    Very Merry Muppet DVD Observations

    Vets Hospital - It aint pretty I haven't watched the DVD yet. but here's a scan of the Vet's Hospital beans. Be afraid. be very afraid. The chicken is very cute. :mad: :sympathy: :flirt: www.jamesvier.com/etc/vetsbeans.jpg Heck, I'll probably get them anyway. :rolleyes:

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and the Muppets on Jimmy Kimmel Live

    Many fans would disagree with that. They tried it with Muppets Tonight with quite a few criticisms from fans and the public at large. When they see Muppets, they want to see Kermit, Piggy and Fozzie Bear. i think their performers do a fantastic job. Even Entertainment Weekly thought that was...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and the Muppets on Jimmy Kimmel Live

    To be honest. part of the problem is the post Jim branding of the Muppets as "family entertainment." I really hate that term. It's like "family values." Why does everything have to be about families? The Muppets have always been more inclusive than that. The Muppet Show was for everybody. It was...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and the Muppets on Jimmy Kimmel Live

    The Muppets have always reflected the times. They got stuck in a retro rut back in the 90s, but it's good to see they're coming back into the mainstream.

    Kid's Programming that Makes You Want to Question Life Itself

    Having lived in New York, living in San Francisco for the better part of a decade and being out for the past 13 years I'd say that this world is made up of people of ALL sorts including Wills and Jacks. The characters balance out one another. Will and Grace is embraced my America. I'd say that's...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and the Muppets on Jimmy Kimmel Live

    Oh, I don't believe that one bit. I think Kermit still has a lot of his original soul. If anything, he's a bit more youthful and spritely these days, but that's not a bad thing at all. Jim's genius will never be matched and I'm glad that Steve tries to bring something a little different to his...

    Your Favorite Series 5 Figure is...

    Here is the photo Crock Alley posted on Palisades' board http://www.boomspeed.com/crockalley/GOnzo.jpg No offense taken of course. They just don't remotely resemble each other. I have fond memories of the clunky little figures as a kid, but they aren't quality products in the least. Maybe they...

    Your Favorite Series 5 Figure is...

    Palisades' Gonzo looks absolutely nothing like the FP figure. There's actually a humorous thread comparing those figures to Palisades. Those old stick puppets were cute way back when, but are incredibly crude when compared to Palisades' figures. I've got the old figure on my desk right now...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and the Muppets on Jimmy Kimmel Live

    I've seen the show before and have the same complaints with or without Kermit. I feel Kimmel is such an underwhelming host, that he tries to deflect attention from that fact in every way he can - hence the rotating co host. I have never really found him funny. It's not necessarily because he's...

    Walgreens/Muppet Babies Promotion

    Interesting. I wonder why they didn't go all out and make Scooter. He'd be easy to make into Skeeter so it's very economical. I'm not a babies fan, but they look fairly cute for plush items.

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and the Muppets on Jimmy Kimmel Live

    Just worked out that way. Noting magical about it. Warrick reports it came from a good source. Technically Statler is only assigned to Nelson and has no official understudy. :boo: :sing:

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and the Muppets on Jimmy Kimmel Live

    I said Bill was the confirmed performer or Statler, not Animal. I said he probably performed Animal. I saw him underneath the drums.

    The Big 5 (and why it bugs me)

    In my Muppet fan experience for the past 29 years, I have always found the main 5 to be just about the same. Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo and Animal. But I always looked at is more as the big 7 including Scooter and Rowlf. If anything Rowlf and Animal were on equal merchandise footing...

    I'm thinking that Statler and Waldorf were the surprise. :sleep: :boo: :sympathy:

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and the Muppets on Jimmy Kimmel Live

    Apparently it has been confirmed as Bill. Steve was going to do it, but Bill got it at the last minute. Warrick is the source of the information. Apparently it came from a good source. :sing:

    I so want Pepe to set Jimmy straight. Or Johnny to call up some friends. :)

    New movies coming out...

    Ahh, good. I was shocked there for a moment. The first pic just looks like a bad artist's rendereing, but the second is just terrible. I'm not sure what to think of Cat in the Hat. I'll reserve judgement until I see it. Good thing it wasn't hyped for 2 years like the Grinch was. That was a...

    New movies coming out...

    Hey! :mad: Weird cartoon version? Are you speaking of the animated Grinch from master animator (and father of Buggs Bunny. Roadrunner, Pepe Le Pew, Marvin Martian etc) Chuck Jones? I must have read that wrong, especially coming from a cartoonist. :confused: (turns a blind eye and hope this was...
