The Muppet Show brand devolved for nearly two decades. It got lost in a twilight stage of not being Sesame children's entertainment or being perceived as the smart humor troupe of characters from the 80s. Kids either didn't identify with them or felt they were to old for them. Since kids drive...

My birthday was a couple weeks ago (April 4th) but it took a while to figure out the best option on the Cinitq. I'm glad to hear you use one. What in particular makes it difficult to set up? It's just an extra monitor that plugs in like a mouse right? Or are all the installation bits...

I don't see what is so funny about the interviewer's loud, aggressive and rude ranting. It's not comedy - it's lazy and panders to an audience that thinks trying too hard to appear uneducated and being disrespectful is cool. I hope this is not what the future holds for entertainment. Elmo...

I'm fairly good with a mouse and have kept with that for a while because Wacom felt foreign to me. I gave up on it in a couple minutes' time. But now my spectacular birthday gift this year (coming7 soon in the mail) is the 12.1" Wacom Cintiq. I couldn't afford the larger one, but this seems like...

Idealism is great, but few people are likely to join a revolution if it results in higher prices for goods and services. Most people shy away from the unpleasant. That's human nature. Working against the grain should be the last option after everything else has been attempted. People are driven...

I don't know their labor practices, but I shop for non-label bits and pieces at H&M and mix them with a bit of Levis (now made overseas too), but its reasonable quality for not so much money. Flashy brand labels are back in a big way and it's kind of gross. The little alligator is back on shirts...

Yeah, but a hybrid doesn't cost 4 or more times as much. I literally sell action figures in a store and know first hand what most people will spend. Believe it or not - quality has less to do with it than brand. I also know the cost of manufacturing from North America to China and it is very...

It's actually a low amount of toys that were tainted - - however one is too many. But this isn't a new problem, it is one older than we are that has evolved this far. Still, out of curiousity, you didn't answer the question - would you or anyone you know buy what we now consider a $7.99...

Was he caught stealing? :o Okay, bad joke. Still, very cool. Just too steep for me. :super:

I guess the Studio DC thing worked. I've been in the store today and I moved around the Muppet merchandise we have (a First Mate Piggy Swinetrek set, two mini MCC sets, two Super Scooters, several Johnny Fiamas, and a Beauregard along with a display Tux Gonzo) together into a new section nearer...

Do you remember when Walmart stores were all about being "Made in America" as far as both products and their company? They've always been a bottom-line company, but they are the largest culprit behind outsourcing and cheap materials. Still, would you be willing to pay $29.99 for a $7.99...

For someone interested in not firing workers and lower prices this statement just doesn't make practical sense in the US marketplace. A figure made in America will cost at least 4 times more than made in China. American companies have health care and other benefits to contend with and there are...

Already fantastic with the potential to be the finest representation of the pig in years. The wavy hair is a nice alternative to the flat look the puppet now wears. I can't even imagine painting curls! I have found that making the hair slightly curlier at her shoulders is a pretty good method in...

"Amazing! ! ! !" :D - and the bunny is perfect too. He's such a good companion for Animal. How goes the pig? She's going to be the most difficult. Are you saving her for last?

You know, it would have been nice to have themed menus for each season - Electric Mayhem, Muppet Labs, Pigs in Space, Muppet Monsters etc. It would be so cool to have Dr Teeth and the band banter in the menus. :D

"Too true." - :D I feel the crunch. I really do. Being a creative field I know first hand that many people don't take such hard work seriously unless it's about shuffling legal documents or brain surgery. But to be honest, too many people in creative fields like graphic design are mediocre...

It must cost an amazing amount of money to run the parks. A figure that is incomprehensible to us. There's also the price of maintenance, insurance and heightened security since 911. That's a lot. I'm sure the bean counters know enough of the park's history to predict how lower entry fees will...

I'm sure there were many valued longtime employees that they did keep. More than they let-go. Who knows how and why all these particular decisions are made? The Jim Henson Company has made staff cuts under Jim and after and many of the employees were undoubtedly valued. It bites. It's also how...

They're just crummy cell pics and I can't take the book out of the store, but I'm sure they'll make the rounds soon. The rubber masks are the same ones up on the wiki and 80s tees (except for the full body shots).

I think they are all sizes. I know we've all heard of the costumes from the Newsflash, but the catalog pictures have now officially popped up so that's new news I suppose.:coy:
