Regarding the teaser poster-- Eh. It's ok. Nothing to get excited about. Not sure if I'll bother seeing this movie in the theater, or if I'll just wait for it to come on tv. There hasn't really been any particularly good muppet stuff in quite a long time, so I'm not feeling overly...

I just saw this video (yeah, I know I'm a bit late...) Wow, it sucked. I loved the original BR music video they did, but this commentary one is pretty lousy. I didn't laugh once. I didn't even crack a smile. My girlfriend and I just glanced at each other a few times, rolled our eyes, and...

Cool, thanks for the info. Like I started this thread saying-- I have no problem with the voice or the mannerisms, really. My problem is with the writing. So I don't fault Steve for that at all. I just don't particularly care for the role the writers choose for Kermit these days. Also, I...

I wasn't here three months ago, so I missed that. When/how/why did Disney try to replace Steve?

AH, ok, so maybe it's just a generational thing. I was born long before you guys (1974). I remember when the Muppet Show first came on the air, and I remember watching the skits on Sesame Street when Kermit would get ****** off with Grover, and when Bert looked a lot meaner, etc. Maybe that's...

I don't know if it's character development so much, or if it's an attempt to sanitize things a bit. Look how they cut out Kermit's line on the TMS Season 1 Promo ("What the **** was that?") That wasn't because of character development, that was because somebody thought the line was too much...

I never saw that, but that's exactly the sort of thing they should be doing. Thinking back on the Muppet Show-- back then, if Gonzo did a lousy act, Kermit would likely be flapping his arms around, yelling at him to "GET OFF THE STAGE! ARRGHHHH!" These days, he'd put a comforting arm...

And no, I'm not talking about the voice or anything, I'm talking about the personality. What happened to the Kermit from the 70s? The frog who was always getting frazzled, losing his temper, flapping his arms around, screaming at his fellow muppets, curling his lip in disdain, blatantly...

Actually, nobody paid Whoopie. That was kind of a cop-out scene. The muppets realized they didn't have money, and then it cuts to a shot of them in the airport. Presumably they just stiffed her, but we'll never know.

I'm kind of surprised to see a few being being disappointed that Gonzo was main character. Hasn't that pretty much been the case since Jim Henson died? In MCC, Gonzo and Rizzo pretty much carried the whole thing (as the narrators), and Muppets From Space was entirely about Gonzo. I can't...

I completely agree. I can deal with the voice being different. ****, Steve's been doing the voice long enough, I'm used to it and it sounds fine. I would prefer that the mannerisms be a bit closer to how Jim did them, but it's not a big deal. But what I don't like is that the spirit of the...

Ok, I haven't posted here since 2003, but I'm back... (I'm sure everyone is just thrilled.) Anyway, overall, I thought it was a pleasant show. Not astounding, but hey, I'm in my 30s, the Muppets probably shouldn't seem astounding to someone in their 30s anyway. My one main gripe, not...

Ah, and would Yoda be CGI or muppet? It would be hilarious to see a CGI Yoda battling a CGI Piggy, but I doubt we’ll be that lucky! I think the actors should play their characters, but they should overplay them, particularly Amidala. She was pretty wooden in The Phantom Menace, and Portman...

I was kidding! Wow, I didn't think anyone would believe that for a second. Still, you gotta admit, it WOULD be pretty funny...

Anyone remember that SS skit from the mid 70s when Ernie kept pestering Bert, and Bert finally turned to him and said, “God Dam**it Ernie, stop being such an as…” but he was strategically cut short by the doorbell ringing. They never show that clip anymore, which is a shame because it was...

I think the talk show idea has the most potential. Kermit could interview celebrity guests, and of course, the interviews would always be interupted and go way off topic. Electric Mayhem would be the band, and there would have to be a back stage crew (with Crazy Harry in charge of...

Cool, thanks for all the info. Somebody else just told me the character was called Lord Chatterly. Was that a different character?

If the Muppet Show was still on today, do you think the new batch of Star Wars stars (Nat Portman, Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christiansen) would be willing to mock themselves as well as Mark Hamill did when he was a guest? I think that would make a really fun episode. Either, we'd get to see...

It's one of those things that have the odd effect of being both depressing and inspiring at the same time. Depressing because Jim Henson dies, but inspiring because it makes you realize just how valuable Jim was to so many people's lives. I only saw the show once, but I don't mind telling you...
