No, I'M not making a distinction. I'm just talking about the legal necessities. It's great that most of the nation, and Muppet fans, and maybe even Henson themselves, still see Sesame characters as part of the Muppets. But the fact is that if Sesame characters are used in a "regular" Muppet...

That is AWESOME, Scott! Where on earth did you get that clip from? I assume it's not a special feature on the Harry Belafonte DVD.

I'm drooling over the pictures right now. :excited: I don't want to read the article till I play the DVD myself. But there's lots of good stuff there! BTW, Ryan on TP points out that Amazon has changed the release date to Sep. 2...

Whoops. Didn't see this till just now. How are you, Barry? Hope you're doing well.

Wow! This is fabulous news. Neither of the John Denver specials ever air on TV like the rest of the Muppet specials, so it's quite a treat that fans will finally be able to get them both. Imagine: we'll get to buy 2 Muppet Christmas DVDs in one year! :excited: I've never seen the Rocky...

You can say that again, BoyRaisin! It has been a rough year. My condolences. He will be missed.

Putting their money where . . . Some Scapers even established an independent group called The Viewer Consortium to explore various ways in which viewers can directly finance quality television shows such as "Farscape." Ambitious stuff, but 20 years ago fans brought back CBS'...

Thought you all might find this interesting...though the well-meaning article writer gets a few things wrong, i.e. "Farscape's ratings didn't improve even after being pared with SG-1," not "Farscape's ratings were just fine till Sci-Fi bumped it from its slot with SG-1." (And that's nothing...

This is indeed Sprocket from Fraggle Rock. He has no lines; he just has a cameo appearance for a few scenes. As for your other questions: 1) I take it you mean is one of the famous Muppets playing the roles, just as Kermit plays Bob Cratchit? If you mean that, the answer is no. As Mustang...

Thanks for all the laughs, Bob. We'll miss you.

Worked fine for me. And I didn't have to lie about my age either. :smirk: And I also didn't have to check any boxes for their mailing lists (by law, they can't make you do that anyway). The main thing that concerned me was the Privacy Policy. Sony has one, but what about Rhino, the main...

I completely agree with you that the TMS DVDs are not all they could or should be. But does that justify stealing their content from a website? If that's the case, what a person is really saying is "I actually DO like the content; I'm just using my griping as an excuse to do whatever I want with...

Well, we've got little bitty creatures having their souls sucked out by giant skeleton-like birds. Not exactly the cheeriest of stories. It's got amazing production design, but the film is quite a bit dark, even for my tastes.

I have my tapes handy; the Muppet tapes were definitely released by Playhouse, the SS tapes by Random House. It sounds like Phil just made a simple mistake (they've both got "house" in the title, they both came out around the same time, they're both compilation videos). Someone probably should...

Very cool and intriguing! Thanks for posting this, Phil. For legal reasons, I don't think we'll hear anything till after the sale is finalized on Aug. 1, or maybe not even till after the Creation con in November woos potential bigwigs. But it's always nice to know what's in the works.

For those thrilled with last year's Mickey Mouse in Black and White and The Chronological Goofy (I still need to check those out), here's more good news, courtesy of Smig at TP: From www.dvdtoons.com Walt Disney Treasures Wave 3 July 11, 2003 (10:52pm) Reported by: Anthony Walt...

Hey, folks, remember a few weeks ago when I was complaining about no Looney Tunes on DVD? Well, my wishes have come true! According to Smig over at TP, there are 4 individual discs being released this fall. Just a couple of days later, Warner Bros. announced an additional two-disc set, plus a...

Thanks so much, Jamie! I certainly don't want to put more work on you; I just want to make sure I don't miss what HAS been done. Terrific stuff! Happy 4th, everyone!

CB Boy, I was just kidding with Phil. There is no relation.

Fantastic job as usual, Jamie! Glad Sam's in there, as he should be (though the poor guy still doesn't look happy. LOL!). And Waldo in particular was a nice surprise. As a side note, could someone list all the Muppeteers' birthdays? I've missed a couple of Jamie's fine menus and don't want to...
