    My Take on Artie Esposito

    I remember when I saw this... It's not often I make the effort to watch a Muppet guest appearance on a TV show I don't watch, at least not when broadcast, but I did choose to watch this. And I thought Artie's Kermit sounded more like Jim's, with a hint of Johnny Fiamma in the voice. But until I...

    The "It's A Great Time To Be A Muppet Fan" Thread - No Pessimism Allowed!

    I'll be surprised if the upcoming Funko Pop vinyl figures match the same level of quality, but maybe they'll measure up to the quantity, if not more.

    Cinemassacre reviews Elmo in Grouchland

    A review of Elmo in Grouchland by Mike Matiel has been posted at http://cinemassacre.com/2012/03/04/elmo-in-grouchland-1999-commentary/ The review is very funny, though not for kids (it's at cinemassacre, after all).

    Any Ernst Fans?

    I don't know what his reason for leaving the movies was (and Bobby only appeared in two without Chuck), but Gailard Sartain has acted since Ernest Goes to Jail. He was one of the main characters in 1994's Getting Even with Dad, and he voiced Big Daddy in the Simpsons episode The Simpsons...

    Pre-Order: "The Muppets" on Blu-ray and DVD coming March 20

    Watching Droop speak in one of the features, I've noticed that he sounds more like Scred than Droop.

    Little things we've noticed

    Is it just me, or is Gonzo a bit more egotistical than usual in Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuff (unfortunately, the person who uploaded it removed it recently)? He tries hard to hide the fact that he lives in a mansion, and he seems to have a number of self-congraduatory comments ("Naturally I...

    The "It's A Great Time To Be A Muppet Fan" Thread - No Pessimism Allowed!

    That sounds like a good appearance. But I can think of a better later appearance of Scooter: When he and Kermit presented the academy award for best animated short. Not quite sure when it happened, but I know it was in the 1980s. And the Children's Songs and Stories with the Muppets VHS also...

    Pre-Order: "The Muppets" on Blu-ray and DVD coming March 20

    Although I'm still skepticle on whether the performers will appear as themselves in any of the features, after watching a clip from the documentary where Droop and one of the frackles are interviewed, I think I'll be okay if the Muppet performers are left out if it means plenty of interviews...

    The "It's A Great Time To Be A Muppet Fan" Thread - No Pessimism Allowed!

    Wait, what was that 2009 Scooter appearance you speak of? Also, he was on Saturday Night Live in 2011, and he spoke a line about how the Muppets were on the show the first season. I wonder if maybe the comic books inspired/encouraged Disney to have more minor/obscure characters rebuilt. The...

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

    Here's a link showing clips from some of the bonus features: http://www.traileraddict.com/tags/the-muppets Some of the highlights include the deleted jail scene and part of the documentary, with dialogue from Droop. Interestingly, what's listed as "extended scene" is actually part of the...

    The "It's A Great Time To Be A Muppet Fan" Thread - No Pessimism Allowed!

    Yup, yup it is (well, one of the best things ever). Watching and listening, was that Matt Vogel playing Droop and the green scrabby frackle or whatever he's called? The frackle sounds a bit like Vogel's Uncle Deadley to me, though I feel I hear hints of Whitmire in the voice. And I would...

    I had no idea of that, though I noticed he wasn't in many of the viral videos. I wonder what'll happen next... Could Dr. Strangepork be the next Muppet to make a solo appearance? Or Thog? Or Wayne and Wanda?

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

    I already knew he was sympathetic. It seems with each version (first book, then special, then movie) he gets more and more sympathetic. And is it just me or did many of the characters in this look like the live-action versions of the Whos?

    The "It's A Great Time To Be A Muppet Fan" Thread - No Pessimism Allowed!

    Here's hoping the success of the movie will lead to them rebuilding more obscure characters! I wonder if the success of "The Muppets" will lead to more demand for non-Muppet puppet programs.

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

    Well, I saw it today, and I didn't think it was too bad. For me there weren't any dull moments, and I didn't notice any gross-out/bathroom humor or hip humor (though I did go to the restroom at one point). The movie was more of a straight adaption than I expected. I expected the storytelling...

    Ambiguous Monotones

    As far as I know the back-up singers didn't get their names until after their performers became consistient, I assume in the song "Four". With that logic I assuem the album version didn't have them address each other by name. So I wonder, how can you tell it's Chrissy with that voice in the...

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

    Judging by the commercials, I wonder if this really is an adaptation as much as it's a follow-up to the story (much like how Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland was really a sequel to the books). Something tells me that the parts resembling the original book will be very short... Like the boy goes...

    At first I thought it said "no permission allowed!" Yeah, this is a good time to be a fan. Two other good times to be fans that I can think of include the 1993-1996 period (when Buena Vista was releasing Muppet videos and Nickelodeon was frequently rerunning Muppet Babies, The Muppet Show, and...
