ROTFL!!! :D

The Spooky One! LOL!! I think our favorite obscure Muppet just got a new nickname. ;)

If I go, I will very likely be taking pictures. In the meantime, do a search on Laughingplace.com. I saw a whole bunch of photos there when the CA version opened.

Yeah. If there's no line, just stand and wait and watch the pre-show anyway. You can always catch the next showing of the movie in the theater. The preshow is often half the fun with themepark attractions these days (and I think the Muppets qualify for that). Does anyone else live in...

Well, it has been a while since I've seen it, so maybe my memory's bad. But it seems more likely that I'd forget something than it does that I'd imagine someone being there if they weren't! No shame for missing him. Your attention was on the foreground, where Bunsen and Beaker are doing funny...

I just tried to download it, but the computer says it will take 3 hours. And I have a cable modem! (It is on a network, though, so maybe that's the problem.) Maybe later traffic on the Net won't be so bad and I can get it. Remind me about this sometime.

Actually, Ernie, the Muppets won't technically be 50 till 2005. Warrick's just getting a big head start. :smirk: I'd want to see all the regular Muppets from all the main series, including Sesame Street. They could pay Sesame Workshop a nominal fee to use the characters (or the characters...

Ahh. Your point is clearer now, and I respect your right to express that. I just noticed your location. I lived in IL till 5 months ago. The construction really is quite random and arbitrary there, isn't it? ;) I'm glad I don't have to travel the 294 anymore, and I guess the 57 was pretty...

Well, Skeeter, if you're trying to say I'm an idiot for thinking a flag means anything, you've failed to prove your point. First, a Sweden flag wouldn't offend me because we're not at war with Sweden. If I saw a Swedish flag, I'd assume that's just where you were from. Sid doesn't have that...

But by flying Saddam's flag, you side with him and everything he stands for. You can make your points about Bush and oil without doing something so obviously inflammatory as this. Since you still feel so persecuted, let me put it in a different perspective for you. Essentially, you've just...

Re: Reply Surprisingly, Adam didn't sound that much like Richard, from what I heard. Granted, it was only one line. Matt Vogel voiced Scooter for Muppet RaceMania -- I wonder why he wasn't involved with VMMCM? (Maybe conflicts with filming Sesame, or an inability to fit additional...

A note about Steve's Statler: Some people are wondering why they decided to "give" Statler to Steve. The official word from the Henson company is that Jerry was just unavailable, but that Statler is still Jerry's character. About Time-Life: They don't follow a numbering order; they just ship...

No, you're not alone, C. (In fact, I wish Cory was here. He's the BIGGEST Digit fan!) I thought he was a visually fascinating character brought to life with great humor by Dave Geolz. I would have liked to see him in future Muppet productions. As to why they stopped using him, three guesses...

Luke, you seem to have made a typo. You said Disney wanted to buy out ALF in 1985, but the show didn't start till 1986--as I'm sure you know! ;) So what's the actual date?

Oh, I forgot to mention: I'm still not convinced that Disney is just buying the Muppets, not the Henson Company. These article writers have been wrong so many times before. Since no one writing the articles has ever seen a Muppet production recently, they probably think all there is to buy is...

Oh, I'm totally with you on the CGI stuff, Dan. I have no problems with Henson doing many movies with new, computer-generated characters using the Performance Control System demonstrated at MuppetFest. That will get people's attention; it'll keep the puppeteers employed; and they might even one...

Hi, FerrariGuy! Welcome to the forum! :) From all that's been reported, the ending of the show was not a deliberate attempt to cause an outcry to get the show back. They were pretty much just wrapping filming, and Sci-Fi called to tell them it wasn't honoring the rest of its contract. The...

Well, I wasn't going to say anything unless someone mentioned it, but those weren't very good either. :o In fact, they weren't even as good as the cartoons by the newcomers. They felt very tired, the humor fell flat, and they were surprisingly short (4-5 min. instead of the usual 7), as if he...

Sorry, dude, I can't make this stuff up if I wanted to. :) I read it in the LA Times in late January. They were trying to push the rule through for this year, but there was so much controversy they decided to wait till next year. Hopefully, since you haven't heard about this yet, that means...

Daniel, "He wants to rejuvenate the company by expanding into more forms of entertainment besides puppetry" I don't remember reading that in any of the articles. Can you expand on what he said? I'm not sure how I feel about this. Why should we have Henson productions that are just...
