I don't have as much of a problem with Muppets/Henson on Cartoon Network because even though puppetry and animation are different fields, puppetry is still a TYPE of animation - the art of animating inanimate objects. They may be in the same family though it's a distant relationship - a cousin...

Not even two minutes - the debut episode clocked in at 1:07. Just good Hensonesque fun - if i could classify it, it would fall more in Henson's Alt division though there wasn't any kind of adult or blue humor or anything like that. I hate to say too much or give spoilers as i'm sure Henson...

I like a lot of groups that are fairly successful everywhere besides the US, so while many of them could fall in the "underrated" category here, the label doesn't apply as well in the rest of the world. But i would single out Dave Stewart (often credited as "David A. Stewart" to avoid...

Oh - i had forgotten about this - one of the all time best album of cover versions out there is a cd released around 1990 or 91 called Red Hot & Blue which was various artists doing cover versions of Cole Porter songs to benefit AIDS research/education. Nearly every track is a winner with my...

30 may be the new 20 (just as 40 is the new 30 which is why i don't share the same dread at turning 40) but that wasn't yet the case almost a decade ago. I saw the 30th mark as being an indication of where your life was going and if your dreams and goals were on track. The SST set is really...

The good ol' put in a six hour tape and let it run strategy worked. They showed it again and i got it. Now the question remains - are they rolling out new ones each week - at the same time?

(Sigh) The music video - such a wonderful art form when it's at its best (though many use it as just a "I have to do it"-slap-something-together waste of film). At one time i actually wanted to be a music video director but by the time i was in college, it was clear the genre was fading and...

You can't get/keep a job as a waiter because you can never overcome the urge to ask customers in your best Grover voice if they want the BIG hamburger or the LITTLE hamburger or run back to the kitchen yelling "Hey Charlie, we've got a weirdo at table four!"

(Mods, since this is "Henson" more than "Muppets" feel free to move it to a different category- didn't know which it should be in) Was caught up in "real life stuff" last night and forgot to tune into Cartoon Network for the debut of the first Henson Hot Dog TV short. Does anyone have any...

Hard for me to think of worst's - not that there aren't a healthy number to choose from but i try to put them out of my mind! But i can think of Jessica Simpson's "Take My Breath Away" - that was one of those times (of which there's been many) where i just cried hearing it and thinking "what...

Of course Amy herself can pop in anytime once she sees the discussion, so all my answers are educated guesses but things like that i'm sure would have been Roger. Not only was that more story, but that was all stuff i would have expected from him under "normal" circumstances of him doing the...

...and for all those years, no one had thought of solving that problem by making a quick trip to K Mart?

Just coming to this thread now, but since it's been wondered, here's what i'm thinking about it. It sounded just bizarre when i thought about it. Disney does own both ABC and SoapNet. While news about the soap genre dieing and declining ratings is rampant, SoapNet's actually done well with...

I'm guessing yes. When Roger writes his script, i'm sure he outlines the basic story but not all the details of the visuals which gives Amy her creative decisions - such as visual running gags or which characters to include in backgrounds - take the splash page of the first Family Reunion issue...

I know i've posted about this before but i've always thought it interesting that printed media often represents Beaker-speech as "meep"'s when the noises Beaker actually makes are more "mee"'s. I always fanwanked this as Beakerspeak having "silent P's". Jim is a good person to ask about this...

If the reports are true about Disney planning on the next Muppet Movie to be super huge and on the same scale as Toy Story 3 in terms of promotion - i think it's safe to say we'll be flooded with Muppet merchandise in late 2011-2012 of all sorts. I don't know if these would include action...

I may be too late (you didn't mention when your birthday is), but i think this is an awesome idea for a birthday party! My 30th birthday just happened to be during MuppetFest so that really made it special (especially since i had been so scared of my 30th birthday for so many years before)...

Count me among those who hasn't yet gone the ipod route and listen to stuff on cd, tape and vinyl.

I actually hold a different opinion. I loved season one. But season two felt two pre-schoolerized. Season one seemed to have that classic quality to it that could be enjoyed by all ages and Bruce Lanoil's Cat had that slick quality that i associate with the Cat in the Hat. Season two wasn't...

Things can always change but just via the original set being labeled "volume 1" indicates plans to at the very least have a "volume 2". Given what made up the first set, i don't even care to think about what it might consist of as i'd love to be surprised when the announcement does ultimately...
