Let's take a look at something: Sid & Marty Krofft are working again, their new show, MUTT & STUFF has been successful enough to not only spawn a season with 40 episodes (when back in the day, their shows usually only had 17 episodes), but a second season with a generous amount of episodes -...

Too true. Again, the big-wigs just want money-money-money.

Well, they weren't in battle so much as the NY workshop was feeling jealous and neglected because Jim was spending so much time in England with the Creature Shop - like an older brother feeling a sense of sibling rivaly when his parents devote so much time to the new younger brother.

I'd have to look through the Jim Henson Biography book again, but as I recall reading, certain Henson Associates employees were taking long vacations or staying at lavish hotels and resorts, and charging it all to the company without Jim's knowledge.

Basically, Jim wanted Disney to handle the financial and business aspects of the company, which would free him up to concentrate solely on the creative aspects, as running the company by himself was beginning to take a toll on him - especially as he was discovering a few people within his...

Oh yeah, the same old tired "SJWs ruin everything" argument, like the same old tired, "Liberals are buncha snowflakes" routine.

Well, Disney was supposedly working on that Halloween special years ago but ended up shelving it.

I missed it because I was at a family reunion.

Hmm, I missed the details about Frank's involvement.

Apparently next on Disney's agenda, live-action ALADDIN with Will Smith as Genie.

Oh, that! I knew Jim and Jerry Juhl had the idea before Jim's death, but I don't recall Frank saying he wanted to do that movie instead, but rather, Disney played with the idea of doing that movie before they ended up with Jason Segel's script.

I've learned something these past 96 hours: apparently "puppeteer" must be hard to spell.

It's more of a fetish than it is a fandom . . . and in a lot of cases, many of these so-called "adult babies" are mentally challenged.

I just checked through Xfinity and I don't see it. I'd remain hopeful though, they had I AM BIG BIRD On Demand last year, but it was for like one weekend only.

What was Frank's idea? I don't think I heard of it.

Doesn't that end up happening to a good many number of imported animated shows in North America? I heartell there was an Italian cartoon about a bunch of super fairies (can't remember the name of it) that started out with Canadian voice actors (mostly from ARTHUR) and then it eventually went to...

There's quite a bit of inside info floating around from different sources, but a lot of it's supposed to be hush-hush, so I think for the time being, all we can do is just wait and see what further public information we receive from either of the two parties.

Nevertheless, the point was if it was because of age, then Caroll or Jerry would have been let go long ago due to similar circumstances.

:laugh:

Yup. "The new Kermit sux!" "What the **** happened to Kermit?!" "What's wrong with Kermit's voice?" "#NotMyKermit" "Why did Brian Henson stop performing Kermit?" "Unacceptable! He needs to be exactly the same!" "I will never watch the Muppets again!" I mean, that was pretty much the reaction...
