It's a pretty logical step to rerelease the characters. The figures have all sold out, even the Kermit and Piggys quite some time ago. If you can actually find one, consider yourself lucky. Personally, I'd rather they restock the entire first series line up and the new characters with...

I actually found out the reason why...Seems they're re-releasing Kermit, Piggy, and Animal as well as the 2 new characters. Which is disappointing, as they are unaltered and not even variants. Not even an alternate color of Piggy. Unfortunately Dr. Teeth, Snowths, and Mahna Mahna aren't...

That's the internet for you. All it takes is one out of touch person to get on board and reference it outside the internet to completely ruin a meme. And these are getting ruined faster than ever. Used to take a whole year and a half.

Lost Media Wiki's like on fire trying to find out information on this special. Anyway, this image surfaced: Even without the horrid CGI designs, these characters are plug fugly! And you gotta love how not at all mildly racist the description of "The Hip Black Kid" is. Love how they made...

They already own the Star Wars license. In fact, it's their most popular licensed brand. They had it since the 90's. I hear they're cracking down on customs that require purchases of more licenses. Unless something's insanely popular (like the Ghostbusters set). They wouldn't even push...

You know... most of us grew out of whining about that well over 10 years ago. The Show is different from when you were a kid decades ago. Get over it.

It seems that Ernie and Bert segments are made with the foreign markets in mind. Which is a real shame, since they have new ones that haven't been on the American show. Instead, we get the same parody segments used twice a season in their place. I also wonder why the apartment isn't used...

Agreed. I love the blame Disney gets. You know what would truly be awful? If Henson still owned the Muppets and the movie rights went to Weinstein. You think Disney is bad... wooh... That's what would have happened. Either we get an "edgy" movie (read jaded and awful) or they beat around...

Too true. Saying this movie is unoriginal is complete bull. Guess what? MTM had similarities to TMM. And if you want to go beyond that, TMM is an homage to road movies (Moving Right Along owes a LOT to Crosby and Hope delivery) with a little allegory to The Wizard of Oz, MTM is an homage to...

Bert doesn't look as flawlessly overperfect as Ernie. There's still a lot more personality in his design.

That really does makes a lot of sense when you think about it. It's just very awkward having directions written down that intensively. On the one hand, the instructions aimed at kids ranges from fairly obvious to needlessly complicated, but on the other hand, the adult instructions seem like...

This one's funny to non-Dutch speakers... especially when you sound it out in English... Try reading that and not thinking it says "Grover Got near school."

That's something that the Sesame Street puppets also suffer from. Ernie looks too good. Like completely too good that it's artificial. And then there's the Grover Puppet they used a while back where they tried to make him look like he did in the 70's, with much shaggier fur and it just didn't...

You gotta admit, that's honest right there. Clues and Monsters. They aren't calling them Obama Spider-Man, like some Sonic the Hedgehog Backpacks I know.

That's the double-edged sword. If the network owns your show, you actually have a place for it. If you own your own show, you have to pretty much shop it around, and you wind up with this Chipmunks situation where it airs everywhere BUT the US. And even then, that's no guarantee they will...

You know why I don't take these complaints about Puppet Heap seriously? Homunculus Zoe happened. Homunculus Zoe is far uglier than "We ran out of the fur used to make Fozzie and can't be bothered to kit bash what we have to make it look like it" and "Gonzo with a Muppet Babies nose." And...

Any company that isn't Shout or Mill Creek just hates the heck out of releasing stuff on DVD. Especially box sets. Paramount, when it had the license, would release any and everything the Peanuts did. WB just wanted to release the Christmas special several times. We never got a set of 80's...

It was renewed for a third season back before the second season started. Heck, I think before the third season finished. Know how I say that CN makes at least one boneheaded decision for every 2 or 3 good ones it makes? Nick's the opposite. It makes a good decision for every 2 or 3 bad ones...

I'm absolutely happy with the success of the new TMNT series, and I just pray that the upcoming movie doesn't harsh that show's buzz and sink the franchise or overtake it. But Nickelodeon is a terrible network. They historically screwed creators, and put the fear of Network God in the...

And MWO was the reason Disney pretty much treated The Muppets like crap for 4 or 5 years. And who could blame them? I'm sure if it wasn't a complete failure we'd see a lot more crummy, jaded retellings with F-list celebrities and at the moment pop culture references on television that we'd...
