We have a Costco membership, and the monthly magazine/catalog/extended ad/whatever it's supposed to be just came in the mail today. Guess who's on the cover? I'll give you three guesses, and they're probably all correct. Kermit, Fozzie and Piggy! The headline is "Muppet mania! Their hit...

You know...in its flattened-out state, it sort of looks like he had an unfortunate encounter with an automobile....eesh.

I'm subscribed to all the Muppet stuff and all the Narnia stuff I can find on Facebook. After I read it, I had to go back and see which one had posted it. Pretty impressed; whoever wrote it knew their Muppet stuff! I would give good money to see Sweetums as Rumblebuffin, Uncle Deadly as Tash...

Right. And they should, because kids are inexplicably drawn to the worst stuff. That's why I kind of side-eye Kevin Clash when he responds to Elmo-haters by saying something like, "The kids let us know what they like and respond to." Just because kids like it doesn't make it good. (By the...

Wait, the Chipmunks beat The Muppets AND Harry Potter? Ouch. Why in the world do parents encourage their kids to watch garbage these days?

Right, exactly. I didn't say it was a good reason. :D

I'd like a happy medium. I remember being irked when Gonzo and Rizzo basically took over for the leads. But now I want them back. My problem is that I like everything. Anyway, I'm happy for Kermit and Piggy and Fozzie getting back to their rightful roles. I was okay with Pepe having only...

Yeah, but Link and the Newsman are minor characters. Bean hasn't been seen since MFS or so. Statler is always around, but he and Waldorf are usually off on their own, doing their own scenes. Beaker, God love him, is a (brilliant) one-note joke character. He's never going to be a main movie...

Of course it had whatnots; it's a Muppet movie! *rimshot* :o

My favorite is the argument in the park, with poor Gregory Hines trying to get his skates back. And the carriage ride immediately following. It's just all very them. But the wedding and "I miss you. I need you" are right up there. The first time I saw the latter, in the theater, I could...

This one's been making me giggle lately. In MTI Silver and Smollett are arguing whether to toast the voyage, and Fozzie keeps throwing drinks out of a window. A rat sticks his head in and says "You wanna knock it off with the booze? It's peeling the paint off the shuffleboard court." It's...

It's not a surprise, but it sure is great news. You know what this means, don't you? This is the part where we start to reel in all the little kids and turn them into raving Muppet fans. Bwahahaha. :crazy:

Hooray! Never thought I'd get to see this. Yay for the internet! And thanks for posting! That was fun; very cute. Now I want to see the show they were trying to put on. :D

I agree. I think you can have human, non-villain, semi-main characters in a Muppet movie. But I think they shouldn't really have scenes to themselves, with no Muppets. It should be more like Jenny in TMTM. If Gary and Mary could have worked out their issues in the theater with rats and...

You know what strikes me as odd? The ad for the movie that appears on Facebook's sidebar is a picture of Beaker, and the caption is something like, "Pepe, Rizzo, Beaker, all your favorites are back in The Muppets on blu-ray blah blah" ...Well, one out of three ain't bad, I guess? I'm not...
