    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    Probably for the same reason Disney left him out of Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody, Letters to Santa, the Studio DC specials, the Lady Gaga special (does Disney own the distribution company that distributed that special?), The Muppets, the Kermit's Party videos, The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora (he...

    April Fools: Every Muppet production on Netflix

    Really? That's the one program that made it unbelievable? Okay, maybe if I said it included the unaired episodes (I could see the finished footage being on a DVD set but not Netflix). I would have thought my mention of the pilot versions of the first two Muppet Show episodes or maybe the Here...

    April Fools: Muppets to do TV special with Belinda Carlisle and other '80s stars

    Well, it could have been Disney thinking the "success" was successful enough. Or it could have been a game of "telephone", me reading an article first, writing what I remember from the article (without actually looking at it while I type) and mistakenly thinking I saw it mention the "success"...

    60 Years of Muppets...

    Last year I posted news of a big Muppet CD set on April Fools day, but I think it would make for a great set. The post: http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/april-fools-new-muppet-album-coming-fall-2013.54433/#post-1032852 My article also listed two phoney entries from Muppets Most...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    One thing I find interesting about Mr. Peabody and Sherman is that, with the exception of their visit with leonardo DaVinci, all of their trips involve some sort of adventure for the two. In the original segments, they usually weren't in any major danger, but in the movie Sherman's life is often...

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    I know that the ending of the finale (well, the part with the kids, we never see them and future Ted at the same time) was filmed during the second season. I wonder if the creators had planned on having Robin marry Barney at that point and didn't want to not use the ending.

    April Fools: Every Muppet production on Netflix

    As I was scrolling Netflix, I found The Muppet Show... and then The Jim Henson Show (the MuppeTelevision segments of The Jim Henson Hour)... and then Muppet Babies, and Muppets Tonight, and Hey Cinderella, and The Muppets Go to the Moives, and most of the movies, and "Muppet Shorts" (which...

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    I like last episodes, though sometimes they can go too far, such as The Mary Tyler Moore Show cast getting fired, the cast of Dinosaurs facing extinction, and How I Met Your Mother trying a bit too hard to be sad in the last episode (and wasn't it said that the gang never missed Robots vs...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    On June 10 there'll be a DVD entitled "Monster Manners", which will include Rosita trying not to be pushy, Cookie Monster's initiation into a cookie club, and Prairie Dawn teaching Cookie Monster good table manners. The one with Prairie Dawn isn't linked on the Muppet Wiki article, so I don't...

    April Fools: Muppets to do TV special with Belinda Carlisle and other '80s stars

    Well, this time I wasn't trying to be too believable.

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    I don't think the finale was as bad as everybody's complaining about, but unlike the whole series before it, I don't think the finale was perfect. I was expecting more of the mother in the last episode, but it seems she wasn't used as much as she should have (I also had a similar problem the...

    April Fools: Muppets to do TV special with Belinda Carlisle and other '80s stars

    It's just been announced that, after the success of last Thanksgiving's Lady Gaga special, that the Muppets are now going to do a special with various pop stars from the 1980s, but mostly Belinda Carlisle. The special will be entitled "Belinda Carlisle and the Muppets Karaoke Jam", and will...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Well, I saw Mr. Peabody and Sherman today. It was a great movie. I had read that a photo of Bullwinkle appears in the background, but I didn't catch it. I assume it's in an early scene where we see several pictures on the wall, there were too many for me to get a good look at them all fast...

    What's Your Non Muppet Figure Wishlist?

    I was at Toys R Us today, and it seems there are Mario playsets like the ones in my previous wishlists, only they don't seem to be inspired by any speciffic games. In some ways they are bigger than what I had in mind, and in other ways they are smaller than what I had in mind (no backdrops, for...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    After many years of not being available on home video due to rights issues, both The Wonder Years and the original Batman series are getting complete series sets this year. Considering the long wait (and the fact that every episode of The Wonder Years can be viewed on Netflix), why release the...

    What's Your Non Muppet Figure Wishlist?

    Okay, a better Mario line-up: Series based on each game, with multi-character boxed sets and mini-playsets: Cardboard backdrops representing certain levels, floating bricks, ? blocks (or already-hit ones), and coins that can easily be placed onto the backdrops, and a plastic ground/platform...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    It's been a long time since I last saw the movie, but in Charlotte's Web, is the girl aware that her uncle is keeping Wilbur to cook him as bacon? She had kept Wilbur as a pet for some time, and when her father needed to sell or get rid of the pig, he decided to give it to his brother, so the...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Most Wanted Original Soundtrack

    And, according to the Junior Novel, didn't Miss Piggy leave the Muppets first in The Muppets, which is what led to the Muppets all splitting up in the first place? People wonder who did the translating for The Swedish Chef. It sounds like Ricky Gervais to me. Though the booklet only refers...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    Part of me wonders if the next Muppet movie should be them doing a show again or not. The Muppets are great when they do a show (and it provides a great way to incorporate so many fan favorite characters), but maybe the next movie shouldn't feature another version of The Muppet Show theme, or...
