They keep getting better and better..... Wow! Stayed up last night to finish it and all I can say is...WOW! I didn't know if people would be giving away plot points on the board so I stayed away while I was reading the book and now I need to discuss it! But in looking over posts, it looks like...

Mrs. Fields cookies I've also seen Elmo and Cookie Monster cookies at Mrs. Fields in the malls out here in So. Cal. I haven't tasted them, but just LOOKING at the amount of icing almost sent me into a sugar coma... Jennifer :p

Adding to the list... Okay, DVDs to buy in August.... Chicago LOTR -Two Towers Storyteller And the money keeps rolling out.... Jennifer (a little annoyed at myself for giving up on release of Storyteller to DVD's and buying the video versions not too long ago...) While on the...

Yes! I'd love a Sweetums that could sit (or stand) on my desk next to the picture of me & Sweetums from MuppetFest. People have strange reactions when they see it. Some sort of recognize him and ask where the picture was taken. Other people have no clue and ask who IS that? Is it strange...

Okay, generally I don't care a bit about the personal lives of the performers whose work I respect, I just want to see the work, but today a co-worker said she heard that Frank Oz and Carrie Fisher were married. That seems like a rather strange match to me. Is this true? I'm thinking no way...

Call me a cynic, but... I'm not sure I'd believe it if someone said they were one of the Muppet performers. Anyone could post on a web board saying they were someone else. The anonymity of the internet makes it difficult to take anything anyone says seriously. Jennifer

Okay, I know I'm behind, but I was finally able to justify the extravagance of buying the Muppet Show DVDs from Time-Life. It took me a while to talk myself into it, and I didn't spend the extra money for the last five discs (now regretting it) but I LOVE THEM!!!!! I'm savoring them, only...

Congratulations graduates!!! Congratulations to all graduates. I graduated from Cal State last June, and after being out of school for a year, I find I'm bored to tears, but unwilling to make the commitment a Masters will take.... Jennifer

I just read an article on Yahoo about Reading Rainbow balancing on a precipice. The show has been in danger of disappearing. The article said that last year they only made 4 new episodes. Apparently since there is nothing to license (characters, etc...) and the show appeals to a very small...

I think a Muppet Halloween special would be fun. I'd rather see a new weekly show, but in the absence of such a thing, I'll take what I can get. Halloween is my favorite holiday, and one of the best things about the Simpsons is that they consistently do a Halloween special. I'd like to see...

It's the newest one, dated May 23. The cover is the 50 top cult movies. I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but is part of the Henson Co.'s problem less demand for puppetry now that CGI is so advanced? I'm thinking a character like Gollum from Lord of the Rings might have been a...

I just got my Entertainment Weekly in the mail and there is a small article that is not too complimentary about the idea of the Hensons managing the company. Basically, an un-named source who is "close to the company" says that they had a sky-high overhead and refused to ever fire anybody. I...

Excellent idea! Save Sesame Street! We could have a telethon to raise money!

Now its getting surreal.... Sesame Street characters no longer muppets....next thing you know, someone will be saying Yoda has been consumed by CGI....

Thanks Green, I never go in Hot Topic. It seems a little on the uber-trendy side for me, but now I'll have to check it out!

I had several Sesame Street watches from the Sesame Street Store (may it rest in peace) that I stupidly sold on ebay in a cleaning/money-grubbing/debt paying frenzy. Nobody seems to make watches with any of the muppet characters anymore. For a while Target was carrying the Fantasma line, but I...

Call me dense, but... Who preforms Baby Bear?

I'm with Beaker It's good news, and Jim seemed to do pretty well getting the muppets out there when he ran the company without Disney. I know the market has changed, but I think with the current state of the world we need the optimisim of the Muppets. Whatever side of the political fence...

The new show I'm wondering what is going to happen now with the new Muppet Show that was supposed to air this fall. Has anyone heard anything lately? Or did I just imagine the whole thing?
