    TV Alert: Muppets at the 84th Academy Awards on ABC

    The Academy has always chosen some pretty ehhh songs that don't seem that special, or at worst cases give you a complete feeling of "WHAT IN THE..?..... ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS?!?!" it sometimes feels like it's the last category they have to judge on after a long, long day and they just want...

    Speculation: Potential Sequel for "The Muppets"

    Think of it this way... if you felt that the alternative timeline was disturbing, think of how disturbing it was for Kermit (though I'm sure he enjoyed seeing Mr. Wholesome All American Sam as a rave monkey). I don't think it would have had the same impact if the rest of the characters were...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    I'd see something like this as a series listing: The Adventures of D.W. and Cheik Singing about Countries: In this new spinoff of a highly superior series, we find D.W. and her new friend, Brain's inexplicable African cousin think they're the Animaniacs singing songs that seem like a bad rip...

    Speculation: Potential Sequel for "The Muppets"

    Opening number had someone getting shot. That's pretty dark for me. Though they did play one of the scariest characters in the book into an Inspector Clouseau type character... Not to mention that Long John Silver was one of the only 2 Muppet Movie villains that actually tried to kill Kermit.

    Speculation: Potential Sequel for "The Muppets"

    Well, considering how surprisingly dark MTI got in cases and referenced death only a bazillion times, I'm not really sure if that applies... but I've seen far darker versions of a Christmas Carol. The Mickey Mouse one alone had that terrifying imagery of Scrooge McDuck being forced into a...

    Speculation: Potential Sequel for "The Muppets"

    VMX was a ratings hit, and it got a lot of people who didn't even care the Muppets were still around to watch. That's all I'm going to say. I do get the negativity of a movie not going to happen because... well... in the long history of the Muppets, there were a LOT of films that went...

    Anyone else sick of this?

    Here's my experience in spoilerdom. I was at Muppet Wiki... there was some link in some page referring to human Walter, and not even by clicking it, I moved the mouse over, and the status bar says "Jim Parsons." and I just banged my head on the desk very VERY hard for doing something that...

    Speculation: Potential Sequel for "The Muppets"

    Like I said, most movies that get sequels now get the announcement after the first week at the Box Office. If it's a success, a sequel is no doubt. Half... ehhh... most of the time, these are, like I said, Hangover 2... basically a rehash of the same movie because they were too short sighted...

    Muppet Show Season 1-3 on Bluray

    Here's a thing about music rights. If you put music in a show, even if your characters sing them with different lyrics, you still don't own them. And while it sounds like a simple exchange of money, a lot of music rights holders are... well, let's say joyless old fogies that don't even own so...

    Muppet Show Season 1-3 on Bluray

    If they just re-release the ALREADY released first three seasons, I'm sure we'd all be a whole lot annoyed and angry. I mean, unless season 1's rights are renegotiated and we get the missing songs put back in... at least 90% of the fan base would double dip for it if we get to see Vincent...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Oh, it's gone. It's totally gone. You know it's a bad sign when the PBS affiliate that's the show's production company drops it first. There were a couple meh episodes... even the controversial one with the same sex parents was dull. I mean, to say the least of the huge logic gap in a...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    They di-i-i-i-i-id.... It was the one where Arthur gets a Turkish pen pal. Arthur had some idea that his pen pal, Adil, lived in some weird Arabian Nights fantasy land by reading thinly veiled parody Indiana Jones comics. Then Arthur's neighbor from Ecuador points out how incredibly inaccurate...

    Videos: Deleted Scene and Bloopers from "The Muppets" Blu-ray

    Yeah, like I said... EVERY company wants to do it, though... Rango had 10 scenes and an alternate ending, and I swear there was some very recent movie I just looked at the back of and it was loaded with features... and it was the standard version. It's a big conform or Frog You... something...

    Speculation: Potential Sequel for "The Muppets"

    The thing about the movie is that it was a brand re-launch. If it stood alone, it wouldn't have been that important a movie, and even the entire comeback plotline would be foolish in retrospect. Even though it did well, a sluggish box office season and 3 other kid's movies (though they didn't...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    It was a truly terrible episode that I could only swear is a plea for a lame spinoff series with Cheik and D.W.

    Target Muppets DVD Exclusive with 6 Muppet Show Episodes

    Speculation: Potential Sequel for "The Muppets"

    It's also not arrogance if you choose to move on with your career and want to do other things. I too would like to see the master back at work, but that's all up to him. Like I said before, I'm not disappointed with the statement he made regarding the obviously rough draft of the script, I'm...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    The thing that gets me is that in the Crazy Bus episode, Arthur says something about how one of his friends' little brother or sister would tell if they caught him at Crazy Bus live. Now... unless Arthur has a different set of friends he never hangs out with on screen, none of his friends have...

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    Yeah... that addresses the mass consumer market part. That lead to cost cutting measures of convenience over a thoughtful long term strategy that's equally good for the environment, the consumers, and the business. Like I said, something absolutely everyone who runs a company is completely...

    Speculation: Potential Sequel for "The Muppets"

    What is the assumption that they didn't help shape the script of the last movie? Remember, the film was almost about Kermit actually living in a big mansion, Walter was to be a ventriloquist figure, and there were a lot of direct references to them being puppets and made of felt all over the...
