I prefer McDonald's fries, but Burger King as more variety overall.

I remember that! They showed us it in school, back in the '80s when there were so much Anti-Drug publicity. Even then I was amazed at how they put so many varied cartoon characters together and make it work so well. There were Kermit, Piggy and Gonzo, Michaelangelo (from TMNT, totally tubular...

Definitely, the Mean Genie episode disturbed me as a kid, I can still remember watching in my Family Room. Still, it's a really good story; the lesson is if you don't stand up to evil, it will just continue to grow. I don't remember being scared of the Gorgs. But I remember not liking the...

Those three specials (Secrets of the Muppets, Of Muppets and Men, and Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson) are all at The Museum of TV and Radio in New York City. For viewing, not purchase, but still. They're all great behind the scenes shows. Of Muppets and Men had so much puppeteer footage I'd...

Yeah I agree with that, now that I'm seeing the episodes on DVD for the first time in years. The original idea seems to have been that the Fraggles lived in their own little enclosed world and thought themselves the epitome of civilization. They couldn't imagine leaving their home, what was...

I don't think all the blame can be placed on The Muppets. As was already said, The Muppets have always tried to emulate the current popular culture, including adult humor. The real problem is pop culture took something of a nose dive sometime around the mid-'90s and never fully recovered...

I really wish I could have seen that episode. Sounds like it was before my time.

When I was really young I loved Fozzie. I had a Baby Fozzie costume for Halloween when I was 4 or 5. I remember going to a friend's Halloween party only to find out she had the same costume! We still laugh about that to this day. Some people may not agree with this but I think Baby Fozzie is...

It makes sense that Richard Hunt wouldn't want Elmo for that reason, heh. This topic reminds me of a DVD I found recently "Sesame Street Play Along Games and Songs." Basically it's an Sesame Segment from the 1980s where Big Bird, Elmo and Forgetful Jones play games and try to remember them...

The Museum in New York in open from 12P to 5P everyday except Mondays. Its viewing library is open all year and has a ton of Muppet stuff. I was an intern at The Museum over the summer, it's such a great place. I went to one of the Muppet screenings a few Sundays ago. It was such a great...

I remember liking Boober, he was funny the way he was always worried or annoyed or doing laundry. Actually, I watch him now and he reminds me of Squidward on Spongebob Square Pants.

Wow, I can't believe how expensive that is. I still have the album of Rocket to the Stars. Mom and I used to dance to it, ah memories. :)

Well that camera pan into Doc's window during the theme song always slightly freaked me out, heh. I remember an episode where Boober wants to move away and live alone. He eventually finds a place, but it makes you forget things. He eventually forgets his friends. The other Fraggles try to...

I'm going to say Janice, it's not often you see a female lead guitar player! And she has like a totally awesome voice, fer sure! :flirt: Floyd's really funny the way he tries to be hip despite the "squareness" around him (I also like his laugh, that "Heh, heh, heh!"). I used to think Zoot was...

I saw the Bert and Ernie one, hilarious. I wish I'd seen the Beaker one. Family Guy is amazing, one of the best parts of the show are the random pop culture references they manaage to work into any situation.

I don't think the problem is that The Muppets are using sexual humor or promoting a product. Obviously they did both of those things for years. The question is whether it's done well. When The Muppets used to use sexual humor, it was usually with adult subtlety and sophistication. I'm not sure...

Aw, just as I sat down to type this message, Big Bird came on the Muppet Central Radio. Congrats, Caroll! Like everyone's been saying, he's very deserving of this for the work he's done with Big Bird and Oscar all these years. I really hope they air it on TV.

I got Zoot...looks like I skipped a groove again. :cool:

Yeah I think that's right, because they are "Muppets" as opposed to "real grown ups."

Too true, too true. About MeepBorkMeep's question. I've noticed that inconsistency too. Personally I always thought the "basketball" comment sounded like some PR statement that probably wasn't researched, but looked nice in print.
