    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    Conceptually by which I mean the vast experimental video world vs Vaudeville variety show. I like the concept of JHH over The Muppet Show, but I like the Muppet Show substantially. Though, I really REALLY like what they did with JHH. It didn't try to imitate the Muppet Show at all, and just...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    Someone's gonna give me flack for this... but I think I liked the Muppet Central segments conceptually more than The Muppet Show. It really embraced what television could be and could stand for... and it's experimental nature was far more like Jim. I absolutely hate that it never found the...

    Why isn't Skeeter a Muppet?

    I hope whoever considers Skeeter read the Langridge books... Somehow, I'd just see them just slapping a wig on Scooter and calling it Skeeter. You know, maybe it was for the best. I don't think anyone could have done adult Skeeter the justice Roger and Amy did. I'd LOVE to see that version of...

    "The Muppets" What were you half expecting

    I've noticed that sometimes studios give the directors and writers more creative control if their names are big enough. If they're smaller names just starting up, they put the hammer down on them. That's why Rango and Speed Racer got away with some very PG-13 cussing (Speed Racer even had a...

    Ultra rare characters you'd love to see

    Like I said. They have those Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes movies and all this renewed interest in the character... now's the perfect time for the character to come back... direct parody or reference to the movies or not.

    Letters to Santa: Some thoughts

    I'd tend to say that LTS isn't as hectic and early Family Guy-esque as VMX was. The pacing was slower, and more on par with some of the earlier Muppet movies. Other than some script problems (that lead to some lost opportunities) , the really short running time, and the fact this would have...

    "The Muppets" What were you half expecting

    It really seems the problem is there was too much in the movie that didn't make it into the final product. This probably included more scenes with other characters. But if you think about it, Rizzo's first big movie was MTM. Even in GMC he was basically a background character that had one...

    What's in store for the Muppets in 2012 article

    I'm sure Chipmunks will pick up once the holiday break is out of holidays and full of days where the kids already broke/got bored with all their toys. That's where it's destined to make its money. Still, I wonder if a lot of adults were as annoyed with how the sequel turned out as I was and...

    Ultra rare characters you'd love to see

    I miss any character Kevin played that WASN'T Elmo. Dude's one of the most talented puppeteers in the history of Henson. While Elmo is his signature characters, I miss a lot of the others with contrasting personalities and a variety of different voices. This guy played Splinter in the first...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    That's cause all the film writers and directors, and most of those in the entertainment industry right now grew up with those things and wanted to reference them. Like everything in the 90's had to be a reference to the 70's... remember when everyone was wearing School House Rock T-Shirts? But...

    Breaking news!

    Didn't say it was celebratory... I just said it apparently counts. I'd tend to think the best thing would be to have someone abduct Kim and toss him in a mental institution. One of the crooked ones that still use shock therapy for that matter. Dude was NUTS! Of course, when was there ever a...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    We Built this City was used clearly for one of the many references to 1980's movies... They could have also used "One foot In Front of the Other" from whatever the heck movie that was in (I wanna say Revenge of the Nerds)... it works as well as the parody/reference they were making... the 1980's...

    Ultra rare characters you'd love to see

    She completely disappeared from the show. That's... well... kinda worrisome. Considering she was a main character's relative and all. We haven't seen the rest of Snuffy's family in some time, sure... but you wonder what the heck happened to Alice after all this time. I'd tend to think the...

    Why isn't Skeeter a Muppet?

    The question is, would Muppet High been animated like Muppet Babies or would it have been a puppet production. I could see Skeeter as an animated character, sure... but let's say it was live action, I don't think she'd have a chance of being there. That project has too many unanswered...

    True dat. Egypt's going to get a fundamentalist nutjob running everything. It's freakin' Iran all over again. Kim Jung Eel's little fatso son is probably going to be the same Looney Tunes character that swings his nukes around while telling his people how great it is to starve to death for...

    What's in store for the Muppets in 2012 article

    Holy crap! It got 2 million in 2 days! That's just under a million more than it made over the weekend. Maybe the winter vacation where it's still playing might just jog this thing up a little more.

    The Muppets is now the top-grossing Muppet movie

    I really hate how like 10 films came out in less than 3 weeks. But like I said, they're all going to be scraping and scratching at each other and I doubt any of them will quite make budget. I don't know if Disney saw such a competitive streak coming. I don't really see anyone wanting to see...

    What's in store for the Muppets in 2012 article

    January/February is alright enough for Winter vacation months... that's how that dreadful Gnome thing became a surprise VERY lucky hit. Disney started putting cheapquels and theatrical versions of their cartoon shows in those months (at least Recess, Teacher's Pet, and Doug's First Movie) and...
