    UK's Creature Shop faces closure over taxes

    I see. So it is being considered. This is truly sad then. At least it is not really their choice. It is being forced because the US economy is so awful. Is the world ending? Please, someone let me know. I just want to be prepared.

    David Shaw: Bye-bye, Big Bird

    Fact is the Bush administration is against anything that will educate the public. The reason is the more people learn, and the earlier they learn, the harder it is to control them. if you have a stupid generation you can rule with an iron fist. That is what is being set up here. The ground...

    Relaunching The Muppets: A New Plan

    I actually agree with you about Frank but i didn't want to say it for fear of backlash. He does fantastic on his own, but I don't think he likes Steve or maybe he thinks Steve should not have taken on Kermit or something, but they just don't work well together. Eric and Steve work much better...

    Some old Sesame photos

    the top of 123 Sesame is cut off, cutting the building in half. Other times you see the whole thing. You can see it in this picture http://www.oldradio.com/archives/hardware/TV/rca-tk44(teletape2).jpg the top of 123 is cut off but it has been used before. I always figures the whole...

    Muppets Season 1 releases Aug 9, 2005

    40 is actually pretty standard for season box sets. When you look at it on a per episode cost it's a nice price. If the season were only 12 episodes long, then it would be steep. I think including the sex and violence piolot is really cool. Most people haven't even seen it. I only saw it...

    Should Jerry Juhl return to write?

    Yeah, I don't think Kirk is a very good director. I would like to see him work on a muppet movie though, not a tv movie. I want to see what he can do with a movie that takes place in the real world. Any prodction that takes place in a studio will just look like it was made in a studio.

    Should Jerry Juhl return to write?

    In that case he's really good! Let the man write!

    Should Jerry Juhl return to write?

    What did he write? AVMMC? If so he's not bad. Drop the NBC references and you have the makings of a classic movie.

    Some old Sesame photos

    That's so cool! didn't know they actually cut the building in half like that. I figured they just had the same huge full set in the same studio all these years. It's really weird when I see behind the scenes stuff for Sesame Street. I still say Sesame Street is a real street somewhere...

    Bert and Ernie go around the world in 2005

    Do we know who will performer Bert and Ernie? Eric and Steve are both Muppet performers as well as Sesame performers. Will they be making the trips?

    JHC planning Dark Crystal sequel

    My issue with CGI is that it always looks fake to me. No matter how realistic it is, it has this cartoony quality to it. You can't beat real sets and real puppet characters. Of course, there are things you just can't do with puppets as we have seen with Yoda. So who knows.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    "# Eric Jacobson is doing a better job with Frank's Characters than frank in the later films." I have to agree here. I liked Piggy in this much more than Piggy in MFS. It's like Piggy has been thrown back to TMS days.

    I read the Tough Pigs post and the person posting pretty much said it's false but posted the news anyway. Don't pay any attention to it.

    Ok, Brian Henson has officially ruined his father's company.

    Why is Steve Whitmire the voice of Kermit?

    I think if you could combine Steve and John's Ernie you would have a perfect Ernie.

    Should Jerry Juhl return to write?

    I don't think Bill did it. I believe Pepe, Statler, and Waldorf were done by new performers for that movie review skit. Sadly we never saw it again. Brian is a great director. Maybe if he was limited to just directing and performing Sal it would be good. Apprently Frank and the other...

    Why is Steve Whitmire the voice of Kermit?

    They really didn't need to make new ones. Perhaps it would be best to just reuse the old ones. They actually redid Rubber Ducky with Steve and a newer Ernie puppet (at least I think it was Steve) but they used the original sound track.

    Should Jerry Juhl return to write?

    One thing Jerry Jhul could do in the movies was give each set of characters their proper time and lines. We didn't have a Pepe who would ALWAYS be there. While I do like MWoO I can see many of the flaws within it. Pepe did have too much screen time. The EM was seen for no real reason other...

    Why is Steve Whitmire the voice of Kermit?

    I believe he started out on the actual street, but was soon put into skits. He was in al ot of them though. I remember him singing a good amount of songs. I still love carribean amphibian.
