    Videos: "Kermit's Party" sponsored by Bounty Paper Towels

    It's interesting that all three have the same opening footage, with different dialogue from Kermit. I noticed none of Frank Oz/Eric Jacobson's characters are present in these. I'm guessing he wasn't available. It would have been great to have seen The Electric Mayhem playing party music. This...

    Caroll Spinney Interview: Oscar the Grouch, Big Bird and Me

    I didn't know Lovelady didn't last on The Great Space Coaster, though I never saw that show (I assumed he was on for the whole run). But I doubt it was him, since he did continue with Henson throughout the 1970s. I think he might have been referring to Daniel Segren. It's known that he did...

    Target Muppets DVD Exclusive with 6 Muppet Show Episodes

    I hope this leads to Disney working harder on clearing music rights for season 4 (hopefully it won't lead to music rights holders raising their fees).

    Videos: Deleted Scene and Bloopers from "The Muppets" Blu-ray

    I'm going to give my thoughts on all of the deleted scenes on the blu-ray, and provide a rating system, with five stars being the best. Walter's Extended Nightmare - four stars I'm unsure as to whether I'd prefer the full scene to be in the movie. It would have given us more Muppet content...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets on Blu-ray and DVD

    Celebrities appear in the deleted scenes "A Hero in Hollywood", "The Strip Mall Awards", and "Muppets in Jail". Lady Gaga doesn't appear in any of the included deleted scenes. There's some others who also don't appear, unless I missed them (such as Mila Kunis).

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets on Blu-ray and DVD

    I listened to the commentary for the first time today. Since two of the four reviews I've read expressed disapointment over the commentary, I was expecting to be let down though still optimistic. And it turned out to be more on-topic than expected. I prefer commentaries that focus more on...

    Walter Celebrates the Muppets!

    Okay, here's a listing of what clips I'd have appear in the opening montage: The Muppets singing "Together Again" (the shot of them entering through doors) Kermit and Fozzie dancing (from The Muppet Movie) Statler and Waldorf dancing from "The Varsity Drag" The Muppets cheering in the screening...

    Part 3 Walter: The Muppets have a large musical library. Rowlf: That's right, Walter. Walter: They have performed all kinds of genres... Rowlf: From classical to jazz... Walter: From country to rap Rowlf: From disco to blues. Walter: And now, here's a sample of the Muppets' musical...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets on Blu-ray and DVD

    At first I wasn't thrilled with this feature because of it (and I've been pausing scenes a lot). Then I figured out I could turn off the intermission, though even without it on the blu-ray a "chapter selection" icon appears whenever I pause it. Not sure if it's just because I watch blu-ray on my...

    Target Muppets DVD Exclusive with 6 Muppet Show Episodes

    According to Muppet Wiki, the sampler has the episodes with Florence Henderson, Twiggy, Peter Sellers, John Cleese, Alice Cooper, and Sylvester Stallone. Wow, the two season two episodes were also included in the same Best of the Muppet Show DVD from Time-Life.

    Little things we've noticed

    I haven't really noticed much animation or CG work on The Storyteller, though. Watching The Muppets on DVD, I noticed that when the telethon begins, in the opening shot Zoot does not wear his hat, but when it cuts to Rowlf and Zoot, he's suddenly wearing his hat. And I think that's the only...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets on Blu-ray and DVD

    I got the blu-ray/DVD combo pack. I didn't see a need to have another copy of the soundtrack. I watched the movie, the deleted scenes, and the documentary. They're all good (I already knew the movie was). I haven't listened to the commentary yet. I wonder why they needed to include the...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I wonder how they obtained all the merchandise Walter had. It looks to me like most of it was more recent merchandise from after Disney bought the Muppets, but I wonder if The Jim Henson Company sent whatever Muppet merchandise it had in its archives to Disney, or if they purchased certain...
