    ABC News Video: Jason Segel, Muppet Savior

    Im probably more poor than anyone on here, but I still pick up things if I have to have it. I dont buy merchandise that much, so its easier to afford smaller things. What other shout nick stuff came out besides Rocko? I snagged that up the second it was released and cant wait for season 2. I...

    ABC News Video: Jason Segel, Muppet Savior

    Stores are charging up to $15 for small plushes, like Angry Birds. In fact most stores are selling little small Angry Birds figurines for 9.99 and plushes for up to 13-15. Its ridiculous. The price of everything is going through the roof. Like action figures. Action figures are now dinky...

    Muppets cast and crew interviews

    Oh good, these are gems and sadly the original files posted were messed up. I swear, rewatching Walter's interview...I don't know if Linz is using MC as material or actually making fun of when we harp and whine on a certain topic(myself included) Either way I loved it. First time I've seen a...

    Google Hangout with the Muppets

    Wait the whole thing was recorded or is that 24:04 video just the live stream link? Did anyone manage to snag this?(Muppetmusings?) Some of us have jobs, so not easy to be on the internet at 3pm

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    Maybe I just need to watch HIMYM from the beginning, as Ive seen a couple random episodes and it kind of irked me. Not Jason or the other guy, to me those are golden moments. I LOVE CBS for keeping the sitcom alive tho! What do you think of 2 Broke girls? I still cant get into Mike and Molly...

    Will Walter become the new Pepe?

    If I was the artist I woulda been sneaking in all sorts of cameos, even if it was just vague sillohette. I woulda put in Digit, Ploobis, Scred, Leon, etc Ha, I remember La Choy dragon! That was so random for her to put that in there, even most diehard muppet fans may not know about that. Im all...

    Mid 90's Toons! (Tick, Rockos, Eek the Cat, Critic, Catdog, Family Dog)

    Well to me the absolute most magical cartoon period was 84-89 with Alf animated(LOVVVE that show), Rude Dog, Mighty Orbots, Kid Video, Wuzzles, Tiger Sharks, Silverhawks, Ed Grimley, Muppet Babies, Fraggle Rock, COPS, Gummy Bears, Ducktales, and all those super hero cartoons like Centurions that...

    EW says lots of Muppet merch coming

    Well you know my thoughts on Cars, Smurfs, cgi over live action films, Shrek, and most of these cgi kids films...so Ill leave it at that. But what I can more than agree on is the T:S figures(now at all dollar stores, as we predicted) Never in the 30+ years Ive been collecting toys have I ever...

    The Muppets (2011) Movie News

    found it! the videos seem screwed up sync wise, but i got the gist of it. http://www.upcoming-movies.com/Movies/the-muppets-walter-interview/ I love the homage/spoof of all the people obsessively whining about seasons 4 and 5, the nods to palisades figure collecting and of course referencing...

    EW says lots of Muppet merch coming

    Im totally jealous of Frogboy's Kermit shoes, so Im more than estatic to get a Kermit sneaker! But yeah, I too was thinking the Muppet movie, which is not a holiday feeling sort of film, is getting a holiday release...which means merchandise tidal wave. So far there's hardly any...

    ABC News Video: Jason Segel, Muppet Savior

    I wish there was a flickr or page that documented all photos of Muppet billboard, cab and bus signs:) Ill be in san francisco this weekend, cant wait to see all the ads. I knew the media marketing saturation would come, didnt realize theyd wait til right before the film I understand and...

    The Muppets (2011) Movie News

    Where is the walter interview? Also I just wish THIS level of hardcore online fandom made it into the movie. Like the stuff only the super nerds on MC would get:) But still, good seeing Linz doing this fan service AND the Pepe saturation. I guess Diz is making up for lack of Pepe in the actual...

    Mid 90's Toons! (Tick, Rockos, Eek the Cat, Critic, Catdog, Family Dog)

    As much as I always am quick to declare my love of 80's cartoons(kid video, muppet babies, alf, cops, mighty orbots, transformers, etc) I have a particular love of a lot of the cartoons between 1992 and 1996 on tv. Nacho And Dog circa 1995-1997 I finally tracked down all the videos of the Taco...

    Favorite non-Henson puppet shows growing up

    Wow, surprised I never heard of Under the Umbrella Tree! Total precursor to Bear in the Big Blue House it seems. Um, what is a "Canadian accent"? I've heard people say this all my life, but what is it? Every Canadian Ive met or heard on tv sounds like a Californian or non-accented American...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets on WWE Raw SuperShow October 31

    @SPCGlider: I agree...ultimately, it just makes no sense to have the Muppets(which are puppets...even as a toddler I knew they were puppets performed by people) interacting with pro wrestlers...even tho the entire "illusion" is completely gone. When Vince Russo came out and confronted Kevin...

    What if the new movie's DVD contained a bonus disc of existing material?

    Yeah I could give a flip about 60" LED tvs. Too bright, hurts my eyes. Looks good for 360 and ps3 of course, and maybe its sour grapes because im indigent-core poor. But I just prefer 2000-2003 era "flat" tvs, which were tvs that came out after black CRT tvs of the 80s and 90s and right before...

    Will Walter become the new Pepe?

    @minor: If you look at the merchandise of the latter 80's through all of the 90's, and even into the 2000's Animal is used as one of the main core. In fact at times, Animal tends to overshadow even Kermit. Within the show and movies, he was always part of the Electric Mayhem and not part of the...

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    The reason I have such venom toward "Whitney" is because the character is just like every single spoiled skinny girl or woman I've met who thinks the world(and guys) revolve around her and thinks everything she does(including bodily functions) is "cute"...and that she can get by on her looks...

    The Muppets on the Cover of EW

    I never realized that...just how over reachingly kind Whitemire Kermit is. The replacement performance portrayal of Fozzie, Piggy and Animal to me seems almost 100% authentic to Oz. But Kermit has become so docile and gentle, that you kind of miss the days of arms flipping out frustrated Kermit...

    Something I don't get about the Muppet Theater

    I didn't realize this as a child, but the Muppets have no actual "canon", continuity or storyline. No movie is related to eachother, even if now and then a special will reference something from a movie. See, in the new film they acknowledge all previous films/shows/specials as simply stuff the...
