Gonzo-less Well, they got a bunch of us to walk all that nonsense!

As I read the article, I thought, "This might just work, since the Doozers were background characters, the ecological theme is appropriate, and they lend themselves to CGI." Then I saw the photo, with the Doozer's freakishly-swollen head! Yikes! Since they are "testing" the animation right now...

Thanks for the link to your pix. I tried to snap a couple too, but they didn't turn out. I definitely respect the participants' wish to be able to speak freely and not have 20,000 photos taken of them... I was just hoping for a couple snaps to help me remember this event when I'm 70 and thinking...

FINALLY got Sesame Street Old School (for Christmas), and I'm enjoying the heck out of them. I'm glad they included entire episodes, so I could recall how the original episodes were paced (a lot more interesting to watch than today's episodes, but then... I'm not a three year old). No, not all...

We're so lucky they produced the Fraggle Rock DVDs now, with Jerry Juhl's participation. It's our chance to sit down with him one last time. He will truly be missed. The Muppets aren't the same without him!

I think Fraggle Rock is the best thing the Muppets have ever done, but this Fraggle movie worries me. The TV show happened at a perfect moment when everything was in place: great writers, songwriters and performers came together, and Jim Henson was around to guide things in the right direction...

I'm not a fan of reality TV, but I've gotta say I'm excited about this idea. The Muppets get to be themselves, and spoof reality TV and pop culture. Furthermore, the new (or not-well-known) characters and the reality theme might bring in some viewers who aren't die-hard Muppet fans. If these...

Anyone out there have an AVI or Quicktime of these appearances? I missed 'em but would love to see 'em. It's such a treat to have the Muppets popping up on talk shows. Disney's doing something right (let's hope that doesn't change when Eisner leaves).

Why, oh why, did they have to use that FAKE photo of Jim Henson on the cover? We all know he was originally holding a Bert puppet, not Kermit. It's inside the back cover of "The Works," isn't it? It's bad enough that I'll have to look at the FAKE every time I buy a sheet of Muppet stamps...

You know, Tim-whats-his-name-from-Wings has a point: the Sesame Street that we early viewers grew up with was pretty choppy, jumping from skit to skit. BUT the creators of Sesame Street are constantly evaluating and adjusting the show, and in recent years they have made a point of including...

2 Sides of the Muppets The recent made-for-TV Muppet productions certainly don't have the slick look of the movies (gosh, remember how cool Muppet Christmas Carol looks?). But I think It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie and Muppet Oz are pretty good examples of the shot-on-video...

You go, Grover! Arrrrgh. I too managed to miss Grover's appearance. If anybody can make a QuickTime or something of it, I'd love to see it. Strictly for non-profit, non-copyright violation use, of course. I'll even promise to buy some Sesame Street merchandise! It's great to see the classic...

Bigger and better things to come I thought the Muppets would pop out of the closet and surprise the kids. But I enjoyed the snippets of the Muppets at work. I look at these appearances on someone else's show as a bonus for us Muppet fans- just icing on the cake. The characters' schtick is...

Shazam nailed it. The stamp sheet, which otherwise looks very cool, features a FAKE picture of Jim Henson with Kermit in silhouette. Any long time Muppet fan is familiar with the actual photo of Jim Henson holding a Bert puppet. Sure, I'll buy hundreds of sheets of these stamps, but with so many...

Norville vs. The Street We Live On Dang, it sounds like the Deborah Norville Sesame show WAS what we all thought The Street We Live On was going to be! That is, a nostalgic look back at Sesame Street. Naturally, I missed the show, so if anyone finds out they're going to rerun it (maybe if...

Having the Muppets owned by Disney HAS to be better than having them owned by some bankrupt German media conglomerate, right? (Please be right...) It's clear that the Muppets will never be the wellspring of creativity they were when Jim Henson was around. The best thing we can hope for is...
