    Herbert Becker makes offer to acquire 100% of the Jim Henson Company

    Oh, no–––NOT THIS GUY! I just did a search on him. This clown wrote a series of books EXPOSING "magic," and ruining the trade of illusionists. This guy is the DEVIL :mad: :mad: :mad: Here is a review of one of his foul books that I took from Amazon.com: "The guy who wrote this book...

    Happy Fraggle 20th Anniversary!

    You still reading this thread, Karen? Fraggle Rock still seems fresh today. Lord, how I wish they'd make a Fraggle Movie. Maybe it might not make a kazillion bucks, but it'd be A1 quality and would help Henson get some respect, that's for sure :) I started getting serious about the...

    Do you think Labyrinth 2 should be made?

    Green Gelfling I was gonna email you privately, but you don't have one! Graphic design??? That's what I took! And you're in the USA? Run screaming from graphic design:D Ah, who knows, maybe it's different in the US :)

    Financing Issues Frustrate Henson-Valentine Deal

    Wocka wocka wocka Now the jokes are starting! Here's my source material: "It's hard for them to interfere from Germany." Yeah, but don't the Germans have a history of bringing interference from Germany :rolleyes: (with apologies to Luke)

    Froggy Yeah, the Mouse would put our Muppets into working retirement :( Jeez, I don't know...maybe the Henson company might do something good under this new arrangement. I would've preferred maybe Viacom or Time/Warner over the Power Rangers goof, and I didn't expect this deal at all...

    Happy New Year at Muppet Central!

    Luke I'm glad to discover that your classic penquin has returned. I was starting to miss him, what with the recent notoriety he had in the Weezer video :)

    Crossroads on the shores of destiny Well, it should be easy for them, then. If the crossroads are on the shores of destiny, then they should make sure that they don't drive into the ocean. Wait---maybe they should and were meant to because Kermit's a frog. No, no, wait---if Kermit...

    "Very Merry" Hallmark ending

    Froggy You're right, of course :) Still, don't force me to dig up that picture of Doc and Sprocket from Fraggle Rock with an old Apple II behind them :D

    Financing Issues Frustrate Henson-Valentine Deal

    Luke, Beaker I wouldn't have minded too much if Disney bought the Muppets and Jim hung around as a consultant. After all, at that point he had had a few commercial failures and he was bummed. So, why not keep the characters safe? I'd bet that with with Jim consulting, Disney would've made some...

    Beaker, Froggy That's how I feel about the Muppets, too. I feel that they're owned by the fans who share the same ideals that Jim Henson did. Watching them juggled, split and fiddled with makes me ill :mad: And I think Disney, for better or worse, will eventually end up owning them. I'd...

    Froggy Yep, too many chefs just ain't right. Can't have two drivers for a car, or two captains for a ship. A couple of people getting together to start something is OK, but these are the Muppets, and we wanted and NEEDED somebody smart and strong to get them happening again, and like you...

    EM.TV to sell 49.9% of Henson to Dean Valentine

    Luke Well, I guess you're right, I just meant that as we were all specualting, we were guessing at WHO would get the Muppets, and not what portion of them would be sold. I think we were all hoping to be rid of EM.TV as a constipated person wants to be rid of...... ;) Yeah, that's what...

    MuppetQuilter: I remember reading on this website a while back something about the Sesame Street characters being transferred to somebody or something or messed with in some fashion. I can't remember exactly what the heck it was :( Doesn't matter; it's a screwy 49% buyout, which was...
