    No, this project is not being made. :sigh:

    Two Ball Waltz

    Hee, don't worry about it, we can wait for new chapter. Especially since next episode means Kermit trying to be the good guy and set Piggy up with the guy who was locked in Gulag 38B's prison sweatbox (or at least the actor who provided that character's singing voice). BTW: I have this thought...

    Wabbit: The new Looney Tunes series

    Funny you say that since I'm following a story on fanfiction.net titled Old Meets New which is basically the original SD gang brought into the Mystery Incorporated universe working as two teams towards the eventual showdown with Nabiru. The one thing I only sort of disagree with but let slide...

    Kermie's Girl (ushy-gushy fanfic)

    *Hugs Gina for finally coming back. Yes, Denise is the new pig's name. Funnily enough that gives us five female pigs part of the Muppets cast now. Everybody here pretty much expects the Kermit+Denise ship to be a temporary thing, they'll brake up, and then Kermit and Piggy will reunite...

    Wabbit: The new Looney Tunes series

    Not rully that impressed with Wabbit so far. Saw the shorts on Tuesday: St. Bugs and The Dragon was predictable, the one with Wile E. Coyote took me a while to figure out that was him, and the only thing that made me sort of laugh was Sam trying to rob/get on or into the internet. And they...

    The Muppets Episode 1 - Pig Girls Don't Cry (Pilot)

    The female mouse voiced by Melissa Manchester in The Great Mouse Detective wasn't a stripper, she was a lady entertainer/singer who went a costume change from meek little mouse to showgirl.

    September 24: Celebrating Jim Henson and Steve Whitmire

    Was already planning on celebrating today in Jim's honor by tuning in to MCR to listen to Muppet music. And I'm even more pleased to find it a Jim/Steve-thon in terms of the characters and songs featured, much as I enjoy each year's Jerry-thon tribute. Thanks for this Phil, keep up the good...

    Like I said, I could be wrong and confusing the two Elizabeth-named actresses. Guess I should head to Wiki before posting something like that. Meh. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. :skeptical:

    The Muppets Episode 1 - Pig Girls Don't Cry (Pilot)

    As for the celebrity guest stars in this episode.... Could be wrong about this, but the name Elizabeth Banks immediately equals the character Jesse Spanno which she portrayed in the iconic series Saved By The Bell. Yes? No? *Shrugs. :shifty:

    The Muppets Episode 1 - Pig Girls Don't Cry (Pilot)

    Something I hope gets added in future episodes is actual Muppet music. All we have is Imagine Dragons' "Rock Bottom". There was no theme song and I dunno if you could count Dr. Teeth's brief scatting or Dancing With the Czars as musical numbers.

    The Muppets Episode 1 - Pig Girls Don't Cry (Pilot)

    Er, I think it was... Scooter: "Kermit and I have worked together so long that I can anticipate when he gives me the look. And when he gives me the look, I have to go and ask him what it means." I'm pleasantly surprised by the number of Muppets that got moments in this first episode alone and...

    The Muppets Episode 1 - Pig Girls Don't Cry (Pilot)

    Thinking back and hearing her voice in my head, I agree with Erine81981, Denise is more of a country-style city girl. And her joke about the dinner she got shows she knows comedy. Another little thing that made me laugh/cheer was when Fozzie replied to Carl (Becky's dad) that he got his salmon...

    The Muppets Episode 1 - Pig Girls Don't Cry (Pilot)

    Actually, that's a good idea, maybe show or imply that Zoot is progressing through the rest of the twelve steps towards cleaning his act. Oh, and I liked the shot of :sing: and :flirt: talking about Imagine Dragons. Still don't know who that band is, but we got a moment of banter between the...

    BTW: Thanks for clearing up that was Bobo with Kermit in one of the BTS moments. Thought it was a scene taking place at Rowlf's Tavern, I'm looking forward to how that's used going forward. Also recognized some of the moments from the SDCC pilot made it into this first episode like Gonzo's...

    Hi guys. You were hexpecting me not to come in and add my own comments? 1 Good choice for a title, not sure if anyone besides me caught it as a reference to the song "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Frankie Avalon and The Four Seasons. 2 Loved Kermit's quote after parking his car, "time to get things...

    Kermie's Girl (ushy-gushy fanfic)

    Ima wondering if the recent brake-up or if even Denise will provide Scribbler with any fodder to keep his boss off his back, especially since Kermit's on his way to NYC to finally meet Piggy on Broadway. BTW: There's a viewing party for tonight in the HVC townhouse's common room.
