    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    I just started thinking... Will the trade paperbacks go out-of-print because of this (the only trade paperbacks I've seen in stores are "Meet the Muppets" and "Muppet Robin Hood"; while I've found most individual issues of "The Muppet Show Comic Book" I haven't found any issues of the classics...

    Muppet Babies and Monsters

    During the hours airings there was only one set of closing credits, to close the full hour, like a merge of the two shows. I wonder if Henson ever produced a seperate, individual closing credits sequence for Little Muppet Monsters, to be shown on its own if it had lasted. If the show was...

    What if the New Muppet Movie's Villain had a Muppet Sidekick?

    Are you sure? Because I've never seen any reports that the movie is about the public turning their back on the Muppets. I've taken it that the Muppets just break up as a group, like how a music group or band might break up. Now that I think of it, I wonder if Pepe might be treated here like...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Roger Langridge said that he wouldn't expect Boom! to pay him for drawings that wouldn't be used. But if the line is indeed cancled I'm sure Boom! would have paid him before news of cancelation. I'm sure that people still have to get paid for what they work on even if it gets cancled before...

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    Did they ever actually refer to her as being a princess before marrying Simba? Being married to a king makes you a queen, but I don't recall them calling her a princess, nor do I recall them ever saying in the context of the movie that a prince can only marry a princess (or vice versa). Of...

    The Darkwing Duck Thread

    I found my copy at Books-A-Million and it was the only copy. Actually it seems my local Books-A-Million doesn't carry many Boom! titles. I think I also saw a Toy Story trade paperback there and that's about it; No Boom! comics in the comic book section, no Muppet trade paperbacks (I wonder why...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I started thinking, it's a shame they didn't put Abby Cadabby on the cover of Silly Storytime. It would have been great to see an official image featuring both Kermit and Abby Cadabby together, without just inserting existing photos together.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    You know, since the first issue of "The Four Seasons" was suppsoedly about Christmas, and it's been delayed (at least) because of personal issues, it wouldn't surprise me if the winter issue were pushed to the end of the storyarc. It would make a bit of sense, to push the release to July or...

    Questions that Need Answers!

    Currently the Disney-owned Muppets are being made in New Jersey by a company called "Puppet Heap". The Sesame Street Muppets and other Henson puppets are generally built in New York at the New York Puppet Workshop (formerly Jim Henson's Muppet Workshop). Jim Henson's Creature Shop is located in...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    A preview for Silly Storytime has been posted online: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qTly0TDNgc&feature=sub Unfortunately, it does not include clips from any of the Newsflash segments featured. But it does show a slightly-different cover (of course Kermit is still there).

    The Darkwing Duck Thread

    Well today I picked up the graphic novel collection of the first four issues, and it is such a great read. It felt like a Darkwing Duck movie to me. I liked the scene where we are teased into expecting Steelbeak to show up (though at that point I mistakenly turned two pages at once and got...

    Any Ernst Fans?

    You know, in an early scene in Ernest Scared Stupid, Ernest gets stuck in a dumpster while the compactor is turned on, and he struggles to not get squished. But I wonder if he would have been killed if he hadn't been rescued. After all, in Ernest Goes to Jail he survives being electrocuted...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Reading that article I can't quite tell if it specifically said that the line was ending or if it was speculation. I wonder if one of us should ask Roger Langridge if he knows whether it'll continue without him (or at least if he knows whether "The Four Seasons" will be released).

    What if the New Muppet Movie's Villain had a Muppet Sidekick?

    The difference is that the bug villian wasn't really too evil. What I had in mind was an existing character (or a ficticious obscure character) who was the most affected by the Muppets splitting up and joined the villian out of spite. Or maybe joined the villian before the Muppets started to get...

    I got some bad news: It looks like Boom may be canceling all its Muppet titles. You can read about it here: http://blog.newsarama.com/2011/01/11/booms-pixar-and-muppet-titles-canceled-by-previews/ It'd be sad if we don't even get "The Four Seasons".

    What if the New Muppet Movie's Villain had a Muppet Sidekick?

    Maybe a newly-created character with a similar look to Henson's earlier characters could assist the bad guy. I wouldn't expect The Jim Henson Company to loan out any Sam and Friends characters for the picture, but maybe somebody similar. Though it would make sense for Sam to join the villian...

    The Muppet Mindset

    Regarding the Jerry Nelson interview: In 2009 when Nelson was interviewed for Tough Pigs he said that all his characters were bad impressions of actors. I thought he was joking then, but in these Muppet Mindset review he seems to be saying who his various character voices are impressions of...

    What if the New Muppet Movie's Villain had a Muppet Sidekick?

    Considering all the talk and images we've had about Walter, I wonder what the chances are that the film will have more original puppet characters who just haven't been mentioned in press releases or interviews. I just reread the script reviews that were posted a few years ago, and it seems...
