I watched the interview tonight. On this issue, at least, I think Michael Eisner was sincere in his love for the Muppets and his admiration for Jim Henson. I am also convinced that he really wants to help Kermit and the gang go into what I call "career rehab." I know things won't ever be the...

I agree that the timing of this deal could've been better, and I agree that both companies are in a fragile state at the moment, and I agree that Michael Eisner's gotta go. I also agree that mistakes were made the last time they attempted to work together. But this deal, sorry to say, was bound...

This has to be the saddest, most depressing thread I've ever read here! :o I agree that the timing of this deal is off, considering the creative and financial rut that Disney is in right now under Michael Eisner's rocky leadership. But I see potential that this deal will help turn things...

I really hope this deal works out well for both parties, because I respect and admire them so much. Right now I am optimistic -- perhaps with some cautiousness -- that it will restore the fortunes of the Jim Henson empire. Apparently this deal will allow for the reruns of TMS and MT to get wider...

Hi, I'm still recovering from the "MT on CTS" fiasco, but I'm feeling better seeing that the second run of TMS has started. According to Canada.com's TV Times, this is what is projected for the second week. Remember, all listings are subject to change! Feb. 23 - Paul Williams 24 - Lena...

You're right, what a bummer! I'll tell you right now that the listings for next week are all TMS eps., and I'll post them here tomorrow. I just hope that the handful of eps. that didn't get aired in the first run will be shown in this one. I was also not impressed with CTS on Friday when they...

Call me a goat. Call me whatever adjective you'd like, but please don't shoot this messenger -- not even out of a cannon! (laughs) The TV Times guide at Canada.com had listed Muppets Tonight as being on the schedule for this week (Feb. 16-20). But tonight, at 7 PM ET, it was revealed that CTS...

I want to buy those two Big Bird specials on DVD. Unfortunately, they won't get released here (Canada) until March 2. :sympathy: Oh well, they'll be worth the wait. :) Have you bought your copies yet? OI MuppetFan

Gee, Eric, this comes as distressing news to me, because one of my long-term projects is to get all the TMS and MT eps. transferred to DVD. Up to now I had been taping the TMS eps. on six 10-hour tapes in EP mode (20 eps. per tape). I was going to tape the MT eps. on two six-hour tapes in EP...

Wasn't the last E&B skit w/ Jim Henson the one where Ernie brings home a white fluffy dog? OI MuppetFan

The MT eps. haven't aired yet. I doubt if all the UK skits will get shown, just like many of the UK skits from TMS were cut and replaced with commercials. I do know some of the ones you related to because I saw them a few years ago on another channel, w/o commerical interruptions. The Todmans...

YES! Please go buy it! I got it as a Christmas gift about 10 yrs ago, and I read through it very quickly. The photos were great too. I also have the video companion from PBS called "The World of Jim Henson," also highly recommended. OI MuppetFan

Well, OK, if you want to stretch things a bit, I'd also recommend: - Big Bird in China - Big Bird in Japan - Follow That Bird - Put Down the Duckie - Elmopalooza - Christmas Eve on Sesame Street And on video: - The Best of Kermit on Sesame Street (DVD release TBA) OI MuppetFan

I've got the 25th anniversary DVD too. The A&E Biography on SS is one I highly recommend, because it is targeted primarily at nostalgic adults like ourselves! :zany: You can order it through A&E's Web site. OI MuppetFan

TMS will probably return once all the MT eps. are shown. CTS still lists the show as TMS in its 7 PM timeslot block. If this is the case, then TMS should return March 17 following the broadcast of the last MT ep. (probably the "best-of" ep.). I can continue to update everybody here each week...

Have any of you heard a Christmas recording called "The Littlest Snowman"? That's the greatest memory I have of Captain Kangaroo. He narrated this cute and emotional story/song on a CBS record called "The First Christmas Record for Children," featuring various artists from the 1950s (e.g...

I've been monitoring the Canada.com TV listings, and the 22 episodes of Muppets Tonight will start airing on CTS (Cable 9 in Toronto) on Feb. 16. Yesterday I posted what I thought would be the listings for the first week, but they turned out to be inaccurate. CTS appears to be showing the eps...

MT sked to be revised The MT schedule on CTS I posted here yesterday will need to be revised. I've discovered since then that the episode order will be different than the list I have from TV Tome. I'll post it here probably next Tues. or Wed. Sorry about that. :o OI MuppetFan

I made an assumption in an earlier posting here that CTS (Cable 9 in Toronto) would begin its second run of TMS on Feb. 16. But after having visited another TV Guide-like Web site, it appears that CTS will include all 22 episodes of Muppets Tonight in the package! So, here are the week's MT...

Here is CTS' Muppet Show TV guide for the week. CTS is broadcast in Toronto on Cable 9/Channel 36. It is also available in other areas of Ontario and Canada (check local listings). All eps. listed here are subject to change. Feb. 9 - Wally Boag 10 - Buddy Rich 11 - Marty Feldman 12 - Senor...
