    Are the Muppets as popular as they were 30 to 40 years ago?

    He's got a fair amount of time on his hands I assume.

    Are the Muppets as popular as they were 30 to 40 years ago?

    The phrasing that they are willing to release classic content seems like they arent planning on it. I mean, i am sure they are willing to do many things they dont have planned. I feel like working at Muppet Studios is currently the most boring job there is. Even the Jim Henson Company is at...

    Are the Muppets as popular as they were 30 to 40 years ago?

    Ill believe it when i see it. Frankly, id rather see the effort put into new content that us true to form. I find it odd that with politics being hotter than ever, Sam Eagle is no where to be seen. If they want to build buzz and get attention a political show hosted by dam Eagle that is a...

    Words words words

    Anyone who can give them the snarky yet good natured wit they once had. The Muppets 2015 had some good snark, but was often mean snark. We need more if that only without mean spiritedness. But we cant go full goody goody either. For example. In TM15 the original opening ended with Kermit...

    Are the Muppets as popular as they were 30 to 40 years ago?

    MFS was just a poorly done movie. The story was weak, it was a time before many recasts were done, and there was no Johnny Fiama!:skeptical: For one, you cant actually answer the question of Gonzo's origin. His whole character is that he is a weirdo who is unlike anyone else. You can explore...

    Are the Muppets as popular as they were 30 to 40 years ago?

    MMW made back it's production budget, but a rule of thumb is that movies spend as much on advertising as they do on the production. Plus, you need to consider the movie theaters cut. It made 80 mil world wide, but that is gross not net. And as Mr. Price said, in terms of profit, you gotta be...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Toy Fair is n Feb. If they show Dr. Teeth and Zoot at Toy Fair then we will see them released. If not.... probably not. It seems Diamond wants to release them, but not if it means they loose money. That's basically why they released the Chef first. Out of all the series 4 figures, he has...

    The Muppets to appear in Carpool Karaoke: The Series Season 2!

    Also, either the Gonzo puppet is REALLY restrictive and in need of a rebuild, or Dave is having a hard time performing. Edit: Also...not really liking Piggy. I've been watching a lot of old Muppet stuff and really miss the old Miss Piggy, back when she didn't flip out every five seconds.

    The Muppets to appear in Carpool Karaoke: The Series Season 2!

    This was pretty good for what the show is. I have a feeling that Disney is trying to slowly introduce Matt as Kermit to general audiences. We all have heard plenty of him, but there are still a lot of people that have yet to get use to him. Hopefully once Disney feels that the general...

    My New Project - Mini Santa Chef Figure/Ornament

    Update: For those who are still interested... More or less the complete scene. Snow on the ground, reindeer chicken (subject to change), bag of flour (which is where the "snow" came from), and smaller scale Muppet veggies redone. more will be on the back (not pictured) In order to get an...

    Are the Muppets as popular as they were 30 to 40 years ago?

    There was never an official announcement of which I am aware. The rumor stems from an article that said there will probably be a new Muppet series on the new service. As far as I know there is no actual news of a show being or ever being produced. Darth is probably right. The new Muppet...

    Where are all these classic Sesame Street episodes coming from?

    I didn't know there were so many old school episodes uploaded. It's really weird seeing season 1 Sesame Street. There are clips in these episodes that were in the series when I was a kid (about 20 years after the show started) that I had no idea were from the first season. Also it is weird...

    Sesame Street Introduces Homeless Muppet

    Is she not a regular cast member? I haven't seen the show in many years so I have no idea.

    Sesame Street Introduces Homeless Muppet

    I had someone that worked for me that lived in a shelter. Worked as a cashier. Decent worker, did what was asked of him, would help out and was willing to work extra hours. He never stole money as he never had shortages on his registers, but after I transferred to another store he was spotted...

    Sesame Street Introduces Homeless Muppet

    I'm surprised they haven't touched on this topic before now. Where I use to work we had a couple of people that had full time jobs yet were still homeless, living in shelters. It's one of my biggest fears.

    Are the Muppets as popular as they were 30 to 40 years ago?

    How much presence the Muppets have on Disney+ will pretty much show us how much Disney cares about the Muppets in general. So far we have no actual news of a new show. Nothing has been shown and no word about it going into production has been officially mentioned. The only productions we...

    Are the Muppets as popular as they were 30 to 40 years ago?

    The Muppets are icon popular, but not actually popular. It's like Mickey Mouse. Everyone claims to love Mickey mouse, but when was the last time any Mickey production was released that was popular with a non-preschool crowd? The Muppets are no longer popular for their humor. They are popular...

    My New Project - Mini Santa Chef Figure/Ornament

    So after completing my mini Fozzie I was trying to think of a new project. At first I was considering a Sheesh Kermit for whom I have a completed head sculpt, but since Fozzie was in a distraught positions I thought another "unhappy" figure seemed too... unhappy. Soo... I switched gears and...

    Little things we've noticed

    Plus you need something to clean up all that hot mustard that Floyd wanted tonuse to eat through the bars and wipe you hands after eating the popcorn Scooter was selling. Speaking of which, ever notice that Scooter has a scene/line/joke where he is specifically dealing with popcorn in the first...
