s) so that's...

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

    Personally I think Matt just keeps sounding better and better as Kermit.

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

    Personally I thought Matt sounded fantastic in that clip. Much better than the Thought of the Week (but I'm sure by now he's had a lot of time to practice). I'll miss Steve, and I really hate hearing about how he was difficult to work with and stuff (and I hope it's not all completely true)...
