    The "It's A Great Time To Be A Muppet Fan" Thread - No Pessimism Allowed!

    Yup, yup it is (well, one of the best things ever). Watching and listening, was that Matt Vogel playing Droop and the green scrabby frackle or whatever he's called? The frackle sounds a bit like Vogel's Uncle Deadley to me, though I feel I hear hints of Whitmire in the voice. And I would...

    The "It's A Great Time To Be A Muppet Fan" Thread - No Pessimism Allowed!

    I had no idea of that, though I noticed he wasn't in many of the viral videos. I wonder what'll happen next... Could Dr. Strangepork be the next Muppet to make a solo appearance? Or Thog? Or Wayne and Wanda?

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    I already knew he was sympathetic. It seems with each version (first book, then special, then movie) he gets more and more sympathetic. And is it just me or did many of the characters in this look like the live-action versions of the Whos?

    The "It's A Great Time To Be A Muppet Fan" Thread - No Pessimism Allowed!

    Here's hoping the success of the movie will lead to them rebuilding more obscure characters! I wonder if the success of "The Muppets" will lead to more demand for non-Muppet puppet programs.

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    Well, I saw it today, and I didn't think it was too bad. For me there weren't any dull moments, and I didn't notice any gross-out/bathroom humor or hip humor (though I did go to the restroom at one point). The movie was more of a straight adaption than I expected. I expected the storytelling...

    Ambiguous Monotones

    As far as I know the back-up singers didn't get their names until after their performers became consistient, I assume in the song "Four". With that logic I assuem the album version didn't have them address each other by name. So I wonder, how can you tell it's Chrissy with that voice in the...

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    Judging by the commercials, I wonder if this really is an adaptation as much as it's a follow-up to the story (much like how Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland was really a sequel to the books). Something tells me that the parts resembling the original book will be very short... Like the boy goes...

    The "It's A Great Time To Be A Muppet Fan" Thread - No Pessimism Allowed!

    At first I thought it said "no permission allowed!" Yeah, this is a good time to be a fan. Two other good times to be fans that I can think of include the 1993-1996 period (when Buena Vista was releasing Muppet videos and Nickelodeon was frequently rerunning Muppet Babies, The Muppet Show, and...

    Target Muppets DVD Exclusive with 6 Muppet Show Episodes

    This reminds me of the time before the movie came out when I started a thread desiring a special "bonus disc" of classic Muppet content. I did think such a disc would need to include a few bonus episodes of The Muppet Show, but this isn't what I had in mind (what I had in mind was 2-3 episodes...

    1985 Muppet Video promo online... sort of

    Dang it! The preview and Muppet Weird Stuff have both been removed by the user, and those weren't online too long. I wonder why he removed them (I recall The Kermit and Piggy Story also being online for just a short period of time). I'm glad I watched them so many times during the short time...

    Peek-a-Boo

    Long ago I saw the song Pop sang on YouTube (I think it's called "It's Your Cartoon So Anything Goes"). Not sure if it's still there. One thing I'd like to see again is the sequence teaching stick figures. I think I've read that a Muppet character taught that, but I don't remember any Muppets...

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    Though it seems many parents have complained about certain things in kids programming over the years, though. I watched the original Lorax TV special on ABC Family last december, and one thing I sort of noticed. It's in one song sung a few times, "For he's a jolly good onceler, aren't we all?"...

    RIP Davy Jones

    This is sad news. Seems he had the best voice of all the Monkees. "Daydream Believer" is one of my favorite songs from the group. I saw the Monkees in concert in 1997, shortly after I had started seeing the show.

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    Something I suddenly thought about: All the Dr. Seuss animated TV specials were great, and with the exception of Daisy-Head Maisie, all of them had Dr. Seuss's involvement. Makes me wonder if any of these Dr. Seuss movies would have been a lot better if Seuss was alive and able to work on them.

    Any Ernst Fans?

    Actually, those two, like Ernest, got their start in commercials produced by the same people who made the Ernest commercials. And it seems like information is hard to find... Last I checked (which would have been a year or two ago) wikipedia didn't have any pages on the characters, and none of...

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    Yeah, I've noticed that since the last Austin Powers, Mike Myers hasn't done much besides Shrek. I wonder if he's semi-retired or having trouble finding work or what. Makes me wonder how a fourth Austin Powers movie would do at this point... I was a really big fan when the movies were current...

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    Wait, the Grinch was in the original "Horton Hears a Who" special? I don't remember that. Though it is ironic... Both stories involve whoville, the original specials were both produced by MGM (where most of the others were produced by DePatie-Freling and a few by Turner) and directed by Chuck...

    TV Alert: Muppets at the 84th Academy Awards on ABC

    I enjoyed a lot of the non-Muppet stuff, like the "Wizard of Oz test audience" bit and the part where somebody (was it Billy Crystal or someone else?) guesed what people in the audience were thinking based on their facial expressions (too bad Kermit and Piggy weren't included there... Though it...

    Pre-Order: "The Muppets" on Blu-ray and DVD coming March 20

    After watching the bonus feature samples online, I wonder if the Muppet performers will actually appear, or if only the characters will.
