While I was happy to see Kermit completely lose it in the 2002 Chrismtas movie, I'll admit that the character has just evolved. This started happening before Jim's passing, however. In The Muppets Take Manhattan, he still had the same pressure on him as the Muppet Show (more?) but he didn't...

From the promo video for his CD: "I have always tried to sing with the greatest voices of our time." OK, so he wasn't actually talking about the Muppets...

How do we buy it?

www.keephd.com fills my screen with popups and dialog boxes. www.keepvid.com also lets you download the 720p version, but no scary popups. I've not found anywhere that lets you get the 1080p version. Anyone have a 1080p YouTube downloader? Edit: Here's a Firefox add-on...

While I don't want to get into the "They HAVE to include my favorite underused Muppet" debate, I will say that I think Disney and Muppet fans underestimate the brand recognition of Rowlf. I don't have much hard evidence to base this on, but he was around for so long, and was generally so well...

If you become a fan of The Muppets Studio on facebook, they have some graphics of these on their page: http://bit.ly/7Sv555

OK, this has sucked me back into the forum again. Astounding stuff. This, along with the Halloween videos, is showing how timeless the Muppets can be when they're not being pushed into being hip and relevant. Really, would ANYthing from Disney-Not-Quite-Live or whatever have generated this kind...

You know what? All this Steve/Artie Kermit business, along with D22 (or 23 or whatever) got me coming back to MuppetCentral for the first time in years. I was excited to have some people share my enthusiasm and concerns about the future of the Muppets. Instead, all I've found is people...

Great idea, and a good way to make positive change. However, to get the most effect out of this, we need to make some slight changes to your plan. 1. We should not address them to Steve himself. The chances of the mail room just grabbing it and dropping it in the box to be forwarded or...

Hey Mr. 55, Sorry you stepped into the middle of all this nastiness. Thanks for your post. This is one of a few indicators that Steve and Disney are having "business" problems. The other main one being the emails coming back from Disney. In all honesty, this sounds far more logical than any of...

I'm curious if anyone knows how well these are selling so far. I remember the initial plan from not-quite-official sources talked about releasing Muppets Tonight and possibly even the Muppet Central bits of the Jim Henson Hour after the last Muppet Show season. I know the state of the...

Someone needs to write a guide to Muppet Forum Acronyms. I'm never sure how to type AVMMMMCM, and now TGMMOAT has been replaced by TCMMEM... It's like reading Roman Numerals...

IMHO, Disney most certainly should not issue a press release or make a formal statement of any kind. I said this elsewhere, but one of the greatest PR advantages the Muppets have is that the news media treats them like actual celebrities. Sure, the people on the Today Show have a little childish...

Can someone summarize the scale issues with the MR Kermit? I must admit I thought he was kind of small, but things always look smaller in real life... Is he 80% 90% According to the cement in DisneyWorld my hand is the exact same size as Jim Henson's, so I could rip my Kermit apart and see how...

Can anyone re-tell the story of Eric Jacobson's arrival on the scene? If memory serves, he started on Sesame Street first, then phased into the Muppets after Frank dubbed his lines for Muppets in Space over other puppeteer(s). Did Eric do small public appearances like these before the Very...

Having grown up with Jim Henson as Kermit, it's only in the last few years that I finally accepted Steve's Kermit. I started thinking of him as Roger Moore to Sean Connery. Not the same Bond, but with his own strengths and weaknesses. Kermit's just closer to my heart than 007, and therefore...

It was one of the few JHH episodes I managed to record on VHS back in the day. I can still pull up the theme song in my head. Definitely want to see that again!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Sadly, Dave Goelz wasn't able to make it this weekend, so that was a real bummer. Muppets 101 was fun to watch in an entire theater of people, and there were a few bits in there I hadn't seen in full, and I was laughing so hard I was in tears at times...

Didn't know which forum to post this in... This event is coming to Portland starting this weekend, but I'm now unemployed, so will have to pick and choose which events to attend. Can anyone who has seen this in other cities make recommendations? Here's the schedule of screenings: DAVE...

Funny thing is that all our friends and family put him up to all this. I didn't touch him all day - they posed him and photographed him. Thankfully they were all very respectful and he didn't get red wine on him! My friend did rescue him from my little cousins as the night wore on, as they were...
