    Most Obnoxious Fandoms

    Okay, I'm risking a lot of hate by saying this, but . . . . in recent light of what's going on with Disney, I think some of us Muppet fans are becomming a bit obnoxious . . . . (ducks on-coming flaming sticks and flying chickens)

    Those Strange Kiddie Videos on YouTube: What's the Deal?

    I think I need some Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake after seeing these.

    Favorite Characters Then and Now

    I was born in 1982, so I guess my Sesame Street years would be between 1983 and 1996. However, I did occasionally watch some episodes into the early 2000's (but not often, and I didn't care much for "Elmo's World.") My favorite characters on Sesame Street were always Big Bird, Cookie Monster...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    You're probably not the only one who feels like this I'm sure, however I'm not one of them. I never really felt Kermit was, as you say, "a too-friendly wuss." It's all in the interpretation. I'm not saying you're wrong, though, I'm just saying I, personally, never saw Kermit as that, and I still...

    Dealing with depression and anxiety

    Hugs, Beth. I hope everything will work out.

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    I was reading Jim's biography on Thursday, and something in it got me to thinking. Jim and his kids are definitely different people. In the bio, it said Jim had said to his agent, "never sell anything I own." This was in regard to the commercials he created for Munchos. I found that interesting...

    I still say it's from both sides.

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    It's not that I have trouble with Disney (I love Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck), it's just that I don't like the way Disney's handling the Muppets as of late. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed "The Muppets" 2011, and I also enjoyed "Muppets Most Wanted," but the TV show made me want to cringe...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    You're right, it doesn't mean that they're "destroying" the Muppets. But it's just what it seems like sometimes. Just my opinion. What, am I not allowed to have a negative opinion on Disney?

    Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

    Spare a moment to look at a pig's fanart?

    Your Big Bird is a lot better than my Big Bird!

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    I'm glad Steve's decided to take the high road when it comes to the allegations of Brian, Lisa, and Cheryl. I kind of agree with him on some of the points he made in the article, though. Especially about Disney destroying the Muppets, if the 2015 series is anything to go by. (I apologize to...

    Dealing with depression and anxiety

    Depression sucks. I've been suffering from it for 12 years. I'm on daily medication, and I see a psychiatrist and a therapist once a month, and that helps a lot. I still get into these deep blue funks every now and again though, for no discernable reason (mostly when the whether changes, or...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    If I may say, Steve is in front of an audience, and he has to act different in front of the audience, whether it be on camera or not, than he would if he wasn't.

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    IMNSHO (and probably an unpopular one at that), I'm going to go out on a limb and say that being Kermit might have gone to Steve's head, and sometimes, a supercharged ego can cause a person to become Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which would explain why he might have been difficult to work with (I...

    I'm partial to Jim's Kermit, too. That's the one I'm the most used to.

    Big Bird and Caroll Spinney on What's My Line? (1972)

    Definitely 70's. Nice outfit, Carroll.

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    That's what I've been saying. Something doesn't add up here. I tell ya, I'm confused! :batty: That's one! One confused aardvark! Ah-ah-ah-ah! (sorry, I couldn't resist)
