No doubt because MVA had a huge amount of buzz well before the movie premiered. Having Colbert play the president couldn't have hurt.

When the characters started just being mean to each other, I kinda lost interest. I mean, at least when they were being mean to just Meg that had root in the fact that Fox basically forced a female character on them they didn't know how to write for... but when Peter made a ringtone of Joe...

Ben Shapiro's a far right anus. Nuff said. Sounds freaking awesome, if you ask me.

Is there a trope for when some kid plays hookey from school and that's apparently the day everything good happens? Seen that too many times.

The difference is that FG makes so much money for Fox that even Seth MacFarline can't get out of it. And trust me... he wants to. Fox wouldn't even let Seth leave to do Ted unless they rushed out the ROTJ parody... and he didn't even like doing it. The parody text crawl is a long winded rant...

I want to see merchandising from this. The movie toy line was TRU exclusive, meaning scalpers basically hoarded them to sell for double or triple their worth on e-bay... especially the B.O.B./ President figure pack... making the toy line impossible to find. That made the fast food McD's toys...

While I would hate to see something rushed, they really need to strike while the iron is hot. Henson is trying to reestablish the brand so a movie makes financial sense. Unfortunately, movies make the brand now. Too many of these studios put too much on the performance of a movie, and you...

I always thought part of the problem that digital downloading (legal or otherwise) arose from was the music industry cranking out crappy dance music from one hit wonders. No one's going to buy an album for one song, especially if it was a one hit wonder dance mix thing. There are like 3 songs...

While it's debatable about other long segments that have popped up on Sesame Street over the past 12 or so years, Monster Clubhouse didn't really jive with the rest of the show. Sesame Street always had a brisk pace, but Monster Clubhouse was totally insane. I mean, there's a reason why Yakko...

Kung Fu Panda holds up very good as a TV series. It's very faithful to the film and manages to be deep. Not quite as deep as the movie, but it has the same mix of comedy and heart. Just in a 22 minute package. MVA works great as a series because the film was so incredibly madcap you can...

This thread calls for a vegetarian snack Actually not too bad.

As much as I am for closing/locking this thread until we get further updates... Henson totally wants Fraggle Rock to be their standout franchise. You can't blame them. After the EMTV sale and eventual sale back to Disney, FR is the only original Muppet property that Henson owns. Disney has...

Think of it this way... they saved you from those dreadful last seasons. Man, those were awful. When most of the original cast left the series, it wasn't all that good. And note... some of them are voice over personalities now. Phil Lamarr, Alex Borestine, Nichole Sullivan. I hear Shout's...

Monsters Vs, Aliens was a cult film. It never gained the big attention that Kung Fu Panda, Shrek, or Madagascar, and because it didn't perform well in some foreign market, it didn't even get a sequel. A Television show would have been a better choice anyway. I thought it would be more like a...

Monster Clubhouse was a bit too wacky for the show. It really felt like something from those Muppet Time segments on Nickelodeon. Of course, the accidental innuendo, "Furry Triangle Feel Good,".... well... how the heck did they not catch that!?!

There are Buffy comic books out there. Possibly collected into GN form.

The true problem is, the Muppets need a regular project that allows them to be deep. Only times I see Piggy act like that is in small TV appearances, interviews especially. I don't so much think it's not having a handle on the character so much as an inability to show any of it in interview form.

It seems like, if nothing else, the contract was fulfilled and it would be too expensive on the whole (not just the voice acting) to renegotiate for one more season.

Know what I hate when they make TV Shows and movies into graphic novels? Cinemanga. Crappily taking screen shots and adding word balloons. I'm not a huge fan of direct adaptions of episodes/movies... but at least give me original artwork. Even if it sucks.

They're far more careful these days, that's for sure. I'm sure the 2 year old late complaints by tin foil hat far righters whining that Fox News got a slight aside comment (i.e. the same exact "news" source that constantly picks on Sesame Street) wasn't helpful, either. But look at the article...
