To be honest, I do agree. I wouldn't want to see a preschool themed Muppet Program...well, featuring these characters anyway. But short interstitial bits like Muppet Time (only featuring famous characters) sound like a nice way to utilize the characters. Too bad they can't make these for all...

My only complaint is the 10 minute run time. I wonder how this show would be if it ran the full half hour and had deeper storylines. Then again, that might not work well for it. Mike seems to have just enough sense of humor on this one. They portray him as mildly insane, after all. But not...

That's kind of the point I was making. There's not so much controversy so much as it's weird that they're distancing. Perfectly understandable as they want to keep it part of its own thing, though. I mean, only older comic book fans know it's a Marvel production anyway. I don't think the...

Yes. So much yes. So very yes. Remember... this was made!!! And back when Jim was still around, too. And let's not forget the post Jim Sing-a-long videos about construction equipment with Kermit. Muppet Babies, anyone? Yeah. It stinks they're not coming up with something more...

I'm going to say this about the Book of Life. It may not be the greatest animated film ever, but it certainly doesn't belong to be here. It was certainly one of the most visually stunning CGI movies I've seen in a while (especially the land of the remembered... pure eye candy). I'm...

Something tells me even the larger figures are becoming hard to find. I've only seen series 3 figures once. And the price increased a bit because they were. Worst part is, series 4 is supposed to be due out soon, and it has a Weird Al figure in it. Strangely the 80's/90's one from That 90's...

Well, that's slightly different, as the CEO was funneling profits into hateful anti-gay organizations. When word got out because of the boycott, it was bad PR, and they promised to stop funding those groups and letting the CEO say anything in public. And it worked the opposite way because...

Here's an article about the lack of Marvel tie ins. For the most part, it's a refusal to reprint any of the original comics for those dopey reasons that it would be "confusing." But anyway, Disney has not marketed the movie as a Marvel film or "Based on the Marvel comic" until recently, and...

There's a strange irony to that. Every KFC I know of closed down and was replaced by smaller, local restaurants. I'm not kidding. The realism is that, if you're a kid, you don't actually get that subtlety. At least, if Sue Ellen didn't get the info straight that it was being sold. That's...

Really sucks that kids aren't going to see Book of Life, but a slim majority of tweens went to see that dumb movie. But it is a slender week, and I'm sure kids are just waiting for Big Hero 6 or Penguins instead. Still... they made a cheap movie and it made money for being cheap. Yeah...

Okay... was it forced off the line up by Dish, or did Turner not give a crap with it, or is it a mix of both? Someone needs to do something about Dish. They've pretty much ruined television and internet streaming. After all the crap that went down with Fox, they're the main reason hulu makes...

A lot of young people do like older music. Especially if they've been huge, and their popularity was always consistent. Which I'll guess in-universe is what Little Jerry and Little Chrissy are. And on the show too. They've been playing Little Jerry songs up until the late 90's. Of course...

It's easy to forget that Gonzo wasn't up front and center in the first and third movies. GMC, sure, as he was part of the trio with Kermit and Fozzie (even then, the film was more about Kermit and Piggy anyway). Sure, he had more scenes in TMM than he TM. Need to really see MTM again. Other...

At least it comes with a bonus of the underwhelming home video version of the 35th anniversary special episode. SW does not want to do anything for its 45th. I get that. It's a great time for a cash grab, and their profits go back to SW projects... could have been a nice way to earn some...

I actually forgot if they had comics back in the day. I remember most of Marvel's Star line up, and they had some pretty saccharine stuff. Think I even had a Strawberry Shortcake one when I was 3. But the current ones are a matter of the wonderful trend in in licensed comics based on kid's...

I'm bumping this really old thread because I totally forgot I already posted this and was about to post it again. I just listened to "Sad" again, and it sound so incredibly like Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons I wondered why the characters are designed to look like hippies yet sing music...

I hear the comics are darker, and more geared towards...well... the not demographic the show is aiming for. There's even supposedly a stealth Quantum Leap crossover in one of the issues (!) I'd check it out, but I'm swamped with other comics anyway. I had to give up at least 2 to make room...

We sure had a lot of fun talking about basement produced Christian Puppet Shows and Peppermint Park, and ugly cheap things. But you still can have a well done, well written, big budget series that manages to have creepy as heck puppets for the opposite reasons. Now, while some of the Spitting...

Well... I bought my first intentional piece of merchandise. A one buck eraser from Target, and only because it was Pinkie. I actually do have 2 of the Happy meal toys from earlier this year, but both unintentionally. I was trying to get that awesome Skylander that's a snake that shoots...

Venture Bros is more dark parody than the others. Like, dark, psychological stuff. The others are much more upbeat parodies with some adult jokes thrown in. Venture Brothers is all about failure and putting a supreme darkness into famous action characters, if by expy versions of them. The...
