    Muppet Comics Cancelled?

    Is it confirmed that Disney stopped the Boom Muppet comics, only to release random issues bundled in anthology kiddy magazines? It'd be one thing if these were *actual* magazines that features some comic pages. Goodness knows I've been wishing for a Muppet magazine for over 20 years. I'm...

    Paging Dr Tooth: The film you were totally looking forward to(or not) "Gnomeo And Juliet" had once again taken the top spot in its third week of release: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/41810181/ns/today-entertainment/ Eeeps!

    Seven Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    I just turned 33...and strangely, I feel ever more a strong connection and interest to things I grew up with as a child. I've been able to table my modern grown up responsibilities and needs with a sort of kinship toward various things that inspired me as a child. So while I feel a thousand...

    Theories why Bear came to an end

    I got rid of cable in 1998, and have never had the urge to get it since. I rarely, if ever watch tv and prefer instead to watch favorite shows in season box sets or download episodes(or stream em online) I did max out a card to get a top of the line computer when my old one died, but partly...

    The Bible and Love and Christians

    The subjegation of women in Abrahamic faiths, at least in the culture and code created by men, is worrisome. From the diminished role of women in many branches of Christian faiths, to the Islamic world to Judaism...women are pretty much still the n-word of the world. So I do see women and...

    The Bible and Love and Christians

    After seeing the great documentary "A Man From Plains", I definitely have a new respect for Jimmy Carter. He seems like a real Christian to me. He helps build homes for people, speaks out on oppression(even when its politically harmful), helps out at his local church, etc. People malign him for...

    The Bible and Love and Christians

    I honestly believe the "sin" regarding homosexuality as espoused in the scriptures is regarding the kind of behavior seen in say, late 70's New York City's gay scene. Even a lot of veteran gay rights activists will say that whole scene lead to a lot of early graves. I'm with Frogboy in the...

    What are your thoughts on Facebook?

    Myspace is dead. They might as well just close the site. At this point, virtually everyone not living off the grid is on facebook. to me it's like having a phone, I don't even see it as an optional or feasible choice to not have one. If you have friends, family or associates you need a...

    Seven Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    Bieber is the Elmo of the pop world(ie: all over the place and annoying) I don't ever watch tv and I can't go anywhere online or shopping without hearing or seeing him. I honestly don't think too many follow what pop idols say, be it positive or negative. Unless it's the Dixie Chicks circa...

    Seven Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    You guys see the genius of Jim Henson and his legacy. So many Christian churches use puppets pretty much patterned off the classic Muppet look. The LGBT community can find great anchoring and celebration within many things Muppety and Henson. In 1969 Sesame Street said to America: This is the...

    Hasbro's Sesame line to be unveiled at Toy Fare

    Yeah Fisher Price just sucked. Period. Why was it in their short licence span, Tyco was able to deliver a wealth of great Sesame products(they even made a Martian figure! And a sweet anniversary pvc set) No reason why we can't have 4" poseable action figures of an endless array of Sesame...

    Hasbro's Sesame line to be unveiled at Toy Fare

    Kevin Clash is simply a master when it comes to improv in a live setting. It's simply uncanny. And it's so great to see so much Cookie...from Colbert and Rocket Boom to SNL and that chef show the other night

    Hasbro's Sesame line to be unveiled at Toy Fare

    *faints* A Murray figure AND a Murray plush. I'm in heaven:) This definitely helps balance out the disgust I feel regarding how virtually all Fisher Price stuff was the same gosh awful infant stuff.

    Seven Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    Isn't Crazy Harry a Muslim? Oh I kid, I kid. I'm not sure what the message of Disney films are, I just see it as pretty solid entertainment with adventure. Never notice dany Christian themes, But that's my take. And that's the great thing about being able to infer interpretations from things...

    Seven Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    To clarify, while Jim in his final few years felt Disney was the best new home for the Muppets, his sudden passing ended the possibility of a buyout with Disney due to various reasons. However 1990 also saw the beginning of a Disney partnership with the Muppets that has continued all the way to...

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    Seriously. The Diz really needs to run loose with the whole meta-viral-tiein to the movie and get some buzz going. There's not ONE teaser, poster, or anything and this thing comes out in only 9 months. Most Diz films we see a teaser over a year(sometimes two) in advance. Hopefully they...

    Seven Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    "The Muppets" is Disney's main fall tentpole film, like Tangled last year. No reason they'd can it at the last moment, though I realize we as Muppet fans have "fool me once/let down" syndrome. Also, of course "Jim Henson's" name would be taken off products. That signature belongs to JHC...

    Any Muppet news from Toy Fair 2011?

    Yeah Im not worried. Notice Toy Fair hardly had any Disney stuff. Perhaps they simply release their warez with no fanfare, or unveiled at a later time. Thank goodness Hasbro will now be releasing Sesame stuff, at LEAST there's a chance of somewhat cool collector stuff(not counting Hot Topic...
