    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I didn't really see any similarities to "Hey a Movie" in that. The only similarites I noticed were Kermit suddenly being in an outfit and a cameo by the bad guy.

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    The book also has the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, who I doubt will return for anything again. Also the Cratchet children, and the Sam and Friends cast.

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    When the book talks about The Jim Henson Hour's time slot, it says that the show had no "real competition", mentioning that it was on opposite Beauty and the Beast (which I hadn't heard of, but afterwards learned that it had at least three seasons) and Perfect Strangers and Full House. So...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    One thing I've noticed about the show is that, while The Muppet Show and Muppets Tonight allowed many of their guest stars to show off talents that they weren't known for, it seems all of the guest stars on The Jim Henson Hour did what they were known for and nothing else. None of the...

    Questions about anything

    By "readily available" do you mean easier to find in the archives? Yeah, if they used the syndication cuts, the original opening and first few closings would have been missing. I wonder if any of the main Garfield or U.S. Acres segments were shortened in syndication. For years I thought...

    Has Frank Oz's opinion on the new movie changed?

    I never thought of The Muppets as being more kiddie/less edgy than the other movies.

    Potential New Muppet Show

    Maybe it's just me, but it seems like when fans desire a new Muppet show, and I'm not talking about the fans here or at Tough Pigs, it seems they want it to be a sixth season of The Muppet Show, only made now, with guest stars and songs that came out since the fifth season, and maybe with some...

    Questions about anything

    Does anybody happen to know why the master tapes used for the Garfield and Friends DVD sets were the non-American copies? Were those master tapes in better condition/quality, or were those just more uncut than the American ones, or even no reason at all? Or did they do that as an excuse to avoid...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    Looking at the production order list, I feel it does make a little bit of sense that Fitness was produced before Oceans, due to the Merlin sketches in them. In Fitness, the patient is "a guy with a sword stuck in his head", in Oceans, it's "a guy with a fish stuck through his head". I feel...

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

    For the last few days I've heard a song called Satisfied by Richard Marx on the radio, and to me the music for that sounds very similar to The Jim Henson Hour theme song. It's probably a coincidence, since both came out in 1989, but it is interesting.

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I didn't know he was Mr. Peabody. I thought he was one of the historical figures in this.

    Muppet Books Available on 2/11/2014

    Surprised to see that Brewster is (probably) in the movie. Of course I was also surprised to see him in the Character Encyclopedia (could his inclusion be because he's in this, even though the book didn't mention his involvement or picture any of his scenes from the movie?). Miss Poogy's...
