Hmm, that actually doesn't look too bad. But that's only because I like logos. Other than that, just replace "Disney's" with "The."

Thank you. If it wasn't for Don Sahlin and his contribution to the Muppets, who knows what they'd be like, or look like, today.

Doesn't the Sony video deal expire this year? Would Henson stick with the winning team or would they consider a Buena Vista video deal to be closer to the Muppets and Bear?

What does any of that have anything to do with Disney buying the Muppets? Or what does any of that have to do with anything at all? C'mon, Mark.

Poor Dish Network users. I know I wouldn't be able to live without MTV2 or "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central.

One of the early geniuses of the Muppets was puppet-maker Don Sahlin, who died suddenly in 1978. Does anyone have any idea how he died? I read "Jim Henson: The Works" and sometimes get curious about how he passed.

Great point.

Unless you're waiting for a classic Bert and Ernie sketch. Other than that, your brain just goes numb. I miss the episodes from BEFORE I was born!

I say Henson just strikes a video deal with Disney to release Fraggle Rock and leave it at that. One can hope.

I voted for Annie Sue, though Emily (Ma) Bear is 2nd. I miss those two.

Cool article. Love the pictures. Can't wait for the second installment.

I had a chance to watch the show on Odyssey (before my cable company dropped it), but unfortunately I was asleep each Saturday morning it was on. :smirk:

No, the Pooh characters were actually regulars in "House of Mouse." But let's remember that the difference between them and the Muppets is that Disney themselves actually animate Pooh, Cinderella, Snow White, and the other non-Mickey characters that appear in Disney stuff like that.

Yes, I want to see "The Muppets at Walt Disney World" in my local video store by the end of the year.

1. Well, Bear has been a major hit since '97. Farscape was a major hit during its Sci-Fi run. Do you think the corporate leaders at Henson CARED if these shows were bigger than Kermit? No, it's their product. They WANT it to be successful. Kermit is the icon of Henson, but that's not the end of...

Like I said before, it's NOT a popularity contest between Mickey Mouse and Kermit the Frog. If the Muppets were to become a phenomenon again, Disney would be pleased because THEY'RE the ones making millions of dollars off them! You can argue whether they'll do a good job or not and whether...

Yeah, sometimes I just can't watch that show. I wish Noggin would bring back "Sesame Street Unpaved," even if it's in the middle of the night, since that's when I'm awake anyway.

As for me, eh, I have no emotions. :(

Hmm, maybe.

One thing I don't get from Jim Hill and others is this thing about the burden of legacy, concerning THE Muppets. I can understand this from Brian resigning from JHC in May 2002 to do his own thing, but they are so pressured by the burden of the Muppets, that they had to sell the very cornerstone...
