I hear Karl Rove is looking for work. :p Kidding. Personally I'd like to see a David Letterman cameo as a cranky bad guy. I know that's far from likely, but I like him and he does have a kid. Lots of stars appear with Muppets for their kids.

Zim should have been on Cartoon Network along side shows like Venture Brothers. Talk about creative freedom. Zim's DVD special features talks about Jhonen Vasquez' deviation from traditional linear storytelling in favor of a more avant-garde approach. He had battles on many fronts, but it is a...

I think a sense of jeopardy is missing from the "Labyrinth" plot, but I personally consider "The Dark Crystal" as Jim's best film. However a lot of people felt conflicted about “Dark Crystal” and felt it needed to be Muppety. I like that it wasn’t. I don’t think there’d be a sequel to this if...

Oh, the communication area with MR was just my specific note. I wish they'd be a little more up front with us die-hard fans than they are, but they are short staffed and don't have anyone approaching Ken. It's unfair for me to even say that because that dude never sleeps! I'm serious, he...

I have to admit, I'm a Muppet fan first. The Muppet Show characters in particular have always meant so much to me. This is followed by Fraggle Rock, the fantasy film projects and Sesame Street of course. So I am a big fan of the world of Jim Henson, yet his Muppet gang has a remarkably special...

New execs keep their jobs by promoting their pet projects that usually replace other ones (even moderately popular ones). Spongebob is just good business, but it's 24/7 on Nick. I liked Invader Zim and feel that it had a place in the lineup along side the more popular spongey one, but was axed...

Frank did pretty much abandon his Muppet past for a future in directing. There's nothing wrong with that, of course. Oz gave so much to the Muppets over many years, but that's not at all what the body of my post reflected about Jim Henson: "[Jim] kept wanting to do new things, but didn't feel...

The Palisades days were fantastic, but many of us see them a bit rosier than the reality. The fact is that the entire series one line of Palisades Muppet Show figures were pushed back multiple times. Many waves were either too close together or too far apart and let's not forget the playset...

I think Jim was annoyed of only being associated with the Muppets. It caused him grief when the studio didn't like the Dark Crystal because they felt it was going to be a comedic Muppet fantasy picture or something. The Muppets were only one of the colors in his complete palette of creations. It...

I don't know why, but I am imagining a futuristic Peter Griffin dressed up like Jabba the Hutt right now. :D

June 27th is this weekend. Well, the weekend I was talking about. This Friday. Didn't mean to rush anyone's last lingering Sunday hours before the weekday grind. Sorry about that. He he. ;) By the way, here's a clip I found of the new short before the film.

Since I didn't see an official thread for the film and it's coming out this weekend I decided to start one. This thread is for anything and everything to do with “Wall-E” and its place in Pixar history, I suppose. I will make a bold prediction that the film will open at 70M this weekend...

That is fantastic. Good photos of the characters (except that one infamous group shot most fans don't care for) and great assortment. The only classic ones missing are Scooter, Sam and the other Mayhem members. Character assortments tend to change from season to season. Rizzo and Pepe were...

:coy: I think the Fraggles have always been underestimated by executives etc. The Fraggle Movie will be the first exposure to many people, but there's just something magnetic about them. I think this project will do just fine - possibly even opening at the top slot (considering what it is up...

I think this show was something Brian Henson and Bill Barretta put together to pass the time between projects. I think it's safe to consider it's been given a DNR order from all involved. :sympathy: More attention is being spent to the new Muppet movie, the Fraggle film and the struggling...

Well at least this film is on everybody's radar - even the faux fabulous (as I like to call them). Seriously, some people just try too hard to be interesting. They should all take a note from the frog - be yourself and good people will come around. It has worked for Kermit for over fifty years...

exactly ;)

Thanks for getting the information to us Terry! It now appears the earliest we can expect Fozzie in our homes is next spring. That's likely why Amazon up and cancelled the listing. I'm certain Travis has no intention of releasing a substandard Fozzie replica and that's a good thing. So much...

Comedy Central's site is always tweaky on my connection. It has to do with their Flash video streaming/embedding. It won't play. I wonder if their programmers are on the east coast? Internet technology always moves from left to right in this country. Oh, well. I'll drop their IT people an email...

Well yesterday Cookie Monster appeared on the Colbert Report and was fantastic. Despite still having to explain that cookies are a sometimes food and that, as an omnivore, he also eats veggies; Cookie was in top form! David Rudman does him justice! He was a little sarcastic when talking about...
