    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    In character terms i'd agree because its actually anything that has been inspired by the old stuff (VMX, DXD, Weezer, Muppet Show Live) that has actually had more critical success than the new "trying to be cool" stuff. I also think new viewers prefer Muppets in a group but they're not featured...

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    What i mean by it is that the same old lines were being used over and over when asked about their relationship. While Jim and Frank carried it off very well there's only so many times you can be asked about Kermit and Piggys relationship in an interview and come out with a different answer...

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    It might be your age, a lot of us around 30'ish somethings are just old enough to remember TMS first time around and all the characters have changed slightly since then i have to admit. A lot of the younger guys here only came to the Muppets around the time of MTI so the more modern characters...

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    I would have said yes but looking at Empires background and business model i think they aren't in the same league and the whole point to them is that they make indie films for small budgets (usually 5-10m) and making them financially attractive for investors by filming in countries with tax...

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    I get the reason why they announced this prior to getting Henson or Disney involved, or perhaps they announced it after trying and failing to get involvment to see what turns up, or perhaps they didn't bother as they know it won't work - but i really don't see Disney getting involved with an...

    Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas Musical

    A lot of the time things just get announced very early into the devlopment process, much like the Henson biographical film. The Muppet websites just pass on whatever news or press releases there are but so many things have been rumoured and announced and never been made. It's quite common with...

    My Little Video....

    Well done Stacey, great voice, timing and puppetry. You remind me a little of Karen Prell.

    England Hit by 5.2 Quake, Biggest in UK Since 1984

    It was just a minor tremor, not even power outages. Very few people even noticed, so things are fine!

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    ** Applauds ** Well said Frogboy, totally agreed. Dave and Gonzo are my absolute favourites. I am loving the elevator clips, and love that Gonzo outfit. I think these will go to show Diz that these guys are ready for their own show.

    The Smurfs Season 1 Vol 1 on DVD Today!

    I used to watch it as a kid. I've not remembered it as well as others but will try to catch a few eps on the net and if i still like it, get the DVD. Thanks for telling us, i'd never have known. I'm mixed on the idea of a movie. If it's the Smurfs we all know and love then of course...

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    Yeah the letters thing is my only criticism, i can see the reason for it, but still, blindboxed, people might need to buy 26 (or more) just to spell their name. If they were just in window boxes i could see the casual browsers doing the letter thing but not blindboxed. I still would have said...

    Piggy appears on Bruce's Birthday!

    Someone told me about this, it was recorded on his actual birthday (or thats what i heard) but maybe it was just a VT message.

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    It would have been co-announced with the Henson Legacy, no doubt about that. Look at how involved they are with anything Jim related. When i'm saying that i think some people have got the wrong idea, it has to be said quite a few people have voted and posted in this thread talking about how...
