    Just Imagine A Poster Print Of This...

    http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/File:Mural.JPG First time I've seen a sharp image of this, just breathtaking. What Muppet/Henson fan *wouldn't* want this? Everything from Muppets to Sesame to Fraggle Rock to creature shop is represented...even the Mighty Favog! :scary:

    More evidence that older Skeeter has been considered official non Muppet Babies canon! Carl Jr's 1992 happy meal bag illustration: http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/File:Paradeofstarsbag.JPG

    Why Did Disney Abandon The Bear Franchise?

    I don't believe Disney truly realized just how much parents and young ones alike loved Bear in the Big Blue House. The moment I saw it on cable in 1997 I knew the Jim Henson Company not only had something special, but a rightful successor to Fraggle Rock(as far as a third tentpole...

    Petition For Disney To Release Muppets @ WDW & MT

    Was wondering if anyone out there wanted to start a petition to get Disney to release the amazing 1990 special Muppets At Walt Disney World and Muppets Tonight on dvd? I can't think of any reason why Disney wouldn't release either, especially since both were specifically done in concert with...

    Can Lions Gate Release Muppet Television?(JHH)

    I was amazed that Lions Gate, out of nowhere, decided to release the two Jim Henson Hour (non creature shop) specials Dog City and Song of the Cloud Forest. Dog City even features Rowlf the Dog on the cover, even though it's a post Disney buyout era. Storyteller of course had previously been...

    UK: Disney.co.uk - Muppets.com!

    I noticed with realplayer capture I can grab all the intros, red buzzer clips(which are in blu ray 1080 quality), and even the Muppet Newsflash module stuff. But has anyone found a way to record/capture the actual skits on there? I so would love to have the elevator tapes, the darn site is...

    My Massive Muppet Video Collection

    I had been tape trading Muppet/Henson related stuff since the 1990's, but I gotta say...gosh bless youtube, video.google, torrent sites and various other places. Been able to find good quality copies of virtually everything I ever wanted, including so much stuff I never knew existed. Though...

    Best Quality Muppet Vision 3D on youtube!

    While I had the opportunity to see Muppet Vision 3d finally(at Disneyland in Anaheim CA a few years ago) many of you don't have the luxury to go to Disneyland or WDW. So out of curiosity, I happened to find the absolute best(filmed in HD) capturing of Muppet Vision 3D and the entire pre show...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    I love em both, BUT who is the person who does the Snow White art/coloing? I dont like classic retellings, but I got all those issues based on the art alone. Wowzas. Also, I wonder how one applies to do art for Boom, as I think I could do some rather good Muppet stuff (my latest art)...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    I respectfully disagree. It was BECAUSE I saw scans of the Muppet show comics that I aggressively sought them out, even when they were sold out. I dont just buy anything Muppet related, I have to feel a connection. So seeing a number of pages prompted me to buy the comics. You cant hold jpgs in...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Or, you can just read the whole issue at the comic store. I've done that with some of the Muppet spinoff issues I didnt want to buy(like the classic story telling) Hey, Im just being honest! Btw, Web.tv still exists? I totally remember logging onto Muppet Central and the old Delphi forums in...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Oh I'd be all about downloading comics if I didn't hate reading PDF's or pritned jpgs with a passion. And I prefer to read with something in my hand on paper. Otherwise, Im all about downloading endless gigs of movies, music, programs, books, etc a month:) Also, unless they were pure digital...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Oh I loved the Skeeter inclusion, especially that she was given a more modern Hot Topic youth look. But yeah, how come they don't have you doing the coloring? I personally would have liked that a lot more(Im big into strong colors) Btw, is there a Pepe embargo? I dont think Ive seen him...

    Why does Muppet fandom seem so underground?

    Im glad there was a bit of Beaker, Swedish Chef and Pepe merchandise in that little 2002-2004 period. But yeah, Kermit and especially Animal seem to dominate as has usually been the case. Though, it was the same way in the 1989-1998 period as well when I was collecting. (tho I did love...

    Man, and I thought I had the benjamin button disease...you look like you could be a classmate of Justin Bieber. Hi five for fountain of youth:p Btw, is the toy store still open? As I went by the mel's diner location and didnt see it. I gotta thank ya for turning me onto those vinylmations...

    Sharing the Muppets with your children

    Ive noticed that even my pets(especially my birds) LOVE the Muppets. They start happily chirping away when Sesame gets put on tv or if I have a Muppet dvd on.

    Why does Muppet fandom seem so underground?

    Oh bro you are SO right on. Yeah same here, a BIG part of going to any con, anime or comic related for me; is meeting artists in the artist alley. I usually come up with huge bag of business cards, sketches, zines, home made comics, etc. I spend more money on that stuff than I do in the dealer...

    My attempt at Muppet Customs

    Oh cool. Did you ever see REM on Sesame Street with monsters performing "Shiny Happy Monsters", or the spoof of Devo on Muppets Tonight? Im excited, finally get to see LCD Soundsystem(theyre headling the Treasure Island Music Fest in San Francisco) Its funny they keep headlining major fests...

    Why does Muppet fandom seem so underground?

    Yeah but there's degrees to it. I mean, 1200 people showed up to Muppetfest, at a time when the Muppets really didn't have much visibility and it was the middle of that EM.TV fiasco. There's a certain awe brought over 1 year olds to elderly when it comes to the magic of the Muppets. And that is...
