Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
^Very true, that is. I'm 21, and I could only afford "The Muppets" because it was a magical six dollar matinee. :P I'm in SO much college debt right now... I'm squirreled.
As for "The Muppets" bombing. Well, clearly that didn't happen. It's grossed more than the previous three Muppet releases...
You're right, you're right. I don't want to be negative about it. I just want to Muppets to kick some arse. Gah, I hate Twilight. What a horrible mess of a series.

I hope it pulls through.

I don't want to prove Tex Richman right!
I just saw it again - small crowd, less than 15 - and I have to say, I loved it more the second time. My face hurts from smiling, my stomach hurts from laughing, and my eyes are still stinging a bit.
I still have some minor irritants (I still don't think Kermit is 100% back to his old self, but...
Well, if it was Brian Henson, he really is the last person who should be complaining about degrading the Muppets' integrity. "Stuffed and Unstrung" is hardly high brow humor.
Also, I was concerned by the fact that there were only 20 people in the audience. That said, it was beautiful to hear those people sing along with "Rainbow Connection" and the Muppet Show theme. :)
Just got back from seeing The Muppets. My thoughts are a little jumbled at the moment, but I will attempt to write as coherently as possible.
THE GOOD...
-For the first time in quite a while, the Muppets have depth, and are given some pretty emotional stuff to work with. Kermit and Piggy's...
Watching Kermit and Rowlf serenade Jim Henson at the D23 Expo. It was so powerful, knowing that though Mr. Henson is gone, his characters are still here.
I love it. Kermit is really himself now. He's got Jim Henson's sarcasm and occasional biting wit, balanced perfectly with his kind, everyman persona.
Also, I'm glad the Muppeteers came out from behind the benches at the end. They deserve recognition for their brilliant talent.

Here's one thing that irritates me a bit about the new generation of Muppet Performers. Well, not the performers themselves: they're great! But I feel like it's a disservice to Steve Whitmire (I know, he's old guard), Eric Jacobson, Bill Barretta, etc, etc, that in interviews, the muppets are...
