Great idea, Foob. Those books do look impressive. If DK likes the idea, and is looking for an out-of-work writer with only 1 paid credit to his name to write the text, I know just the guy... ;)

By the way, Kev, been meaning to tell you: love your current Fozzie avatar! I know it's a Season 1 Fozzie, but I've always felt that photo captured Fozzie's personality well.

Hey, guys. I've been having a few problems lately with the technical side of the forum, and I'm wondering if you can help me out: 1) I recently switched from a Yahoo to a Hotmail address, and changed my profile here accordingly. Since then, if I click on the link from the e-mail notification...

Randall: I hear ya! Wasn't it great growing up in the 80's? :D The first time I remember seeing TMM was on video. I feel like I must have seen it once before in the theater, because when they asked me if I wanted to see it again, I was excited, as though I had seen it the first time. Maybe I...

The puppeteers have absolutely nothing to do with that decision. The writers decide which characters get used and which don't. Dave has actually pushed for several years for Beau to get back in the spotlight. Dave was probably the one who decided to have Beau in the background for MFS and VMMCM...

Agreed about Garfield. Pardon my saying so, but Jim Davis cashed in long ago. He's a corporate figurehead, not someone who produces the strips on a daily basis. The new artists don't seem to understand that what's funny about Garfield is that he eats all the time; he's literally a fat cat. We're...

Guys, I've fought Disney for a long time myself, for all the reasons that you mentioned. They're all good reasons. But the fact that is EM.TV has seriously blown it, and the Henson company doesn't really have any good options. AOL Time Warner and Viacom are just as greedy of corporations as...

(CD begins laughing maniacally. Then he laughs manically some more. Then he laughs even more...well, you get the idea.) :crazy: I can't stand it anymore. How long will this insane soap opera drag on? I'm throwing up the white flag of surrender. Disney, PLEASE buy the Muppets. Put us all out...

Great strip, Cory! Love the obscure Howard & Nester reference. While your work is highly stylized, the personality of the characters still comes through, and I like that. Sorry you won't be around here much, though I'm glad it's not due to a controversy or flamewar. You have to pursue your...

I agree with you, Kev. Comics are in a sad, sad state. Most of the classics are living off their fame from the past. I wish I could say it's been worth it when the original artist passed on or retired, and someone new has taken it over, but I've never seen that to be the case. Blondie is awful...

I agree with you about DuckTales, Jamie, but disagree with you about TaleSpin. I felt that one was as original in its own right, with interesting characters and exciting storytelling. There are a lot of times lately I wish these two shows were on. (Quack Pack, on the other hand, WAS a ripoff.) I...

Very interesting news. I saw Yoda's picture in a publicity drawing, so he'll definitely be on the show. I figured Frank wouldn't be involved, though. Thanks, Joe, for the heads-up on Tom Kane. I didn't realize that wasn't Frank for the talking doll! I was kind of hoping they'd use Eric, but oh...

The 25th anniversary (2001-02) was actually a pretty good year for the Muppets, after the bleakness of some other years. But I know what you mean. This whole buyout nonsense with EM.TV prevented them from getting the series off the ground as fast as they should. Who knows now if it would even...

Great thread, guys! Does anyone else who was at MF remember how the hand-and-rod puppets were being performed? I seem to remember Dave coming out on stage alone with Gonzo, and yet both hands were moving all the time. Maybe I was just so amazed by the performance that I got caught up in the...

Someday I'd like to see a pictoral history of all the characters. That's one of my many unfinished projects that will never see the light of day. ;) So far as I can tell, here are the number of different Fozzies over the years: 1. Season 1 Fozzie obviously looked very different from the...

Hello, Manda...I'm a Fiery....BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ;) I could see how that would scare you. I was 13 at the time, so it didn't bother me. I was 14 when JHH came out, so Digit didn't scare me either...but I can see how he would! :smirk: MuppetPro: I find it hilarious that you're talking...

Actually, Dr. Tooth and Daffyfan, I loved MCC, and my least favorite of the post-Jim movies was Treasure Island. I felt the novelty of seeing them act out a novel was gone, I missed Kermit, Piggy and Fozzie being in central roles (not as much of a problem for me in MCC, because at that time it...

Sidebottom, I think you have a point. Gonzo is not a maschosist, but he will overlook any physical injury in the name of art. However, I think what most of us are saying here is that the daredevil/performance artist aspect of his personality is just gone these days. He's not doing painful things...

Chef/Beaker Fan: Sure, we could possibly meet there the next time I plan to go. I'll let you know what my plans are. Anyone else want to get in on this? As for viewing for free, I was able to watch for free for two hours without being a member. I think I could have watched even longer than...

Thanks, Phil! I don't know how I missed that before. D'oh! Note to self: always check MC articles before posting. ;) That answered a question I had about an earlier Rowlf as well. And they did a version of Kermit in the red sweater? Awesome! Who can help but go down the list and make...
