Aw thanks, that is very nice. At least they're talking about decent entertainment on a late night talk show for once, instead of the usual nonesense.

That has been my concern as well. It's not too late, I mean it took Disney two decades to get their act together again. It is possible that this new project could break the pattern. I really can't say much else until I actually see the movie.

I have to admit that idea puzzles me. As other users have said, it will end up getting confused with the original "The Muppet Movie."

Cool, actually I often do that, take characters from one of my interests and put them in another interest's situation. It's fun to do when you've run out of episodes and want to see more, lol. Well actually the talk shows we did with Beowulf. I played Grendel as the talk show host, lol. We...

Well just want to give a plug to The Paley Center for Media (aka The Museum of Television & Radio), which is located in both NYC and LA, and has a lot of rare Muppets specials and TV appearances available for viewing.

Alright! Virtual high five! : D

Well I was lucky I actually had a teacher who made Beowulf and Canterbury interesting. We did some bizarre stuff like talk shows with the characters, lol. I tried reading Dickens years ago but maybe I was just too young, I might try again at some point. Sharkespeare, definitely, though I...

Aw lol, well I remember liking The Canterbury Tales in High School, I agree it takes effort to get through. ;)

I think that's a good way to describe it and I also agree that at the same time audiences have been and definitely will be rooting for them to succeed. I admit I was surprised this movie has gone so far in planning so that's a good sign. Just have to wait and see. Yeah I think overall we're...

Good choice! ;)

I mean bottom line is whether or not it has decent writing (easier said than done of course, lol) and doesn't resort to the low class, depressing humor that popped up in some of the projects from the '90s. Or on the otherhand, having nicer humor but be too bland and generic (that's probably more...

No problem, it's one of my favorite specials. :)

I know what you mean, these lists don't tend to go very deep. They're more for just the general public than hardcore fans.

According to the article they weren't ranking in order of importance. But personally I don't think Teletubbies should have been on there at all, lol.

Well they do say the numbering isn't mean to indicate which is better or anything. No one I knew was talking about it, heh. Audacious? As if that kind of ending had never been done before...please...

I think that's assuming motivation. You can't assume all "purists" are just being annoying and stubborn just because you don't agree with their point of view. Maybe they're just as concerned about the Muppets as you are, but don't express it the way you do. I could just as easily say some...

Well I do want to say that as a purist I wasn't at all ticked off by Animaniacs. They were something new and fresh but still had the same sense of anarchy. In short, it was a well written show, lol. That's what this whole debate comes down to. Whether or not this will be a well written movie...

It's from The Muppets Go to the Movies, a 1981 TV special that was used to promote Great Muppet Caper. :)

You're saying "you can always make another Bugs Bunny cartoon without any of the animators or Mel Blanc" but to me that's like saying you can always make another Muppet movie without Jim Henson. As we've seen in the '90s, that's clearly not so easy. ;) Newer attempts at doing Looney Tunes...

LOL, love that. Don't worry as a Yogi fan myself I completely understand, lol. And yay Time Bandits!
