    "The Muppets" Official Movie Trailer

    I agree, there's very little chance of this happening, but I'd also love it if they dropped a reference to Avenue Q. Even if they just mention the bad guys indulging in a little schadenfreude.

    Fraggle Parents?

    I could totally see Boober fainting in horror when things started happening in earnest. ;)

    Fraggle Parents?

    Counterbalancing that, in "Mokey Then and Now" Boober says "Gobo's not even born yet." The Storyteller was talking about a mythic character in a first season ep and Boober was referring to a real person in a fourth/fifth season ep, so I'm inclined to go with the latter. Or maybe some Fraggles...

    Fraggle Fic: A Wandering Heart

    I wasn't expecting to trigger old memories with this, but, heh, I see what you mean. Jan will need help, but in his case it's because of cultural differences and gaps in his knowledge. At this point he can read and write just fine, though his penmanship is pretty weird--the Fraggle writing...

    Fraggle Fic: A Wandering Heart

    I have a batch of fresh-baked bagels cooling in my kitchen, which has nothing to do with this story. ***** A Wandering Heart Part 12: Phone Home by Kim McFarland ***** It was early evening, and the staff of the TMI were preparing to close up the office. For most, that involved getting as...

    Fraggle Rock: Red and Boober

    I can't say that I'm a Red/Boober shipper, but I can see the appeal of the pairing. And they did have some interesting moments in the show for example their heart-to-heart in "Marooned" and Boober's protectiveness during "Playing Till it Hurts." Red's so proud and Boober's so prickly that they...

    Kermie's Girl (ushy-gushy fanfic)

    This is one epic fic. When you started updating it again I went back to the beginning and reread it all. It took a while, but, wow, it was worth it. I really don't know how to review something as big and chewy as this story. I really enjoy how you give attention to a lot of characters and...

    Fraggle Fic: A Wandering Heart

    Thanks, Java. Glad to see someone's still reading this mess. ;) I've done extensive research on the motherhood thing, in the form of observing my sister's family under the undercover identity of "Aunt Kim" and occasionally having my sister preread passages which deal with subjects in which I...

    Fraggle Fic: A Wandering Heart

    Hmm. It slipped my mind when I was writing the program notes to part 9 that "Timshel," the title, is a Hebrew word that translates more or less to "thou mayest," in the sense that one is enabled to do something; rather than being commanded or destined, one may choose. It's the central point of...

    "The Muppets: Being Green" Teaser Trailer Online

    I would try to explain why I think Bunsen & Beaker are funny and this isn't, but someone once said that humor is like a soap bubble; dissect it and it's gone. I'll just shrug and chalk it up to different senses of humor.

    "The Muppets: Being Green" Teaser Trailer Online

    For me it's not the fact of Walter being thrown onto the fence, but the reactions. Segal and Adams just stand there staring at him as he screams for too long, then react in what I think is a very unfunny way. Edited differently, it might be a funny moment.

    Threadless Muppet T-Shirt Design Challenge

    Congrats, Frogboy! I'll be buying this shirt. I wonder if they "corrected" the tally after taking into account clusters of votes coming rapid-fire from the same IP address. ;)

    Muppet Voice Comparisons

    Recognizing that there's room for improvement, and striving for that improvement, is likely how you've gotten this far. Your Kermit is not perfect, but he's very, very good. You're a worthy understudy. Keep at it!

    Threadless Muppet T-Shirt Design Challenge

    Frogboy, I've been looking at the varius designs, and I just don't see where the scores are displayed. That's what I was asking about earlier. Have they hidden the scores since you posted that link, or am I missing something?

    Fraggle Fic: A Wandering Heart

    A Wandering Heart Part 11: Monstrosity by Kim McFarland ***** There was a soft creak as the door opened, letting a shaft of light into the dark storeroom. A hand reached in and flipped on the light. Janken, startled awake, glanced around in confusion. Before he remembered where he was the door...

    Muppet Mosaic Desktop Pattern!

    This may be a dum-dum question, but how can you tell that your score was bombed if the scores aren't visible?

    Muppet Mosaic Desktop Pattern!

    James, have they actually said that the highest-scoring design is the one that will be used? Given the ease with which ballot boxes may be stuffed or bombed, plus the fact that they should want to choose the most commercially viable shirts if they're going to invest the time and money into...

    Muppet Plagiarism of Fozzie and Me

    Until now: Cartoon Darkwing Duck New Rare Sport Metal Watch and many other listings that you'll find by searching "Darkwing watch." There's also a wall clock and who knows what else with the same pic. (Given how small my pic is, I imagine the wall clock looks dreadful.) What weirds me out is...

    Muppet Plagiarism of Fozzie and Me

    Disney might not care about someone's fan art getting stolen, but bootleg merchandise with unapproved art is another thing. Someone's making merchandise using their characters without their permission, and that directly involves money. Disney has, in the past, definitely taken notice under...

    Muppet Plagiarism of Fozzie and Me

    Argh. I know how you feel. My Darkwing Duck art periodically shows up on bootleg merchandise on eBay, and as the sellers are all out of country there's nothing I can do about it. I E-mailed one about it, and he apologized and offered to sell me one of his watches at a discount, but sure...
