    Well, it seems logical for many games to invovl rescuing other characters. But I guess I do think up things alot.

    Why did MFS and EIG bomb so bad?

    I recall that neither movie had much television advertising. I was a bit annoyed at the scarcity of seeing TV ads on television. I think I saw more MFS TV commercials than EIG. I saw the EIG trailer in theaters, but not the MFS trailer. It's possible that people didn't see the ads and weren't...

    Why did MFS and EIG bomb so bad?

    You know, I was thinking, and it seems to me that MTM is really the onylk one where characters where fashion specific to the time it was made. The outfits in TMM seem timeless to me, and in GMC the various characters look like they are dressed in 1950s/ 1960s fashions despite being made in 1981.

    The Muppet Central Freelance Writers Guild Project

    This sounds tempting, but I'm not sure. I feel (and a few have commented on this at times) like many of my posts (both first-posts in threads and responses) seem well-thought-out, perhaps more appropriate for an article. Though outdated, I would like to review A Celebration of Me, Grover! and...

    Why did MFS and EIG bomb so bad?

    You know what? Elmo in Grouchland was released in theaters around october 1, 1999, and was released on video the week before christmas of that year. So either it did really poorly in theaters leading to a video release (which probably doesn't make much sense) or it was planned to be out in...

    Why did MFS and EIG bomb so bad?

    I disagree. I feel like it's the most dated. The others (where they play themselves) have a timeless look and feel, while this one seems more contemporary (should I count MCC or MTI as being dated? They were supposed to take place in the past).

    Why did MFS and EIG bomb so bad?

    At the time they came out I was really excited, and saw them as really great movies, and were higher on my list of favorite Muppet and Sesame Street productions. For Muppets From Space, it felt like a big deal at the time, since it was the first Muppet movie since Jim's death where the...

    Bedtime With Elmo

    It sounds like a good line-up despite the lack of classic clips. I saw the remixed version of Imagination on sesamestreet.org a few days before the videos release and I just KNEW that it'd be included (I'm not sure if this had already aired during season 39). If the remake of the song had the...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    I just checked out Roger Langridge's blog, and he mentioned something about a "Pigs in Space" one-shot he'll be writing. Could this mean that he's actually writing and illustrating a full Pigs in Space comic?

    The Muppets Economical Tale

    Chapter 14 The gang was back at the theater, in time for a new show. "Well", sighed Kermit, "We may not have a big budget, but we are able to put on a show." "Hmm", said Sam "One worthy of the first season." "Vell, I'm glad that Pigs in Space is not in any danger", said Dr...

    Your Favorite SST Muppet Design Through the Years

    I agree. Though they aren't the best, I really have a soft spot for all of the season 1 puppets. I like the first orange Oscar (seen in episode 1) better than the second orange Oscar (seen in I Love Trash).

    Henson-related video games

    How about this idea... The Muppets prepare for a long play, a big forrest set is built, and all of the Muppets are deeply into their roles... Except for Kermit, who, though playing a hero, can't quite get the right idea of how to portray his character. Meanwhile Bunsen works on a hybrid...

    The Muppets Economical Tale

    CHapter 13 The outside group was exxploring. "Hmm, it's a shame that the treasure doesn't really exist", said Floyd, "It's also a shame that Miss Piggy is lost... I don't enjoy loking for the hog!" "Rully", said Janice. "Come on, Beaker", said Bunsen, "Watch your step!" "Mee...

    The Brand New Ask Jim Lewis Thread

    I have a question for Jim, regarding Clifford. Clifford was introduced as a bass player on The Jim Henson Hour. Following that show's cancelation, he continued to be a musician for awhile, playing percussions with The Electric Mayhem in The Muppets at Walt Disney World, and singing on a few...

    101 Muppets of SST

    Man, that's a great drawing. I wish Sesame Workshop would hire that artist to illustrate a 40th anniversary poster like that. If there is ever a Sesame Street comic book that artist is one person I'd want illustrating (in addition to Roger Langridge). It is a little sad that Murray Monster...

    Happy Birthday Jerry Nelson!

    I wanted to celebrate by watching several of Mr. Nelson's performances on sesamestreet.org, but I was in the car for most of the day, and knew that the internet connection wouldn't work in the car. So I spent most of the week watching many of his clips.

    Your Favorite SST Muppet Design Through the Years

    I think it'd be impossible to name my least favorite versions of most of the puppets. But here are my favorites... Big Bird: The ones from the late-1970s-early 1980s. Mr. Snuffleupagus: The ones used between the late 1970s and the late/ early 200os (I can't really tell what changes were...

    Bedtime With Elmo

    I wonder the same thing, though the caption said "Ernie can't get any sleep". Last week sesamestreet.org added some clips fromm this video, and there was a special version of Imagination added, which was the late-1990s remake mixed with footage of Ernie and Bert in claymation form. I don't...
