    Your Thoughts: Kermit and Miss Piggy on America's Got Talent

    I actually think it would have been funnier with Gonzo and Piggy. Kermit and Piggy doing this was flat and not really funny. I mean, am I the only one that doesn't think random chickens is automatically funny anymore?

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and Miss Piggy on America's Got Talent

    I think during the muppet show years there was the friction but by the time of Muppet Family Christmas and the like the frog had certainly given in. The friction was brought back during the Steve years. My guess is that it was done to, as you said, make them more interesting and to keep things...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and Miss Piggy on America's Got Talent

    The mobile lab is not totally pre-programed. There is a lot of live interaction, though some parts are pre-programmed with Dave and Steve and I think all of Beakers stuff is pre-programmed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwotf4v53o4 I'm pretty sure that the person doing the live stuff is...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and Miss Piggy on America's Got Talent

    I have to say that I detest when people try to evoke Jim Henson's name when they try to make a point. We are allowed to dislike a performance and no one should have to apologize for not liking this one. Also, I don't feel that we should be happy that someone who posts here got to perform...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and Miss Piggy on America's Got Talent

    We accept other recasts for various reasons. With Piggy and Fozzie we all knew Frank Oz was stepping back from the muppets. So, when Eric took over we were mostly happy. One, he's darn good, two it was either Eric or Piggy and Fozzie being reduced to small cameos, and three Frank helped...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and Miss Piggy on America's Got Talent

    First off it's Eric Jacobson. Second, he saved Piggy and Fozzie from disappearing. Frank Oz started to move away from the muppets during the Jim Henson Hour years. Notice how none of the characters on the Jim Henson Hour were Frank's, he only did guest spots. That when Jim Henson was alive...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and Miss Piggy on America's Got Talent

    That did not in anyway sound more like Jim Henson's Kermit. There was a slight Jim quality to the voice, but not his Kermit voice. Also, I don't care what the voice sounds like if the puppetry is bad, which it was. It was SOOOO bad. Plus the guy can't sing. I'm not a huge fan of Steve's...

    Wow, those Sesame Street posers look great, maybe some of the best versions I've ever seen. These are really well done photos.

    Pictures of the new eFX Replicas: Reporter Kermit, Rizzo and Miss Piggy

    But the Kermit is 10% smaller than the Kermit puppet. So if people are looking at Rizzo next to Kermit and thinking he looks too big, then it is partly due to the MR Kermit being 10% smaller than the puppet, and people are comparing the replicas' scale to the scale of the puppets.

    Pictures of the new eFX Replicas: Reporter Kermit, Rizzo and Miss Piggy

    From what I have heard the reporter Kermit is suppose to be actual size where as the MR replica was 10% smaller, which would also account for Rizzo looking too big. As for Reporter Kermit cheapening the first replica, to be fair the first one isn't exactly skyrocketing in value. Pretty much...

    GMC in Theaters

    You should know that the thread title is horribly misleading as I thought this was some sort of news about GMC being back in theaters only to find out it's nothing of the sort.

    Animal collar replica from the Muppet Movie

    Yet another Wednesday. Any pictures yet?

    Food Network Challenge: Sesame Street Cakes

    When you're in a contest for 10,000 dollars I think every detail counts. A missing eyelash may not seem like much, but it's part of the character detail.

    Food Network Challenge: Sesame Street Cakes

    It's most certainly Big Bird's eyes that are off, and the shape of the beak seemed pretty off to me as well. The actual body and structure of the character are spot on though.

    Food Network Challenge: Sesame Street Cakes

    I rewatched it last night and saw Rizzo on the Oscar cake. Neat idea, but I bet they didn't mention it because of legal issues and I bet he was dinged for including a character from another license as well. It's too bad that licensing issues kept that piece from being shown off.

    Food Network Challenge: Sesame Street Cakes

    Well, to me, the judges were like any other anything muppets. Not new characters so much as generic anything muppets that have always been apart of sesame street. Jellybean was different, as was holding the iconic street sign. Also, the guy is a veteran of the challenges while the person that...

    Food Network Challenge: Sesame Street Cakes

    Honestly, I think the Big Bird cake missed the mark. The eye placement was really awful. Yes, he did amazing work on the body of the character, but the face was just off. Also, the scene itself was a little "meh". I happen to agree that using a non-show muppet jumping out of the cake was odd...

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    To make it GMC era all they really need to do is change the tie and add the pants. The current reporter Kermit hat looks like the GMC era hat, but the one on the poser is way too big and doesn't fit right. Of course, if they are making an all new possibly bigger Kermit to go with the outfit...

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    Rizzo is amazing, it's perfect. If the final product looks like that I'm totally in. Kermit does nothing for me. For one, it's not the reporter Kermit I was hoping for. I was hoping for a GMC version with bow tie and smaller hat. Also, he has no pants and that just looks weird. Looks more...
