    Video: New Lipton Tea Ad with Kermit, Piggy and Animal

    There is no other way to put it! :halo: And really... they used BABY ANIMAL! Nice touch.

    Has Frank Oz's opinion on the new movie changed?

    But you have to admit, it was a lot less Kiddy than the previous three theatrical films and waaaaay less juvenile than Kermit's Swamp Years. Also, if anything else, I really love how them managed to make the Piggy/Kermit relationship complex and far more adult than the lame "Kermit says...

    New Sesame Street Post Breakfast Cereals

    They were HUGE boxes of unappetizing cereal. Uber health food nuts wouldn't be caught dead buying something that doesn't have a bunch of meaningless buzz words on the package for their little snot eating tykes. And everyone else probably had a horrible time trying to get their kids to eat...

    Frank Oz in EIG

    Because, when you have someone available on the day of shooting, they'll inevitably wind up playing a character to fill out a scene. The only real question is what the shooting schedual for MT was. Did they do it segment by segment, or did they film the episode's worth of segments at once?

    Potential New Muppet Show

    WHAT?! And dare MeTV to run something on the weekdays that isn't a 12 hour marathon of old Westerns? Not a chance.

    RIP Harold Ramis (1944-2014)

    That's what's most depressing about this. He was denied that final performance as one of his most famous roles because GB 3 was never going to get made. Then again, at least it wasn't made with him passing on halfway through filming. At least he got to perform the character one last time for...

    New 2014 UK Series: The Furchester

    Europe was pretty much one of the first to adopt the odd sized television segment. 11 minute segments not followed up by another 11 minute segment is sort of getting more normal around here, but not quite. These segments are usually numbered by how long they are, vs how many half hours they...

    New 2014 UK Series: The Furchester

    It started filming apparently and it's going to premiere in the fall.

    Questions about anything

    We all should be thankful we didn't get the dreadful syndication cuts. We'd miss a huge chunk of episodes, and we wouldn't have any of the U.S. Acres shorts. I think, like a couple Binky shorts are still missing, but we've got most of the series in tact. Now if only they could rerelease the...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    The more I think about it... Planes would work better as a TV series. More characters to make toys of, for one thing. All I can think of is how much of a boon it was to Turbo. Now Turbo was a decent movie for what it was. For all the grief I gave it, when I finally let the curiosity get the...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I get what your getting at. My main complaint is this. Cars was an organic success because the want to make a movie about talking cars came before the merchandising. It was a concept that was toyetic naturally (much like Toy Story), but it was a film first. It became a runaway success for...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Neither can I, but there's a difference between making money off of a smash hit (I expect to see tons of Frozen merchandise forever, and the film critically and commercially deserves it), and trying to make a thing a thing with no takers. Cars is a strong franchise, Planes is only trying to...

    When you need to rant...

    I HATE THE CAPS BUTTON! Because I always wind up hitting it accidentally. It's incredibly useless. It's like... are you too lazy to hit the shift key and hold it? It doesn't even case change the number or punctuation buttons.

    If JIM HENSON was alive TODAY

    1) I don't think so. Something tells me that would never have been finished no matter what happened. The concept is stronger than the execution no matter who got to write it. There would certainly be other Muppet Movies in production, but I just don't think that would have seen the light of...

    Questions about anything

    And it's TLC, right? Or A&E? For me the bigger question is why on Earth do they need a documentary series about humongously fat people? Who's watching that? Other than thin guys who like to make fun of fat people and... well... eh... I guess people with fat fetishes or something. And (not...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    Either that, or more likely, what happened with the alleged Sesame Street movie. To wit (or is it to whit): the rumors circulating about the interest of a movie wound up like a telephone game with hearsay and wild guesses and turned into an official story involving specific people. Yet, when...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    Space Jam isn't a well liked movie, and Looney Tunes isn't a well liked property by Warner Bros. I remember back in the 90's you couldn't punt a football and not hit someone wearing a Looney Tunes shirt. They've been starting to give them some love recently because of The Looney Tunes Show...

    The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics

    NBC did an inexcusable job back with the 2012 Summer games. I don't care about sports period, so I can't judge if they did a better job this time. Me? I care much more about the Chojin Olympics. But darned if I'm not glad that messed up crap isn't real.
