    Will the DVD have an extended directors cut?

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    I think that Thanksgiving has been diminished over time in part for political correctness and in part because it's not as special as it use to be to have a big meal. It's no longer PC to glorify the founding of the country due to the violence associated with it (kind of like Columbus Day)...

    The Return of "Muppet What-Ifs?"

    Well, for one it would have actually gotten made. I think a Jim Henson Fraggle Rock movie would have had a visual update to the Fraggle World,much like they did with Follow That Bird. It would have been more expansive and detailed. Instead of the fraggles going into "outer space" they...

    "The Happytime Murders" premieres August 24, 2018

    So... is it just me, or does the new Detective Pikachu trailer look like the type of film Happy Time Murders should have been? The movie is taking Pokemon, a childhood property, and making a realistic "gritty" buddy cop movie. They make jokes about the Pokemon like interrogating a Mr. Mime...

    When will The Muppet Show Seasons 4-5 and Muppets Tonight arrive on DVD?

    Unfortunately the last news release didn't even mention the Muppets. At the very least they should stream all of the Muppet content they have backlogged.

    The Muppets 2015: What went wrong?

    I enjoyed the show, but agree that Kermit was not Kermit. To be honest, I was never really a huge fan of Steve as Kermit, though i am a huge fan of Steve. The only production I really liked his Kermit in was MCC and MTI. Every other time Kermit seemed like her was either depressed or way too...

    Who is the best "New" Muppet Character in the last 28 years?

    I really love Johnny Fiama and wish they would bring his character back. Of course he really works best with Sal who is very much a Brian Henson character that would be hard to recast, but I just loved Johnny so much. He's also one of my favorite Palisades figures as well, so I am use to him...

    Do you think we'll see Scooter wear his old shiny green jacket and yellow sweater again?

    This is a hard question. On one hand I adore the classic outfit because it is how I know the character. On the other hand, it's a fairly dated look and it does make sense for Scooter to now be wearing hoodies. Of course being dated can turn into timeless like Bert and Ernie who really haven't...

    New Muppet series in development for Disney's 2019 streaming service

    I think Disney is actually doing less with them now than the JHC did with them. Pre-Disney they did AVMMC, KSY, MWoO, Muppet Party Cruise. They had a heavy merch presence in specialty stores and a critically acclaimed and fairly successful action figure line that made it to 9 series, although...

    When will The Muppet Show Seasons 4-5 and Muppets Tonight arrive on DVD?

    That was also 3 years ago and the Muppets had a TV show on the air. If they couldn't get them out then, I doubt they will get them out now. Short of a straight up Muppet Show reboot/revival I don't think we will see any major cash infused into the Muppets anytime soon. The Muppets don't...

    Stephanie D'Abruzzo responds about Caroll Spinney

    True. I do think Matt's Kermit acts like Jim's more so than Steve's. He knows how to capture the essence of the characters he takes over which helps.

    Stephanie D'Abruzzo responds about Caroll Spinney

    True. I think Eric sounds more like Oscar than Matt sounds like Big Bird and Big Bird is more like Caroll's actual voice. Matt is still pretty excellent though. When I first heard it back in the mid nineties I thought that Caroll just had a cold the day he recorded.

    Stephanie D'Abruzzo responds about Caroll Spinney

    This is true. Its why Kermit is hard to nail as it was close to Jim's voice, but Link Hogthrob (to me anyway) was nailed by Steve and Peter ( more so Peter).

    Halloween is just around the corner

    The world is not less safe than it was, we just have more knowledge of dangerous events than we once did. As long as you are aware of your surroundings and teach your kids common sense nothing bad is likely to happen when trick or treating.

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    I've worked retail for 10 years. The first 6 I spent working in a seasonal department and got really sick of Christmas. The last 4 I was in other departments besides seasonal, but still was heavily exposed to Christmas stuff. This year, unless I land a job (which hopefully I do) I'll be far...

    Nintendo makes the Switch!

    I hope it is real, but I don't think any leaks are real anymore. The only character I want to see in Smash is Geno as I was a HUGE Mario RPG fan.

    Little things we've noticed

    Everyone knows that the three little pigs are a different species of pig. They are ‎"Sus domificator". :D (and yes, I had to get a latin translation for this joke.)

    Mini-Fozzie Muppdate - Now Accepting Orders

    I don't know if the lack of interest is due to there not being an official selling store or if I just disappointed all of you by waiting years to finish an old project. I hope it's not the latter, but understand if it is. Either way, I have decided to open an Etsy store with this figure as...
