    Should I Watch "Kermit's Swamp Years?"

    I despise many things 80's, but love the Muppets and Muppet Babies. But 80's music? 80's movies? 80's television? 80's hair? 80's fashion? 80's art? 80's politics? 80's economics? 80's literature? I dislike all of the above. With a few exceptions. Quinnnnnnnnnnnnnn

    Muppets' Real Names

    I think The Count is Jewish as well...possibly just because it's fun to count the Menorah candles. It could just be the whole Eastern European Jewry thing. But my memory is synthesizing something County and Jewish. I'll work on it. Quinnnnnnnnnnn

    Did anyone else watch Muppet Babies?

    Hey Jamie, Thanks for your comments--that was a little more detailed than some of your other posts on the topic, and it's a more fair and balanced look at it. I accept it. But I still like Muppet Babies. Howie Mandel's Animal and Skeeter still make my eye twitch...

    Why We Love Scooter

    This thread's a GREAT idea! Growing up, Scooter was always my LEAST favorite character--he wasn't as visual, as funny, wacky, or scary as the other characters, and rarely got his turn to shine. It's only been in the last decade or so that I've seen how great the character was, and how much...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    I can't wait to pop Rizzo in my mouth. I may dip him in some sort of honey barbecue sauce first. Mmmmm....RAT! Quinnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

    Are there any plans to release a Muppet Babies DVD?

    Not that we've heard...but with all of the old TV shows they've been releasing lately, there's always a chance! I'd love to see some of those episodes again. Quinnnnnnnnnnn

    What size are the busts? (heh-heh.....)

    LOL---only if they do the same to buy me Gonzo! Quinnnnnnnnnnnnnn (I'll send you my quarter)

    The Muppet Beach Party Thread

    Wow. This is my LEAST favorite of any Muppet/Fraggle/Sesame Street album I own, and I have over 40 different CDs in my li'l collection. I really can't stand it. There are a few bright moments, like...uh... I guess my favorite tracks would also be Sugar Shack and Papa Oo Mow Mow or...

    Don Music

    My trampy girlfriend in highschool said that Don Music and Rowlf were two of the biggest reasons she ever started playing the piano...and she's an excellent pianist. I think the other one was Schroeder. She's was very influenceable. Quinnnnnnnnnnnn

    Did anyone else watch Muppet Babies?

    I loved it, even though I was already 12 when the cartoon started up! Great imagination, great themes, characters, and an imaginative way to continue the Muppet characters while Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and the rest were busy pursuing other things. And it gave June Cleaver a job again. I'm...

    The Best things of 2002

    Here are mine, in the order they've impacted me: 1) Palisades Action Figures 2) MasterCard Commercials 3) Very Merry Muppet Christmas 4) Weezer's Video 5) Game Show appearances 6) Macy's Promotions/Windows/Parade A very good year, all in all--here's hoping 2003 is even better...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Personally, this is my least favorite and least useful of all of the very cool accessories that come with Rizzo...I doubt I'd ever use it whether it extends or not. Quinnnnnnnnn

    What size are the busts? (heh-heh.....)

    :D My decision is...as much as I would LOVE them, I probably can't afford to do it right now. We just moved into a three-bedroom townhouse (from a one-bedroom pit), and in between that and Miles wanting clothes and food and me wanting all sorts of stuff, I'll probably put those on...

    2003 Rose Bowl Parade

    Yeah, just as I was opening my mouth to my wife that "there are way too many marching bands in this !#$!#$ parade," that one came on and they were playing the Sesame Street theme. So then I was excited. And we surfed through a few channels and found them again, and they played The Muppet...

    Byron Fan Club

    I'm guessing EITHER Funyuns OR a chloriney pool spigot would really rully rilly STING. So hopefully whatever it was with Funyuns and a pool spigot in the hot tub, he's learned his lesson. That almost sounded like a solution to "Clue." Quinnnnnnnnnn

    The sad state of Muppet Movies since Jim Henson's death

    Sam was also "bald" in the MasterCard commercials, so the rug was indeed a temporary sight gag.... Quinnnnnnnnnn

    Luke's Muppet Year In Review 2002

    Nice, Luke....if there were an emoticon for me taking off my hat to you, I'd use it now. I'll have settle for saying "great work." If only I had some gratuitous penguin naughtiness to send your way. Quinnnnnnnnnnn

    Should I Watch "Kermit's Swamp Years?"

    For the record, I'll probably end up seeing KSY. Eventually. And I liked the first few years of Muppet Babies. I think it did more good than harm in terms of character recognition and revival among Generation Y, and only animation buffs tend to notice things like 6-frame vs. 12-frame...
