    My own personal open rant

    I figured that. I feel most of my family might be biased on my creativity, though there's some relatives who I don't think are biased like that. But it makes me wonder how hard it is to work with family and/or friends in a creative business, especially if you are in the hiring/firing...

    Are there any Gonzo Bobblehead Dolls?

    I'm pretty sure there's not one yet. Funko is coming out with a collection of Muppet bobbleheads this july, but Gonzo won't be included in the first assortment (maybe there'll be a second series).

    Why does everyone overreact to bad swings in entertainment?

    I read on Mark Evanier's blog that Scooby Doo was originally intended on being based on Dobie Gillis, but by the time it premiered it no longer resembled that series.

    My own personal open rant

    This is the first I've heard of KGZ, and it's also the first I've heard of people not liking self-promotion. Had no idea some thought it was a big deal. You seem to be one of the more-respected members here, so it's hard to believe you'd turn off a big number of people just by advertising on...

    "Hidden Messages" in The Muppets (2011)

    I feel like it might not be as noticable because it's during the credits, when people in the theater might start getting up and leaving despite there being more (and the sounds of them leaving could distract those trying to watch). Something has hit me: The new Disney "Intermission" feature...

    What improvements would you have made to The Muppets Film 2012 (spoilers)

    A few ideas of what they could have had Walter say, regarding minor characters.... While bringing the gang back together, Walter could have suggested picking up Thog next. Or, if the scene with "Mahna Mahna" playing on the radio wasn't cut, it could have inspired Walter to suggest locating...

    Are Gonzo and Grover related?

    I've also noticed similarities when I was younger, like their sur colors and the fact that both names begin with a G.

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    Well, I was told that my aunt took my 1-year-old cousin to see the Lorax, and that the 1-year-old hated it. I don't exactly know if it was the movie or the experience of being in a movie theater, though we took her to see The Muppets and didn't make much of a fuss. But you could take this as a...

    My Justin Bieber Rant and Rave

    Yeah, while most of my favorite groups/bands/singers started out decades ago (if not exclusive to a decade), there are still some good current performers, like Kelly Clarkson (though I'm not really sure whether she's still current), Nora Jones (ditto), Katy Perry, and OK Go. So not all current...

    Little things we've noticed

    I'm not saying you're wrong, but I watch music videos from the 1980s a lot more than videos from later. While I agree some do feel like they tell stories (Take on Me, Beat It, I Promise You, Love is a Battlefield, maybe Can't Fight This Feeling), it seems to me like they are more about quick...

    My Justin Bieber Rant and Rave

    I don't see any problems with people becomming famous overnight without having to suffer for years. Some are in the business for years before hitting it big, and some became famous shortly after starting (though I don't exactly know of any examples of people who literally got instant stardom...

    "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story" documentary in development

    Wow. So the Spinney's have had their own behind-the-scenes footage from Follow That Bird? It's a shame Carroll didn't let them use that on the Follow That Bird anniversary DVD.

    Non-Muppet FTB songs

    I'd like to talk a little bit about the Follow That Bird songs "All Together Now" and "Working on my Attitude". Both of these songs are sung by groups or singers, as opposed to Muppets or cast members. And while they appear in the film, they are barely heard. Anybody got any idea why these...

    Your Muppet Home Video (DVD/Blu) MUSTS

    I feel everything with the Muppets needs to be on DVD. But some things in particular, besides seasons 4 and 5 and better editions of the movies... Tales from Muppetland - I think it was rumored back in 2005 that such a set was planned, but nothing official was ever announced. I am especially...

    The Muppets © Disney

    I wonder if the next instance of a Kermit clip appearing on Sesame Street, whether the show itself (which I sort of doubt will happen, since the show rarely shows any pre-HD stuff and Elmo's World will be dropped next year) or on a DVD, will note this in the credits.

    What improvements would you have made to The Muppets Film 2012 (spoilers)

    Regarding the Fozzie replacement, in the junior novel, Miss Poogy bosses Fozzie around, pointing out that "Foozie the Moopet is just waiting to take your place!" So they may have already known him. Also in the novel, I think Uncle Deadley attacks them. I'd have to check again, though. In the...

    The Muppets After The Muppets - Episode 10: In the Fun House

    I think this is a good time to end my "The Muppets After The Muppets" series. I didn't plan on doing new ones forever, and I did post quite a few episodes within the first weeks of starting them. I'll continue to do new fan fics, and Walter will appear from time to time (heck, I think he's been...

    The Muppets After The Muppets - Episode 10: In the Fun House

    Act 3 Scooter and Walter found themselves in a room full of cobwebs, “Eww, I’ll need to take a bath when we get out”, said Walter. Scooter looked around. “Hey, where’s Thomas?”, asked Scooter. “Wasn’t he right behind us?”, said Walter. “Well he’s not now”, said Walter. “Not now...

    Act 2 Scooter and Walter were walking down a long stairway. “I hope we get out soon”, said Scooter, “I want to see some of the other attractions.” They got to the bottom, and found a door. “Well, maybe this is how we leave”, said Scooter. They opened the door, but noticed it led to the...

    Any deleted scenes videos?

    It seems Disney doesn't take YouTube clips down. Over the years there's been many Muppet clips online, as well as other Disney properties. I've seen many Disney shorts, specials, trailers, and TV shows online, and I think many Disney-owned movies are on YouTube as well. The only Disney-owned...
