    It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Appreciation Thread!

    I agree with most of that. I loved VMX, but my main gripe is the lack of musical numbers. The stage was set and the whole project was ripe for it but we got very little of that. I can't imagine what they were thinking. :confused:

    Does anyone use Splenda?

    The lobbyists here have made it impossible to get away from corn syrup. Sugar is over-taxed too. This all happened a little before my time and it has grown as big as the waistlines of this country's youth. Finally people are seeing the connection. Chemicals make me wary too, but nutrition...

    Anybody ambidextrous?

    I'm right handed, but have always favored that as my watch-wearing hand too. It's odd, yet feels right to me. Over a decade ago I lost the use of my right hand for half a year or so due to a mishap and learned to draw with my left hand. It's slower and choppier, but I can do it. Heck, I'd...

    Anybody like sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds?

    Pumpkin seeds helped cure my smoking addiction many years ago. I still like them from time to time. Sunflower seeds have a bit too much sharpness to the shell for my taste. Cracking into them is a little scrapey. Pumpkin seeds are softer and have a mellower sort of taste to them. Even the crispy...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 3

    Fine idea, but dreadful Photoshopping on that new cover. It's all so cut-and-paste monkeywork farmed out to a low cost designer. I'd really like to see the Disney artists get their hands on this stuff. Well, if there are any left. Anyway, that picture appears on the inside of the DVD sets for...

    It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Appreciation Thread!

    I couldn't agree more. There has been a sort of void left by Jim that seems to have gotten better just recently. The Muppets have never been given such a chance to grow and thrive as they have now. MCC is rather gloomy. I like it, but favor MTI. The reason I liked VMX so much is that it...

    It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Appreciation Thread!

    I was always on board When it came out in 2002 I posted this brief review. I actually remember giving it an A-, but I still feel the solid B I actually gave still holds true. Not-so-hot Points: It was a little too somber and that threw the usual Muppety feeling off-balance. There were not...

    Does anyone use Splenda?

    :search: The real culprit behind bad health and the need for alternative sweeteners is corn syrup. That's the stuff that should never enter the human body. In fact, corn itself isn't a healthy food. It has fiber, but little more than that and lots of sugar. It is fine to eat as a sometimes food...

    25th Anniversary Follow That Bird Edition!

    At least he's quiet and in the corner. :p

    What show does this Mickey cel come from?

    The yellow gloves and younger stature of the Mouse throw me off a bit. It could be a scene from some past program shown at one of the parks. Wish I could help more.

    Stay 'tooned: Disney gets 'Oswald' for Al Michaels

    And I have a beautiful Oswald statue purchased from the now defunct SF Disney Store in February to accompany my DVD set. Disney really did win big here. I'm not a sports guy but people I know watch programs for the events and not the commentators. To me it’s like trading Mary Hart for the...

    Muppet Poser Tour?

    I do like the Muppets Take My Home Town title, but whatever you decide I'll make a logo for this tour if you'd like one. I might even see if I can contribute some more Muppet pictures in San Francisco, but no promises on that part. :o

    Favorite Quizno's Sub?

    I love their sauce. I get extra. :p Tasty toasty. There is something in Subway sandwiches from a few shops (not all, oddly enough) that makes me sick though so I can relate to that. It might just be certain franchise holders. However, I'm a bread narcoleptic so Quiznos is a once in a long...

    Main Forum link doesn't work (for me)

    I found the problem, but what's the solution? I have discovered the reason for the main page issue on some browsers/computers. When I type in "muppetcentral.com" by itself on a few select systems the links are not always active in the Flash menu. However, every time I add the Ws as in...

    Gripe about the Current Miss Piggy Puppet

    It really is the whole design that's off. Her eye placement has really gone downhill. Her lahshes used to have more depth and there used to be just much more of a spark to them. It really is a puppet building issue. There are some shots in the new special where she looks good and others that...

    Kermit's Swamp Years

    I understand what's being said. I gave it a chance and just don't like it. There are too many things for me to overlook along with what I view to be pandering to younger auds that I just don't find Muppety. I mentioned the finer moments to be fair. I find KSY to be an exercise in mediocrity...

    Kermit's Swamp Years

    Exactly. The one thing missing from KSY is -more- adult appeal mixed in with the rest. Most of the Muppet Show cast films and specials have that component. It's the central remark in nearly every review I've read on this DVD. I don't always agree with critics (especially when it comes to...

    Disney greenlights "The Muppet Show" comics

    I'm not a big fan of his Beaker yet, but his backdrops and Pigs and Space stuff are excellent. The Muppet facial elements are all about simplicity and that can be translated into comic form. I guess some of these designs get into the most trouble when those elements are over-complicated with...

    Muppet Poser Tour?

    How about "The Muppets Take My Home Town" as a title. It has the same sound as the MTM title.

    Muppet Poser Tour?

    I already did my part and supported Gonzo at a toy store in downtown San Francisco. Posted about it and everything. That's about all I am able to do at the moment, but he did appear there for two whole days. :concern:
