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.
I like Dog City. I watched it when it was originally on the air. There aren't many episodes I really remember, though.
I like to talk about this show to people who I suspect never saw it, but also feel it's complicated to talk about it to people who never heard of it. Actually, it's probably...
I don't know whether this is the right thread for this, as I don't think Warner Home Video distributes the DVDs in Austrailia, but I was looking at Muppet Wiki yesterday and saw that the Austrailian releases of quite a few of last years releases include bonus clips not on the American releases...
That quote almost looks like a pun...
The idea of Richard Pryor doing a kids show similar to Sesame Street sounds like it should be an adult parody of children's television, like a variety show sketch if not its own series (there really needs to be more of those types of shows... And maybe...
I'll be pleaseantly surprised if we get a new quiz here at Muppet Central. For the last, let's say five years (but I feel it's been longer), the only new stuff posted at Muppet Central (outside of the forums) have been the occasional news article and review.
I don't think Louis Kazagger was very common on The Muppet Show. He was rarely used outside of Muppet Sports (kinda like how The Newsman was rarely seen outside of Muppet News), a recurring segment that only appeared in 8 episodes. And it seems like it was a treat to see certain major characters...
According to Muppet Wiki this isn't available in the US. I had been looking for it at Books-a-Million but after a month of not seeing a copy (usually around where I live books tend to come out a few weeks after the announced dates, but an entire month is a bit long) I asked if anyone had...
Actually Big Mama was never mentioned by name on-screen. She was only referred to as Big Mama in a number of merchandise (including one of The Muppet Show annuals and a card game), while somebody who worked on the show once revealed on Muppet Wiki that the Henson people really officially called...
It seems this could have been an honorary second "Muppet Show Live", but with exclusive focus on the music, less characters, and more representation of Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock.
According to Muppet Wiki the next new DVD will be "Elmo's Magic Numbers", featuring TWO full-hour episodes. The two episodes are the one with the magician who uses subtraction for magic, and the hat contest episode (both have a magic theme). The DVD will also include Elmo's World: Hats as a...
I wonder if it'd be too much for them to do a story in which a Muppet character becomes ill and the only way to cure the illness is with a rare item found only in one location. Perhaps it could be something like a rainforrest which the villian wants to tear down.
Yeah, I know, the movie might...
I don't know, but I think I've read about the show having a story with a title like "The story of Inez and... (another I name, can't remember)". Or maybe Inez got second billing.
Or maybe you're misremembering the use of the word "idiot", though I don't doubt it was used in the past (perhaps...
That's good to know. Sometimes I wonder if I'm going too far by posting each new week and their hosts without much more to add.
And I just now remember that I forgot to mention this week's "day"... It's "Going Green Day" with Elmo.
If the Muppets do do a "Mad Mad World"-style movie, I'll be surprised if it's the next film. It's confirmed that it'll have some sort of "connective tissue" to the last film, so I assume that means they'll all know each other already, and I feel like such a film would require many of the Muppets...
Maybe they can check this thread and consider the stuff that many of us here have suggested (like giving The Electric Mayhem their own number).
Somebody suggested not having one main villian, and that might be a good idea. Maybe two or three seperate villians who are not associated with each...
Well, The Jim Henson Company helped the fans know the names by having them included in that coloring book! :D
Actually, for a long time I kind of did wonder. Over the years I thought it strange and pointless that characters would get proper names (as opposed to their official names being...
I've been watching some of the Upsedaisium storyline, and noticed in one chapter, Boris looks in a "Crook Book" for a recipe with the written phrase "Guaranteed to succeed..." but then after failing they turn the page to see the rest of the sentence, "...to fail miserably". But I noticed that...
Well, one of the Tough Pigs people attended a publicity event for Nick Stoller's new movie The Five-Year Engagement last night, and learned a few things about the Muppets sequel:
Walter will be in it.
There wll be some "connective tissue" to the previous film (if that means what I think it...
