It isn't that they don't want the puppets to get out into the public (although they don't allow that anyway) but as has been said they just detiriorate and get tatty or turn to dust. I think there are ways of keeping them in special storage for the archives but i think they only do that for the...

Yeah i completely realise that, i get what you are saying. I've actually not been Disney's biggest fan around here upto now - in past conversations on here i've made major references to all the pitfalls there would have been in a sale to Disney, i just felt that it was the best option there was...

Disney might not be having the best time financially or even creatively in film right now but quite obviously they are a force in the business like no other and longterm have had enourmous success. Like it or not, there are certain things that Disney could do for the Muppets that the Henson...

I think success with the Megas will come as long as there is at least something recognizably different with each figure - Animal seems to be more popular and the hair is what people notice and say looks great. Beaker wasn't all that anticipated as a Mega but being a fan favorite has got a...

Longterm preservation was a worry and is a good reason why the Muppets have been bought by the kids, but then they don't have deep pockets like a larger media company - they'll only be able to go so far until selling again, the company has to start making more money itself. There was probably...

Yeah welcome back Movies205 and welcome back our very own entropic kid - Cory ! You have both been missed !

I had a Hamster (R.I.P) and now have a dog and a cat, plus another cat who can't decide whether he's left home or not after being asked to leave by the dog. I've not yet tested any of their reactions to Muppets but i know the Hamster used to love watching WWF pay per views at 3am in the morning...

Yeah NBC may well go for another movie, i guess the budget will be a fair bit smaller though but i think the last one was over what they needed so that's ok. I don't think there is that much alarm - i just casually mentioned that i didn't think the Muppets would work out on Fox from how i knew...

So amazingly Cory, she likes exactly the same bits as you ? LOL ! :p

Re: I HAVE RETURNED! Yeah this is my problem with Fox, that is exactly how they are - it's the tried and tested Rupert Murdoch way of running a media company the whole world over. There has never been a Muppet Show (or even Henson show) that has really instantly taken off - with the brand...

Thanks Jamie, yeah i understand what the schedules are generally like and how reality has pretty much taken over everywhere. The whole idea of what i call 'tabloidy' sometimes goes beyond the on-screen identities though and also reflects the internal politics of the channel and how decisions...

Beauregard :- They signed a final agreement, nothing is likely to change unless something really bad happened (like EMTV going bankrupt or something). I think we have our winner - it just takes a little time to all go through. Radionate :- Yeah i am familiar with the U.S networks but it's...

Yeah emphasise any graphic design you've done for entertainment, multimedia in any way. Also any experience you have of designing for kids things.

Now isn't this just absolutely fantastic stuff :- http://www.palisadestoys.com/new/whatsnew/thebit/index.html#

I think it's fairly possible there could be one, but the company doesn't officially get sold for another two months. I think it'd likely be next year when the new show hopefully goes on air and the company have got themselves together for a new licensing push. Certainly it was the people at...

Re: luke Jamie You got me wrong, i mean same show, different network. I don't want Kiddie-friendly, i want an entertaining mix of the classic Muppet show with todays style of shorter and sharper skits, witty writing and yes, some edge. I don't think they should completely alienate...

Awww Missy looks so cute - and Pascha looks like a fantastic character too.

Yeah i agree it's going to be the same - i don't see a massive difference in 1991-2001 than now. In that time we had MCC and MTI and under EMTV we had the Xmas movie and a bit of promotion. I don't think things will get worse so yes, maybe things can only go up from here but then again, money...

This is news of fantastic proportions Kevin - i am so excited for you ! I used to walk around dressed as a rabbit once AND i got to smooch with a female rabbit ! Maybe you should get Muley a girlfriend ? :o

Thanks for posting that link Patty - yeah it had been mentioned as not being completely impossible that the Kids could buy back the company but personally i always just brushed it off, they'd done well out of EMTV and i didn't think they'd compete with people like Disney and Sony but wow - they...
