    What if Fraggle Rock could have been seen by all?

    What if instead of just the lucky few who could afford HBO on top of cable; every kid in America could have had the chance to see Fraggle Rock?

    The Magic Of The 1987-1990 Era

    As per our annual tradition, my family and I watched a lot of late 80's Muppet specials and episodes for Christmas eve/day. And I was wondering if anyone else feels there's a certain special magic about the gang in the 1987-1990 period, right before JH's passing? As I know this may be...

    Why Did Boom! Change Their Paper?

    I really don't mean to nitpick, as it's amazing to walk into any comic store and see a whole mess of Muppet titles that have come out in the last year. But something that's kind of bugged me is how Boom switched from the standard slick glossy pages to a kind of rough course paper where it...

    Has Disney Redeemed Themselves?

    For many years, the mere mention of Disney would make a lot of fanboys(of any stripe) cringe. But I don't know...between Tron 2 coming up and their hype around that, bringing forth Pixar's most astonishing films to date(like the recent Up), bringing back beautiful 2d(Princess and the Frog)...

    What are some of the most annoying wrong names, misconceptions, etc people say when it comes to the Muppets? (this may sound like elitism and whining, but I thought it'd be fun) For me... * Muppets are "baby/kids" stuff. Ooof. The Muppet Babies, which isn't canon in the least, hasn't...

    Muppets And 30 Rock

    Is it me or is there some sort of re-occurring theme going on between the Muppets and 30 Rock? First I saw a great spoof of 30 Rock on Sesame Street: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vxv7qi3BJI But then I started noticing a number of scenes here or there on 30 rock where some of the...

    Jim Hill: Muppets Officially Back

    Top Muppet DVD's Disney Needs To Release

    Not sure how well petitions work(tho the one Warrick got rolling with Fraggle Rock worked...I see Fraggle Rock dvds prominently sold at Target, Walmart, FYE, Suncaost and Best Buy) For most of you here, this will be a no brainer list. But I thought it bears(pun intended) repeating: Disney...

    What would happen if Sesame Workshop retired Elmo?

    Let me preface this by saying Kevin Clash's craft is absolutely astonishing, and I'm glad I got to meet him. But I'm just going to say what I'm sure many of you already feel. And that's that "Elmo" is a worthless, valueless, distracting character who I know at least with me evokes a sickening...
