That's exactly how you would feel if it was a piece of music you had composed and a show you weren't interested in or didn't like wanted to use it. It's only from our points of view that it seems mean to not let Disney use them for our beloved Muppets!

I understand what you mean. The amount of money that Disney spent on buying the complete rights to the Muppets and the back catalogue. They should be releasing more than they are. Maybe they are weighing up being cautious with their releases against saturating the market. It would be difficult...

As far as I am aware (correct me if I'm wrong), the Muppet Show DVD sets have been selling very well. I think Disney would be dumb not to consider releasing more of their Muppet back catalogue once season 5 is finally on sale. Having said that, I know some people's feelings on how the Muppets...

I don't understand why Disney haven't released the Muppets At Walt Disney World special already. It would surely be in their interest. It is basically a feature length advertisement after all. :p

Yeah, the video is great, especially the fact that it is based in the Muppet theatre. I don't think it really fit too well among the classic 1977/1978 Muppet material. Maybe it would have worked slightly better on a Muppets Tonight release.

It was released on its own on video in 1987 so there is every chance we will see it on DVD at some point. Also, specials like The Fantastic Miss Piggy Show, The Muppets At Walt Disney World and Secrets Of The Muppets should not cause too much of a copyright problem for release on DVD. Other...

I think I would have prefered the first season complete without extras rather than what we got. I love the extra stuff but complete episodes with the original openings and closings are more important. Any extras that can then be aquired are great but not essential. Also, I'd like to note that I...

Out of interest, does anybody know if Gonzo is roughly the same build as Kermit? I'm talking about height and body size. Also, any idea what his shoe size is?

She always seems like a nice person. She went on to practically own Hi-de-Hi after a couple of series. She only started as bit-part but she was difinitely the star of the show.

Only a couple of weeks for us in the UK now! :concern:

I like the suit too but I'm too used to seeing the Gonzo with a softer look and a more pinkish nose wearing it. Gonzo had changed so much over the years. I also notice that you are a Hi-de-Hi fan. :p

Even when the clothes are a little too big for him, Gonzo seems to look more realistic when not wearing his signature suit. Is it because he is modelled on a modern looking Gonzo and he hasn't worn the vintage suit for such a long time?

I think you killed it. :p

I am still waiting for mine but I understand what you mean. I think it might be down to the fact that Gonzo is unlike any other Muppet, plus the hideous plushes we have had to put up with for 20 odd years make this new replica look so much better. Kermit and Animal toys and puppets have been...

You are definitely one of the best poser photographers on here. Maybe MR should employ you to take their promotional photos. Love the look Animal has got in that pic. Classic!

I had the box set containing Christmas Toy, Family Christmas and Go To The Movies but somewhere along the line the box was lost and now I only have the videos. I have managed to collect several Palace videos since then. I have created a page on Muppet Wiki about the Muppet Palace Videos. Any...

Don't keep worrying about it so much. He is what he is and that's all. It's not a real Gonzo but it's pretty close from what I can see in the pics. I agree there could have been, from our point of view at least, loads more they could have done to make him more accurate but this is what they have...

Nicely done. I like the group shot. It gives them so much more life when they are posed together!

Some people just expect too much in life I guess. I have been a Muppet fan since I was old enough to watch TV and have been a Henson fan since the age of 8 (I am now 28). From the pics Gonzo looks good enough for me to want to own one. That's it. If people don't like it they don't have to buy...
