Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
Yes, SOME of them do. I don't have a brand new hi-def TV (mine is a few years old now) but I just recently bought a multi-region DVD player so I can play discs from other countries, so that to me is more interesting then having everything in this super new hi-def format.
I refuse to upgrade to a Blu-Ray player unless my current regular DVD players crap out. And I sure as **** won't be buying my over 200 DVDs over again on Blu-Ray. I only bought The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Blu-Ray because I'm a collector of the film and everything related to it, so I have...
Yeah there really hasn't been any advanced promotion on this yet, has there? At my job we get all that kind of stuff in advance since we work with movie stills and imagery, and the only shots we've gotten from this film so far is the ones we've all seen with Walter and the gang at the table with...
Getting back to the thread, Sesame Street and the Muppets in general were uncool to me for about 5 minutes (it certainly didn't last long) when I was about 13, right before my family moved from our first house to the one that my parents are in now. I tossed a lot of my Sesame stuffed dolls at...
Katzi, no they briefly mentioned this on the special 20 Years and Counting that's now on DVD. They expanded the curriculum as the years went on. I guess they just wanted to stay basic and as the years went on, figured ok, the kids handled 1-20, lets' try 40. And you're right, #1 always got...
I have no shame in liking Sesame Street or any of the other things I'm into that might not be considered "hip" or the norm today. I like old black and white films, I have every season of Three's Company on DVD, I love listening to big band music as well as 80s alternative/new wave, I wear...
I LOVE the Journey of Natty Gann just for the record...too bad they did such a lousy transfer job when they put it out on DVD, but I bought it anyway and I guess it's better than nothing.
I'm not entirely sure WHEN VHS started showing previews at the beginning, but I know some of the early Disney videotapes going back to the early-mid 80s, many of them had previews. I don't know if anyone here had the old DTV (the music video concept combining pop songs and clips from Disney...
But see, that's the problem. Why hide something like that? I always proudly emphasized what I was into whether it was old Garfield comic strips to the Beatles, to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. All things that most kids my age back in school weren't into at the time or if they were tried to act...
I'm not saying younger generations suck, and you're right plenty of younger people like older stuff, but I think the general public doesn't, or they think it's corny. And Disney/Henson nowadays seem to think so and that's why they're trying to steer the Muppets in a different direction.
I think the audience has changed. I honestly don't think people appreciate old fashioned humor anymore. If it's not "hip" in today's eyes, it's considered lame. I don't think that way, but I have become very disenchanted with recent Muppet projects and I'm probably in the minority that I don't...
I don't know, before I got to my job now and I was going on interviews, they saw I had interned at Henson and the employer actually had not remembered who Jim Henson was. You'd be surprised how many children I've come across who don't know who Kermit is.
I agree they have pushed aside what...
Not offended at all. But I disagree, the Muppets these days rely on trying to be hip and going with famous trend, etc. so this was just another rung on the ladder for them. They have a movie coming out at the end of the year that they have been trying to promote like crazy, but the reality is...
:) That's my boy. But seriously one of my favorite "good guy" roles for Tim, check out the film "Oscar" with Sylvester Stallone. Directed by John Landis, great cast, lot of fun.
No you're entitled to your opinion, I just don't see how it's taking a step backwards for them. If anything this was a GREAT step for them, they have the movie coming out later this year, (and yes I know it's not with the characters we saw on the Grammys) but it's revamping not only maybe the...
