Still I think that's the typical diplomatic PR statement that everyone would see through. It's refreshing to me when public figures are honest. Honesty shouldn't mean you're the bad guy. ;)

I hope so, I'm not looking forward to being disappointing or anything, lol. And thanks. :)

I still wouldn't think it was a well executed joke. ;) If I misunderstood the comment, I apologize.

Exactly, if they had done that, it wouldn't have been just a cheap laugh.

Um, if I'm wrong I'll admit it. But I won't withhold my opinion just because you don't like it.

The difference is the Rowlf joke humorously implies something. The joke in this new movie just throws a cheap laugh at you. "I hate a dirty joke I do, unless it's told by someone who knows how to tell it." --Groucho Marx In the case of this new movie, someone did not know how to tell it. ;)...

That happens sometimes, but just as often fans do know what they're talking about. And changes made to characters very often aren't slight and they aren't true to the characters. Fans have seen this time and again and they aren't overreacting. They simply recognize when something's been tampered...

In my experience it usually isn't a slight change, lol. ;)

Lol, well you know how it is, you're panic and under pressure, you try to think of any fantasy character you can....and then you realize you completely forgot about the question, lol.

They've done satirical jokes like that in the past without going to the lowest common denominator like that though.

My only concern is I don't want to imply to kids that they would only identify with the "new" projects. Assume they couldn't appreciate the Muppets any other way. That's the last message I want to send them. I'm not saying you said that, just wanted to add that to the discussion. :)

Well if it was done at the beginning that would be fine. But I guess it's the interfereing with people's nostalgia and memories that rubs me the wrong way. But ultimately I guess it depends on the situation and your own preferences. :)

I do get what you're saying and there are times when it's nice to have a character's name changed back to what it should be, regarding its origins. I just don't love companies taking it upon themselves to change something about a character just because they've decided it makes more sense. It...

Well I mean, how would we feel if they changed a character name we grew up with, just to supposedly "fix" an "inconsistency?"

I'm more of a dog person, lol. But cats are ok.

Um, truth?

Um, give three reasons why you don't like the Muppets! ; D (I don't know, lol).

And as long as we keep accepting that, we can't expect change. ;)

Yeah but on official applications, if you're not married, you do need to put down "Single." The law is not interested in your dating life, lol.
