    The World Without Him

    I'm very sorry for the long delay in posting this new chapter! The storm we had last week, like I said before, really threw things off for me. That, and the oh-so-annoying writer's block hit me (couldn't figure out how I wanted to start chapter 2). I was finally able to get this going tonight...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    Well, to each their own. I was disappointed that so many Muppet fans hated MFS and IAVMMCM and treated them like they were horrible, while I had the total opposite opinion. I felt this movie was, despite some of the old classic stuff being thrown in, "watered down"...because it was. It...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    While I was disappointed with this special, and honestly feel it's the weakest of all the Muppet movies and specials over the years...I did still enjoy it and will buy it on dvd when it comes out. I really hope they have an extended edition though, the movie felt so short and rushed...maybe I...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    I agree with you on this, it really did feel like there was something missing with this special. The mom and kid were just kinda thrown in there, the Santa bits were IMO poorly done (I didn't mind that he was in it, I'm sure he's showed up on Sesame Street before, I just thought the childish...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    The whole special felt like it should have taken place on SS with the SS characters instead of Kermit and his crazy crew. I thought it was cute, but again...too kiddy for my tastes. I'm hoping to warm up to it more upon furthur viewings. There wasn't really much interaction between the two...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    Was it my imagination, or did Santa call Gonzo dear? (I'm pretty sure he had been replying to Gonzo) I really disagree with you here. Gonzo (as he did in MFS and his role in MCC) was always great to see in the spotlight, and I personally love it when he is. As much as I love Kermit too, it...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    Pepe and Rizzo are partners in crime, but I don't feel that (aside from sarcastic comments and jokes exchanged between the two) they're really all that buddy buddy. Rizzo and Gonzo are best friends...I was kinda sad that we didn't really see any of it shine in this specail. Kermit getting...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    Yeah, I noticed his glasses looked bigger and the chin too...it threw me off at first to be honest. I just can't get over how cute Bunsen and Beaker's scenes were (Bunsen trying not to look at the hot girl Beaker wished for, his happiness when Beaker returned, wanting to cut in the...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    I hate to say it (especially with the praise it's gotten so far here), but I was pretty disappointed with this one...I actually thought it was kinda bad at some parts. It was far too kiddy to me, it felt more like something that Sesame Street should have done. I have a few favorite moments...

    Will a soundtrack album for Letters To Santa be released?

    I hope so (if there is one, I hope "I Believe in Santa Clause" is on it too in the addition to the songs from the special). Don't know if it'll be released this year though, since the special itself isn't listed anywhere for pre-order...

    Your Thoughts: Letters to Santa Teaser On-line

    I live in MA too, we didn't have any power/heat/running water for 3 days! We got it back Monday night, and I'm hopeful that everyone else who lost their power will get it back soon. The news of another rumored storm this week (that I've heard various reports about from work) makes me wish...

    I used to love this show when I was a kid! Man, that brings back memories.

    It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Appreciation Thread!

    To those who have seen the deleted scenes, which ones do you wish were kept in? I wish they did an extended edition for this movie like they did with Oz, there were a couple of deleted scenes I wish they kept: The Great Santa Clause Switch The Bus Stops Here (adds to the dreadful feeling we...

    Promo: Elmo Cameo in Scrubs Season 8, Now on ABC

    I love Scrubs (even though, I honestly have only seen about maybe 10-15 episodes total through repeats...scattered episodes), and am thrilled about it moving to ABC. I didn't see the promo in question, but I heard about it from my mother and sister (they know I'm a Muppet nut, and knew I'd get...

    The World Without Him

    Sorry I haven't been on in a few days, I live in New England where the icy Noreaster hit so I haven't been able to use my computer. However, the power's back on (most of my town and the surrounding area is back up and running thankfully)! It's kind of late tonight, so I don't think I'll be...

    The World Without Him

    Well, I've been toying around with the idea of writing a couple of Muppet fanfics for a while, and was inspired by IAVMMCM to write this one. This first chapter is nothing major, just an explanation for some of the minor characters and their situations before I get into the bigger stars of the...

    It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Appreciation Thread!

    I loved this movie when I first saw it back in 2002 the night it aired, and I love it even more now. I was honestly suprised to see so much dislike for it, I thought it was excellent. The humor was great, and the emotion (and wonderfully performed range of emotion for the key characters) was...

    Favorite Online Muppet Videos (either from the Disney site, or Muppet Youtube)

    I was just curious about everyone's favorite online vid the Muppets have done over the last year or so. Mine would be: The "Riding on Top of the Elevator" one is easily my favorite of the ones on the Disney site. It's like out of a horror movie, and yet is oh so funny. I was laughing so...

    Classic Muppets filming NBC Christmas special

    I have not looked at all the links here (although I'm grateful they were posted on this thread) because I don't want to get too spoiled. It looks and sounds great, which is good because I was worried this new movie/special was going to be more kid-oriented when I heard the plotline for it...

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Gonzo Replica

    I got my Gonzo last week, but because I had a bit of a cold I didn't want to really touch him or anything. I'm all better now, so I'm not afraid of getting him germy. They did great with him, although he's harder to pose than I thought (then again, I'm being uber careful while moving his arms...
