    A Look Back to 1990: Disney and Henson

    OK, I can click the link in this thread to get to the article, but where on the SITE is it (and the Kermit-Mickey picture)? I still read it from time to time. BTW, ROCK (as in Fraggle Rock) is spelled ROSCK in the article.

    Did Spam sue the Muppets?

    When I read this, I imagine Homer Simpson drooling. "Mmm, Spam Oreos..."

    Who is going to win "American Idol"?

    I don't watch the show at all (I only was interested in the BAD singers), but I'm rooting for Ruben. Don't know if he's TRL material, but I think he'd be a good R&B singer.

    "The Muppetcentral Dream"

    Unfortunately, whenever I dream about sarah_yzma, it will be a 15-year-old King Prawn whose screen name I can't pronounce.

    Kermit, with ATTITUDE?!

    My 600th message! And let's not forget his "Late Late Show" appearance in Nov. But hey, he's 48 years old.

    EM.TV to Sell Muppets to Jim Henson's Children for $89 Million

    Can some of you tell me why "Don't Eat the Pictures" creeps some of you out? I haven't seen the special in many years, so am I missing something.?

    Henson.com Front Page Update

    I don't know WHY, but I just love the Jim Henson Company logo. It just looks very classy, I don't know why. I'm just a logo lover, I guess. :D

    Disney Stores May Shrink/Be Sold

    Simpsons, how'd the Warner Bros. stores get them? They're 20th Century Fox, aren't they?

    Kermit, with ATTITUDE?!

    Maybe the star of the Walk of Fame went to his little green head? If not that, maybe Piggy has karate-chopped him one too many times.

    Remembering Jim Henson...

    It was 1996 when I learned of Jim Henson's death and--come to think of it--Jim himself. At that time, I was JUST starting my Muppet fandom. I was watching a "World's Greatest Performances" special on ABC, and in the opening sequence said "The Muppets say goodbye to Jim Henson" or somethin' like...

    Henson.com Front Page Update

    Very nice. Nice photo of Jim and the link to the articles are a nice touch as well. Very symbolic, especially since the 13-year anniv. is Friday. Very nice addition to my wallpaper file, too. :)

    Eisner confirms Disney could buy Henson and Muppets soon

    Not talking about Jim Hill here, but I hate it when journalists lie or exaggerate. For example, the New York Post article "Eisner Nears Muppet Rescue" on May 5, saying, as the title suggests, that Disney was close(r) to buying Henson, then a mere two days later, the Henson family ends up buying...

    Eisner confirms Disney could buy Henson and Muppets soon

    Yeah I knew about the time Jim wanted to buy Disney, just didn't write it down for some reason. And from Jim Hill I got the info of Jim wanting Disney to buy Henson in '85, but from newspaper articles I have from the time the actual merger was going on, some of them said Eisner had informally...

    EM.TV to Sell Muppets to Jim Henson's Children for $89 Million

    Jamie said: The more I think about it the more I like the idea that Sesame is a separate property than the rest of Henson. Without the Sesame property to manage, they can spend more energy promoting the Muppet Show gang, Creature Shop projects and maybe get some Fraggle DVDs released. I have...

    What CD's are you looking forward to getting?

    The extreme use of "!!!!" and Smilies sorta caught my eye, I guess.
