    Little things we've noticed

    I just finished watching It's a Very Merry Muppets Christmas Movie on DVD, and it suddenly dawned upon me: Disney's The Muppets (2011) and IaVMMCM have very similar storylines: The Muppets are trying to save the theater, and the Muppet Theater is in jeopardy of falling into the hands of greedy...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    This movie is such an uber-dud, it even makes Ishtar (one of the most notorious financial box-office flops) look good and enjoyable.... I just decided to coin a new slang term for it: "limburger", because it's so cheesy, and it stinks so far into outer space, that Martians would get sick from...

    Unspoken Rules of Muppetdom

    Strange how it remotely sounds a little like a Muppet parallel of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, since they wanted to wait for a time when more legal recognition was granted for other "alternative relationships"......

    What are your stories?

    I guess some of my earlier Muppet memories include Sesame Street from my now-distant toddler years, and then the Muppet Show, Muppet Babies, Fraggle Rock, as well as Muppet movies on cable.... When I started watching The Muppets (2011) on DVD, it sort of revived my "inner Muppet", and I...

    New Members: Please Post and Introduce Yourself

    Hi there, I'm snichols1973 and I'm from Oklahoma. I joined in September 2012, and when I started watching The Muppets (2011) on DVD, it re-awakened my "inner Muppet" and I began to seek out other movies to re-discover the comedy of the Muppets and start my Muppet DVD collection, which includes...

    "The Muppets": One Year Later

    I've noticed that in the lower right hand corner between Camilla and the bluebird (at about 0:41 in the clip and from 1:00 to 1:08 in the Muppet cast gallery before Gonzo's trumpet gag) is a blue-faced Muppet who has a grandmotherly appearance. Is she a member of Geri and the Atrics?

    "The Muppets": One Year Later

    This tagline from The Muppets DVD pretty much sums it up for those of us who rediscovered the laughter: "Even if you weren't a Muppets fan, you will become one after this movie" --Kevin McCarthy, CBS Radio

    Misheard Song Lyrics

    Back when I was younger, I used to think that The Gentrys' "Keep On Dancing" said "Keep on dancin' in a frying pan", until I found out later on that the actual lyric is "Keep on dancin' and a-prancin'... "

    Misheard Song Lyrics

    The actual lyrics: "Michelle, ma belle, sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble, très bien ensemble..." The words are the French equivalent of "These are words that go together well, my Michelle...", which occurs early in the song. Another term for misheard lyrics is a "mondegreen"...

    What is your least favorite Muppet Movie?

    In MFS, Gonzo is the central character, and it seems to feature a number of Muppets from Muppets Tonight, such as Johnny Fiama, Sal Minella, Clifford, Dr. Phil van Neuter, Carter (Howard Tubman's elderly butler), Chip (Gorilla TV / JH Hour), while Pepe and Bobo starred in supporting roles. It...

    Muppet Character Age Thoughts

    Perhaps the Muppets have some sort of "floating age" factor, since the Simpsons have been on the air for a little over 20 years, and they still stay about the same age, which means that if you allowed for real-time age adjustments, Homer would probably be 47, Marge about 40, Bart 30, Lisa 26...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    Every time their PSA spots aired on CN, I did my best to search for the mute button on my remote; if that didn't work, I found myself faced with other alternatives: either change the channel, or cover my ears. Strange, but the emblem on the purple kid's shirt slightly resembles the Hardee's /...

    Muppet Character Age Thoughts

    :news:: This is a Muppet Newsflash: Uncle Deadly is alive and well, and has recently been seen in Disney's The Muppets (2011). Uncle Deadly: The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated, especially since Muppets are apparently ageless. After all, Muppets aren't exactly human, since...

    Gender of Muppet frogs

    I just took a look at the photos from TMTM on www.muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Mad_Ave_Advertising, and noticed that Jill had distinguishing eyelashes, as compared to Bill & Gil.

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

    Unspoken Rules of Muppetdom

    Bobo the Bear usually plays the role of a bad guy's assistant or security guard that at times might not be too certain that he's with the right team, but he usually ends up doing a good turn for the Muppets, and it turns out that even though he might seem a bit clueless, he has his good side...
