    Trademark laws

    I've been wondering this for awhile, and after l looked it up at wikipedia I still couldn't find (or understand) the answer. Mayeb you all know. Anyway, I've read that ficticious characters are trademarked instead of copyrighted, and a trademark is good as long as it's still being used. But...

    The MuppetCast - Show #101 - Tales of the Tinkerdee

    This was a good podcast episode. I'm looking forward to what you say about the next JHH episode. I've watched all the MuppeTelevision epsidoes on youtube, and Health and Fitness is one of the best episodes, in part because it heavily features a lot of classic characters who weren't on the show...

    Disney greenlights "The Muppet Show" comics

    It's interesting. These comic issues all spotlight characters, but the one promoted as a Fozzie comic stars both Fozzie and Gonzo. I hope that more get made past the initial four, and that maybe sme duo-based stories get done. Like a Kermit and Fozzie issue, or a Bunsen and Beaker issue...

    The Darkwing Duck Thread

    You know, I was never able to get the Megavolt figure to make it's sparking effect. I was able to get the other figures to do their special moves. Ironically, most of the characters I remember from childhood were made in the line, with the only non-figures I remember being Quackerjack...

    My Thoughts on JHH: MuppeTelevision Half-Hours

    You know, in Musicians, there is a scene where Bean appears on a monitor, jumping and at times getting out of the monitor, and Kermit says "That's very cute, but you're breaking our sense of reality". Does anybody know what this joke was? I mean, in Aquatic Life, there were a few times when...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Back when the license extended to include Muppets Tonight, did you ever have any desire to produce any Muppets Tonight-related playsets? Also, I wasn't a member at the time, but shortly after the action figure line announcements, you listed characters by how popular you concidered them (big...

    The Brand New Ask Jim Lewis Thread

    In the past there have been quite a few Muppet christmas movies and specials, one valentines special, and the rumored halloween special. Also, christmas and halloween seem to be the two holidays celebrated the most in fiction. But if Disney were to ask you to write a Muppet holiday special, but...

    The MuppetCast - Show #66 - Price For Flight?

    Well, since I'm back to the forum, I'll list some of the pins. I deleted my end of the e-mail, and can't remember every pairing I made. Steve mentioned that I put Kermit with Mississippi, The Jim Henson Muppet with Maryland, Johnny Fiama in Nevada, Gonzo in Kansas, and I think Miss Piggy in...

    The MuppetCast - Show #48 - White Snow and Red Monsters

    You know, when Kevin Clash said that he was probbaly busy with Sesame Street when A Muppet Family Christmas was made, I thought it was odd, since most of the main performers (even Caroll Spinney) were in the special. But then I started thinking, they probably chose that time to shoot material...

    The Darkwing Duck Thread

    According to Wikipedia, there were episodes where Darkwing got assistance from certain enemies, including Megavolt, Bushroot, and either Negaduck or Quackerjack, but the pages that mention those episodes don't include titles (they are mentioned on the appropriate character pages). And I...

    Sesamestreet.org relaunches for Season 39

    You know, if you do a search for "henson", you can find Jim Henson's film and animation segments. For some reason there is also a Muppet segment on there, but only one Muppet segment. It's listed as "5: Fish and Eels". Jim Henson's voie isn't heard, and the only talking character is performed by...

    My Thoughts on JHH: MuppeTelevision Half-Hours

    You know, one thing I recently noticed about this show is that aparrantly nothing went wrong during the on-stage (is that the right term for this show? After all, acts were on different monitors, and it seems that no stage was used) acts, unlike The Muppet Show and Muppets Tonight. There weren't...

    Most Wanted for Sesamestreet.org

    You know, since the website includes clips from specials, I'd like to see the website include clips from Sesame Street's All-Star 25th Birthday: Stars and Streets Forever, Out to Lunch, and Big Bird's Birthday. I'd also like to know if there were more Letters Make Words clips, besides the...

    Your Thoughts: The Christmas Toy DVD

    Regarding that comment about Disney's policy of not "renting" it's characters out to the competition, it sounds like that means no matter how obscure the character is. Kermit is the best known Muppet, but I guess that policy would include lesser characetrs like Rowlf (who was in Dog City) and...

    The Darkwing Duck Thread

    It is interesting that the action figure line included Tuskernini instead of Quackerjack (who has amore appealing marketing look) or Negaduck (though I don't have any childhood memories of him). I don't remember Tuskernini appearing very much. When the toys were released I didn't recall seeing...

    Must-read Joey Mazzarino interview on Tough Pigs

    This was a good interview. I don't agree with him about keeping Murray from being on the street. But most of it was itneresting. I am really excited about teh nods to the fans in Sesame Street's next season. i expect those nods be in the episodes and not the inserts. I hope that Biff and Sully...

    Your Thoughts: Studio DC Hosted by Selena Gomez

    I thought that this special was better than the first one. The highlights were Beaker's duet and the main plotline.

    Your Thoughts: Studio DC Hosted by Dylan and Cole Sprouse

    I liked it. it wasn't the best, but it was still good. The best part was Miley Cyris's number with The Electric Mayhem. I was surprised to see the Muppets Studio logo at the end. I expected it to be a Disney special with appearances by the Muppets, instea dof a main Muppets production. I...
