    Who owns the rights to what?

    They are part of the Muppet Television library which Disney bought. The bought the show, unaired episodes and any production material would be included. When they got the show they got everything that goes with it (name, characters, music, episodes, ect). When they got the show the unaired...

    Why is Sesame Street slowly dying?

    Here are my 2 cents... Being nostalgic about the old days is ok at times. To be nostalgic means (and I'm quoting from the dictionary here) – to be unhappy at being away and longing for familiar things or persons. You may miss seeing the classic characters, skits, songs, and format of Sesame...

    Mahna Mahna on Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper commercial

    I saw the commercial and I have to ask, is the song the same recording the Muppets used (with Jim Henson as Mahna Mahna). It sure sounds like it. If so, I take it that Disney gots some money from these commercials.

    Who owns the rights to what?

    The creature shop is all still Henson's. Disney did not get any of that. Infact the puppets themselves are still made, maintained, stored by Henson for Sesame and Disney. The buildings, shops, studios, equiptments, ect. that Henson owned, Henson kept. When Sesame broke off the Sesame...

    Bert's Family

    On Sesame Street I remember Bert had a brother Bart, and a nephew Brad -- both of which have appeared. Does Bert have any other brothers/sisters? Is Brad the son of Bart? Have we seen any other memebers of Bert's family?

    Has Sesame become less educational?

    Thanks, I guess all those college classes I took on education and teaching came in handy for something. With that logic you shouldn't talk to your children until they are able to understand you either. Watching TV/videos/movies is good for children (in moderation). You shouldn't stick them in...

    Muppet Show DVD season box sets announced

    The Sesame character would not need to be cut. Just a simple addition to disclaimer on the disk to say Sesame Character Trandmark of Sesame Workshop, bla, bla, bla. There are several specials, films or TV shows that blur the line between ownership. For example “The Christmas Toy” and “Emmet...

    Who owns the rights to what?

    Yeah, that episode is in a sticky situation. The segments talking about Fraggle Rock, DogCity, Monster Maker, or The Song of the Cloud Forest - that's all Henson's.....but the parts about MuppetCentral/Intertube, the Muppet Show, the Muppet movies, and the Muppets - that's all Disney's :p...

    Who owns the rights to what?

    Back in 1987 Grover, the loveable muppet from Sesame Street has his very own animated TV special. In the special we see the origins of Super Grover. Grover's mommy makes him a superhero costume for Halloween and as soon as he put's it on, he becomes a superhero. Smarter than a speeding bullet...

    Muppet reality pilot taped last summer

    Remember this is most likly a one-shot special, not a new series, we're talking about here. Using a special like this could open the Muppets to the reality-TV. pop-culture, fad-following audiance who would be interested in this and they'll "fall-in" love with or rediscover the characters, thus...

    Muppet reality pilot taped last summer

    It never said they would be puppeteering the Muppets. "The reported plot is that the Classic Muppet characters (not the Henson performers) would be auditioning new puppeteers, potentially in an American Idol format. Characters like Kermit, Miss Piggy and Gonzo would be the judges auditioning...

    Muppet Show DVD season box sets announced

    It depends on the product. Sometimes Disney just slips a product out there with no warning. Other times things like coverart, disk details, release date, ect. get out early and they promote it. It all depends on the product. Being that this would be a box-set, a collectors item, and something...

    Muppet reality pilot taped last summer

    The article said, "The special could potentially air alongside the Muppets’ Wonderful Wizard of Oz movie next May. Or it may never make the airwaves." It would be a cool thing to see added as a fun extra on the Muppets’ Wonderful Wizard of Oz DVD (and after the film on the VHS release).

    Download the Muppets' Oz Teaser Promo

    I think the film will be good. It will not be the #1 Muppet production of all time, but it will not be the worst (probally not even in the bottom 10). I'm excited to see the Muppets back in a new production for the first time since the 2002 tv-move, It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie. It...

    Anyone like Spongebob?

    I have been known to enjoy watching the Porifera-Robert Quadrilateral-Trousers (SpongeBob SquarePants). I am a fan a few other Nicktoons; The Ren & Stimpy Show (Nick's Ren & Stimpy- not the Spike TV's "Ren & Stimpy Adult Party" cause that was junky), Rocko's Modern Life (oh how I loved this...

    VCR ALERT: Gorch on NBC

    It would be NBC-Universal who would make that call. Since they own SNL, the can release any skits (or collection of skits, or musical performances, ect.) from the show on DVD. The Jim Henson Company does not need to be apart of that decision, or even agree. It is all up to NBC to do so, just...
