    The Muppet Mindset

    I wish Disney would fix Muppets.com. It's always tweaky and useless on my home computer. I'll have to watch it somewhere else. (It's not a Flash issue, just a poor embedding issue with the streaming.) :sympathy: Still, yay for new content!

    Serious MuppetCast Poll

    Loading speeds and clip lengths to be problematic in my general experience so I kind of wait to hear the buzz about episodes before listening to them...usually in the toyshop where I work weekends. It's fitting for that. I'm mainly interested in special guests, but there's no immediacy in...

    eFX's Rizzo Thread

    I guess Wondercon in a few weeks or D23 in a couple months will be the final test of Rizzo's viablility. :shifty:

    Muppet Show Season 4 coming in 2013

    The little bits I've heard (that could be wrong) indicate that Disney is leaking trickles of Muppet items here and there leading up to a heavier push around promotion of the new Muppet film. I'm thinking we might still get season 4 later this year. DVD sales are really terrible right now. It's...

    eFX's Rizzo Thread

    I've stopped saving money for this in order to invest in things right here and now. There's no reason to put my life on hold in this challenging economy. I do feel Rizzo could eventually come out, but I'm quite underwhelmed by the lack of information from EFX. They could be silent because they...

    New Henson GSN show: Late Night Liars

    I so want this to be funnier, but I'm just not getting into it. I'm fine with racy material, but it's just not up to the clever standards of the Henson legacy (adult division or not). Puppet Up and Stuffed & Unstrung seemed to have the magic these clips seem to be lacking. I keep hoping to see a...

    Is there an overrated/underrated Muppet production?

    I think you're being overly sensitive. He said nothing about picking on Miley due to her age. We all have different tastes and yours happen to differ from his. Let's leave it at that. For some reason it seems you might be the member who created this same argument here, at ToughPigs and over at...

    The Muppet Mindset

    I kind of wonder they were just pitching Muppet things at D23 to see what would stick. I still think they should have gone for the Halloween special. The cooking show was always a little silly to me and Henson's new game show is kind of doing that sort of thing. I also don't think they should be...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    That's what I'm thinking and hoping. :)

    Is there an overrated/underrated Muppet production?

    Over: Personally, I never thought the Muppet Babies lived up to their hype or the quality usually associated with the Muppet brand. The program had its moments and great potential, but some of the shrill voices and poor animation quality caused me to lose interest during its second season. I...

    Amanda Bynes is "retired" from acting at 24.

    There's also maintaining the quality of her brand. At one time her name was popular to young people and it might be best to just retaire and let residuals of earlier, more successful projects roll in rather than watering down her image with sub-standard new productions. I'm sure if something...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    Could be, but it appears that both Henson and Disney have wanted to keep up the illusion of it being NY over the years.

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    Even though the Muppet Show was shot in England and Muppets Tonight was shot in Burbank, they both appeared to have taken place in either New York. If not the city, then Brooklyn. Both have that intentional vibe.

    Amanda Bynes is "retired" from acting at 24.

    I find it odd too. Maybe she wasn't getting the roles that she wanted. She's not the greatest talent, but she does have a unique screen presence and a likability factor. I've always enjoyed her. This could be temporary or it could be a stunt to get somebody to create a project for her. Her...

    Official Muppet Scale/Chart?

    That is an accurate size chart. Of course, the Muppets are "cheated out" with one another and their human guest star counterparts so that they are appealingly framed. Animal IS that tall, however he crouches over. He's jumping in that shot so his legs are fully extended. Most Muppets are...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    Twilight is basically the Dawson's Creek of vampire movies. There's a market for that sort of thing and I don't think it harms vamp-cred. It's the planned film "reboot" of Buffy without any of its stars or creator that's upsetting me. Hope that never happens. Hmmm. Save a theater in Los...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    The basic cast of Segel and the Muppets is in place, but cameos tend to be a different matter and can sometimes happen spontaneously. Since this is being shot in LA I think a lot of stars will be available and who wouldn't like to be in a Muppet movie? The question I have is if this film is...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    The Muppet Shows advertised guest stars as the reason to watch each week, but I didn't say they should beg stars or market them as the reason to go. I don't think that cameos should be the reason to go to a movie, but a few key inclusions woven into a killer preview will encourage people of all...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    I find both Twilight and Tru Blood to be self-indulgent soap operas starring very pretty, very boring people in a plot where nothing that interesting really happens. But nobody ruined vampires. The vampire persona has been around for centuries and exploited countless different ways and will be...

    Mongrels on BBC 3

    Think I saw you under a cat. :o Great clips! I hope this show finds a home on cable here too. So are the voices of the puppets swapped out for comedians or how does that all work? Marian the cat and the pigeon are my favorite designs so far.:super:
