Burton's Batmans, while enjoyable, have less to do with the source material and more to do with Burton's whim. He proudly professes to have never read a comic book and has even come off to many fans as judgmental to those who do. Tim Burton is a genius. His Edward Scissiorhands is one of my...

Here is an high-res abbreviated scan of my Jim Henson & Friend pencil drawing tribute that was entered into the www.muppetnewsflash.com calendar contest last year. This is my way of saying how much I love Jim Henson. :)

I will third. Man, it took me a long time to start posting when I came to Muppet Central many years ago and once I finally did there were some people who weren't all that kind to me. Some have become buddies, most are gone. I have also known what it's like to have real troubles with some...

I agree that statement could influence some of her viewers. It is my hope that those viewers would still tune in to seeing her on Studio DC and fall in love with the Muppets. They are irresistible! The Muppets can also perform live with great skill...unlike what I've heard about other popular...

I can get a little abrasive around the edges at times, but I didn't see anything in your posts close to that. As long as we know there's mutual respect there's nothing to be sorry about. Certainly not from your posts. No worries! I think a lot of people have been on edge lately. Must be the...

This shows how much the world needed Jerry Juhl's work with the Fraggles and the Muppets. He tempered cynicism with acceptance. His work has a balance that isn't cheap or cheesy. It simply works and grabs on to the good bits in all of us. These freshman writers would do themselves a service to...

Another Dark Knight rave! Your review is spot-on. This truly is as if Batman resides in the real world. I also agree that this film is PG-13 for a reason. Maybe it should have been R rated but I think that most of the under 12 crowd should have their parents decide if this film is right for...

Heck, they should give Pancake his/her own show!

Thanks, I just didn't want to be misunderstood about my respect for tree of TVs icons of yesterday. Television is a tough medium. I remember when the Disney Channel first started and they had all sorts of programming. Yeah, there was the somewhat garish costumed kids show Dumbo's Circus in...

I kind of thought the climax scene had a needlessly snarky take on the world of puppetry from a pair of very inexperienced writers. It also seemed a little sloppy and slapped-on. Other than that I kind of liked the idea of a psychotic puppeteer. Without the rather mean-spirited sentiment spewed...

The Murphy Brown episode was a long time ago (in 1996, I believe) and it was quite funny at the time. I couldn't find it on YouTube. Neither that particular show nor the series was about making fun of kids programming in any way. It wasn't some type of fad either really. In fact, the incident...

I watched it. :wisdom: It appears to be a spoof of Lamb Chop and the perpetually perky Sherri Lewis. I know many around these boards that disagree with me, but to be honest as a kid I didn't particularly care for her or Mister Rogers. I felt their programs weren't designed to have much appeal...

If I'm not mistaken, Hannah Montana is for kids, not puppets. How can her writers not know that?

Okay, first off - there are still Mr. Gatti's in the world? I used to love their pizza as a kid! :insatiable: I hope to see the episode up on YouTube. I was thinking the episode would be tounge-in-cheek rather than a slap in the face to the world of puppetry. Who knows? Either way it's the...

:excited: This is the Muppet event of the year! A live Red Fraggle performance. Wish I could see it in person. Have the Fraggles ever done anything live like this? Wow! :busy:

I think we all misuse the schizophrenic term. Thanks for clearning that up. The Joker is my favorite comic book character. Poor fella's just misunderstood. He he. ;)

I agree. The crafted soundstage sets for MTI and MCC are beautiful, but they just don't beat Fozzie Bear talking to a herd of cows. "Of course I've heard of cows!" :o

Hmm...I can see that. I always noted schizophrenics as beeing the ones who change their tonality of voice with different situations. Well that and "cocktail personalities" he he. We all know those types. They can be even scarrier. This film is appropriately titled the Dark Knight and the...

The brief frogboy review. The Dark Knight Overall :) I saw the Dark Knight last Friday evening and was blown away. I hardly noticed the time as two hours and thirty-two minutes rolled by. That is rare for me. There is absolutely nothing I would cut from the picture, but Nolan did give much...
