Over at Muppet Newsflash there's a new article about the new Henson created kid's show "Sid the Science Kid" (once "What's the Big Idea?"). It appears the name isn't the only thing to get a makeover. Sid, the star, has also received some tweaking. This is geared to inspire kids in areas of...

I shy away from projecting hard and fast rules on anyone. Every case is different and people (wherever they are in their health) need different things. It's good to look at all the options. My only problem is that certain solutions that work for some people have become the instant go-to for...

I like the flocking. I'm glad somebody finally tried it, but I still prefer the current nose the poser came with. It's not perfect but it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I know it's been said that these posers are being geared to the lowest common denominator hence some of...

Beautiful work! You should certainly send a photo to the show. I also checked out the fantastic work on your site. I like that you show the character sketches and the process of making these artworks. You are definitely very talented. And (as a graphic designer) your logo is one of the best...

And don't for get the distracting and problematic blonde hair he has in those pictures. He seemed more like a club-kid's costume party Fred. I'm showing my age here, but I remember when Tiffany (even then a pop-star past her prime) replaced the regular performer for Judy Jetson in their...

I wish they'd put Family Dog on DVD. Some of the 10 episodes did make it to VHS and of course there's the Amazing Stories episode where it started. I think it could happen in light of all that's been released these days.

Oops, in my post I omitted a word by mistake. My laptop gets a little tweaky sometimes. I said, "I agree with singling just out one over the others." but I meant that I don't agree with singling just out one perspective over the others. Sorry about that. I think anyone reading it got what I'd...

Um...that's not why any Buffy fan I've met likes the program I would admit it if true, but I'm unfortunately not that geeky a guy (except when it comes to Muppets). Odd, but not geeky per say - and my libido swings the other way so Gellar's hotness factor doesn't phase me. She's okay, I...

That was quite funny. Snarky, but funny. I always found those introductions problematic. It would have made more sense (and been funnier) to have one of Brian's characters like Sal the Monkey do those intros and poke fun at himself not being there at the time or made up elaborate stories. Just...

I second that. The Muppets were designed with certain abstract elements that connect with viewers from all walks of life. :hungry: Religious folk see Christmas holiday programs and a reverence from the characters referencing something larger than them. Others see their connection to...

I just wish I still had the pictures from the Muppets Take Manhattan exhibit in Central Park. They actually had a whole film about the Muppeteers performing the babies puppets from ceiling, floor-level and underneath. They also had some puppets. It was a very long time ago around the time of the...

I've generally been speaking about most of the Muppet Babies run, some on CBS some on Nick. The classic Muppet characters weren't as constant as the Muppet Babies for quite some time. Without splitting hairs, that's what I'm saying. They had the higher profile for a very long time. It both...

I think several things were getting lumped together there. On another note, projects like the Henson Hour and Muppets Tonight didn't take off. Muppet Christmas Carol (received some acclaim) and Muppet Treasure Island didn't fare well at the box office. There was a void for many years of...

For a particular generation - one that I have continually been referring to- it was the only current project on the air (even in syndication and taking Sesame out of the equation of course). I'm speaking more of the -->late 80s-early 90s<-- not early-to-mid 80s as you have stated. :rolleyes...

The writing and style don't bother me as much as the poor quality of the character animation and irritating voice work. I'm not bashing it (as was stated in a later post). Taste doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing proposition (though it does appear to happen a lot). The program also had many...

I used to feel the same way. Have you watched a few Buffys in sequential order? The writing is sharp. It is intended to be campy and often makes fun of itself. It would definitely go in my mid-top 50 along with The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, I Love Lucy, Law & Order, Gilmore Girls, Invader Zim...

That happens all too often these days with the under 25 set. Sure, they grew up with the internet and cellphones (smaller than a brick) but Muppet Babies were their main window into the Muppet world. :sympathy: At least it kept the brand alive and stirred the imagination. :)

It's also a budget concern. Morsels or episode cuts? I think Disney should release a companion book kind of like Henson is making with Fraggle Rock. Much of the morsel interruptions had little to do with what was on screen at that particular time anyway and some were irrelevant to the show...

Alvin and the Chipmunks has been out 12 weeks and has made over $213 million to date. It is ranked as number 72 of the highest grossing pictures of all time. Now, of course, you must figure ticket prices etc, but it was 20th Century Fox's biggest grosser last year! It wasn't the best film, but...

That mode of thinking with the auto industry isn't really giving us healthier cars and people have to drive places. It can't be left up to the companies’ discretion in my opinion. We really should be driving electric cars (that run on less fossil fuel than any car or hybrid on the market) but...
