    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    Well it's like Thanksgiving. Im grateful and feel blessed every day, just to be alive and have the situations I do. I think people get sidetracked or take things for granted. I say celebrate any holiday ya want. Heck I'd celebrate Ramadan, Channukkah, or Valentines day if I wanted to. I was...

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    Well we all need a positive attitude. Heck I turn 33 tuesday...I might be about as broke as can be, but Im happy. I feel like I've started a new chapter, and I feel/look younger than I did a decade ago. People need to rise up out of the stuck situation or mindset they're toiling in, and tell...

    Why isn't Kevin Clash given other roles?

    Some clips from the new theatrical documentary film "Being Elmo", about the life of Kevin Clash. Check out how professional even his early puppets were. Kevin coulda been working with JHC before he was even in middle school as far as Im concerned (various clips) http://vimeo.com/18966111

    What if the New Muppet Movie's Villain had a Muppet Sidekick?

    Well it's been pretty much established(even in tv interviews with Kermit if I am recalling correctly) that Gonzo is not really an "alien", and that the whole alien thing is purely just within the MFS script. To me it completely destroys the fun of not knowing what he is, other than some vague...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    Brilliant! Oh man, brilliant. Disney should be hiring you. I think the Muppets are at a place where they can be doing self mockery references, like Rowlf lamenting how he has to take whatever work he can get as times have been tough(Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora) Pepe coming in at the...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    From what I recall, the order in the 80's and 90's seemed to be: 1. Kermit 2. Piggy 3. Gonzo 4. Fozzie 5. Animal tho, since 1999 Animal got bumped by Pepe and Rizzo, or at least has to share the 5 spot. So to me after seeing all the online Muppet stuff(youtube, muppets.com, cora kitchen...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    Same here. Though sometimes the more minor characters have a "breakout" moment of cult favorite status, or the "boba fett" effect. like Beaker and Chef. I agree tho, I love me some Lew Zealand, Luncheon Counter, Droop, etc. Notice though, how more recently Beau has been featured more prominently...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    I agree. In fact I'll just say it: Pepe was the best thing to come out of the post JH era. And I even feel Pepe was the saving grace to a lot of otherwise so-so Muppet productions. From 1999 til 2010, both JHC and Disney built Pepe up to be one of the MAIN 5 characters, right next to Kermit...

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    Mcdonalds always had the best Disney toys. From that one 90's line that had action figures from every concievable silver and golden age Disney animated movie/short, to the great Monsters Inc toyline. Im sure youre aware of the insane amount of Muppet related food tieins that occurred between the...

    Something that's really kinda bugged me about the Muppet/Fraggle comics

    Btw DW, didnt you once draw yourself like Robert Smith of the Cure? Aw, told ya I have a good memory:) Also, I have to give you props by keeping it 1998 old school with the Webtv thing. I actually almost exclusively posted on the old 98-99 Delphi forums via a Webtv at Sears. You know, the...

    Something that's really kinda bugged me about the Muppet/Fraggle comics

    Preach it DW! I love how you aren't afraid to say what's on your mind. A little background, I've been trying to break into the American indie comic book scene since the early 1990's. For most of the early to mid 90's, and even latter 90's I was always submitting work to companies. I was...

    The Muppets’ Super Bowl: The Best Muppet Commercials of All Time

    2003 Muppets Mastercard commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GA1KpwnZF0 When I saw this on a big screen before a movie, I felt the kind of awe from seeing the Muppets on screen I hadn't felt since MTM. The Muppets look brilliant filmed on real world NYC locations. Of course, I also...

    Theories why Bear came to an end

    I think the problem people have with tv now, especially the young, is that it's a passive entertainment. It's not interactive. Sure movies are too, but it feels like youre in on a journey. Yes, having everything all rolled into one is a bit dizzyingand I'm a bit too poor to afford it all...but...

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    A lot of fans felt(from reading reviews/message forums), it seemed, that the Turtles Forever movie was a big middle finger to the 80's TMNT(or "turtles88") And indeed, it did feel like while they went out of their way to painstakingly recreate the look of the animation and painted buildings...

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    Theories why Bear came to an end

    You just have to adapt, lest you can invent a time machine or make your own cartoons. I just put all the episodes of Young Justice, Generation Rex, TF Prime and GI Joe Renegades in HD on dvdrs to watch at my leisure. All look amazing, no commercials, etc. There is no free tv anymore really. I...

    Fraggle Rock comics - round 2!

    High five man:) It seems there is not many Fraggle Rock animated fans, but I for one absolutely love it. I was estatic that all the episodes were released on dvd in one package. As ya said, unlike movie adaptions this sort of stuff is simply new adventures and side stories to be told.

    Fraggle Rock comics - round 2!

    While people are understandably bummed about the situation with Boom!'s muppet line, I was blown the heck away by vol 2 of the Fraggle Rock series. In fact I have to say I'm liking this even more than the first volume(as much as I loved that) Also for those who haven't yet, GET the collected...

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    I wasnt allowed to watch GI Joe because my parents believed it to be pro war propaganda. Which I heavily agree with, but some of the animation reminds me of the quasi anime style of G1 transformers. I LOVVVVED Sigma Six(I have the dvds), and I liked the GI Joe Resolute anime film. Gi Joe...

    Theories why Bear came to an end

    Dr Tooth: saturday morning cartoon routines and culture died a long time ago. Sure CW Kids kept it going with the 4Kids stuff, but it's dead. I primarily count free channel kids cartoons, but given you now have to have a converter box(which often doesnt half work)...people like me who refuse to...
