    Will Muppet Babies ever be released to DVD?

    Henson has already announced plans to roll out a bunch of Babies merchandise within the next year, in honor of the show's 20th anniversary. If those sales do well, I expect we might be seeing Muppet Babies on DVD before too long.

    Kid's Programming that Makes You Want to Question Life Itself

    People have done awful things in the name of religion, sure. But religion has inspired some of the most amazing acts of humanitarianism (Mother Teresa, Albert Schweitzer), and some of the most fabulous works of art that have touched people everywhere (Handel's Messiah, the Sistine Chapel)...

    Essay assignment about MC-Please Help

    I forgot to mention: meeting Muppet fans online, and then meeting them in person, was one of the best experiences. I made friends with Carolyn (Apple), and this is one of my dearest and most treasured friendships now. I also highly value the time spent with Kev, Jamie, Scott and the whole rest...

    If Jim Henson was still alive, what would you ask him?

    Hee hee. It's not every day that a person can reference "UHF" in a conversation. Must be a good day. :sing:

    Essay assignment about MC-Please Help

    You've only got two days to write a report? Yipes! Or perhaps you're just getting around to it now. ;) Well, it's late, so I'll have to keep this short. I found MC in 1998 and started posting in Jan. of 2000. I find it a great stress reliever at the end of the day (except when flamewars...

    Happy Birthday, Phillip!

    *sheepish* Whoops. I guess I need an e-mail notification reminding me that it's YOUR birthday, Phil! ;) Glad your birthday was a good one. Here's to many more. Hope you got lots of cool Muppety presents! :excited: Now let's have some cake...whoops...looks like Cookie Monster got here...

    Muppet Babies comic artist found

    Scott Shaw is so talented. I have a Laff-a-Lympics comic he drew, with all the Hanna-Barbera characters. Any idea which issues of MB he worked on?

    New Rizzo Website/Fanlisting

    Try typing in "Rizzo Rat" as a search on Google. And don't forget to give credit to the sites you got 'em from. Also, if you have a scanner, you can look through some recent books for photos, and if you have screen-grab software on your computer (your best bet), you can get images directly...

    Kimmel Editorial: A Note from Steve Whitmire

    Sarah, Sweeps lasts for an entire month. Sweeps months are always in November, February, and May. (I think they also do it in July, but that's outside of the regular TV "season," which runs from September through May.) For some odd reason, sweeps months always start on a Thursday (don't ask...

    Kimmel Editorial: A Note from Steve Whitmire

    Wow. That's awesome. The Muppeteers are always so friendly and approachable. How thoughtful of him to send that. You rock, Steve! Nik: Yeah, that is a great building, isn't it? I frequently have to drive past there while driving en route to someplace else. I'm always craning my head as I...

    Kid's Programming that Makes You Want to Question Life Itself

    Christianity as practiced by the majority of people and pastors is much different than the wild extremism seen on TV. The problem is, that's what attracts attention. People who go to church every week and love their neighbors don't make for good TV. A group of lunatics picketing someone's...

    Kid's Programming that Makes You Want to Question Life Itself

    Finally just caught up with this thread. Cory, my buddy, I agree with most of the shows that you listed as being complete junk, but I have to take issue with your classification of VeggieTales in the same category. One minute you seem to take issue with them supposedly forcing a reactionary...

    If Jim Henson was still alive, what would you ask him?

    If Jim Henson were still alive, I'd ask him: So, how're you gonna get out of this coffin? Sorry. That was horribly tasteless, but I couldn't resist. :p Hope you all took it in the spirit of silly fun that the rest of the posts were in. Seriously, though, why couldn't we ask him any...

    Your Thoughts: Jim Henson's "Good Boy!"

    I agree with Jamie. I can't blame the Henson Company for making a talking-animal comedy, as that's all that seems to sell nowadays. But I feel like, been there, done that. The only time I liked it was with the first "Babe" movie. The other movies just looked annoying and loud and not worth my...

    Very Merry Muppet DVD Observations

    Wiggy, You asked "do you realize?" as though the idea that the Bible was written by committee 1000s of years later was a proven fact. This is nothing more than an unproven theory by Christianity's detractors. There is nothing in the Bible to indicate that these stories are not to be...

    Return to the Labyrinth (Sequel)

    Hi, Misty! Thanks for clarifying. I have no problem with fan-produced sequels, and this one does seem like a lot of fun. I just wish the game makers had been a little clearer somewhere on the site so people hadn't been misled. The new site definitely looks more like a game (in a classy way...
