For the record I am not a Disney hater. Used to be during the original Muppet Disney buy era, but I like most of you am wildly excited about Marvel, Star Wars and original CG fair like Wreck it Ralph and Big Hero 6. I'm just concerned as a Muppet fan of nearly four decades what the legacy or...

Lionsgate is the BEST thing to happen to the Muppets/Jim Henson DVD releases, like ever.

Rocky and Bulwinkle as well as Courage and other classic cartoons you've mentioned do not have the lineage, legacy or prolific nature of The Muppets and Jim Henson productions, not by a long mile. There could literally be a 24 hour jim henson/sesame/muppet channel and they'd never run out of...

2011 Muppets movie was an anomaly, as I just get the feeling the public by and large, cept for some older college geeks, are not big into the Muppets. In 2003 I quipped how Brian Henson's Farscape at the time had a much larger fanbase than the Muppets. I still maintain actual Muppet fans are...

With both the huge Star Wars Disney Celebration in may, new Star Wars film and 60th annv of both the Muppets and Disneyland...any chance you think of a new SW Muppet line? I feel the SW Muppets are one of the best Muppet merchandise things of the last decade...but would love to see Statler and...

Great overview. I remember being on the old Muppet Central forums when Muppets From Space came out, and I gotta say there was a LOT of huge enthusiasm. 1995-1999 was actually a pretty exciting time for the Muppets. I miss when JHC owned Muppets, Sesame, Bear and Fraggles. Back when we had all...

Sadly, I doubt we will ever get any of those...but I'm hoping for more specials and hopefully new merchandise Seriously, it feels like we haven't gotten any decent Muppet merch since Disney took over

VERY good to hear. I didn't read part 3 left. To me Kirk Thatcher is at the heart of the Muppets so it's comforting to hear. Just feels like the Muppets and especially the fans have been abandoned...especially as Star Wars, Frozen, Pixar and Marvel mania will be the focus.

Disney owns virtually every main franchise on the planet...Star Wars, Pixar, Marvel, Muppets, etc. Noone can surely believe they can't afford to clear the music rights for the remaining seasons or the clips used in Muppet Babies. Come on now.

Haven't you people learned? Disney doesn't like releasing anything Muppet to the home market unless it's just the repackaged Muppet Movie, Caper, Carol, Oz or the two new movies. Funny they don't own the rights to Manhattan or MFS. Though it would be funny if we got Muppet Babies and Muppets...

Ken is back! I still feel bad for all the flack and headache Ken and company often got by everyone on here:) Yeah, ten years after the end of the Palisades line, Sal was the main figure that almost was but never came to be that irks me for not happening.

Meanwhile, we've gotten what seems like thousands of Sesame Street dvds and vhs tapes in the last three decades.

Just wondering if anyone has a theory why, after TEN years Disney still refuses to release Muppet works on the home market? Heck, between 2009 and 2010 Lionsgate films released way more Muppet/Henson related dvds than Disney has in a decade. Disney just keeps re-releasing the same movies(Muppet...

I recently rewatched all six episodes of Disney Drive On Muppets, still absolutely love the whole vibe of it. Of course, Disney won't release it on dvd. Disney seems to be allergic to releasing Disney era Muppets on dvd and instead rather just rerelease the movies ad nauseum. Btw ANY Muppet...

Anyone know what the Disney Parks special will be for their 60th anniversary? Like get in for $60 ? :)

1. That sucks Frozen is running through mid may, was planning a trip to disneyland in may. Will postpone TIL MUPPETVISION 3D IS BROUGHT BACK :) 2. Lionsgate released MORE Muppet stuff on dvd in two years than Disney has in a decade. Go figure. They released song of the cloud forest and Dog...

Loving the Furchester Hotel series! I think some of us were frustrated when UK stuff like the Hoobs and Mopatop way back when were only available in the UK markets, just like I'm sure international fans were miffed when US productions were only available in US markets. But SSW really made a good...

I'm hoping that Louise image is indicative of something interesting brewing...as SIXTY YEARS since the debut of the Muppets, and with two major Disney tentpole Muppet films in recent times...things feel DEPRESSING. There's no Muppet merchandise in stores, no muppet visibility out there. It's...

For the record I loved Letters to Santa, all the 2008 Muppets.com skits and the recent Muppets Disney Drive so I don't get why they can't do a new tv series.

Dude, let's be honest. There was hardly any merchandise. I should have known better but I was hoping/expecting merchandise THIS time around as we were promised. "well well uh if The Muppets 2011 is successful then next movie we'll get tons of merch!" uh yeah freaking right. I've seen tonnns of...
