    Henson slashes European arm

    It was a smart move for the Henson kids. I'm not so sure it ended up a smart move for the Henson Company. Initially i guess the kids planned it so that a well funded Henson under EMTV would have been fine meeting the rent and they'd personally gain from it on the side. The way things actually...

    Something buggin me about Steve's Kermit...

    Was it ever established whether the Piggy video at Muppetfest was Frank or Eric ? I had heard it was a closet Eric performance done on video as if by Frank to see if anyone noticed but not sure if it's true or not.

    Henson slashes European arm

    Thats what i thought, but there continues to be these serious rumors they are about to make some big cuts in the USA soon and it's hard to see where. You would assume staff cuts but i thought they had already got it down to the bare minimum, they couldn't completely close TV production because...

    Henson slashes European arm

    I don't think the UK had any problems, it was doing well, maybe better than the USA at least production wise. It just cost too much to run and i guess when you are talking Henson, they've got to look after the American side of the business and the Muppets first. Don't get me wrong, it's...

    Henson slashes European arm

    Guys, Just wanted to explain that the reason i had to rewrite the article was because my copy of Broadcast went 'missing' so i had to grab a friends when we were out and about and just take quick notes on my PDA. I think you can actually get the original now by signing up for a free trial at...

    Koozebane Kermit Arrives: When and Where

    It will ship to Target again at the same time as the release of Series 5 and then Series 6 but these shipments will be in smaller quantities than the Series 4 release.

    Who owns the USA Muppet rights?

    AFAIK those rights remain unsold at the moment and are back with Henson. Not sure if they are offering those right now, or if anybody wants them. I think Henson charge a lot more than some other companies.

    Some extra info concerning Palisades Muppets Line

    I agree, these last two deluxe sets have been a million miles away from the first two that came out. Obviously the geek section of Star Trek fans hang around comic shops a lot so Palisades is going to be in the right place to cash in - you just gotta hope that there isn't some limited edition...

    Some extra info concerning Palisades Muppets Line

    There is only one playset announced as yet, not two. I think Palisades are taking it easy, they have begun work on this one but i think it's release depends on how Swinetrek sells.

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    I think with the forum down this gives him opportunity for a rest - poor guy. Still answering all these questions could lead to a glittering career as a game show contestant !

    Test Shots of Clifford in Chair

    It looks good, the chair and phone are very good. The way the figures been sculpted shows off a lot of the joints and lines but the paint will take a lot of the attention off it.

    Are Ernie and Bert gay?

    Although suprisingly in both real life discussions and interviews it's none other than Frank Oz who has been the one to give a nudge, wink and smile when asked if Bert and Ernie were supposed to be gay. :p :(

    Shocked

    I think you should be free to repost, with the links - just in a thread in the general discussion forum about AIDS, not Richard. I'm guessing thats the problem - his death has been publicly reported as being from AIDS, he was a public figure so as long as a thread about his death contains fact...

    When will series 7 be announced?

    Apparently they are going to list the lineups for the next few series in a club newsletter for club members only next week, it'll include pictures of the S7 sculpts. I don't know when they plan to announce it to non club members but i'd imagine you'll see it listed on the forums anyway.
