Best Buy in KOP, PA had Rocky Mountain out the wazoo in the family section, but no Ed Sullivan or Storyteller... Looked everywhere for Storyteller - Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Family, TV Series... and when I finally asked, it wasn't even in the system, and Ed Sullivan DVD available online only. :p And...

Maybe not I was thinking about this, and maybe it's not bad. One of the things that has plagued the Muppets over the past decade (in my opinion) is a distinct lack of character. I was watching "Of Muppets and Men: The Making of the Muppet Show" the other day, and Frank Oz made a good...

Oh yeah... darn. You're right! I'd forgotten about that... Oh well, so much for continuity... Anyone seen Red Dwarf? There's an actual TV show that rewrites its own history time after time... What it all comes down to is - what's entertaining is what matters - none of these Star Trek/Wars...

I think most of these characters are from Dog City... However, Vicki was the red-headed, somewhat level-headed person backstage. I don't remember too much of her, as I missed a lot of these episodes the first time around. Of course, the Storyteller, is...well, you know! The Storyteller...

Seinfeld Babies The great thing is that the Muppets themselves made fun of this phenomenon (doo-doo, da doo-doo) in Muppets Tonight! with the Seinfeld Babies sketch. And for those of you trying to compile a definitive story of the Muppets, Gonzo himself has a tape of Muppet Babies in the...

Wow, I knew there would be loads of people to help with this... If you guys are interested, there is a P2P program that has some of the original 1st season shows with their original openings on their network. It's called eDonkey2000 - Warning: This is just another P2P program out there that...

Coming soon Location: Plymouth Meeting, PA Said they will be redoing their aisles next week! It's a massive store, so hopefully they will have them... The aisle counting thing was inconclusive - they have 2 aisles of figures, plus one of figures on clearance... - Derek

I saw a miss piggy one at Suncoast... They're scary looking things these giant Pez Dispensers... They look like giant disemobied plastic heads on stakes... but then I've never understood the whole world that is Pez... :confused: - Derek

About Time OK, it's about time I did this... My name is Derek, I've been coming to Muppet Central since the early days when everyone was afraid of posting photos of muppets online for fear of copyright infringement! Never really got into the online forum thing, but the Action Figures pulled...

Too bad That's kind of a big marketing failure if not even the rabid Muppet fans like us knew about it... I'm sure someone on here would have gone - It would have been fun to read about it! Oh well... Guess I'll have to keep my ears to the ground a bit more! For those of you who still...

I was savoring my Time Life DVD's... slowly consuming one episode at a time, but I went on a Binge the other night, watching like 4 or 5 in a row. I grew up mainly on the movies and specials, so most of the shows are new to me! Anyhow, it got me thinking about the opening theme song and the...

Manufacturing Errors Not being a figure collector, this whole action figure inspection thing is new to me. Plus, I get so excited when finding a new series I tend to overlook little problems... I've learned to look for painting mess-ups, but I do have two figures that have actual...

Anyone read the little item on Palisades section about the cruise this past week on the QE2? How on Earth did this slip by unoticed (by me at any rate)? Is there any more information on what was going on? - Derek

Their age-checking is messed up. It wouldn't take my real birth-year (1977), but it DID take 1966... go figure. I e-mailed the webmaster. Hopefully I won't win and then be disqualified because I "lied" about my birth-year... :P - Derek

I agree 100% - I will seriosuly consider the Xmas Carol set, and would absolutely buy a Mayhem set, but I'll be passing on the 1st set of random characters... I think the PVC's are a great way to produce themed versions of characters. A Great Muppet Caper set would be excellent! - Derek

Jim Henson Hour It just occurred to me - the release of the Storyteller on DVD is probably a good sign that my dream of having the Jim Henson Hour on DVD will never happen... Weren't many/most of the Storyteller episodes the 2nd half-hour of the JHH? By title alone, releasing half hour...

While the minis are neat, I'll still be passing. I'm a little underwhelmed. I have memories of Ken raving that these would be the best likenesses of the Muppets we'd ever seen, but they don't live up to the Action figures in my mind. :mad: Piggy's nose is too big. :attitude: Sam's...

Wow, that is great! The MTM one is somewhat over compressed, and there's none for GMC, but it is still an interesting resource - I got some replacements for my Back to the Future and Star Wars prequels covers too... Thanks! - Derek

So, I was thinking about the rather unpleasant covers on my 3 "classic" Muppet movie DVD's, and it occurred to me that I could replace them by simply printing out images of the original posters and slipping them under the plastic sheet... That leaves one problem - finding hi-res scans of the...

It comes in many forms. For instance, the form of the sad, disappointed, and rather angry look coming from your girlfriend that seems to say "How can I ever trust to you be able to feed our children when you just bought 15 DVD's of the Muppet show and STILL feel the need to buy what is...
