    Muppets with Disabilities

    Sorry, Did I get a little carried away? Maybe I did. Also did you notice that Elmo is A.D.D. and that Captain Vegetable is lactose intolerant. Okay, I just made it up, but it might be true. You just don't see the meds they take backstage. Maybe what I'm thinking is that a...

    Count Von Count Sesame Street puppet

    Before I rebut, let me say that David Pannabecker might be the greatest guy in the world. I know nothing about him. But I detect a major double standard in your arguments. Let me also say that after reading my post, I sound ticked off at you but I'm really not. Just want to make sure this...

    Muppets with Disabilities

    But just think of how many fuzzy faced kids can really relate to the Muppets. If Jo-jo the Dog Faced Boy were still alive today.. why Sesame Street would be the place he'd want to live. Also, think of all the kids who have a different color nose than the rest of their face. And all the...

    Count Von Count Sesame Street puppet

    Have you seen on the Armslength Productions website, their rip-off of Miss Piggy they did for Sears to promote Muppet Baby clothing? He didn't even mention Miss Piggy's name on the website but he didn't have to. It looks so close to her, most people could never tell the difference. So...

    Did anybody miss out because FR was on cable in the 80's?

    I too was Fraggle Short-Changed as a kid. I cannot imagine my parents actually paying for TV when you could have it for free. Now ironically they have satellite and every channel except for PPV stuff. I can't imagine my parents paying for satellite and then actually paying to view something...

    Happy Member Seniority Jackie!

    Since I came after Delphi, I never dealt with those sigs before. But I can see how sigs of that size would bog down a computer. As I bought mine from Fred Flinstone when he upgraded, and the Pterodactyl Modem gets tired carving all those images into my slags of granite.

    SNL Henson

    I wanted to see those skits too, until I saw the transcripts. I'm glad that Henson and Assoc. decided to class up the Muppets more. I hope when the new Muppet Show screens, this is not the kind of edgy we get. I don't associate the off-color, crass humor with the term "cutting edge" as...

    Count Von Count Sesame Street puppet

    Okay, if the day care center is using outdoor murals of Disney Characters in the Florida area, I can see the issue. It's essentially linking itself to Disney World. It's advertising and making money by advertising with Mickey. On the other hand, if I am a Disney fan and I paint a Disney...

    What's Your Pirate Name?

    I'm Dirty Jack Flint. I don't know why. I bathe every day. I'd rather be mad... Actually I have my pirate costume but I don't wear it very often. Then I'm Captain Mordecai Blunderbuss. I've compiled a list of pirate words and terms if anyone would like it.

    Count Von Count Sesame Street puppet

    Your points about protecting your trademark are very valid, but I still think for Disney to sue a Daycare Center for a Mickey Mural is pretty low. I guess I don't know the whole story, but sheesh, unless they were advertising their center as, "Disney Day Care" or "Mickey Mouse World" or...

    Count Von Count Sesame Street puppet

    I must confess that I would love to buy a Muppet like this one and I wouldn't feel real bad about buying one. But of course I don't have the kind of money that the Count was going for. If the quality is as good as I think it is, it's a great deal. But my moral compass is flailing a bit. I...

    Crank Yankers & Killer Puppets Coming To Canada!

    I agree with Cantus, I think people who do cartoons and puppets in a non family friendly way on television do a great disservice to children and decent parents everywhere. Kids are really drawn in to puppets and will want to watch it. It means mom or dad has to lay down the law and...

    Count Von Count Sesame Street puppet

    Just curious, At what point would it be considered legal for someone to do this? I mean, I see in costume catalogs Mickey Mouse clones that are called, "Mr Mouse." So would it mean changing the color? Making a less quality work? Even using a different costume? Seems like the line is...

    Tough Pigs?

    Ida know Luke, Seems like you were taking potshots at MC yourself. As for me, I've read both sites. I prefer MC because it's a happier place and I like some lightness at the end of the day. Tough Pigs is really an angrier and darker. Kind of like the Muppets Pool Hall or something...

    Muppet Show DVDs

    Honestly, I don't know most of the guest stars anyway outside their interaction with Henson. On my old puppet team we determined that what made you a star was IF you appeared on the Muppet Show or in a Muppet movie. That was the one clear indicator of saying, "Yes, I have arrived in the...

    Speedy Gonzalas Back On TV?

    This could lead to a very interesting topic. Sometimes when you remove certain media, you are decried "censorship! censorship!" But that same sort of censorship is permissible if it's PC. Speedy Gonzalez is a great example as well as lots of cartoons that may or may not have racial...

    Goths, Punks, Freaks, and Muppets - Is it all Very Wrong?

    IMHO regarding the marriage of Hot Topic and Muppets, 1) Muppets aren't sacred cows. Look at old pics of the Muppet performers and they often look like burn outs. They were hippies, okay? 2) Muppet stuff is a nice change to Hot Topic and I would encourage any shift in the atmosphere of...
