I have to say that the quality of this year's whatnots is a bit questionable and the photos used in promotional material on fao's web site and catalogue are quite misleading. The photos show puppets made of fleece with seamless faces and noses and show defined mouths that close all the way. The...

By the way, just found it was from the December 11, 1979 issue of Family Circle Magazine.

Wow! I forgot I posted this! I just googled Kermit's Christmas Diary and my post was the first thing to come up! Blast from the past! Seven years ago already! I just took the diary out and am bringing it to my Mom's house to show my brother to see if he remembers it. He is home for his mid-tour...

Leave me alone. I'm on my popcorn break.

Disappointed they had to go the oil route. Bush hasn't been in office for over 2 years and the whole oil thing has become tiresome and cliche. Plus, the idea is so far-fetched. They won't let anybody drill for oil in the middle of no where, let alone under a theater in the city. I think they...

Not everyone knows where St. Louis County is. There is one in Minnesota. Could you be more specific where this event is to take place?

Mine is in rough shape, but I still put it on the wall each Christmas.

Wow, that went for a pretty low price. I paid 200 bucks for Randolph the Red-Nosed Monster. He will be donning the Santa hat once again this Christmas. Terry, what would you think about doing an 'all fur' monster puppet and putting it up on ebay?

When they sang 12 Days of Christmas, was it scripted when Fozzie kept missing his line or was that improvised? My brother and I were watching it on youtube and it just made us crack up. It looked like it might have been a mistake that they just went with, seeing as how it's such a long song to...

I also miss Jim's Kermit. He had a quiet confidence about him. He didn't feel the need to work so hard for approval. Sometimes less is more. Also, Jim's had a magical warmth about him seen in many of the Christmas specials that just can't be duplicated. I think what maybe bugs me about Steve's...

Well, I'm sure it will be removed. I just personally can't stomach watching VMC anymore. I don't watch The View. Just heard the soundbites on the radio. I did not know that she apologized for the comments and explained what she meant. Still not sure why people wouldn't react with outrage rather...

I don't expect a war at all. Just seeing the mindset here and it's basically what I expected so far. I am probably one of the only conservative minded muppet fans on the planet. What she said really bothered me and I know for me, being a parent of three, there is no way I would let someone like...

Due to her comments defending Polanski and the crime he was convicted of, there is no way this woman should appear in any future muppet specials. In my opinion, what she said was completely appaulling and the fact that she doesn't seem to have the protection of children as a priority makes me...

Why is it that Kermit needs to be removed from and many scenes need to be edited out of every re-released Muppet production that comes out from a different company than Disney(ie emmett otter, christmas toy, muppet family christmas), but yet Disney has no problem letting NBC use their characters...

I thought whoever is voicing Fozzie is doing a great job at making him sound like Frank's Fozzie. Very well done.

Shouldn't this thread be in the Muppet Merchandise forum? :confused:

I totally agree with frogboy on this one. I was going to come here and slam HIT for the lack of Kermit in the special, but after reading one of the posts here, it's hard to be mad at them when it's really not their fault. I appreciate that they at least finally put what they could on DVD. I'd...

I was going to email HIT! and ask them if the DVD was going to be edited, but it appears only members of the press are allowed to email them now. I have emailed them before, so it appears they no longer wish to deal with the general public. Is there any way someone from Muppet Central could ask...

Finally! I've been demanding this DVD for YEARS! But considering the chance that this will be edited cuts my excitement factor in half. I'll be sick if it's edited. It won't be the same without Kermit. Why can't these companies ever work out a licensing agreement for the benefit of the fans?

Tim, how is it that you came to work for Jim on the Muppet Movie? Did you audition? Or was it through a letter writing campaign? You didn't really make that clear at the beginning of this thread. Thanks.
