It's the Empire Podcast #16 from June 15th 2012

Please, Please PLEASE, everybody who loves the Muppets, download the Empire Podcast featuring Kermit and Pepé...IT'S HILARIOUS!!!!!! It contains some truly awesome gems such as Kermit and Pepé doing impressions of Elmo and Pepé proclaiming Kermit could "kick Elmo's ***!". At one point you can...

There was an ad done a couple of years ago, I think it was for Chrysler, and it was essentially digital puppets sat around a table discussing the product. It was such a superfluous exercise in wasting money. The CGI puppets were terrible and had none of the charm real puppets do. I can remember...

Put it this way, I'd like to see the Muppets as puppets replaced with CGI about as much as I would my own family. They have flaws, could have a few rough edges smoothed out with pixels but I wouldn't have them any other way! Leave CGI for Dinosaurs, Robots and Aliens! I personally feel CGI is...

A catagorically emphatic "no!!!!!!". Like Jamie said, I'm all for enhancing the puppetry, but NEVER replacing it!! Oh dear god, no!! Let's hope we NEVER see that day! I feel dirty even entertaining the notion. Excuse me whilst I go for a shower...

I like that sentiment Cindy, I like that a lot! :) And clearly from these responses, my experience isn't indicative of others! That is GREAT to hear...and now I can simply reply "you're wrong!" :D

Drtooth/Borples, I wholeheartedly agree with many of your points. When I saw the movie I was amazed at how much heart it had and the level of innocence without being too sugary. And clearly, the box-office results show theres love for our favourite felt fellows. Like yourselves, I've been on the...

First off...any haters or overly sensitive people please don't continue to read. The last thing I want to do is offend, hand on heart! And, can I also state for the record that I loved "The Muppets"... NOW... I don't know if any one else has experienced this, and I personally find it rather...

That would be great!!!! Let me know if theres anything you need :)

Does anyone have MP3's of the Muppet Show Music Album available for trade? I own the LP but have looked everywhere and you can't seem to buy the CD! I have a number of Mp3s for trade if anyones interested. Please pm me if you can help :) Many thanks in advance Stuart

I would love the idea of Madame Tussauds creating a waxwork of Jim Henson performing Kermit - the would be something I would pay to see.

Fozzie road-kill? That...is...frightening!! :o

I sincerely doubt any apologies are necessary - I highly doubt it's the first time it's happened and definitely not the last! It's a HUGE compliment to the performers that they provoke such a reaction in the fans!! I really wouldn't worry about it :)

Do not get your hopes up, Sir. It's more likely that Elvis will rise from the grave than an EFX Rizzo arrive on my doorstep on the 22nd. I just find it slightly odd that after 12 months of no communication, I have suddenly had this announcement that "apparently" came from EFX. Now, I'll just...

Ok, make of this what you will... I have just had an email regarding my order for Rizzo that was placed two years ago(!!!!!!!) on play.com. They said Rizzo will be coming into stock on 22nd June. Obviously I was more than a little cynical so I phoned them up. The lady confirmed that this was...

Howdy all UK fans! Has anybody bought the exclusive Sainburys edition of "The Muppets" on DVD with the bonus disk containing 3 hours of Muppet Show episodes?? If so, can you please post which episodes are on the disk? I already own the US Blu ray, however if this version contains any season 4 or...

There's not a cat in a hot places chance that he'll get £12,500 for it - he's clearly either delusional or on "medication"! Bear in mind (pun intended!), he originally had it on the site for months and months at £5,000 with no takers, so the logic of more than doubling the price is crazy!! We've...

I really hate it when people call Kermit "Mr Green head, flipper feet"...it's never actually happened yet but it would REALLY annoy me!:mad:

I'm not sure if this happened in the states but a number of the Gremlin statues here in the UK were sold off - I came close to getting the Girl Gremlin at one time but it was too damaged to even consider when viewed up close. They also occasionally come up on eBay too. It would genuinely be my...

I cannot express my exact feelings for this without the use of expletives!! Needless to say, I think she is ••••••• awesome!!!!!!!! Absolutely incredible - seeing this really made my day!
