    Rumor: Muppets Stage Show

    They'd be actual Muppets, and live recordings...however due to the extensive schedule and performances needed by Whitmire and company, as fans we would have to understand the need for other people performing the characters. Disney does it with the Cruise shows and other Muppet performances...

    Rumor: Muppets Stage Show

    So would I...as well as the 2002 Fox show pitch, the single camera mockumentary pilots, and the American Idol spoof. Though not holding my breath on any of those.

    Rumor: Muppets Stage Show

    Broadway shows, and even off broadway/retooling stage musicals and plays are never ever released on dvd. You basically either have to fly to NYC and see it or wait for a theatrical film(or try and find a camcorder bootleg online...I found one of Book of Mormon and Avenue Q) Muppets on Broadway...

    Will there be a proper Disney Muppet figure line?

    I am seriously A-OK with endless Kermit and Animal, as long as a few of the non main 5 sneak in there. I was quite pleased with the advent of the Walter plush. And as I mentioned, I feel the Toys R Us Muppet plushes are some of the best Muppet plushes I've ever seen. By the way, JV, what's...

    Will there be a proper Disney Muppet figure line?

    I believe in giving many chances depending on the situation. For many years Disney simply just sat on their Muppet purchase. Heck I was beginning to think the Muppets would become like Bear in the Big Blue House and simply tucked away. I didn't even believe there was going to be a "new Muppet...

    Will there be a proper Disney Muppet figure line?

    Drtooth: The Jazwares Nick line got cancelled? What? I mean yeah I saw the figures discounted to $5 at TRU. But dang. I really liked these. It makes me sad Rocko wasnt included in the line(like there wasnt already a zillion Rugrats toys from the 90s) as now we probably will never get to see...

    Why Is Sesame Street Such A Controversial Lightning Rod?

    The 50's(at least from photos and footage) looked AMAZING. I can't think of any time America just "popped" for the visual senses. Even the 20's, 30's and 40's looked amazing. Maybe it's because I was raised in the 1980's where 1950's kitch and style was popularly mined, but from the colors and...

    Why Is Sesame Street Such A Controversial Lightning Rod?

    This is a very very interesting point. We definitely seem to be in this strange parallel universe where things got super "safe", yet other things got unsafe. For instance, in many many many PG kids and family films of the 1980s, you could have endless swearing(including the F word) Yet now, PG...

    Petition for Skeeter in The Muppets... Again!

    But why does Skeeter have to reflect or pay tribute to Muppet Babies? Why can't she just be her own thing? It'd be a high school/college aged version. I mean heck, there's a few things from Muppet babies that crossed over into live action Muppet productions and noone took issue with it.

    Petition for Skeeter in The Muppets... Again!

    I've long felt the Muppets need a teenage Skeeter. Who the heck cares if Muppet Babies is canonical. Also that Puppt is gorgeous! Wow...Who made that? The Muppets have LONG had a female problem. Meaning lack of gender diversity. Miss Piggy alone shouldn't be the end all be all standard bearer...

    "Muppets...Again" officially retitled to "Muppets Most Wanted"

    Given the film does not come out til March of 2014, I wouldnt expect any trailers soon. Maybe a teaser during the August kid film dump, but who knows. I still can't get over how expansive the Muppets 2011 film advertising was!

    "Muppets...Again" officially retitled to "Muppets Most Wanted"

    Exactly. Pepe on Craig Fergusson=canon. Pepe in Muppets From Space=not canon. I think there's a loose cannon that threads most Muppet productions together. Kermit is from the swamp, has an on again off again relationship with Piggy, and Gonzo doesnt know what he is. Though that runs in with...

    "Muppets...Again" officially retitled to "Muppets Most Wanted"

    But they're not canon. It's meant as more meta. As Ive pointed out there is no Muppet canon aside from what the Muppets say in interviews, as they are just actors. The past movies in The Muppets are acknowledged as film work the Muppets have done. Actually the first original films felt way more...

    Muppet Star Wars figures

    Unfortunately, $42 is the cheapest they come http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC2.A0.Xmuppets+star+wars+uncle&_nkw=muppets+star+wars+uncle&_sacat=0&_from=R40

    Will there be a proper Disney Muppet figure line?

    What is that new Looney Tunes line with the weird big elongated dialated pupil eyes? I love those pvcs! Had to pick up a few and I dont even know what line its from. Its funny as I see some small pvc figures cost close to $10 each. Talk about inflation! All I know is 27 years after his debut...

    Will there be a proper Disney Muppet figure line?

    I've always believed that!:) I still regret the massive headache "fans" caused Ken. Though maybe for creative or quality control purposes every groan and nitpicking comment needed to be heard? I think fans were not used to for the first time in their life a company had a direct line and working...

    Will there be a proper Disney Muppet figure line?

    Oh no doubt the Palisades line, from the tease of 2001 when Ken first appeared on the Delphi Muppet Central forums til the last figure came out in 2005, it was one of THE most transformitive moments in modern Muppet/Jim Henson history. Way bigger than any special made in the 2000's. There is no...
