Someone on TP rented a Weezer DVD with all their music videos on it, along with audio commentary by the group. The person who rented it was hoping that Weezer would have something nice to say about them, or at least modestly polite. Instead, Weezer ripped into the Muppets, saying how "lame" and...

Well, I guess you didn't miss it if you didn't even know it was gone! ;) I miss having new Muppet product to look at. But not FtB specifically, or as I like to call it, Disney's Cheap Cynical Knockoff Starring Two Unidentifiable Old Guys! Hopefully something will come of this TV pilot...

There's irony for you--FtB may have stopped because the puppeteers were busy with other projects...even though they're not the official performers anyway! I agree, Kev: though it had its faults, VMC is the most satisfying of the recent projects. It had a very "classic Muppet" feel to it...

Welcome, Zingaman. What a great story! :excited: By any chance, do you remember what scene they were filming that day?

No need for apologies, Barry. You shared your opinion, and Marky shared his. :) And I agree with Marky that Disney could do something really phenomenal with the Muppets if they wanted to!

I'm not arguing with you, Marky! I think overall Disney's handling of the Muppets has been abysmal. I'm just pointing out a couple of things that indicate that the situation might be a little less dire than it at first seems. :smirk:

Earlier this summer, I would have agreed with you, Marky. But then this Christmas CD came out of nowhere--with the right performers, no less! In other words, just because Disney is bad at letting Muppet fans know what's going on, doesn't mean that nothing's going on. Also, for those...

I'm surprised that so many people are upset about this "hiatus." Disney kicked Steve and Dave out of their jobs and caused massive angry upheaveal in the Muppet fan community with a usually mediocre five-minute web show. I'm thrilled that it's on hiatus, and I hope it never comes back! I want...

Hee! I hear what you're saying, Marky. It really is great. It's probably just as well that it doesn't have a forum, though. The other sites need a chance to fill in some need in the Muppet fan community. And I think MC and TP both do that really well!

Wow. I've seen the Wiki many times before, but they've done a lot of updates on the Fierys since the last time I checked. It's great to have all that information collected in one place! Thanks for pointing this out, Fierygirl!

That just blows my mind. I thought for sure the "Did she say it?" goblin was Dave. It sounds just like Beauregard.

Hmm, good question. I saw it at the time, but can no longer remember if it was Victor or Drew playing Pepe. Anyone else? As for how the performance was, it was like most anything on FtB: not terrible, but definitely not the real thing.

As to whether Victor and Drew are permanent replacements, that's a big open question right now. V & D have also appeared as :boo: and :sleep: on ESPN's Big Sports Movie on Sundays, but Disney still credits Steve and Dave as the "official" performers. As for who played what and when, all you...

Byron!! Long time no write, my friend! How've you been?

Chicago is...very warm, actually. :) To be honest, that's not fair: after several blistering weeks in the upper 90's, we're now enjoying an extremely pleasant cool front. As for me, myself, I'm still broke. Some things never change, I guess. ;) What were you passing through Chicago for?

I would want to see a Floyd replica. For some odd reason, Jerry Nelson's characters always get the short shrift when it comes to merchandise! Rowlf would be great too. (Waves hi at Beauregard, who said hi to him in another thread that's now closed.)

Chelsey, do you not understand that Alorindanya was trying to help you? There's absolutely no reason for this kind of wrath.

BTW, Jake, don't forget to tell us when your interview is up on The Pulse!

Stormclouds, I understand this is a difficult time, but you can disagree with other forum members without being temperamental. Believe me, I know it's hard - I'm going through the same thing in another forum right now. But a lack of politeness will not help win anyone to your point of view...

Jake, Thank you for taking the time to post, and responding so gracefully. I'm a writer myself, and I know how hard it is when one's own work gets attacked. I read the link on the LiveJournal before it was removed, and I have to say I'm puzzled by some of the choices (the artwork more so...
