Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
In the last few weeks, I've heard about it snowing really badly throughout the United States, yet there hasn't been much snow or cold weather where I live. And people kept saying they expected such bad weather.
I've been jokingly saying that it's been snowing everywhere but here (and Florida...
Wait, so in regards to residuals/royalties, do those entitled get paid based on what units are sold to stores or from the copies actually sold in stores?
It's a wonder (and perhaps a good thing) that it's not illegal to buy used merchandise, considering that the companies making them don't make money when people buy things that were already purchased.
And Disney never made any money off those Best of the Muppet Show DVDs, as they were released...
I can't remember if I've ever suggested this idea, but I wonder if a Muppet high school show would be a good series. It would have the Muppets as teachers, teaching new students (plus Robin and maybe Bean Bunny). Kind of like how Tiny Toons had the Looney Tunes as teachers, though this would...
One thing I always found ironic was that that was only the second episode broadcast (though the fourth in production order). The first episode involved Greg replacing Rochester Rabbit as the star of Sweetknuckle Junction, and then right away we get an episode with them changing the format...
Was that Greg the Bunny show really the same show, or was it a different show with the same characters? After all, TMS, JHH, and MT are all different shows with the Muppets. But on the other hand, I generally consider most of the Scooby Doo shows to be the same show with different titles. Greg...
I remember when the show was announced, I saw some comments on the forum about it being a good thing the show would air on Fox because Fox tended to give shows a second chance if the ratings weren't good.
Greg the Bunny was a good show that never should have been canceled (and it's a shame...
In The Secrets of the Muppets, there's a girl Muppet seen in the background during the end credits. Anybody know who she is?
It's during the 47:42 mark:
In case it gets taken down before anyone can check but there are people who have the special on video, she can be seen next to a rat way...
Looking at the script, I am mixed about whether I like or dislike it. It mentioned quite a few guest stars who I'm not interested in,and the sketches aren't that great (especially not the "plot"). But I'm sure many of us would have really liked it back then, as it heavily featured Scooter and...
Recently I read that The Disney Channel actually showed the UK spots for Muppets Tonight in America. I watched Muppets Tonight on The Disney Channel and don't ever remember seeing any of those segments on there. Could this change have occurred late in the shows run on The Disney Channel (though...
In UHF, when it looks like the station is going to go bankrupt, Bob suggests to George that they start a business and ask George's Uncle Harvey for money, only for George to dismiss that idea because Harvey most likely wouldn't loan them money because they "flushed his TV station down the...
Just a few days ago I saw the DuckTales movie and the rest of TailSpin at Target. So they are now retail releases (well, not sure about Goof Troop). I wonder if they're Target-retail exclusives or if they can be found at other stores.
There's no Dinosaurs toys from Funko, either. Those would be great.
Well, Henson doesn't own the rights to the whole Jim Henson Hour. Disney owns the distribution rights to the MuppeTelevision segments (and Miss Piggy's Hollywood and The Secrets of the Muppets).
Thinking about that, yeah, it seems like Sesame Workshop has put out classic material more than Disney has put out pre-2004 Muppet material. Besides the movies, we've gotten three seasons of The Muppet Show and each DVD set had an older special and some additional smaller old content)...
Sesame Street writer Norman Stiles wrote for this show, and spoke about it in his recent interviews for Tough Pigs and The Muppet Mindset.
So it was a success but didn't find an audience? How does that work? Wouldn't having big ratings be the result of finding an audience? I thought I read...
Today I've been thinking about some of the shows weaknesses that I and other fans have thought of - namely the fact that the show focused more on new characters and less on old characters, and the show's habit of not showing full musical numbers very often. But I wonder how much those affected...
Muppets Tonight had so many great characters (and a few bad characters, though some fans may think differently regarding whether certain characters were great or annoying), but part of the problem was that they had so many new characters at once and so much focus on them over the classics that...
Today I thought of a concept that I've sort of thought up before: What if instead of one lasting series, Disney produced many Muppet series, with the intention of only having each around for one season or even half season (like the recent show Galavant)? Each show would have a somewhat different...
