I'm hoping that the success of the new show will make one of the Australian cons want to host some Muppet guests. Fingers crossed.

I'd like to see the Muppets world being a "neighbouring kingdom" to Disney Castle. Mickey and Kermit are friends, so that can carry over to the KH universe. The world could have the castle on one side and the Muppet Show theatre on the other.

"Friday the thirteen" for Fozzie's joke videos, and no special reference. How disappointing.

Yes, and no. Celebrities are real people, and a breakup is a real breakup. There's no larger narrative they're following. We have no idea what will happen to them in the future. Whereas for Kermit and Piggy, we can know that this is one step in a story arc, and look forward to their (highly...

It's certainly a publicity stunt, but I also think it's probably-necessary setup for the new show. Partly, as someone above suggested, to keep with the "reality show" illusion, but also because some (many?) people would be confused if they don't actually see the breakup, but the show begins...

Muppet Wiki says that there was a different suit performer for Season 5.

Yep, I'd say he's in his thirties at least. The Muppet Show has the vibe that the characters have been doing this (mediocrely) for years and years. Also Fozzie's mother seems quite old.

I seriously don't get the fuss over Kermit saying "****" in this context. He's not using it as a swear word, he's using it as a description. (It's not even like "**** on Earth" is a phrase he made up.) Is this a much bigger deal in America or something? (EDIT: Okay so apparently it's a big...

She's also not-quite-so-"all-knowing" in the earlier episodes. Some of her 'advice' is accidental and the Fraggles (and maybe the rats) only believe she's a true oracle. (At least that's how I remember it, I've only watched through the series twice.) Not sure when it shifted exactly, but by "The...

The problem with communicating would be in making first contact. The Doozers don't seem to ever come up to the surface, and the Gorgs - well, I guess Marjory could just talk to them but I don't think they'd react very sensibly. (She'd be pretty small by their scale, and they'd think she's some...

Wading into this discussion a bit late, but it's already been resurrected, so why not. Good grief, the comedian's a bear! I just had a mental image of his hole overlapping with Doozer tunnels. (I think because they also mine vegetables from underneath the garden.) How sweet would that be? I...

I suspect the "ban on broadcasting" might not extend to live screenings. Potentially that could mean it can be included on a physical DVD, but not shown on TV or streaming Internet. I don't know where the dividing line is.

More likely to be "Village" with really loopy "Ls". Still no idea what it means though.

I played it (and paid $30 to do so). Let me go find the post I made on ToughPigs at the time... --- [8 November 2014] I've finished the game now, other than going back for some collectibles. It was... okay. Could be worse, could be better. Some thoughts as I go along: - There isn't any...

Haha, I hadn't seen that clip before! Anyway, I don't have time to look it up now, but i remember in "The Muppets on Puppets" (on the season 3 boxset) there was a bit where they did a puppet show then explained the 'behind the scenes' process and effects. It included an explosion that from...

Thanks for that. It's a great deal! Time to read Journey to the Everspring! =D

A cheap TV is probably a good start - you can try getting an old CRT (box-shaped) one secondhand - or even flat-screen TVs are at the point where you can get smaller old ones cheap. Also try "Freecycle", which is a website/mailing list where you can offer and request items for free; someone...

I don't think that's giving Walter enough credit. He knows "The Muppets" was just a movie. I'm sure I've seen 'behind the scenes' videos where he says so. As an alternative I think they could have some fun with Jim Parsons (ie. 'human Walter') making an appearance. Maybe people can't tell him...

Wait, is that all? I don't even know what they're trying to aim for. The other one was okay because the bad jokes were just a setup for the punchline, but here the joke is supposed to be the entertainment itself. (...okay, so in the realm of 'standard jokes' I quite like that one. But it still...

The "Mothers Day" clip still is still saying 'not available in your country', and isn't visisble on the YouTube channel page. Is that the same for everyone, or is Australia missing out?
