You are so right. Bill's laugh gives all of his characters away. He is a spectacular performer. Right behind Mr. Goelz in my book! :rolleyes: :concern: I wish FRM would get back on track. :excited:

Welcome Back! :) I unplugged my computer for quite a while (and then plugged it in only for design purposes for a lengthy time as well). So, I kind of understand the out-of-touch feeling. Such a hiatus can actually be a good thing from time to time, but it's certainly good to see you back...

Creating an additional post for this as a bullet-point of another sort. This thread is in the Puppet Improv section of the Muppet Central Forum. Seeing the substance of Puppet Up! and Tinseltown (in language and tone) could cause objections from parents, it should be up to them to monitor the...

Why does thread have to become a *Christian* debate? This thread of the forum is about a show called "Tinseltown News". Tinseltown is a show that deals with gay characters created by the alternative division of the Jim Henson Company. Neither the show nor the thread is really about the Good...

I'd vote for Pepe over Rizzo. I for a generic rat over Rizzo (maybe in GMC bellhop garb and/or other outfits). However, I do understand the appeal of Rizzo, but these days it's a tough call to say which one is more popular - Rizzo or Pepe. People know and like the prawn. But do those people have...

A friendly (on-topic) rant (for lack of a better word) I agree. It's not a lifestyle. It's a common mistake of language that is made - even by people I admire. Lifestyle implies choice and most in the GLBT community, including myself, don't feel that there is one. My response to the...

I just really don't like Howie or find him funny. It's kinda like the Tyler Perry thing. I don't get it. However Perry's humor tends to be lazy and depends broad stereotypes that frequently demean minorities and races other than his own. Howie just tries my patience for some reason. I think it's...

Palisades' Piggy & MR's Photos I actually pitched a "signature Piggy" for Palisades and kept getting the response that since the lack-luster series one Piggys didn't do well stores were reluctant to sign on and shelve a series containing her. The Swinetrek was expensive and missed the holiday...

I thought Kermit had sold well too, but my sources in the collectibles market have informed me the Kermit poser was expected to sell-through (and do it a lot faster than he has thus far). Almost being sold out nearly a year after release is (reportedly) not the best sign. However, it's certainly...

You're right. They do look too shiny. The ToyFare magazine picture of Donald I saw looked better. But these do look good. Somewhere - better than Happy Meal toy and below average for an action figure. I might get Donald. I like him.

Of Scooters, Beakers, Rizzos and Rowlfs! :eek: To be honest, I think Beaker would sell better than Scooter. However, I would much prefer Scooter. I've never been much of a Rizzo fan. He's okay and I like the Muppet rats, but if there's a character (other than Kermit) that epitomizes the...

Yeah, something's up with that link. I've been hearing about that from several people. I hope it's functioning by next week! :eek:

Disney has to get the yungin's to watch somehow... I tend to think of these Disney mini Muppet movies as something directly focussed on the tween demographic so I am not expecting to enjoy them any more than that. However, this is easily a positive! :) Most us fans were young when we...

Tinseltown will reportedly be available on the web too through the Logo website (not sure how to link to that yet). This demonstrates the need for info about this project on the MC home page. Lucky for me (and others) there's Muppet Newsflash to find this information in time. It could have...

Yeah, I know (even though it's like a new Muppet show). Yeah, I know it's going to be a hard sell for many fans. I've always said among the Muppets biggest enthusiasts are gays and christians. :halo: It's funny how the Muppet gang can bring so many different groups together. For this reason...

I'm thinking (and hoping) Tinseltown will have the same irreverence the Muppets show everything. Just wondering how biting it will be in this case. I wonder if their writers will drop in a Bert & Ernie joke. Not saying they are...but it's often speculated and could be a humorous reference if...

I have chosen a state of denial about this. When it's actually done and I see it, I'll believe it and grieve. :cry: I do wonder sometimes why they don't have some sort of space where you can puppeteer characters. I remember an old Art of the Muppets exibit where they had Koozebanians set up...

:cool: Many of Pixar's characters are rigged like puppets. This Pixar way really makes for better, more relatable, animation - unlike motion capture that often comes off stiff and creepy. Think about the motion capture of Polar Express where the characters came off like lifeless zombies. It was...

Oooh! Not to get off-topic, but what Muppetcast contest is it? Is there a link someone could provide. I don't have much time these days, but I tend to work fast. I mocked this up in a matter of hours for a Playstation contest a month ago. Didn't place, but I like him...THE FLUGG (he's a green...

Happy (almost) Halloween! :) ;) I'll give you the skinny on the menu. It was actually the first seasonal Muppet Central menu created. An orange logo proclaiming "Happy Halloween" stretches out on to the screen. Franken Kermit with purple hair is on the right of it, raven-haired Witch Piggy...
