Okay, I've read the ten-page online preview, and read the description at Muppet Wiki, but does the comci ever say what the letter Kermit got was all about? Seems like an important plot point, and the description at Muppet Wiki makes a point of mentioning it, but what is the letter about that...
Interesting that in that draft of the script the Muppets are practically absent for the first 15 minutes. Similar to how Space Jam spent too much time before getting to the Looney Tunes.
Well, I bought it, and the picture quality really is better than I had been used to. Interestingly, I watched a little of it in spanish, and the songs are still heard in english. I do find it odd that on the packaging, it lists Kermit the Frog as a copyright of The Jim Henson Company as opposed...
Episode 4
Introduction
Kermit announces that the show will have a big shakespearian sketch, and then introduces Miss Piggy in the opening number.
Opening Number: Waterfalls
Miss Piggy sings, avoiding waterfalls that come from out of nowhere.
Audience
Elmo, Zoe, Abby Cadabby...
That's good news for me. I went to both comic stores in my area, neither had it, one is going out of buisness, and the other one only sells back issues of comics.
I didn't know it either. And now my reply to that seems awkward to those who didn't see it earlier, since it appears to be an out-of-place comment regarding the link.
Of course, Frank Oz did recieve directors credit for The Dark Crystal, though according to an interview he considered it to be Jim Henson's film, with Oz just helping out on a few scenes.
I do wonder why the Sesame Street movies were directed by non-Sesame people (well, I assume that the EIG...
Episode 3
Introduction
Kermit introduces Pepe in the opening number.
Opening Number: Mambo No. 5
Pepe sings, backed by a marching band consisting of Lips on trumpet, Trumpet Girl on trombone, Howard Tubman on tuba, Animal on marching drums, and Clifford on glockenspiel. Several...
I don't agree. Bert obviously doesn't want to be the princess ( wonder why the fairy godmother couldn't have been the princcess, too), and Ernie leaves Bert behind after the story is done.
If the show were adapted into a movie, I could see Steelbeak employing The Fearsome Five as members of F.O.W.L., so that Darkwing's six biggest enemies (well, I don't know if I'd consider The Liquidator as one of his biggest enemies) can be in the movie.
Man, I saw Jailbird, and I expected...
I've been thinking for the last few weeks of an idea for a Muppet block and a few different series. Basically the idea would be to have four new Muppet shows, basically spin-offs, and shown either at the start or end of a two-hour Muppet television block which would also include three episodes...
I thought I'd start a thread about the season 2 segment The Magic Apple. For those who haven't seen the sketch, it's a story segment, with Bob reading and Ernie acting out the story with other characters. The story plot invovles a fairy godmother who offers to grant Ernie one wish, but Ernie has...
Lately, I've been wondering if The Jim Henson Company was desperate to sell the Muppets to Disney back in 2004. For one, I don't think we knew that the company was in talks with Disney regarding selling the characters. Of course, I don't know how common it is for such buyouts to be known about...
I recall that back when Muppets From Space was released and Pepe stole the show, a lot of fans wanted some Pepe merchandise, but there wasn't any for a few years. And then there was a few Pepe toys released around the same time, but still, within the last ten years there still hasn't been much.
I found that Muppet Wiki has a page for these toys. All characters mentioned in this thread were made, as well as Cookie Monster.

In addition to all that, it'd be great if such a CD-rom would include video tributes. This would be my line-up:
Jim Henson, featuring the following clips: Ernie and Bert in the rain, Sesame Street News: Cookie Monster's first day of school, The Triangle is Right, Everybody's Song, Henson #6...
