    Muppet Impostors!

    This looks to me like a French Spitting Image. I loved that show back in the late '80s, and would kill to get it on DVD, dated though the humor would be now.

    "Jump the Shark" Thread

    I didn't like Janice at all. Her voice really threw me. But I prefer her to Statler and Waldorf. IMO, they just aren't themselves if they're not heckling the Muppets, and heckling the babies would just be mean. Plus, exactly why are they parking their carcasses in the nursery anyway? Feh...

    "You must wait x seconds to post" ?

    You have to wait certain time between posts. The forum software does that so spammers can't flood the forum in seconds.

    "Jump the Shark" Thread

    Muppet Babies, when in the last two seasons they started adding in more characters and had less in the way of fun team adventures. It's as if they suddenly forgot what made the show fun and charming. I enjoy most of the series, but it's very hard for me to force myself to watch any of the...

    Rumor: Finding Nemo 2?

    Mmm... not going to worry about this one too much until I see more about it. They might have a different story entirely planned, if this is real at all. Why no A Bug's Life sequel? I loved that movie, and there has to be more tales to tell in that world. Sigh.

    Happy Birthday Dave Goelz

    Happy birthday to the Muppeteer I'd most like to meet!

    Janken: Thanks! (Janken snags the muffins before his creator can comment and, while bunching on the chocolate one, scampers off in the direction of his two blueberry-loving sisters.) Me: Yeah, he's getting a headstart on winter this year.

    Kim: Gee, thanks! (Opens wide to bite in, then noticed Janken standing there with a hungry-puppy expression.) Kim: Not this time, fuzzball. Looks to me like you don't need any more snacks. Janken: What? I'm not fat, I'm fluffy. Kim: (through a mouthful of muffin) Still, cadge your...

    Thanks, all. Especially you, Count; I needed a cookie right now. I see you took Cookie Monster's musical message to heart. As for the walking stick, I have no idea if a stick that long is more or less useful. I've never hiked with a stick before. It's possible that was just a prop so she'd...

    How I Spent My Summer Vacation (A Muppet Fic)

    *chuckles* Oh, this was fun to read. I could see this happening as a montage, with the fate of the dress as a flashback. "Build a Muppet whatnot"... on reading that title I envisioned a Frankensteinish scene. Thanks for a fun Gonzo & Camilla chapter. This place needs more of them!

    What does she look like? The picture's right up there! You'd have to be as blind as a bat to miss it... oh. Well, Idgie has light green skin, an average build, and a round head with a small ball nose, same color green. She has frizzy ash blonde hair brushed back from her face and falling...

    Skeeter 'n' Idgie: In the fanfic Brothers and Sisters I had Skeeter mention a past friend named Idgie. I only intended her to be a part of Skeeter's background, but some readers got interested in her. So, what the heck, I drew her. I didn't want her to be a monster, or an animal, or anything...

    Fraggle Fic: A Spicy Story

    Yes, Janken lives in Outer Space. He works in the Muppet Theater as camera operator.

    What was the last DVD you bought and why?

    Midnight Cowboy. Interesting film. And I smiled at the Muppet connection

    Miss Piggy's Muppet Adventures: The Great Beartender

    *chuckles* Gonzo can be odd at times. Gonzo doped up on meds is comedy indeed. I was wondering why Kermit is surprised that Gonzo is in his house, since Kermit just left him there, but then I realized that he's concerned about Gonzo's actions. ("What are you doing" can mean "Why are you...

    The Muppet Show Comic Book: the Four Seasons V1 out now

    It's an enjoyable comic. I love the idea of Animal briefly having a love interest, and the fate of that relationship was perfect. I also like Langridge's habit of having the characters break into song, which kinda makes me wish he was interested in writing for Fraggles. The one thing I'm...

    Avatar trend?

    I change avatars very very rarely. I used to have a Naked Baby Gonzo avatar. Now I've got my OC Janken Fraggle doing an homage to Move Your Feet, a goofily joyous 8-bit video that I likes a whole bunch.

    How I Spent My Summer Vacation (A Muppet Fic)

    Heh heh! Poor Sam, he can't catch a break--by his very stringent standards. I do have sympathy for him, not being allowed eyedrops. I suffer from dry eye, and there are time I need those. I keep a bottle in my purse and another on my nightstand. Random thought: Sam ought to have a blog...

    Brothers and Sisters

    In earlier episodes Boober is more germophobic than later. He's also more superstitious. In later episodes he began taking a more proactive attitude as "Dr. Boober." I suspect that surviving the Pebble Pox was a turning point for him. In my fanfic continuity, Boober's mellowed out a bit...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I watched the preview. Ow. Those characters look like the offspring of Fraggles and Gorgs, but without the charm of either race.
