I miss Frank Oz's deep voiced Miss Piggy. I always felt it added irony and sarcasm to her character. It was as if she went back and forth between being girly and manly. Now Miss Piggy is just ok... Too high pitched and she never reaches the manly thing anymore. The gestures aren't there...

I totally get the Spike Milligan episode. Spike was known for his dark humor which again shows how Henson wanted the Muppet Show to be more for adults. Comedians have always been racy and un-PC. Watch Eddie Murphy's "Raw" - it's not PC but you will laugh your behind off no matter who you...

I'm reluctant to watch them all as I know it will take forever to get the next series. I'm savoring them all and observing every detail. It's really cool to watch these on the big screen. I think when you watch them on television/small format you don't get as much. I wasn't really fond of...

Thank you Wess. I like Bale but,find him earily similar to Henson as well. He could do it right.

Christian Bale as Jim Henson I'm sorry, I know i've been over this before. I just happened to run across this photo. Doesn't Bale have an uncanny resemblance to Jim? It wouldn't be a stretch to make him Henson.

Peyton - I love your observations about how the guest stars interact with the muppets. I thought Gildna Radner was a natural with them and Raquel Welch seemed very comfortable as well - she was practically naked dancing with a giant spider and somehow made it look easy.

I agree about the cover art - kind of a strange un-fozzylike color. Maybe we should all doctor him up like the master replicas gonzo. Speaking of gonzo - I sure hope he's on the next cover! I had some folks over to watch a couple of episodes (Raquel Welch & the giant spider being my fave)...

Well, at least I did my part to plug the show. This is an old friend of mine who has a very popular blog. She's Lady Bunny from NY and I had her add a clip from the new series: Beware - it's an adult site and scroll down it's Raquel Welch: http://ladybunny.net/blog/

Good points Sarah - it is true they all use it. My point is they should stop using it and get more creative. A director talked to me once about how back in the day they couldn't CG lightening and so they would actually shoot electricity through wires & etc. He said it cost about 7 bucks to...

That shot on the back of the box of Kermit peeking through the curtain is strange. It doesn't look like his hands are proportionate or maybe it's more that his hands look like the facehugger from Aliens gripping the curtain. I would say hey to the NO on the CGI - I'm so over it. Yes, Henson...

For some reason I think Dr. Teeth is easier to duplicate. There is something missing from Piggy these days - it's like a low grumble/roughness - hard to explain. They're doing a good job though - i'm not complaining.

I mind about the voices. I don't know - it just irks me when they are off. Watching the new third season, I hope they don't bring back Gladys... she's awful. Has anyone noticed on the back cover that Kermit's hands are really weird. They are like CGI strange. I hope Disney doesn't CGI this...

It's fabulous! We screened Raquel Welch & Alice Cooper! So wonderful to see these episodes in all their true glory!

OMG - eat your hearts out everyone! My friend who is an editor for a well known mag is headed over to my place with the Muppet Show Season 3 - freak out! We're going to watch it on my big screen. God, I hope it's the fuzzy cover!:o

Again, there is much that is being researched and re-evaluated. Occasionally these films come out being somewhat re-invisioned against the originals. Art lends itself to being re-evaluated by the artist who comes after. Hard to explain - but every artist re-evaluates something that has...

The good news is they are in the hands of a crew that gets things made. I understand your trepidations but, I assure you they will be doing their research and trying to appeal to not only the masses but the devoted fans... The fans are a big part of this movie being a success.

Hoodwinked was hilarious - don't worry... The Fraggles are in good hands.:excited:

I wouldn't worry about the Fraggles at all - Superscooter. They hit big all over yahoo the other day - probably a number one blog and many credible sources were at the heart of it. That's big news... Frogboy - I admitted that you may be right and I hope you are. It is just that while I sit...

And why is there so little info? My experience living in Hollywood is that people site they are making films all the time but, then nothing comes from it. I would say with as much coverage and attention Segel's proposed film is getting that it's pretty much a sure thing. This other biopic...

That biopic has gotten no more mention in Hollywood. It's true that smaller companies do films all the time - but, the production company in question doesn't look like one of them. I couldn't say for sure but, from what I have seen my feeling is the likelihood of that film being made would...
