Aw, thanks. I should have some good news to announce in a few weeks!

I'd like to see a movie that involved the day-to-day operations of the Muppet Show - from a perspective of their outside lives to their professional ones - and have the conflict arise from that. Or maybe Kermit could get so stressed that he goes on vacation and leaves the Muppet Show to Walter...

The digital download will probably take over...but not the rather limited digital download of today. The kind of version I'm thinking of will probably take several years to devise, implement and market. That said, I'm sure that even the initial offerings in that format will pale in comparison to...

That is true. Again, I felt that same sort of pain when the Muppets Inside video game wasn't available on Mac when that's all I had and that all the Muppet phone apps are now only available on iphones even though I don't own that device. I'm sure they could permit it to play perfectly fine on my...

I think you misread. VHS wasn't more expensive back then due to production costs of the materials. It was marketing. DVD, even though it is digital, is not really much clearer than a video tape. LaserDiscs, even in their analog state, were beautiful! There was definitely a reason to get them if...

I can't afford cable either. I get what you're saying and kind of referenced it in my last post. It is definitely a stunt they pulled and I don't like it either, but it makes sense that they're trying to get people already investing in home video systems to realize that the prices are now...

It was important for me to create a thread where people felt free to share good news. A place that clearly weeded out the negativity and that's the path I chose within the forum guidelines. "Happy Thoughts Everyone" could be just as negatively interpreted by others too. We can always nit-pick...

I get that. (Skip ahead a paragraph those of you who don't want to read this brief statement about blu) However, the extra payment required to see the special features on Blu-ray is $60 for a Blu-ray player. Not ideal, but certainly affordable to anyone with enough free time to hang around here...

Walter is the character who introduced an entire generation of kids to the Muppets so I think he's here to stay. It would seem mean to exclude him at this point. He's one of the gang and I'm so happy the writers and his performer got him just right. It could have easily gone the other way, but...

I agree with that. It's when that sort of sharing starts wandering into abuse. When the first inclination is to chip away at things. It's more muppety to explore! That includes negative and positive elements. I've been seeing a lot less of the second thing here. Believe me, there's a lot that...

I can certainly agree with the spirit of that statement. :) I just think there's a difference in having an unpopular opinion and habitually approaching every topic with a "glass-half-empty" perspective. There are too many members now (not just one) who come here to gripe rather than to share...

Differences of opinions are great and I've voiced many harsh critiques of everything from Kermit's Swamp Years and Muppets From Space to the graphic art being used in promotional materials and the gentrified state of Sesame Street. However, I try to balance these criticisms with something...

The texture on Kermit and the rest of the puppets is so beautiful.

I agree. That dead horse is dead and now it's getting stinky. No use kicking it anymore...other than it's just icky and kind of rude to disrupt dead things. So I'm gonna leave that alone. That Droop clip is amazing! It was amazing to hear him again.There seem to be so many funny moments in...

This has to be the best thing ever!!!

The appearance of Scooter was amazing! Just a few years ago one of the Muppet Show comic book artists had informed us that Disney wasn't pushing Scooter to the forefront and now they have him headlining! The tide has turned and the Muppets are back in a big way. They are more than just a movie...

Some see the donut, others can't help but complain about the hole in the center for posts and posts and posts and posts. And posts. Constructive criticism is one thing, but there always seem to be members who pick apart every bit of good news only to see the bad in it. This transcends the...

Fan forums are natural places for nit-picking, fanatical rants and critiques, but I'm tired of MC turning into a mostly-gripe fest in light of all the frognabbit fantastic Muppet news! That's why I created this area. If this thread flourishes I will continue to visit the forum often. If not then...

By the way, thanks to Ryan for pointing me to the wide assortment of very inexpensive Blu-ray players. I imagined it would be $200+ but they had some as low as $60 and there wasn't even a sale on! I went with a $100 Sony brand since they're the ones who are behind Blu-ray, but i was very happy...
