Wow. A lot of pet losses this year. Moon, I'm very sorry to hear about yours. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Good points, Jamie. It's a fun discussion, but sadly we don't know when we'll ever see a new Muppet production, as long as this sale keeps dragging out. And if Disney does buy just the rights to the characters, not the Henson Company, then we can't even do "50 Years of JHC." So I guess we'll...

I agree about the extras on the DVD, Guy. That's why I originally mentioned them -- I remembered the same thing that you did written in OM&M. I wonder if they had one for every guest star, then?

You're all so silly. Don't you remember? "Phillip" is the name Kermit used for himself after he got amnesia in TMTM. Take a look at his avatar and think about it... ;) :) (Just kidding, Phil, my friend!)

Question: why are they releasing this in October? It seems like it would make more sense to release it just after the telefilm airs again. Unless there's a NEW TV-movie planned for October... :D

I agree with what everyone said here. There's nothing wrong with an off-topic discussion, but too often when it comes to politics, the discussions become inflammatory, in which case they should probably just be dropped. This isn't War Central, it's Muppet Central. And your friendships are all...

With all due respect to the parties involved, what is our world coming to when people are looking FORWARD to Saved by the Bell DVD's? Maybe even MORE so than a Muppet DVD? Even though this is a Muppet forum?? Sigh. I fear this is a sign of the apocalypse. :smirk: Anyway, I'm glad they're...

Yes, welcome to the forum, Monopoly Guy! :) Glad to hear that such love went into the game. I'm now VERY curious to see what the actual box looks like, though! Just to clarify: you're saying that the tokens currently in the picture are Betty Boop tokens and NOT the ones used in the game? (I...

Hmm...Toad the Wet Sprocket...a Fraggle Rock ripoff, perhaps? ;) (just kidding)

Red Dwarf...cool. :D A. Leal had mentioned that too, but I didn't catch it the first time. Thanks for pointing it out.

"Love the movies, though. But, I wasn't comparing The Dark Crystal and Labyrnth to the adaption. I was comparing it to the whole thing." I think we're basically talking about the same thing here. I'm just saying one of the reasons why LOTR doesn't work for me as well as Labyrinth does is the...

A. Leal, Again, thanks so much! Is there any way we could get more specific than just numbering, though? I'm trying to remember myself. Here are my best guesses: 1) very bird-like in appearance. At one point, he shouts, "Hey, lady. Where you go with a HEAD like that?" If that isn't Kevin...

I'm with ya about Labyrinth being better than Lord of the Rings. Of course, it's not quite a fair comparison because Jim wasn't trying to adapt a classic epic work. But LOTR (while a stunning-looking production, and probably the best adaptation possible with such a long text) was still often...

DirthNader: No shame in just discovering the show. We're just glad you did! Let us know what you think of future episodes. Scarecroe: I had problems playing the video too. The image never changes, and the sound is largely obscured by a weird humming noise (actually, it's not quite humming...

Sure, Uncle Duke, I understand wanting surprise. But keep in mind that I had given up looking for the Muppet Monopoly thread and was just kind of idly clicking on threads when I finally found this. The name is changed now, but even if it hadn't, it wouldn't have been that big of a deal...

Agustinaldo, I just noticed that part of your original question was "How close is it in spirit to The Wizard of Oz?" Well, as I said, it's a fantasy with music and humor, all qualities it shares with Oz. Also, at the end you're kind of wondering "did it really happen, or was it just a dream?" as...

In the most recent issue of Star Wars Insider (#67), there's a 20th anniversary "Return of the Jedi" retrospective/celebration. In one part, they're listing the reasons why some fans DON'T like the series. Listed at #28 is "Muppets." The picture is of Salacious Crumb, and the caption reads like...

Opinions on "Labyrinth" tend to be varied. Personally, it's my favorite Jim Henson project ever. But many Muppet fans feel differently. Have you seen Jim's other fantasy film, "The Dark Crystal"? It has kind of the same look and feel, but it's not as dark. Jim caught a lot of flak for making...

This is SO cool. Usually the Muppet liscenses aren't that great. Monopoly is too often for the bigger franchises like Disney and Warner Bros. and Hanna-Barbera. But now WE got one!! :) And Monopoly's already cool, so we don't have to worry about them inventing a new board game that turns out to...
