    Favorite Muppet compilation special

    I thought Nick, Odyssey, and Disney Channel cut MFC too, but just for more commercials. They've cut other specials that I've seen.

    Favorite Muppet compilation special

    True. But isn't that just as bad? Especially on a DVD. Most DVDs feature extra cut or deleted scenes; Columbia's feature LESS scenes than the original! Suggsy: Allegedly, the reason the scenes were cut was that they couldn't get the rights to those particular songs for video. Some of us are...

    The Museum of Television and Radio: A Trip Report - Day One, Part I

    Jeffrey, Fantastic review! I loved reading it. I've seen most of those specials, and I agree with you on your opinion on most of them. For the few I haven't seen, it was fascinating to read about. I agree that the John Denver Christmas special is overrated; if you'll notice, it's billed as...

    Favorite Muppet compilation special

    If Columbia TriStar released it, it'd be without any extra features and with 8 crucial minutes inexplicably missing! LOL!

    Pallisades Figures Get an A+ from Cinescape.com!

    Hi, Phil! It's good to see you as well. I must admit I was a little perplexed when my message suddenly "disappeared" from On the Web! LOL! Then I figured out where you must have moved it to. Makes sense. Great review by Annika. Please tell her so! Yes, Cinescape does review action...

    Why?

    Jamie, I agree that there could have been a greater sense of peril at the end of the film. However, that in part supports my hypothesis that Jim was afraid of doing anything that might scare anyone the second time around. Ironically, it backfired on him twice: audiences at the time didn't see...

    Why?

    I understand people's impassioned reaction to the box-office failure of these films. But while "people like stupid stuff" explains the failure of some smart movies and the success of other movies like "Mr. Deeds," it fails to explain why good movies, like "Monsters, Inc." or, say, "The Muppet...

    My Lame Website Updated

    Quinn, I loved the Little People! A lot of fun. I could even imagine someone doing Star Trek and Star Wars Little People, but you do all the movies, all the series, etc. Who would have thought of a DS9 Little People set? :) I thought your Pevensie children from Narnia were especially good, and I...

    Do you think Labyrinth 2 should be made?

    Very true. It was just a trivia note. I wasn't blaming them. ;-)

    Do you think Labyrinth 2 should be made?

    NeverEnding Story III, oddly enough, is the only one that used the Creature Shop.

    That dripping noise you hear is me drooling out of jealousy. ;-)

    Muppets/Weezer video featured on Netscape

    Hey, all, just a heads-up: on Netscape's home page right now (home.netscape.com), they feature a link to their "Music" section with the "Gone Fishin' " video. There's a big picture of Kermit with the lead singer right on the front page. There are also several images to download from MFS, the...

    MuppetFest 2?

    Good heavens. I really enjoyed MF 1, but it wasn't the most fulfilling thing in my entire life, and I hope that isn't the case for others too. I hope people are just speaking out of the excitement of the moment. Folks, it's a bad economy right now. You lose (or give up) your job, you may not...

    MuppetFest 2?

    I'm going to have to agree with Emmy. March will be a hard time for a lot of people to get out of work, school, etc. If they want to hold it in the spring, why not June? The first two weeks of June are still technically part of spring.

    Sesame Kubricks release?

    I can't make the link work either. Can someone please explain to me what this is all about? The only Kubrick I know of is Stanley, and imagining his version of Sesame Street is quite an interesting thought, to say the least. ;)

    Thanks for all the info, Micheal! I'll be looking forward to the pictures of those videos.

    Muppet Babies/Fraggle Rock Comic Books

    DB, There were approximately 27 or so issues of the Muppet Babies comic. All stories were original, not adaptations of the TV show. At first a storyline would last an entire issue, but starting with issue 11, I think, the issue was split into two seperate stories. As with Fraggle Rock, Stan...

    Christmas 2 Dvd Set In September

    OK, so Kermit's Swamp Years is being released in September. 20 Muppet Show DVDs are being released in September. Muppet Christmas Carol is being released in September. And now these two Muppet Christmas DVDs are being released in September?? Do the companies understand that, yes, Muppet fans...

    Muppet video "Holy Grails" Found!

    Thanks for straightening that out, Micheal! I obviously had the two confused. Unfortunately, I did an eBay search *after* I got the tapes in the mail and found out just what you said -- that the tapes aren't all that rare. In fact, most of the dealers were selling them shrinkwrapped, just like...
