    The new Muppet movie and TV series

    Andy and Randy I thought they were funny, but a little of that goes a long way. They were a one-joke duo that was way overexposed. I'd like to see them in the background (maybe they can live with Clifford) but I don't think they need to be featured as main or secondary cast.

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    Eeek! What was with that series of kid vids with Fozzie and Kermit. I think they were released under the direction of Jim. It always surprised me because the Muppet Show cast was always meant for an adult audience. Those shows could have easily been done by the sesame cast. I was thinking...

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    Kev That's exactly what I was thinking. The bear is only second to the pig (and I tend to think they are equals). He is part of the majic missing from the Muppets. Poor Foz. He is the uncrushable spirit!

    Jessie- MTI stands for Muppet Treasure Island. Eeek! you don't have The classic Muppet Movie? I really feel it's the best of the series. Have you seen it?

    "I hate the Media" posers!!!

    sid I think this has turned into a pay-per-view event!

    How about the "classic three" - TMM TGMC TMTM?

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    Well it is technically the second last Muppet movie DVD release so it will be among the last bought DVD for even the die hard fan. Seriously, I get your point, but I can't see how MFS was any better? There were no original songs and most of the jokes (aside from Pepe's) fell pretty flat.

    How'bout the addition of live tigers?

    "I hate the Media" posers!!!

    sid Exactly. It really is trash television (in my opinion). I'm glad that the ratings have fallen for this first in the series of so-called "reality programs". I would still have to say the Fear Factor is the worst. Now, that Eco-challenge thing intrigues me a little. That's more about a real...

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    Eeek! Okay - I must state that the Fozzie in Muppets From Space was the Stepford Fozzie! That has been a major topic of discussion on the board. All the characters in MFS were flat characatures of themselves. To judge anything about the Muppets from that misguided film would be a mistake. To...

    The new Muppet movie and TV series

    I agree about the MT band. I didn't lile the puppets - except fro Zippidy-Zap. He should definitely return. Was he voiced by Bill? Plus Solid Foam's punk style is actually in style again these days! I wouldn't mind seeing them again - maybe in a battle of the bands episode.

    "I hate the Media" posers!!!

    For some reason the news made the opposite report on Groening's opinion. I think they should continue on for a few more years. Maybe the initial statement was made in bitterness over the Futurama decision - I really can't belive it's cancelled. Can someone direct me to confirmation of that? It...

    "I hate the Media" posers!!!

    I can't see Survivor making it another couple years. I don't really care anymore. I enjoyed it for a while the first season, but when the most irritating person won, I lost all interest. Since then it's just boring. I kind of with they'd cancel the show and just leave the people there! Only...

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    Quin Although the Muppets have always done parodies in shorter projects, I found it a little tiresome for the characters to keep up the charade for an entire 90 minutes. If Jim had helmed the projecs, maybe they would have worked better, but I stilll stand by my preference of non-book movies...

    Announcing: "Janice: 'Fer Sure!'"

    Byron Great stuff! Fer Sure! Glad you finally got it uploaded! Janice has deserved her own site for a long time. Hmmm, won't Mokey get jealous?

    The new Muppet movie and TV series

    I gotta chime in here about Clifford. He was in a few projects here and there, but received his big introduction in Muppets Tonight where he welcomed us by saying,"...I'm your homey made of foamy." :eek: I found that statement so tacky that he almost didn't recover in my eyes. He eventually...

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    I really agree with most of that. I really prefer to see the Muppets play themselves. And the Kermit-Miss Piggy, Kermit-Fozzie dynamics have changed much since the death of Jim. I really feel that has some part in why they don't have much valuable screentime together these days. I miss Scooter...

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    MCC just didn't seem Muppety to me. It was interesting and different (and I guess the Muppets are known for being interesting and different) but I can't see it as one of my faves. It didn't seem right. I remember seeing the original Muppet Movie when I was very little (showing my age). :) I...

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    About Muppet Treasure Island I guess I would be seen as ome of those people with a dissenting opinion on Muppet Treaure Island. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it and I believe it so be the best film of what I refer to as "the second trilogy", (The Muppet Movie, The GreatMuppet Caper and The...
