    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    For the Count alone, he would be remembered forever. Then there are all the others. RIP, Jerry, we will always remember, love and miss you.

    Jim Henson "Creature Puppets" at Chick-fil-A

    Ooh! Love the new avatar. Is that from Montreal?

    Jim Henson "Creature Puppets" at Chick-fil-A

    I gotta tell you. My kids got those things, before the whole big controversy broke. And my very first thought when I saw them was, "Well, that looks like a finger trap." My oldest actually did get her finger caught, briefly. I know that the recall notice looks pretty shady, given the...

    Jim Henson "Creature Puppets" at Chick-fil-A

    Actually, there were tabs on the cardboard cut outs that fit into slots in the plastic tubes. But it was still a pretty lousy toy.

    Frank Oz: "New Muppets Too Cute"

    Innnteresting. I don't quite agree with him. There were a few parts of the movie that I found a little saccharine, but they were parts that dealt with Walter, Gary and Mary, not the Muppets themselves. I never felt like the Muppets were trying to be cute in the movie. They WERE cute, but...

    Video: Muppets appear at Just for Laughs Comedy Festival

    I love that. Full picture of Steve performing Kermit. Caption: "Kermit the Frog performs..." Muppeteers get no respect. :-) Can't wait for more pictures and reports and videos to start trickling in!

    The Muppet Christmas Carol coming to Blu-ray November 6

    I'm so excited for this. New Muppet commentary and new Intermission bits (probably) mean new Rizzo and Gonzo material!! Yaaay! I needed to buy a copy of MCC anyway; now I'm glad I didn't do it last year. :)

    Fraggle Rock Movie Gets Screenwriters (Hollywood Reporter)

    Sort of both. I dislike her, but not to the point where she makes me actually angry or anything. She's just so smug. She waltzes into Wembley's life and starts making decisions for him--when the whole point of the ep is that it's bad that Wembley's friends make his decisions for him! I mean...

    Fraggle Rock Movie Gets Screenwriters (Hollywood Reporter)

    She could be someone's least favorite, though. Grrrrrrr, Lou. :mad:

    Muppets Tonight what went wrong?

    I tend to think of the mid-late 90s period as the Muppets' adolescence. Separating from a father figure (forcibly, unfortunately, in this case), heading out on their own, trying to find out who they are. Trying to grow up, and in the process acting more childish than ever. And, like any good...

    2013 Muppets Wall Calendar

    Oh, I like that second one! You know what they should do some year? A parody calendar...but not the movie parodies. It should be a calendar parody. Like one month can be Kermit and Piggy on rocking chairs on the porch of a ridiculously quaint cottage surrounded by wildflowers. One month...

    Jim Henson "Creature Puppets" at Chick-fil-A

    The info's up on their site now. http://www.chick-fil-a.com/Kids/Meal Drtooth, looks like you had the right idea. Basically.

    Jim Henson "Creature Puppets" at Chick-fil-A

    I think that's a different one--those are board books for the 3-and-under kids' meals. Although, it would be perfect if they had those at the same time as the puppets, wouldn't it? The older kids get the puppets; the wee ones get the Pajanimals books?

    Jim Henson "Creature Puppets" at Chick-fil-A

    I wasn't sure whether to post this here or at Family Worlds or what. Please feel free to move it! My friend was at Chick-fil-A with her kids today, and she said the kids' meal prize was "something Jim Hensony." I looked at their web site, and starting July 16, they have "Jim Henson Creature...

    Muppet school items at Target's Dollar Spot

    No luck here. They had Dr. Suess stuff and Avengers stuff, but no Muppets. I'll have to try again next week.

    Animal is pretty awesome, right?

    They know how to use him. I love any time he hunches on screen, opens his eyes wide, growls something, lowers his eyebrows again, and hunches off. Like his part in Habanera. It's comedy gold. Both Frank and Eric do it perfectly. :halo:

    The Beauregard Thread--For Everybody Who Didn't Get A Joke

    I thought it must be something like that. It's still not much of a joke...but I guess that's the point. What I want to know is, is there anything insulting about the bear/Russian thing? Because the little headshake that Kermit gave Fozzie didn't look like a "That's a terrible joke!"...

    Well, why choose? They're all amazing characters, and you can love them all.
