    Their photo section under news. It's under Guest photos. Takes some clicking, but the photo I'm talking about is the last one in that set. :excited:

    New Fraggle Rock Clothing Line coming!

    It made my night seeing Allison Janney holding a new Gobo plush. The Fraggle Five are now all together again in plush form! And I totally want that van! :coy:

    Whoopi Goldberg should not be invited to be on another Muppet special IMO.

    I somehow found a way to stay wired-into pop culture without knowing who Jon and Kate were until it was old-hat to the rest of the country. I'm proud of that. Thanks for that. Yeah, I guess that's all that's being said. I don't think some religious folk understand just how condescending and...

    Whoopi Goldberg should not be invited to be on another Muppet special IMO.

    It's all about who benefits. We live in a climate where Tiger Woods' domestic turbulence takes national news precedence over our troops in Afghanistan. It gets kind of gross.

    Whoopi Goldberg should not be invited to be on another Muppet special IMO.

    ...like Jesus ignored/neglected mentioning gays in his over three recorded decades on the planet. I won't go into that can of worms except to say...I don't need to hear any anti-gay speak from Christians here framed in the Bible or any other mindset. Keep that to yourself! I really mean that. It...

    Whoopi Goldberg should not be invited to be on another Muppet special IMO.

    This all stems from the initial case of Polanski. A few facts about him... Polanski is a French-born and resident Polish film director, producer, writer and actor. He has been nominated and won several awards for film excellence including a 2002 Oscar win for the Holocaust drama "The...

    Win the Ultimate Muppet Whatnot Workshop Experience!

    Well, then waiting for the last several hours is probably best and acceptible. I just never understood the early heated bidding when there's so much time left.

    Win the Ultimate Muppet Whatnot Workshop Experience!

    Aren't you supposed to wait until the final hour on those things and then pounce?

    Whoopi Goldberg should not be invited to be on another Muppet special IMO.

    That's what's wrong with modern culture. We hear a few sound bites between fast food ads and make serious judgments based on them. It's hard not to do so. It should take more than a few out of context off-the-cuff comments to totally excommunicate an entertainer from your patronage. Whoopi...

    New Video: Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody!

    How could I have missed the penguins? :zany: I was working in the shop while writing up the list. Man, I still can't believe I left off the penguins.

    New Video: Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody!

    They're counted down on the list.

    Whoopi Goldberg should not be invited to be on another Muppet special IMO.

    I've read all of her comments on the topic. Whoopi apologized later and reported that she was clarifying exactly what the charge was and not excusing the behavior. Saying you wouldn't let her around children is funky and seems to be more rooted in an experience external to anything Whoopi or...

    Whoopi Goldberg should not be invited to be on another Muppet special IMO.

    I think your extreme conclusion is just as dangerous as Whoopi's idiotic ramblings about semantics of the situation decades past. She’s known for putting her foot in her mouth at times, but she’s also known for her philanthropic dedication to charities of all sorts including ones that benefit...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets on NBC's Christmas in Rockefeller Center

    Fans don't object to the stand-ins filling the puppets when a performer is otherwise engaged. Filling in for the actual performance of speaking lines and promoting an event as being the genuine Muppet article when that isn't the case is where most fans object. Vogel and all the performers did a...

    Home page redirects

    Half of the computers I've used require the user to type in the "www"s in order to activate the Flash menu. I'm not sure what causes this or how to fix it, but it hasn't always been the case. The swf source file should work fine so it's definitely the embed. Can this be resolved? There are many...

    A thought on the use of the word "comeback"

    A film is never done until it's in the can and the reels (digital or traditional) are on the way to the cineplex. That said... Disney has spent much of 2009 (and some of 2008) putting forth steady drumbeat of Muppety goodness in pop culture. They're setting the stage for opportunity for this...

    Hasbro and Sesame Street workshop joining forces ?

    Well, they'll get more product on shelves. The quality won't be the best, but the products will have mainstream industry standards. I'd expect a line of low-articulation action figures in the future. We'll never get the Palisades stuff, but we can still get something cool. I'd expect 100...

    We need to see Dark Crystal action figures!

    I agree with you 100% on that. It's the funniest thing hearing collectors try to defend those dolls. I feel the sluggish initial sales of those Gelfling dolls are responsible for curbing retail interest in DC merchandise. I'm glad that seems to be changing. People really respond to the Neca...

    Death at a Funeral - Remake Already?

    Death wasn't really a flop, it was a well-made indie picture made for under $10M. It broke even in the US for the brief time it played, but fared better overseas. I remember Oz saying he wanted to get back into filmmaking (after the horrible Stepford experience) with a modest-scale picture. The...

    Death at a Funeral - Remake Already?

    Yup. Apparently the Frank Oz original film wasn't American enough that they've got to dumb it down with Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence. However, the dwarf is the same as the one used in the Oz helmed picture. Of course this film will be a classic from Neil LaBute - the same director who...
