    snoop no more!

    <<So indeed, hopefully the rad times will be back.>> I'm all for that, Cory! :) I loved just about everything from the 1980s. Politically I'm pretty conservative, so the Reagan/Bush years were good ones in my mind. I also think that, while video games look and sound better than ever, they're...

    <<Oh, I dont think theyd give them a 'grunge' makeover...as that in of itself is ten years obsolete.>> Yeah, I couldn't think of the right word for it. I so couldn't care less what the current fashion trend is, I didn't even know what to call it. <<Judging from the recent Muppetisms and...

    Silly. You buy Muppet clothes at the Muppet Gap, or the Muppet Old Navy, or (in Sweetums' case) at the Muppet Big, Tall and Hairy! ;-)

    snoop no more!

    Modernizing the characters should be done with caution. I really don't care to see a grunge Floyd or a Zoot with a nose ring. That would only make them seem dated when the movie is watched 5-10 years from now. Granted, the Mayhem's original clothing styles were based on '60s and '70s styles...

    Please sign the "Save Roger Rabbit" petition

    More info on the DVD I'm surprised. In spite of all the bad blood between these two companies, it sounds like they're really putting differences aside to make this a DVD worth buying. Here's an article on it: "Charles Fleischer will recreate some of the voices he made famous in Who Framed...

    snoop no more!

    Someone help me out here. Where was it said that Snoop's scene with the EM was the only scene with the EM in the whole movie? I haven't read that in any of the articles or press releases. (It might be in one of the other Snoop threads, but there are roughly 100 of those! So if someone could...

    Faversham?

    Hey, all, who exactly is Faversham? I just saw an episode of Donna's Day that someone sent me on tape. In it, Kermit is trying to find a guest to come to Donna's party. The first house he calls is Piggy's, but she isn't there (of course). Some old butler named Faversham answers instead. I've...

    Muppet Vision 3D

    I've thought about that myself before. If The Jim Henson Hour had lasted longer, Scott Bakula would have made a great guest. (In fact, the first episodes of QL ran immediately after JHH!) We already know Scott's got a great singing voice, and he was good at the comedic moments on the show too...

    Farscape: Cancelled

    Cat, Actually, 100 is preferable, but series can go into syndication with only 88 episodes. Sliders has been run in daily reruns, and it only totals 88 episodes. In fact, Quantum Leap was sold after only 75 episodes. (Its final season added an additional 22 episodes to that number, close to but...

    Which Film do you want to see get made?

    I'd go with Cheapest. That's a Jim/Juhl/Oz idea. Plus, the thought of how Gonzo could mess up the movie seems like practically limitless comic material. Reminds me of the heyday of TMS. Next Muppet Movie could be good if it's really gutsy, as some have said, but I fear that it would more...

    New Muppet Central Site Design

    Great intro! And when it went to the new screen, a Fiery popped up. Woo-hoo!!

    New Muppet Central Site Design

    Wow. I'm speechless. That sound you just heard was my jaw hitting the floor. INCREDIBLE job, Jamie et al.!!! (Jamie tried to explain to me what it would look like a while back, with the arches and all, but I couldn't grasp what he was telling me. The end result far exceeded my expectations!) I...

    Farscape: Cancelled

    Wow. At first I thought this might be a hoax -- Farscape is (was?) their most popular show, and I knew they already had it in their contract to go through Season 5. But so far as I can tell, this is all legit. Of course SFC would create a loophole for themselves. Probably FS's ratings were hurt...

    Muppet Vision 3D

    MV3D is by far one of the best things the Henson company has ever done. First, it was an astonishing technical breakthrough. I gasped as Waldo pointed to just ME, even though I realized he was pointing to everyone else at the same time! I loved the way Jim mixed the regular puppetry with...

    Seymour

    I think they made the right choice. Frankly, I never even NOTICED Pepe on MT when he was with Seymour. It wasn't until he broke out on his own in MFS that he truly demonstrated his star potential. With all due respect to Brian, Seymour was comedic deadweight. I like Brian's other characters...

    Happy Birthday Luke and bw0000

    Grail, Nope. Sorry, dude -- I have no idea who that other Chilly is. I just checked the site out of curiousity, but there was not much information there. What was wbs.net a site for before it (apparently) closed down? Weird. I always thought I was the only Chilly. Apparently I have a crazed...

    Happy Birthday Luke and bw0000

    (blows on party favor) Happy birthday, Luke! Hope it was a good one, buddy! BW, I've never actually talked to you before, but...ah, what the heck. Happy birthday, anyway. :)

    Ed Sullivan - The Fat Puppet

    Warrick's not confused. That clip really does exist. I saw it too in one of the retrospectives -- though for the life of me I can no longer remember which one. And I haven't seen any more than Warrick has. Sorry.
