That's the problem exactly. Not to mention the HD digital switch, even though they inconsistently use older footage in full frame. Arthur has the luxury of not having to screw up it format too mcuh, even though the animation looks very different season to season. Also... I noticed something...

Then again, I kept reading, for the longest time those poor reviews on Amazon of classic SS products that all were "I bought this for my not quite a year old child and he won't pay attention to it. This is a terrible product because I'm a too stoopit to know that someone who doesn't even have a...

If they ever did a Muppet sitcom type show, it would work as an episode. Even as a special. Unless they had an amazing script that managed to be funny and deep with the concept, something tells me the jokes would get stale around the (generous) 50-60 minute. And would we see Gonzo making the...

Ah, the "go out and buy our soundtrack of songs that mostly aren't even in the show" episode. I like it and all, but I really think it's disappointing they had those wonderful animated music videos for Jekyll/Hyde and the Library card one, and the rest were Disney Music Television (or Mighty...

BUT... Cheapest was also unfinished. I don't know about anyone else, but having something like that passed over seems better than having someone else finish it, making it something it's not. I don't know if they got Frank on board, but I'm sure they'd shove a lot of at the moment pop culture...

Considering I never actually saw the movies when I was that young, and my knowledge of it was based primarily off the back of a Wilson cake catalog, I couldn't differentiate which one was Star Wars and Star Trek when I was very little. I was 1 when ROTJ came out, barely. But seriously...

The thing is, it wasn't so much intended to be a safe film, so much as Jason and the rest absolutely hated the theme movies that the Muppets had to deal with since Henson's death. Disney didn't really tell them to make a safe movie, Disney actually considered "The Cheapest" movie, but they...

On the flipside... anyone catch that "protest" against General Mills for supporting Gay rights? The one where that schlubby quintessentially Midwestern stereotype of a guy burns a bowl of cereal with a blowtorch? GAW! I mean, not only are the cops hunting him down for something...

Several pages ago. One of the writers actually confirmed that wasn't the problem. I guess they hammered out home video rights long ago. Even if that wasn't the case, there's a LOT of episodes that actually didn't use any outside clips (mostly the last season). The fact of the matter is...

Know what really bugs me? There is a movie I desperately want Frank Oz's opinion on. it's just not a Muppet movie. Now, the question that's been plaguing me for sometime... What did Frank Oz think when they randomly remade Death at a Funeral only a couple years later to be palatable to an...

I could speak volumes about EW. it was there only because Elmo became a breakout star at the time, his merchandise was pretty much funding episodes, and they wanted to dump something at the 45 minute mark because the new younger skewing demographic can't sit still for a full hour for some...

That was a subtlety that was LONG gone with Henson. It had more of that Muppet feeling than the past projects, but that's another thread all together. You cannot replicate something when someone leaves a project or dies. And as I said, no matter how hard you try, your personal style fails...

Actually, I liked that. It gave a sense of "Yeah, we should have known something stupid was going to happen all along, let's roll with it." But I suspect that it was more of the old writer's trick of not pointing out the obvious, presuming the panic happened during Fozzie's scene. I kinda...

It has "quiet respectable comedy that is released just before the Fall" written all over it. I'd say you'd have to be part of an old married couple to really appreciate the film. Same reason why I don't care for "As Time Goes By" and my local PBS was forcibly shoving it down everyone's throats...

Expressing interest in something and actually doing something are two different things. Sometimes, things out of network control can stunt a project. Look at the Wonder Woman pilot NBC ordered and then dumped. It was terrible (supposedly), and it would have killed them in the ratings and have...

But technically, that's not "more." They probably would reair that anyway.

Little kids think everything is Elmo. Like I said before, I wore a T-Shirt of this guy: When the Third one came out, mind you... And the kid STILL thought it was Elmo. Granted, it was an all face shirt. This report really doesn't say how old the kid is... can't be older than 3. Kids...

I'd be VERY angry if I was accused of something I didn't do. I'd shout and scream and flip the heck out to prove it wasn't me. I don't see why more people who say "Don't lump me in with them" aren't trying to correct others themselves by distancing them. I LOVE Sonic the Hedgehog, but make it...

Supposedly, Disney owns the rights lock, stock, and barrel to the special, and supposedly wouldn't need JHC or SW's permission... but I'm sure they'd have to deal with them somehow so as not to sour any relationships. I don't fully buy that, someone said it a while back (I forget who), and I'm...

Well, that stuff WAS said on a radio show. Law of averages suggests it could have been a fairly right wing one. So basically, we should have known all along about his views (even though the fact he funds his views to become a reality IS the main problem at hand). I wouldn't doubt that he's...
