1. If you were a fruit, which one would you be?
Orange, duh.
2. If you could change your name, what would you change it to?
Buck Naked
3. Of the "one joke" Muppets, which do you like the best, Lew Zealand, Crazy Harry, or The Count?
The Count is my favorite SS muppet, so I'll go with him...
I'd say Great Muppet Caper is the best. If I were to rank them
The Great Muppet Caper
The Muppet Movie
Muppets Most Wanted
The Muppets (2011)
Muppets From Space
The Muppets Take Manhattan
Muppet Treasure Island
Muppet Christmas Carol (Good movie, not a good muppet movie though).
Ya, that's...
Muppets From Space is okay. Jeffrey Tambor and Bobo the bear are great in it and there are some funny moments. It's at least more entertaining (but not necessarily better) than Muppets take Manhattan for me, but doesn't come close than the first two.
I completely agree with your 'weak yet...
What I meant about VMX is that it was great to see Kermit front & center instead of Gonzo or Rizzo. It's not a great movie, but it's still enjoyable.
Honestly, none of the post-Henson muppet movies are great aside from the Muppets and MMW.
Weren't Latifah, Tambor, and Grier just minor characters? Jeffrey Tambor was one of the best parts of Muppets From Space, but his part was really forgettable in this movie. To be honest, I don't remember much about MOZ aside from that it was awful, might have to watch it a second time.
I have to strongly disagree with you there. VMX wasn't amazing, but it brought back some forgotten characters and a good majority of the muppets like Fozzie and Gonzo were in-character after a movie of picking noses and being scared to get their brain sucked out. The songs weren't half-bad...
I wonder what would have happened if The Muppets were still on the air. Matt Vogel would have to quickly get his Kermit down for a hypothetical third season.
I understand & respect Oz's opinion, but I feel him not liking the newer stuff is more about personal things than about the quality of the productions. I mean, he only watched 15 minutes of the pilot of a TV show before he reached a verdict that it sucked.
Yes, but if he took part in that movie, where Fozzie was unbearably stupid and his biggest joke was picking his nose, I don't get him complaining about the new stuff. And frankly, the 2015 muppet show did Fozzie right. Not overly stupid, just a well-meaning bear who sometimes gets into trouble...
A - at the moment, yes.
B - I have lots of them
C - Pie all the way
D - probably coffee
E - laptop
F - red
G - gummy worms
H - Anaheim
I - sitcoms
J - January
K - none
L - muppets, duh
M - sometime somewhere
N - 3
O - oranges
P - bugs, maybe
Q - Don't cry because it's over, smile because it...
I was thinking about Frank Oz's interview and how he didn't like muppets 2011 because it was too cute and muppets 2015 because it was too mean. While I respect his opinion, this guy worked on freaking muppets from space, what did he think about that muppet production?
Thread bump
If The Grinder could get a DVD release a year after its cancellation, I don't see why the muppets can't. Really don't see the harm in making a quick buck off of burning episodes onto a disc.
Went to Barnes & Nobels and saw the reprints of season 2 & 3. They come in a normal DVD case instead of the nice box-sets and now have the ABC studios logo on the side. Also, they were really overpriced with both at 20 bucks. If anyone bought them, is there anything different about the physical...
Some people don't understand opinions :rolleyes:
I think it's a good movie. I agree with what you said. After a while of Gonzo & Rizzo taking center stage, it was a return to form.
WHERE IS THE FREAKING VIDEO, THEY RELEASE THEM EVERY MONDAY AND THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I REMOTELY CARE ABOUT THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE USUALLY FIVE SECONDS LONG AND SUPER BORING!!!!
So is everyone suddenly hating Muppets 2011? It's weird that initially muppet productions receive critical acclaim on this site, but as time goes on, everyone starts to hate them. Same thing happened with VMX. I thought 'Pictures in my head' was a great song.
Considering Frank said this, I would love to hear his thoughts on the 2015 tv series.
But Oz is right about all this, but at the same time, as he said, the muppets are back (or were) and I'm glad we got 2 good feature films even if they weren't as good as the muppets from 1981.
