    Statler & Waldorf on movies.com

    Oh man, this is the best one yet! Statler makes reference to the fascist Fox News and their millitary mongering, Fiama makes reference to mob violence, Statler and Waldorf completely diss Michael Bay's summer action films over the years...and don't forget to click on the bonus clip with...

    NFFC Big plans announced for the Muppet gang

    Apparently not:) Hate to break it to ya, but that was happening in the late 90's at Hot Topic:) they still need at least a few Sesame characters, Sam and Friends characters, etc. Perhaps you do not realize the significance of Sesame Street with Kermit. Were not talking about Fraggle...

    NFFC Big plans announced for the Muppet gang

    Well Kermit without Sesame characters and clips is utterly pointless, and Disney knows it. The audience isnt stupid, ya cant play history revisionism.

    NFFC Big plans announced for the Muppet gang

    I agree with that. To me the Henson kids souled out their father's legacy and betrayed all their fans...it could seen as Eisner's last hail mail power grab beforeh his fall. Of course on the other coin one could see it as JHC doing the only thing smart, and that was handing off the Muppets...

    NFFC Big plans announced for the Muppet gang

    Well for a lot of us its a difficult tradeoff. For starteds, the JHC every year debuted a cool new logo...Disney slaps us in the face with a really lame logo. Also, there should be an informative Muppets.com, and then the site now should be a seperate interactive site. I really dont like...

    NFFC Big plans announced for the Muppet gang

    Well this wasnt written by Jim Hill, and it was just the facts of the show. And ya gotta love the Swedish Chef pix! Would aloved to have been there, despise the fact a Disneyana convention would make me go into hive inducing convulsions:)

    Disney's plan to relaunch the Muppets

    A return to 70's variety tv show? ugh, I'd rather return to Jim Henson Hour format. Tho, anything must be better than a forray into the dreaded reality tv show world. Incidentally, in 2002 JHC was planning to launch a new Muppet show on Fox prime time, rumored to take place in a theatre similair...

    Penguins now available for pre-sale

    So I guess I missed out on the 15 or 20 preorders(Im guessing, as they sure sold out fast) OMFGCF had for the penguins. Anyone hearing getting extras at San Diego comic con, and willing to take paypal?

    Frank Oz News

    Dang, I thought Oz was trying to distance himself from the world of puppetry. This is encouraging. One hopes someday Oz and Juhl will work again with the Muppets.

    Statler & Waldorf on movies.com

    Niiice, havent seen a Rowlf speaking part since Weezer's making of Gone Fishin video 3 years ago. Hopefully this stays a weekly movies.com feature.

    Penguins now available for pre-sale

    given I was banished from the Palisades Forums in 2002, and I dont really have time to check out forums much, not really. Just kind of ironic out of all of 2005's exclusives of the remaining ones I wanted these the most. It's ironic as a footnote, that countless Muppet figures were left...

    Penguins now available for pre-sale

    As Pepe would say, unbelievable! So how in the heck did they sell out of preorders, if the news of this was not made known anymore? Looks like ebay will be the only way now. I just want one penguin...if anyone can part with one penguin, I have a proverbial museum of rare Muppet stuff to trade.

    Terrific, it was great seeing the Muppet news sites mentioning this on their front page(as if)

    Why are recent Muppets tries all flops?

    Heh, you never saw the Muppet's Land of Gorch Saturday Night Live sketches...I cant even hint what some of those skits were about:)

    UK's Creature Shop faces closure over taxes

    Yeah, it's pretty sad. Between the selling off of the Muppets, losing sesame street, closing the NY hq and puppet workshop and now this...what will JHC have left? Its really sad.

    Relaunching The Muppets: A New Plan

    Not by much...I can't recall hardly any second of Oz where I was truly in awe like I am with even the most banal Muppet productions. And yeah, Eric Jaccobson *is* Frank Oz now. What we do need back is writer Jerry Juhl...I mean, c'mon! At least get some good writers, the Muppets are not even...

    Muppets Season 1 releases Aug 9, 2005

    I can't see the words "sex and violence" being included on a Disney dvd...so Im guessing sadly it will be the Valentine special(which I didnt get too much into) or Sex and Violence with the titles cut. TMS: S&V is the only real pilot tho, so thwey could mean that. And yes, I give Disney props...
