Great trailer! I laughed several times. Also, more confirmation of obscure and newer characters. In addition to Bobo, Pepe makes an appearance. And the "arches" opening (whatever you call the part in the theme where the characters sing "most sensational, inspirational..." etc.) is full of...

Thanks to MWoO, Grumpo, and LittleJerry92 for some great additional insight! It's hard to compare the reaction to Steve's Kermit with the reaction to Matt's Kermit, because the internet was just getting going in those days. I do know that at the time, I really only knew one person who liked...

I agree with MWoO. (I'm about to share some concerns, but please keep in mind that I have positive things to say at the end.) I had hoped things had settled enough between Disney and Steve by this point that they might offer him the chance to reprise his own roles even if he doesn't get Kermit...

I'm not as excited about this possibility as I am about the TMS revival. With talk of Piggy being "cancelled," it sounds like there might be a political edge to the story that could potentially be divisive for audiences. Also, it sounds very similar to the "Muppets" 2015 series episode "A Tale...

I'm guessing that Scooter will do the cold open for the first time out, but if this goes to series, hopefully we'll see Pops (and Bobo!). "Muppets Tonight" had the right idea that not every episode had to have the same opening. Great question about Thog. I have no clue! I guess we'll see. I...

Some intriguing developments over the last couple of weeks... As you all know, Disney continues to do its #Muppets70 celebration on Facebook by posting a different picture of a Muppet every week. Within the last month, they've celebrated Gaffer as well as George the Janitor...and they were...

Many happy returns to MC's commander in chief. :) Hope it's a good one!

My jaw dropped to the floor when I heard this news. Never in a million years would I expect Disney to bring back TMS after all this time! Like many of you, I'm cautiously optimistic. The Mouse House hasn't had a great track record with Kermit and the gang, but Seth Rogen is really funny. If...

My feelings are rather mixed on this. Of course, I don't want Disney t3o ever remove this masterpiece. It's Jim Henson's final project! And there's no other way to go see it. And the Animation Courtyard is sitting empty behind MV3D, so Disney could have put the new stuff there. Also, it's not...

Sorry I'm a day late on this. Hope it was a good one! I hope some folks here can show some love to the founder of this site. :)

Oh, wow. This is the first I've heard of it. I met Mar (and her husband Michael) at Muppet Fest many years ago. Very sweet (both of them). My condolences to Michael and others who knew Mar.

Many happy returns to the founder of this site. Sorry I'm a few days late on posting this. Blessings to you and Cindy!

I think this was a choice for the best, but not for the reasons that most reporters are saying. I think Chapek had actually been too politically aggressive, attacking the values that many Disney audiences hold. The company paid the price; despite owning a literal 2/3 of the entertainment...

Hard to believe it's been 3 decades since MCC's release. Just in time for that, of course, D+ released a version in 4K and with "When Love is Gone" restored to the movie in widescreen! I can understand those who didn't see the song in the theater feeling like it stands out like it doesn't...

Apologies - I didn't see your post until just now. Hope your birthday was a great one!

It was actually something of a surprise when I learned this, as I hadn't realized he was still so actively involved. The 2010s theatrical movies and the 2015 "Muppets" TV series didn't seem to feature any contributions from him at all. I guess it just goes to show how much uncredited writing...

Sorry I'm a few days late on this, but happy to Phillip Chapman, the founder of the site! Hope it was a great one.

What a fantastic time that was! Seeing the Muppet performers in person; watching them perform their iconic characters on stage; hearing them ad-lib hilarious answers to fans' questions in character; and wrapping up the whole thing with a 2-hour live show on the final night -- the whole thing was...

Hope your birthday was a most sensational, Muppetational one, Phillip!

Wow, a lot of great replies! Thanks, everyone. (Sorry I didn't jump in earlier. I always forget that email notifications for this forum go to an old email address, so I don't see them.) Muppet Master: I agree that the show was far from perfect, but there were a lot of wonderful moments and...
