    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    Lately, I've been wondering if InnerTube actually is the official pilot for the show. It's similar to the MuppeTelevision segments (mainly due to the same basic set and heavy uses of new technology), though the concept was soon replaced with Lead-Free TV (which definitely was going to be part of...

    Dreams about Muppets

    Let's see... from memory, most of the female characters (Miss Piggy, Janice, Camilla, Miss Mousey, Annie Sue, Spamela, Vicki, Hilda, Gladys, Zondra), and also Kermit, Fozzie, Floyd, Animal, Sweetums, Timmy, Doglion, Bunsen, Beaker, Pepe, Rizzo, Rowlf, and Digit. I feel like there were a lot...

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night I dreamt I was working on an official Muppet production - actually I can't remember whether it was a comic book or a film/special, but I was working on some official Muppet project called "Muppet Men Vs. Women", which took place at a summer camp and had the Muppet males competing...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    At first I thought he confirmed it as being owned by Disney. He said the line as "they are, and were - the king, Taminella, Featherstone - on the list I sent to Disney". I wonder if he meant to say the line as "they are, and were - the king, Taminella, Featherstone - on the list I sent to...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    I guess the fact that production of the book was rushed would be why we didn't learn any names we previously didn't know. I'm guessing he went by what was on Muppet Wiki, as opposed to looking at files (character design sketches, scripts, etc.) to double-check or determine names of characters...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    Well, aside from "did you consider including (insert character not asked about in the interview)". I'd like to see Craig Shemin's original list of who to include. If more characters from The Jim Henson Hour were included (it's a shame they didn't ask why Jazques Roach or Anthony and Fern...

    Disney gets sued by a toy company over Lotso Huggin' Bear

    Then Disney wouldn't have been involved. I'm pretty sure that only Henson would have been involved with approving the merchandise.

    Interview with Brian Henson at Entertainment Weekly

    Entertainment Weekly has posted an interview with Brian Henson. http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/04/15/henson-creature-shop-farscape-fraggle-rock-dinosaurs/ It's interesting how Brian thought that three movies where the Muppets play themselves was enough. Really??? Also interesting that he says...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    Well, today Tough Pigs posted part 3 of their interview with Craig Shemin, and they discussed this book. http://www.toughpigs.com/craig-shemin-part-3/ Just last week I was in a book store and decided to look a little in some of the other DK character encyclopedias, and noticed that those also...

    Disney gets sued by a toy company over Lotso Huggin' Bear

    Was the toy made before or after Disney got the rights (beyond just broadcasting the show) to Bear in the Big Blue House?

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    The Jim Henson Hour premiered on this day back in 1989. So to honor the 25th anniversary, Toughpigs is starting an article series reviewing each episode. I hope they complete it. http://www.toughpigs.com/my-weeks-with-the-jim-henson-hour-part-1/

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Ever notice how when a company or creator or whatever has three main franchises, the third seems to be less popular? Like with Seth MacFarlane's shows, Family Guy and American Dad have both on on the air the longest and remain on the air, while The Cleveland Show only had a few seasons and...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    It's interesting how in the Muppet Mindset interview with Craig Shemin, he said that he learned new things about certain characters. I wonder if he learned the new things through actual Henson Company files or from looking at Muppet Wiki. I'd be surprised if the book has any on-screen facts I...

    Muppets Most Wanted Blu-ray

    It'd be great if it came out in May, before my birthday, but it will probably come out a little later. Probably not going to happen, but it'd be cool if it could come with all the commercials the Muppets did during promotion. It'd be cool to have all those Toyota commercials on DVD.

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    You know, I was wondering what audiences generally thought of The Dark Knight Rises, whether it was a success or not. I haven't seen that one or The Dark Knight (mainly because I was so disappointed with Batman Begins).
