    Very Merry Muppet DVD Observations

    Actually, I think the PG rating is appropriate. Howard slaps Kermit's butt, Pepe talks about topless nightclubs at the beginning, he stares at Joan Cusack's cleavage, he uses the word "s**ks" at the end, Piggy uses a very risque phrase in the Moulin Scrooge scene (but she says it in French)...

    Old Appearance of Elmo on TV show

    Since you seem to be talking about a non-Sesame Street show that Elmo appeared on, I would have to guess you mean "The Thorkelsons," which was renamed "Almost Home" in its second season (that's when Elmo appeared, I think). It was a family sitcom on NBC, and the only name I recognized on the...

    Birthday thanks

    Hi, Phil! I just got the e-mail late tonight, though it was obviously intended for tomorrow (the 9th). The birthday greeting is much appreciated!

    Oh yeah...Muppet Meetups are here!

    Well, since I just lost my job yesterday, I won't be going to any Muppet Meetups this month. :cry: :grouchy: But I can always start planning for the future. Frogboy's actually in either San Diego or San Francisco. (As different as those places are, I never can never keep them straight in my...

    Oh yeah...Muppet Meetups are here!

    Thanks, D.W.! Yeah, you said what I was thinking. If there are 4 of us in the area, why not meet? Hey, folks, if you're in L.A., let's hear from you! I want to meet on the 11th, and I'm not going to let Meetup stop me!

    Rumor: John Denver & the Muppets Christmas DVD

    Yeah, it seems like the dude who was working at Blockbuster was having his chain yanked by his co-worker. :boo: :grouchy: Oh, well. We've got a ton of good Muppet DVDs for this holiday season already. This one can always wait till next year.

    All the new reviews

    Hey, Phil! Just wanted to thank you for all the new reviews we've been seeing over the past few weeks. The reviews for the Storyteller, Ed Sullivan, and Rocky Mountain DVDs; Cindy's puzzle review; and even the VMC reviews. OK, those were actually from last year, but I hadn't seen mine up...

    Oh yeah...Muppet Meetups are here!

    Hey, D.W.! Thanks for the link! My ol' buddy Kev's a little confused: I don't know who might have posted this before, but 'twasn't me. A few questions: 1) I had to nominate a place where we would meet. Are we still counted as part of the group in our area even if we don't all pick the same...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and the Muppets on Jimmy Kimmel Live

    Thanks for the update, Nik! How exciting! I'm in the L.A. area too, but I don't get back from work till at least 5:30. What times are the tapings?

    Happy birthday, Fran Brill!

    And thanks for all the wonderful characters you've given us over the years! (And great job on the menu, Jamie!)

    Farscape mini-series possibly in the works

    Thanks for the update, D.W.! Wonder what form the revived project will eventually take, but it sounds like good things are happening. Even though this is filming in November, I would bet it wouldn't happen till after the Farscape convention that same month. I have a feeling they'd want to...

    MuppetFest 2?

    Briefly: the two-day MuppetFest convention in So. California in Dec. 2001 concluded with "The Muppet Show Live," a two-hour benefit performance for Feed the Kids that was framed as an episode of "The Muppet Show," complete with Kermit popping out of an O at the beginning, with Statler and...

    Happy Birthday Steve Whitmire!

    Whoops. I couldn't find the thread so I started a new one (under "Website and Forums" about the menu). So let me try again. And I thought of a few things I want to add. First, a big shout out to Steve! Thanks for the many great characters you've given us over the years, and for having the...

    Fabulous job as always, Jamie! I hope Steve sees it and is honored by it. So, you doing the Jim Henson menu tomorrow? Or was that yesterday?

    Kermit to guest host Jimmy Kimmel Live

    Hey, folks, sorry if I'm posting something that's already been posted, but I'm not seeing it. Here's the guest roster for Kermit's hosting gig. It's now officially confirmed: he'll be there all week. Mo 9/29: Evander Holyfield, guest co-host Kermit the Frog Tu 9/30: Bob "The Bachelor"...

    No new Columbia TriStar TMS DVDs?

    I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but there have been no new releases of The Muppet Show on DVD from Tri-Star Columbia. Volumes 1 and 2 were released in September, Volumes 3 and 4 were released in March. It's now September again, and I've heard nothing about Vols. 5 and 6. Yeah, at...

    Hitchhiker's Guide: The Greatest Trilogy of All Time

    Well, sure, it's silly and I don't really expect it to happen. But honestly, it's not much more silly than splitting up the character of Jacob Marley into two characters. I would have said the Two-Headed Monster, but that's all dependent on getting the rights from Sesame Workshop. ;)

    The Disney afternoon of our youth

    Well, actually that's what I was saying, Zack. I loved DuckTales, and Quack Pack just seemed like a cheap knockoff. BoyRaisin, I'm not sure if DIC even still exists at all. But Doug was definitely from DIC before it was bought out, and Recess and Pepper Ann both seem in the same style. These...

    Hitchhiker's Guide: The Greatest Trilogy of All Time

    Actually, since Zaphod has two heads, maybe Statler and Waldorf should be playing him instead. ;) Of course Hollywood wants someone like Jim Carrey to be in the film, because they're all about selling films based on having big stars. While I like Carrey's outrageous humor in the right film...

    VeggieTales creators bankrupt, sell to Classic Media

    Yeah, verbal contracts rarely go well...though ironically, the deal for The Muppet Show was sealed on a handshake, and that went beautifully.
