    Muppet Action Figures For Sale! Gotta Go!

    Hey Jon, you will probably get a lot more bids if you put Action figures, and Palisades in your auction title as well. People tend to search for Muppet Action Figures or Palisades Muppets. Good luck!

    Could Disney be selling The Muppets?

    Exactly, they are doing the high end merchandise because they have little TV product out there right now, they gotta focus on the hardcore fans. As soon as they start putting shows on TV (we hope) it'll be worth them putting low end stuff out in the shops. Which is kinda what we want - even if...

    Bill Barretta is a Sexy Muppet Mans

    You know what they oughta do, some kinda expansion of that Muppet From Space - Lab Rats theme. Those characters were awesome - i could just see that as some kinda 5 min per episode late night adult puppetry sitcom type thing.

    Henson's Skrumps premiere on Yahoo Kids

    They look fun, and very wacky. I thought you could get that Henson podcast in MP3 or something? Has anyone got the videos in another format as well? I don't consider them Muppet Canon, being CGI, not Muppet design, and not even designed by Henson - but i think its the right kinda thing for...

    RIP Yvonne DeCarlo

    Yeah there were a lot of rumors going around that she had. So no only Butch Patrick and the Two Marilyn's are alive from it.

    RIP Yvonne DeCarlo

    No, she didnt, and very sad news. I luv the Munsters - thats her and Al dead within the last few years.

    Thread deleting.

    It seems to me that most of this flaming on the forum seems to come from the "General Discussion" and "Friends And Family" sections, where people seem to have started to use it as a chat room and start threads on anything from "I lost my girlfriend" to "My hamster is teething, can you help?"...

    Possible Puppet Show Passed On

    Interesting story Curtis, and i can understand how legally he is "creator" with the very basic idea years before but quite shameless really just how much he has traded on it since his own take was never used. At least it should get a lot of press though for Frankenstein i should imagine. Really...

    No the cardboards ON the washboard. It got soggy during the audition process. I'd better get someone to clean the casting couch too!

    No we've got Eminem and 50 Cent doing that, with Kelly Clarkson on Triangle and Britney on the Washboard!

    Help With My Jh Documentary

    You could also try the Jim Henson Legacy people, who look after archive stuff and other enqueries about Jim's life and work. Just do a search for the site in Google.

    Could Disney be selling The Muppets?

    They bought the "Brand" and put it under Consumer Products, not any of the actual TV production departments so yeah their main aim is to sell stuff rather than to make TV or movies. I don't think a lot of people understand that - yeah they are controlled by licensing people instead of TV...

    Possible Puppet Show Passed On

    Hi Curtis. Thanks for clearing that up. I agree with Fozzie Bear, sounds like a great idea and one that would i think been very popular. I stopped by your blog and also found your take on the origins of "Bob" very interesting, i've read other interviews with Keith Chapman in License magazine...

    Could Disney be selling The Muppets?

    You're right in a way, at the end of the day they are a public company with shareholders who could decide to sell off anything, though very unlikely. It's worth it for Disney just to hold onto the Muppets if only to profit from TV distribution and licensing. Still, times are changing in the...

    Look! "Before You Leap" is an amazing book

    Yeah you're right, it is a matter of opinion. It was meant light hearted, but i think a lot of people cite the poor performance of that movie as the main reason Disney have done very little since with the Muppets. Also i would have said VMX was the first major return of Scooter - Moulin...

    Could Disney be selling The Muppets?

    They are actually now called "The Muppet Studio's LLC" (THE is very important i guess) and yeah this took place in late 2006. As for whether they are selling them or have many projects in the works, i have to seriously doubt those customer service people know anything at all, unless they have a...
