As far as I know, Henson's memorial service was never broadcast on any TV channel. A copy or two have popped up on Ebay, but those were presumably recorded with a camcorder by someone in attendance at the service. There is an excellent special entitled "The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson"...

I highly recommend Zach Braff's new movie "Garden State." I saw it this past weekend and it was absolutely incredible. For those who don't know, Braff is the lead actor on the TV series "Scrubs" and he wrote/directed/stars in this movie. In Garden State, he plays a guy in his mid-20s who...

Sorry, but Muppet Magazine hasn't been published since the late 1980s. Old issues can likely be found on Ebay though.

Sorry, but this is a ridiculous post. The poor guy was found 'not guilty' in a court of law and that should be the end of it. It sounded to me like the girl (or her mom) just wanted a nice cash settlement from Disney. Have you ever worn one of those costumes? I have and the vision IS...

Well, it's too late for that. The DVD version is already butchered (even though it's not Disney's fault). I don't expect MFC to be released in any form by Disney regardless of any partnerships with Sesame Workshop down the line.

I'm not sure if anyone else has posted this yet, but Sesame Street recieved a couple Primetime Emmy nominations today. The show was nominated for Best Children's Program and Music & Lyrics. Both nods were for this spring's "Sesame Street Presents: The Street We Live On" special. Here's a...

Yeah, this must have been way under the radar. I couldn't even find anything about it on IMDB.com--and they usually have all those obscure movies.

I haven't seen it yet, but I might check it out eventually. Generally, politically charged films like this one bore me--after all, it's really just one person's slant on the whole thing. Someone else could just as easily make a movie that portrays Bush as a hero. I don't agree with...

As mentioned before on this forum, Jim Hill uses a lot of hyperbole and half-truths in his columns. It's entirely possible the ride never got beyond a brainstorming session and (maybe) a few rough sketches. For one, the animatronics and special effects described in the column would be insanely...

Memories? Heck, the Muppets WERE my childhood. I watched Sesame, TMS, and Fraggle Rock religiously--but my favorite programs were the 80s Henson specials (i.e. Muppet Family Christmas and A Celebration of 30 Years). Those specials were events at our house. Of course, I had tons of Muppet...

That would be Cringer. When Prince Adam becomes He-man, Cringer turns into Battle Cat. Those are two of my favorites too!! Actually, anyone from Masters of the Universe is cool since it's my favorite cartoon of all-time. Gosh, I wish they'd air the 80s version again. I also like Dr...

I have it on my Time Warner digital lineup here in Ohio. It was just added a couple months ago. If you're into old cartoons, it's pretty good--lots of Smurfs and Tom and Jerry it seems like.

The show aired for several weeks back in spring/summer 1989 on NBC. I believe there were about 13 episodes. The show ran for 60 minutes with the first half devoted to the Muppets (both classic like Kermit and newer ones like Bean and Clifford) as they ran a TV station. The second half hour was...

There is no mention of Muppet Babies on the Hallmark Channel website. If anything, I'd expect it to show up next on ABC Family or Toon Disney--though that's just a guess.

I haven't heard of any plans. My understanding is that the special is (at least partially) owned by John Denver's estate which obviously complicates a DVD release. Besides, I'm not sure that it would be high on Disney's priority list right now. Then again, who would have ever thought...

Frasier is getting the Dateline retrospective treatment on Tuesday next week. However, there's several reasons why its finale hasn't been as hyped as Friends. First, Friends was always more of a "water cooler" type show--the kind of thing people would talk about in their office the next...

Fair enough. After thinking about it, I agree the special itself is pretty boring. But, it's got great Christmas music. Maybe that's just my favorite Muppet special soundtrack. LOL.

Muppet Family Christmas is the best Henson production ever. Period. As others have said, the songs and crossovers are great. But, my favorite part is the Swedish Chef--he's hilarious in this special. For me, this is the absolute peak of the Muppets. The Muppets: A Celebration of 30...

That's cool!! These were some of my favorite Muppet products as a kid. I still have mine somewhere in my parents' basement. I know they made Animal, Scooter, and Gonzo too. Were there any other characters besides those seven? Best of luck in the auction!!

Yeah, it's called "The Terminal" and he plays a man who's passport becomes invalid after his country ceases to exist in the middle of his flight. Thus, he's not allowed to leave the airport. Catherine Zeta Jones plays a stewardess who becomes his love interest. I believe it's based on a true...
