    Well, I finally heard Steve's Statler

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!! No, I'm not mad at you fine folks. I just got told that I had too many smileys in my post. When I clicked back to the message, the whole thing was GONE!!!!!!!!! :mad: OK, let's try again. Short version this time. Wiggy, I think there's a MUCH bigger...

    Disney in talks to buy Muppets

    Kev, I must humbly disagree with you on a couple of points. First, it's not that Disney is doing nothing with its classic stable of characters. In the past that was true, but in the past few years we've seen Mickey Mouseworks, House of Mouse, and this winter we're getting a new theatrical...

    Disney in talks to buy Muppets

    OK. So should we assume, then, that Disney, not Henson, will be producing any NEW episodes?

    Disney in talks to buy Muppets

    <<I know "Bear" is on Disney Channel and is treated as good as any Disney character, but Henson/EM.TV still controls and produces "Bear in the Big Blue House." It don't say Walt Disney Television in the end credits. I'd like to be sure I'm right, but these days I'm really confused what to...

    Well, I finally heard Steve's Statler

    I feel there's been undue negativity directed towards Jerry in this thread. :( Honestly, I have more problems with all the other matchups mentioned here than with Jerry's Statler. But I guess that's just me. And to be honest, I never even noticed any difference between Steve's Statler and...

    Disney in talks to buy Muppets

    Scarecroe: That's where it gets confusing, isn't it? I guess Disney would own the rights to the movie library anyway. So what about Farscape? They'd own the rights to the 88 episodes already produced, while EM.TV (or whoever ends up with the CS) would own any continuation of the series? Oog. My...

    star trek

    Enterprise can never get better because of Berman/Braga's reckless disregard for Trek these days. All of the deliberate screwing up of known Trek history renders this series irrelevant (so the Russians met the Vulcans in 1957 and Zephram Cochrane means nothing?). When they're not screwing up...

    Tech support: help!

    JimmyDeanDog (great name, BTW): Actually, I left Yahoo because I was getting hundreds of spam a day. Hotmail is relatively quiet for me. But... Beau: You're right, that's why it's not working. It's opening a stupid new window in Hotmail, rather than just taking me to the page. I guess I'll...

    You're favorite 80's puppet shows(non JHC)

    I didn't realize Cyndi sang the Pee-Wee's Playhouse theme! She put on kind of a "Betty Boop"-persona type voice to sing it. I wonder why she never guested on the show. Yeah, Pee-Wee's Playhouse was the only one that really combined so many different kinds of puppetry, wasn't it? That was...

    Has anyone ever lost a pet?

    Zack, My condolences; so sorry to hear about your dog. :( I hope that life treats you better soon.

    Way to go, Matt! :excited: That means there's hope for the rest of us. ;) :D

    Remembering Amy... We will miss you.

    Wow. That's devastating. I didn't see this thread till just today. She was only 22, younger than some of us here even. My prayers go out to her family.

    Meet the Muppet Central Staff

    ROTFL!!! You guys crack me up. Tres cool addition to the site, Jamie. I already knew what all of you looked like, from MF or online photos, but it's fun to see a staff listing and learn a little more about the people behind the site. The profile said you had an online comic. Did you ever...

    For All You Weird Al Fans!

    Sarah, I think you missed the joke. The reason for his inability to have children has nothing to do with being married or not! ;) Re-read that post. I'm glad to hear Al finally got married. When did this happen? Glad to hear he's got a new album coming out. About time! :D I love the DVD of...

    Well, it's good to see Disney diversifying their Saturday cartoons

    Jamie, Al may not have as a high a profile as he did in the 80's, but he does still keep busy. You might remember he did a Star Wars: Episode I spoof a few years back to the tune of "American Pie." On that same album ("Running with Scissors"), he's got a song called "Your Horoscope for Today,"...

    Disney in talks to buy Muppets

    BoyRaisin: I'm also disgusted that the Henson company will be splintered once again. And what sense does it make? If you look at the past decade, it's not Kermit and co. that have been making money for the company, it's been the Creature Shop, an awards-winning leader in the industry for special...

    Phil, Right -- I got that done a while back. The e-mail notifications are coming to my Hotmail address; that's not the problem. The problem is that I'm not allowed access to post from that link.

    Is "Cliff's Nightmare" going to be on at all this week?

    I'm with ya, Stulz. The episode itself is pretty lame. It does seem like just an excuse to use the Muppets, and they have to pretty much stretch the credibility of the show just to do that. Also, the Muppet stuff is being written by Cosby writers...not as funny as Jerry Juhl stuff. Of course, I...

    Muppets on Cliff's Nightmare episode of The Cosby Show

    Who performed the Hippocratic Oath? The voice is kind of like Beau's, so I thought it was Dave Goelz, but the last time I saw it, his voice seemed different, especially in the second half. Was it Richard maybe? Did the puppet get switched off in the middle of the episode? (Unlikely, I know, but...
