Now it's time for me to get a...

    Questions about Muppet Babies in general

    So this animation studio did Tiny Toons and Animaniacs? Japanize not North Korea? WOW, I've noticed that some of the 90s Disney and Warner Bros TV shows and how well animated they were. Then technically most 90s Cartoons were so well animated. Though about 90% worthed with Rough Draft Studios...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    I just had one last night that I was on a cruse ship with the classic Muppeteers and I guess I was kind of looking like Steve Whitmire with long blonde hair and a bit of a beard and I see Dave Golez climbing up to the crows next to perform Gonzo singing his trademark song from The Muppet Movie...

    Questions about Muppet Babies in general

    That was the Japanize animation studio right? Yeah, their animation seemed better, I was going to point out that probably later in the show the animation seemed stiff and like you said a low frame rate. Also how the mouths tended to stop half way instead of the mouth fully closing. I notice that...

    Your Thoughts: The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss

    I see what you mean, I grew up around Season 1 myself. :) Around the same time when Muppets Tonight was around. Oh gee I must have been close to 8 or 10 around that time. :) Nickelodeon was really good back then. :)

    Your Thoughts: The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss

    For me, I liked Season 1 much better personally. I like anthology stuff :) And I thought Season 1 was aimed more at families in general, very G rated. But Season 2 took the shift of the show becoming a pre-school show which I felt kind of ruined it for me because I was a loyal viewer when it...

    Jim Henson Company lawsuit to Wimzie's House over the artform of film puppetry in 1999?

    I haven't seen Arthur in awhile. I remember they did an episode spoofing South Park and Beavis & Butt-head, amazing how they got away with spoofing adult animation in a children's show animated program. lol I remember watching Wimzie's House and Growling Marsh when it was on PBS, it's cool to...

    Jim Henson Company lawsuit to Wimzie's House over the artform of film puppetry in 1999?

    Just watched an episode online, they had one of the characters pick up a hamonica that was on the ground outside and putting back in their mouth, no problem. lol Then a character who is fasinated by dirt, and the youngest looking in the garbage can because she thinks a fish ran away. The episode...

    Favorite Season of the Muppet Show

    I personally think that the show got better per season, so if asked the question. Seasons 2-5. Season one seemed sort of tame to me, plus I don't like Hilda. I thought she was kind of mean to Fozzie and Gonzo which both didn't have much self confidence at the time. Still there was some great...

    Peter Sellers

    lol Looks like Crazy Harry snuck into Muppet Labs. lol Yeah, it's hard to tell because he's very straight faced when he's funny and that usually is the best way to be a comic, doing something over the top silly with a straight face. lol Definatly one of my all time favorite Muppet Show episodes...

    Peter Sellers

    Right, well what I was mainly asking was well technically any guest that was on The Muppet Show had a really good time behind the scenes and just wondering after seeing the Peter Sellers drama-documentry if he didn't enjoy himself according to what he was going through in his life. Anything...

    Questions about Muppet Babies in general

    Well I didn't technically mean anything in terms of kid potential, just how Jim did business to fund the more bigger and better projects and such. I think the reason why there's barely any adult puppetry is mainly because puppets are expensive and unfortunately it seems like our culture is so...

    Questions about Muppet Babies in general

    Yeah, I'm not sure if that was Jim's intention to do so with The Muppets because there was a few things aimed at kids using The Muppet Show characters but at the same time later there was Muppets Take Manhattan, The Jim Henson Hour; MuppeTelevision halfs of the show and The Muppets Go To Walt...

    One thing that annoyed me in "The Muppets"

    I don't think I was bothered by the billboard, I figure since it's Disney they might sneak some adverts of their other work in there from time to time I guess. Troma does the same thing. But yeah, I can see how that can be irritating. Though in The Muppets, the fart shoes thing still makes me...

    Peter Sellers

    I just got this question back in my mind again. I wanted to ask this for a long time here. In the movie "Life and Death of Peter Sellers" if anyone seen this or read or heard of his biographies, it seems like Peter Sellers by the 60s and 70s wasn't happy doing comedy anymore but he forced...

    Favorite Kermit Voice Actor? Jim Henson or Steve Whitmire?

    Jim, Steve is a great Kermit but there's a difference. Steve's Kermit is more energetic while Jim's Kermit evolved to be more mature and very adult human like which really gaves me the impression that Kermit is human. Kermit also had more of an anger management problem which I really miss about...

    Ernie and Bert Play Clothes

    I remember long ago as a kid, there was these play clothes made of plastic or fabric, I can't remember to clearly, They were the Ernie and Bert shirts with a logo with Ernie and Bert looking out, almost like a printed badge. Anyone remember these? What company made them?

    TV Alert: Frank Oz on The Colbert Report November 28

    Personally I liked What About Bob. But like Death at a Funeral, they require a more dark morbid sense of humor. Like for example Bob is this extremely causious guy and no one ever explains why he bacause that way. He has a pet goldfish in a jelly jar that he turned into a necklace and he goes to...
