That's the worst part, for me, of Disney not buying the Muppets. I'm NEVER gonna see that special again!!!

Re: Re: Guys, I'm sure the Disney World special didn't air, right?

Yeah, for 2 years we've been asking ourselves "Who will buy Henson?" Now that we know for sure, it's like "OK, now what?"

Re: Re: I'm with Beaker Don't forget Dean Valentine!

I knew you'd say something interesting, Luke. :)

At least now I know WHAT HAPPENED. Now I'm on the first step of moving on. I just wanted to know how Disney screwed it up again, and now I know. So Brian didn't snatch the Frog from under the Mouse's nose, he snatched it from the Friendly Ghost's, mmm, something or rather.

The Disney merger was announced on August 28, 1989; the EM.TV sale occured on February 21, 2000; the Dean Valentine deal was announced last Christmas Eve; and May 7, 2003, was when the Henson Family bought their dad's company back. I'll probably change my signature anyway, just seeing how I...

Hey, according to some articles (a few of which I posted in the other thread), Disney might've backed out two weeks ago anyway. So if the kids saved the Muppets from the "dynamic" duo of Classic Media and Sesame Workshop, then I'm all for this. Once again, I want Disney to own Henson, but I...

I just sorta found this interesting, though no one probably cares at this point. Daily News, New York, Publishing Column May 8, 2003 3:14am May 8--The children of legendary puppeteer Jim Henson have swooped in at the 11th hour to snare Miss Piggy and Kermit -- their dad's beloved...

That author needs to get his facts (or fact) straight. I'm still not understanding what this "$11 million in liquidity" thing means though. Really, one minute the Hensons buy JHC for $89 mil--78 + 11--then I hear that EM.TV is keeping the $11 mil. I don't know, corporate stuff. Oh well...

Re: and another article Well, if this is indeed TRUE (though it makes me question the media reports now) and it means what I think it means, well...YAY HENSON KIDS!!! Hoo-WOWWWW!!!!! *screech* Hey, Brian, Lisa, Cheryl, John, Heather, you go kids! You teach Casper a lesson! It's either...

Here's an article... Germany's EM.TV sells Muppets maker company to founder's family By GARY GENTILE .c The Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) - The family of Muppet creator Jim Henson has succeeded in a last-minute bid to repurchase the company they sold to a German media firm in 2000...

Rightful owners, but are they the right owners? We'll see. The whole thing's sorta sweet and symbolic, but I still want Diz to buy them. Well hopefully, God willing, I'll stop caring (as much). Wish me luck!

(And I was writing this message while Radionate was posting his.) OK. The Henson Family have reached a definitive agreement to buy the Henson Company. So right now, they're buying the Muppets and the Creature Shop and everything else. Now, if for some reason, the deal fell through, much...

They've started the process. They still need approval, though. Though at Hoover's Online the Henson Company is listed as "Private" again. And Phil, when you add this to the timeline, call them the Jim Henson Family, and not his children or kids. They are of course, but Family is just sounds...

When did the lefties take over? *Embarrassed chuckle*

Well well well. I have several reactions to what we are witnessing here today. Let's start: 1. Wow! Wowee, wow, wow, wow, whaa? I didn't see THAT comin'. 2. Where the F did this come from? 3. Hmmm, though I haven't needed this thought in the past year, I always said if Disney couldn't...

Yeah, my previous comment was sort of a note of sarcasm. But I wished for the middle of the road (under Disney ownership of course). Interesting day, and I've only been up half-an-hour.
