    Long John Silvers says "Adios" to Pepe

    I love those commercials and all that stuff. Would it be completely illegal of me to suggest someone who could burn a VCD just happened to visit that site someday? Best things about the screen test - PEPE-RONI!

    Eisner Vetoed...

    Nah - it'd be MUCH more fun to see him THWACKED with the Rubber Chicken! I was so waiting for you to call in Kev to that Larry King show and say "Mr Eisner, Kevin Williams here and I have a rubber chicken beside me with your name on it!"

    Henson sells Muppets to Disney

    Actually Jim was being messed around by the Disney execs just as much as anyone is nowadays during those negotiations. He was AFAIK still intending to go through with the sale. He was more interested in the characters being able to live on through Disney's massive staying power than any little...

    What Disney is getting from Henson...

    Yeah i would gather it means whatever of those movies the Henson Company actually owns. Basically Disney want ownership of ANYTHING Henson produced with a Muppet in it, hence purchasing some of those specials and the Muppet segments of JHH. They don't want anyone else to be able to show a...

    Editorial: A new era or bad divorce?

    They actually did have plans for Fraggles. It's been something they've been trying to push for two years now. What happens now? Who knows !

    What Disney is getting from Henson...

    ALL the Muppet movies are included - and absolutely anything with a Muppet in it. I think thats what the guy means. Nice work Kenny !!!!!!!!

    Eisner Vetoed...

    Actually Jim really got on with Eisner, and despite some rocky moments in the 90's so do the Henson kids. It's Katzenburg who Jim didn't like so much.

    Ernie and Grover Figure Pics

    At that price they are supposed to be made for adults AND kids not just kids. If they are gonna be cheap kiddie stuff they should price em that way. These are worth no more than $6 at most. I don't think we are being harsh at all.

    Statler & Waldorf 's Box

    As they said Studio D - it's the one that houses the 'house' sets and the cafe i think. I prefer Kelly myself ! LOL !

    Ernie and Grover Figure Pics

    OMG - Poor Ernie !!! Grover isn't bad but his face looks a bit gaunt and sucked in.

    Who has seen international Fraggle Rock?

    Fulton Mckay was the captain. He's mega-famous so you can probably find pictures of him through a search.

    Statler & Waldorf 's Box

    It's been discussed here a few times over the years, the Eastenders actual studio space is not normally open to tours.

    Fraggle Rock Region 2 DVD to be released in April

    Keep in mind that CTHE's distribution license with Henson runs out this year, they'll have to sign a new one just for FR to make any more DVD's. It's the reason why they are rushing so much Henson stuff out at the moment in the UK & States. Great news about the disc, hope we get the...

    Editorial: Trapped in the Magic Kingdom

    Heck well i've got tons of experience from my past life as a costume rabbit - maybe i can get a gig as Sweetums? I wonder who you apply to if you want work as a big hairy monster.

    Editorial: Trapped in the Magic Kingdom

    From what i gather they are also retaining the Muppeteers. It's early days but it'll probably work out the same as Sesame hiring them for SS. Henson are the production company so it's upto them to hire the talent - same with the puppet workshop although i haven't heard that for sure...

    UK's Fraggle DVD

    It's actually been delayed until the 4th of May. Sorry to dissapoint.

    Editorial: Coming to Terms with Life after Jim

    You won't - it'll just be a project here and there and there'll probably be a twist to it - not just classic muppet shows in CGI. C'mon they didn't spend $60-$100 million to completely change the face of what people have loved about these characters for years. Sure they'll want to use new...

    Disney's Michael Eisner On CNN's Larry King Live Tonight

    OMG we're doomed then ! ;) How can you judge the Muppets movie success on MFS? It was a fine movie but of course it didn't do well - it had little promotion, build up, backing like something such as "Toy Story" or "Finding Nemo". Nowadays if a movie isn't made by one of the top...

    Disney's Michael Eisner On CNN's Larry King Live Tonight

    I thought it was pretty depressing actually. Yeah he says the Muppets are gonna be back in a big way, but did you see him gulp when asked if they would do a big theatrical movie? I guess the answer is no to that one for now. I got the impression he thinks the Muppets are in a lot of trouble...
