    If Kermit stops hosting...

    I think the only reason Clifford was made the host was because he was a character almost no one knew at the time. So they could easily manipulate his character abd create a host. Plus he was a character performed by Kevin Clash who ws a main performer at the time and hopefully will be again...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    There is a Jim Hill article that says the Disney lawyers made the writer's take out every reference to the movie for fear of Ted Turner sueing them. There were suppose to be jokes and stuff dealing with the MGM film all over the movie. One thing I'm surprised at is that there wasn't a new...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 36

    Perhaps they did that because tiny BB was done against green green and Matt was available for tapping that day when Carroll was not. I thinl it is a good idea to mix p BB voices. This way kids can easily get use to the change when Matt eventually takes over. Sad to think about it, but...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    Actually I did somethig similar simply because I never read the book before. I didn't go as far as to say the book was wrong though. lol I did find it weird to find out that Piggy's character was originally a guy. I actually preffer the MTI version.

    " So 'Girls Gone Wild'...um, whats so bad about that reference? A video tape with some toplessness. OH NOES! We can show people getting shot to death on tv but no toplesses. God bless America! We live in a country where half the magazines are gun and hunting magazines...where the millitary is...

    "The Muppets' Wizard of Oz" disappoints - Jim Hill

    3rd is not that bad. It could have been last. Family guy got the same ratings on a sunday I think.

    Well he does suffer from sticky paint but as far as sculpt accuracy he's real nice.

    I totally forgot about Janice's line in GMS and MTM/ Another perfect example of how this has always been part of the muppets. Asl ong as the right character is used it's fine.

    What does Clifford have to do with Sal not being made?

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    I think they made Toto a talking character because it would be kind of weird to have some muppet dog following them and not talking and of course a real dog just wouldn't work. So the only way to have Toto is as a talking character. Of course I would rather Rowlf, but Rowlf is kind of big. It...

    Regarding Pepe

    Pepe is basically the non-muppet muppet. Just like Bean is the embodiment if the cute side of the muppets, Pepe is the embodiment of the adult side of the muppets and the other pretty much fall in between. So, he's supposed to be crass and stuff. It's just like Bean being way too cute. It's...

    "The Muppets' Wizard of Oz" Final Ratings.

    So, AVMMC got a 3.8 share? So then MWoO almost went up a whole point.

    Favorite Palisades figures

    As far as likeness and sculpt, my top 5 would have to be, in no particular order: Series 8 Sam, shifty more than regular Series 5 Gonzo, though the nose paint wasn't perfected until later Series 9 Pops. Perfect except for the lack of those tiny stripes. Series 7 Jonny who just...

    Rowlf's Hands

    Well who ever does Rowlf's hands now (when we actually see him that is) should learn the paino. One time I saw the new Rowlf playing and it didn't look right at all.

    Did you ever think the 90's destroyed you were older? If you really look back at theo lder stuff they get away with a lot of stuff you could not get away with today. The difference is today you have parents groups pointing out every last adult themed thing in cartoons so you get the watered...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    You are insane if you think THIS movie is what caused the down fall of society and will make the world end. Seriously, there was nothing in it that was that bad. It was rated PG which means it was up to parents to let their kids watch or not. If a 4 year old watched it all the way through it...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    Is it now a running gag in the new movies that Kermit gets goosed? If so, I think that's kind of funny. So is it official that Brian did not voice Scooter? I know he voiced Sal, but do we know he didn't voice Scooter? It sounded like it was dubbed later to me.

    Henson Contro system and CGI

    The Doozers mouthes moved using the radio control system. A performer put their hand into what looked like a puppet mouth and as the performer operated the larger mouth the smaller mouth would move. The same was used for the gorgs. Walso, on the Jim Henson Hour and in Muppet Vision was...
