    "Muppet" collections... where do you draw the line?

    Well, to shore up a little what you listed...everything from TMS, Bear in the Big Blue House, Sesame, Muppets Tonight, Fraggle Rock, Animal Show, JHH, Hoobs, Mopatop, etc is all "Muppets". Then there is what I would call creature shop that is NOT Muppet related, but JHC related. That...

    Oh yeah, Im much more a fan of the Japanese edits of DBZ. But animation wise...well, that's a different story;) DBZ in the last few years has gotten so huge and mainstream it's amazing. Though, when people say they are into anime sometimes all they mention is say DBZ, the pocket monster type...

    Have you met a Muppet in person?

    CGI & other advances: GOOD/BAD?

    When I first saw T2 and Jurassic Park, both insanely great films IMHO...I was truly blown away by the then state of the art cgi. Since then virtually every film cept Ya Ya Sisterhood uses it to some extent...so it has become a bit ho hum. Even in Episode Two, weve become so accustomed to it...
