    "Peanuts" movie in development for November 2015 release

    Interestingly, regarding the involvement of the Schultz kids, I recently read that Charles Schultz was never able to buy the copyright back from United Features Syndicate, so it's not like they really needed the family to approve of the movie.

    Big Bird and The Count on Funny or Die (Video)

    This was funny. I think the funniest part came at the end when everyone finds out that Big Bird is only 6. Not to mention when Big Bird mistakes one of the employees for Oscar, and someone points out that he lives in a trash can (I guess the implication is that he's homeless). I think I saw...

    Video: Warburton's Muppet Show Commercial featuring the Muppets

    This was a good commercial. I was expecting a giant crumpet character to appear. After seeing several episodes of The Muppets in a row that don't feature characters who hadn't been on the show yet, and considering the fact that some characters won't appear, it is so good to see so many...

    The Chipmunks

    I saw one trailer for the new movie, which only showed the Chipettes in one scene. Didn't Dave end up taking them in in the second movie? I haven't seen the third. Something tells me that the Chipmunks and Dave's fiancees kid will end up getting along and become okay with being step brothers...

    The Muppets Episode 6 - The Ex-Factor

    I feel like there should have been another scene with Kristen Chenowith and the band, maybe them forgiving her and picking her up, or her catching up with them. And they realize that they didn't have these problems until she showed up, but the issues are still there. I guess they forgot about...

    "Peanuts" movie in development for November 2015 release

    I've noticed that in this movie, Patty's hair is blonde, when she's usually a brunette in color. Though when I was starting to be more interested in Peanuts around 1995, I saw her in some black and white pictures and assumed she was blonde. And I wonder what's up with that, her hair being brown...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    I wonder what the pairing will be for series 2. It would make sense for Statler and Waldorf to be together, but I wonder if the rest will be one Swinetrek crew member with one of the others. It would be possible to do it that way. Or maybe two Swinetrek members while another is paired with a...

    "Peanuts" movie in development for November 2015 release

    I saw the movie today. It was good. I thought it was odd that most of the movie takes place in the winter. I know, many strips do take place in the winter, and there have been a handful of non-Christmas specials that take place in winter, but it still seems a little odd (I wondered if they'd go...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    I've noticed that on the new show, there seems to be a small group of characters used (even if it's a big small group). In nearly every episode (until the last two, which have had certain major characters absent), the characters seen in practically every episode are Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie...

    Am I the only one who hates what they've done to the Fozzie puppet?

    I thought it was just the last two movies that hadn't had much Rizzo, with him being a lot more prominent in other recent productions. He is seen quite a bit on the new show, in addition to them making Yolanda a major character. Though I don't recall seeing other rats on the show yet (and it...

    TV Tropes

    Looking at the "First Installment Wins" page, I realize that I've missed the point of that one (wouldn't be the first time I missed the point of a trope page). I thought that was for works where the first one is the one that fans generally consider the best (and it listed works where I was...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I first heard of Roger Ramjet when I looked in a 1995 Video Movie Guide which had an entry on video releases of the series. Usually when I think of the title Roger Ramjet, I think Roger Rabbit. Interestingly, in that video guide, it said that Ken Snyder was involved in it before being involved...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I've seen a number of websites point out that in Back to the Future Part II, in the alternate 1985, it's mentioned that Uncle Joey is still in jail like in the original timeline. However, it's never mentioned in the other alternate 1985 (the one that came after Marty time traveled), nor in 2015...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    And I've read that they cut out "Happy Birthday" from video releases of the "Birthdays" episode, so it's not like they're against cutting content from Elmo's World.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    The next Sesame Street DVD is... UGH!!.... Another Elmo's World one. I was hopeful that they were finally done (just release annual Elmo the Musical ones instead!). But the next one is "Elmo's World: Elmo Wonders". On the upside, it'll include Ernie's song "I Wonder" as a bonus feature...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    I've noticed that we've mainly seen the same characters in nearly every episode. But then something hit me about this the other day: Nearly everybody wears a different outfit each day, instead of wearing the same thing all the time (except for when wearing a different outfit would be...

    "The Muppets" show runner exits, series to be relaunched February 2 with episodes 11-16

    Seems like Sam is more fair in his censorship than I had expected. I expected him to be so strict that they'd struggle to keep the show on long enough for a half-hour.

    The "You know what?" thread

    So presenting episodes in broadcast order is a bad thing? I prefer broadcast order. That's the order Muppet Wiki uses for most of its episode guides (though Henson seems to use production order, though for the most part the Fraggle Rock DVDs are in broadcast order). There are some cases where...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In The Weird Al Show episode "The Competition", the award for best children's show host ends up going to Fred Huggins, who is said to have been the only one who played fair. It's supposed to imply that that's why he won, but they never specifically say that that's why he won. The host says that...

    "The Muppets" show runner exits, series to be relaunched February 2 with episodes 11-16

    It will be interesting to see what changes are made. I know that a lot of fans have complained about the more adult content as well as how mean the characters are (though I think the mean-ness dropped considerably after the first episode), maybe that will be toned down. I'm hoping that we now...
