    Muppet Haunted Hotel

    >>>We should all just be thankful that they are still entertaining us<<< Not to sound 'un' grateful or taking things for granted...but regardless of emtv or any financial situation....the Muppets will always be around...always. They to me are first and last and always. The past present and...

    Ninja Turtles

    I actually like the rap during the credits of the first TMNT better. Plus I dont think JHC was as involved if at all with the second as they were wiht the original. Btw, as far as big genre trilogies go...its usually the third ones I love. Muppets Take Manhattan and Jedi blow the other...

    Nate Bought a DVD Player...HELP!!!!

    >>>I *love* both Swingers and Made, but I kind of tend to lean towards Made, actually.<<< There is something magical about both films. They are both masterpeices, and I dont think I have ever seen a film as much as Ive seen both. From references to Jedi and Pirates of the Carribean to the age...

    Nate Bought a DVD Player...HELP!!!!

    Yeah, Swingers and Made....in my mind Made is the sequel(even the trailer for it points that out) But yes, some of the best comedies Ive ever seen(I love that, clerks, mallrats, etc as opposed to Farrelly brother slapstick) ...And, Blockbuster has this SWEET deal. Prepay $25 for Monsters Inc...

    Ninja Turtles

    Good to see this thread kept alive...TMNT have been one of the most influential and important American comic books of the last near two decades. People can have thier Thundercats, Heman, whatever. With the exception of Transformers, Ninja Turtles in my mind is the quintessential definition of...

    How long will VHS last?

    >>>Until some form of a DVD recorder can come out to replace the ultimate family memory maker, VHS won't die out<<< Well I can wear a skinny tie and put on a Devo 12" but that doesn't mean cassette tapes and beta vhs is still viable. Go to your local Best Buy..."Hmm, where's all the vhs?"...

    Abbreviations & Terms

    For those newer to Muppet Central, or just wondering what the heck were talking about sometimes, I have compiled a list of all the abbreviations and their terms on here. These usually consist of three things: tv shows, specials, and movies: *MC=Muppet Central *MF=Muppetfest *TMS=The Muppet...

    What's your most prized Muppet item?

    >>>On the surface, the "thing" may not be valuable per se, but the "gift" certainly is. Let's not forget that "gift" is the culmination of a thought of you, the effort to acquire it and the act of handing it over to you.<<< And above even that, nothing beats making something whether it be a...

    Kermits Swamp Years DVD Secrets

    >>>Did anyone at MuppetFest actually say that there would be lots of Cameos?<<< Not cameos specifically, but things that would put a smile on a longtime fan's face. So far, from what I read...besides what sounds like an unwatchable movie we get just a few truly out there references...

    Fraggle Rock DVD Petition

    >>>The petition has been advertised on DVD and Cult TV sites - not just Muppet stuff<<< Still, 5000 seems to be an off number. I could unsterstand those numbers TMS related...but Fr...it wasnt even available to most Americans in the 80's! That, plus marketing wise...there hasnt been anything...

    Eureka's Castle

    One of MANY JHC ripoffs(puzzle place, gullah gullah, etc) Then again over the years I call stuff Muppet ripoffs...but since JH reinvented children's programming and the art of puppetry as we know it...I guess it may be like calling a Boeing plane a ripoff of the Wright Brothers.

    I am surprised

    Well, unlike a lot of fans I as well have known about the politics, 'real' backstage, and other ins and outs of the business for many a year. Not near to the extent of you, but lets face it... from a business side, the WWE is not about the fans. I know what ya mean by ups and downs, but its...
