This is a wierd one. When I was about six or seven I was at the Babysitters. Bored, I picked up a magazine and started thumbing through it. There I saw what I now know was an ad for Fraggle rock. This was before the series had actually started. The ad featured a picture of the top half of...

Yeah, I wondered about that too. Most movies are heavily merchandised to the point where the market's flooded even before the movie's released. We should be seeing something by now. I'm hoping that if the movie becomes popular it'll light a fire under the butts of various merchandisers and I'll...

If the movie is a success ( and I hope very much it will be ) I'm sure muppet toys will be plentiful.

Truthfully I haven't had much exposure to Pepe myself. There was a long stretch there when I didn't pay much attention to the Muppets. The only post Jim Henson stuff I've seen was MCC, MTI, The Muppets Christmas movie that aired in prime time a few years back and a few episodes of Muppets...

Hmmm I think I may have had a similar Big Bird. I think mine talked though. If I remember correctly I went through two or three of them because they'd stop working and my parents would have to go out and buy me a new one. I also had a Super Grover plush at one point. I also remember being kind...

Truthfully I never thought about it up until now but it is a good point.

I grew up in Greenville Mississippi which, granted, wasn't the best place to grow up, but most of my inner circle appreciated quirky, funny things like the Muppets. For the most part I didn't get along with people who didn't like that kind of stuff. I was too wierd for those types. I took a lot...

I'm here because even though I hated my childhood and wouldn't relive it if you paid me there are still a few things from said childhood I still love and the works of Jim Henson are one of them. Growing up I had big plans. I was going to create creatures for films for a living. Later on in...

I wasn't even aware that people existed that didn't like the Muppets until I casually made a Muppets reference when a gaming buddy of mine were together playing Xbox and he said "I hate the Muppets". I was shocked. I had been on this planet a little more than twenty years by that point and had...

The fact that there's probably not going to be a Fraggle Rock movie makes me incredibly sad. Fraggle Rock is one of the few things from my childhood I still have a great amount of affection for. As for POTDC, I'd kind of like to see what Del Toro would do with the project. I really liked his...

Yeah, me too. I need a Rowlf toy. Any kind will do. I hope the film becomes a massive success and as a result you can't swing a dead cat in a Wal mart toy aisle without hitting something with a Muppet on it.

Rowlf is one of my heroes but I'm not sure he'd appreciate being referred to as a pet. That being said I'd have to go with Sprocket. I just love Sprocket. I was so mad when I got internet access and found out there was a Sprocket plush in the 80s. Yet another toy dog shaped hole in my...

I've seen talk of Gremlins 3 on several different websites and forums. All there were were rumors with no substantial evidence that such a film was actually being planned. The last I heard of it was several years ago. I can't remember where. Gremlins 3 is one of those movies I'd like to see...

It seems there's always talk on the internet of sequels to popular 80s movies. for example Gremlins 3, Ghostbusters 3 or Goonies 2, but nothing ever seems to come of it. I'd love to see a Ghostbusters 3 but I won't believe it's actually coming until I see a trailer.

No. School was a horrible experience for me. It was so bad I now have a severe phobia of finding myself in a situation where I can't just walk away if I need to. I tend to panic in classroom situations now. Years ago I wanted to get into robotics. I gave up on that dream when I realized I'd have...

So what fond memories does everyone have of muppet stuff they had growing up? The first time I was obsessed with getting a toy was the Fisher Price Rowlf puppet. I saw an ad for the Fisher Price Muppet collection in one of my mom's magazines and immediately fell in love with the Rowlf puppet. I...

I'm going to say this point blank. For the most part I think the way most people worship celebrities is idiotic. Most of these yahoos are shallow idiots who think just because they get paid millions to act in front of a camera their opinions matter more than the rest of us. But there are...

I had the same problem with my iguanas. The vets in my area had no idea how to treat them. They tried, but in the end both died of illnesses the vets just couldn't figure out how to treat. I still miss them. People think lizards don't show affection and aren't intelligent. Those people are...

Wow, has it been that long? Alf was my favorite show when I was a kid. I got the first two seasons on DVD for Christmas last year. After watching it again for the first time in years I find I still love it as much as I ever did.

Hello, I'm Robodog and I've been a Henson fan ever since I can remember. I grew up in the 80s which was a great era for Henson stuff. I've seen all three original Muppet Movies in theatres though with the first one I kind of have to take my mom's word for it as I was only two at the time. I was...
