    April Fools: Muppets to do TV special with Belinda Carlisle and other '80s stars

    Well, this time I wasn't trying to be too believable.

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    I don't think the finale was as bad as everybody's complaining about, but unlike the whole series before it, I don't think the finale was perfect. I was expecting more of the mother in the last episode, but it seems she wasn't used as much as she should have (I also had a similar problem the...

    April Fools: Muppets to do TV special with Belinda Carlisle and other '80s stars

    It's just been announced that, after the success of last Thanksgiving's Lady Gaga special, that the Muppets are now going to do a special with various pop stars from the 1980s, but mostly Belinda Carlisle. The special will be entitled "Belinda Carlisle and the Muppets Karaoke Jam", and will...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Well, I saw Mr. Peabody and Sherman today. It was a great movie. I had read that a photo of Bullwinkle appears in the background, but I didn't catch it. I assume it's in an early scene where we see several pictures on the wall, there were too many for me to get a good look at them all fast...

    What's Your Non Muppet Figure Wishlist?

    I was at Toys R Us today, and it seems there are Mario playsets like the ones in my previous wishlists, only they don't seem to be inspired by any speciffic games. In some ways they are bigger than what I had in mind, and in other ways they are smaller than what I had in mind (no backdrops, for...

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

    After many years of not being available on home video due to rights issues, both The Wonder Years and the original Batman series are getting complete series sets this year. Considering the long wait (and the fact that every episode of The Wonder Years can be viewed on Netflix), why release the...

    What's Your Non Muppet Figure Wishlist?

    Okay, a better Mario line-up: Series based on each game, with multi-character boxed sets and mini-playsets: Cardboard backdrops representing certain levels, floating bricks, ? blocks (or already-hit ones), and coins that can easily be placed onto the backdrops, and a plastic ground/platform...

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

    It's been a long time since I last saw the movie, but in Charlotte's Web, is the girl aware that her uncle is keeping Wilbur to cook him as bacon? She had kept Wilbur as a pet for some time, and when her father needed to sell or get rid of the pig, he decided to give it to his brother, so the...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Most Wanted Original Soundtrack

    And, according to the Junior Novel, didn't Miss Piggy leave the Muppets first in The Muppets, which is what led to the Muppets all splitting up in the first place? People wonder who did the translating for The Swedish Chef. It sounds like Ricky Gervais to me. Though the booklet only refers...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    Part of me wonders if the next Muppet movie should be them doing a show again or not. The Muppets are great when they do a show (and it provides a great way to incorporate so many fan favorite characters), but maybe the next movie shouldn't feature another version of The Muppet Show theme, or...

    The "You know what?" thread

    It's often said that The Muppet Movie was a huge risk because there hadn't been a movie like that before. I assume they meant there hadn't been a puppet movie like that before (I know there was an H.R. Puffenstuff movie, but is that counted more as a puppet show or a walk-around costumes show?)...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Most Wanted Original Soundtrack

    One thing about Brett McKenzie's tracks is that it's easier to understand certain parts of songs that were hard to understand (I know, I could have just read the lyrics...). It's weird how in Something So Right that other characters also wonder why something so right feels so wrong. I...

    The Muppet Mindset posted part 1 of a two-part interview with Craig Shemin today, and he revealed that the book was originally going to be marketed towards kids as opposed to all fan demographics. If it were just going to be for the kids, I wonder how many characters would have been included. I...
