Sounds interesting. Was the Grouch grouchy? Sometimes he seems to have mellowed a bit with age. He he. :grouchy: Did Alan Alda say something mean-spirited or offensive. Rather big bomb dropped there without much explaination. I enjoy Spinney and Alda as performers. Guess I found that...

I want to give the green monster a hug! :)

Hmmm, well in every post-80s interview when Labyrinth is brought up, Connelly finds a way to gloss-over the experience or change the subject. Even in the most recent of interviews (one I believe was on A&E or AMC last year). I don't know if it's that she was too young to remember, she's tired...

The Fizgig plush is cute, but not very accurate looking. It is one approach that I don't mind as long as we get other types of stuff. For some reason I think the Henson Company has been trying to drum-up money by passing out licenses to the highest bidder rather than the best company that will...

Actually, I kinda liked the Goblin King figures. Almost got one. Eventually will. Creepy tight pants don't scare me! Heck, I've seen worse in this city just riding the subway. And having a subway in San Francisco is probably creepier than tight pants in general! He he. I digress. The...

I think it was Ebert (or someone of his stature) who remarked Space Jam as being "better than Roger Rabbit!" I couldn't stand that picture. WB didn't even consult with Chuck Jones who was still very much alive and working back then. He wanted to help and they shut him out. Disney, on the other...

I completely agree. The reason that some retailers might not see that there is an interest in actual action figures is that the only Dark Crystal product on their shelves doesn't move the way even a niche toy line should. It's not because people don't like the Dark Crystal. I believe it's the...

That's fuinny! Sad, but very, very funny! :)

Thanks for this article. I have felt like it seemed as if I was griping about the new MindStyle sculptures. I like 'em, sure, but they aren't figures and I can't invest in steeply priced stuff like that and the MR Muppets too (they totally deserve their price-point). I hope someday a company...

Awww. Well, at least they seem interested in getting Gonzo right. If they were to make only one Muppet replica - he is the one I would pick! On another note - I've been watching Fraggle season three with my partner and keep seeing Terry's name in the credits and each time it goes by, I tell...

Hmmm. Seen it happen and totally agree with that. Still I'm inching quietly away and whistling. He he! :o Long time ago I was a moderator here (kind of honorary because of the staff stuff). That stopped when I took a loooong hiatus. Thank goodness! It really is a tougher task than one might...

You're right Heralde. Eventually it's a good story that wins audiences. It's not the monitor, how many lines-per-inch, computer wizardry or hip-factor. Stories and characters that reach a viewer - that's what entertainment is ultimately about. Now, I wouldn't turn down a nice HiDef...

The Muppet Central site and forum were around a while before I started coming around in late 99 (the old Delphi days). Over the past seven years I have seen many debates of this sort. It is a healthy topic and part of the bread-and-butter of what a Muppet forum is (and always has been) about...

Nothing ever gets my complete support, and I still don't know if the Disney deal is a good thing. One thing for certain is that Disney will probably own the Muppets forever. They tend not to sell such acquisitions. There have been interesting and disappointing developments. Things got off-track...

I almost look at it as "who's greed wins?" I did hear that Disney wasn't happy with the first season DVD cuts of the Muppet Show. :sympathy: I find it interesting that Disney released their Muppet Christmas CD last year - as if there's a shortage of Muppet Christmas music. It's all about how...

Disney Greed and Muppet DVDs Honestly, I've always had a tongue-in-cheek view of Disney's corporate structure. Yeah, they're greedy - all successful companies have a healthy level of capitalistic greed. That's what keeps them afloat. Even Jim Henson created a Shrine to the Almighty Dollar...

Why oh why doesn't the Disney Channel at least show some Muppets Tonight from time to time? They're making me almost resent these tween children that Hanna Montana and High School Musical are made for. I just don't see them enduring. They're like potato chips - quick, easy and (sometimes)...

Wow! Great, fantastic pictures, Kev! You should be Kermit's offical photographer. And the inclusion of Muley! Loved that. Up close how did the MR replica compare to the cased one at the museum? :)

If the Mickey Mouse Star Wars figures are any indication, the Muppet ones will look pretty sweet. :eek:

I felt that there really shouldn't be anything - logo or Muppetwise - on the menu strip. That's why the MC logo disappears before the screen pops up. This menu usually passes by quietly and unnoticed. What can be said about that day? The menu image was the only way to communicate my...
