    Disney Store Muppet Merchandise Released

    With my luck, I'm just gonna wind up with JUST Pepe. I'd love to get Animal, Walter, Beaker, and Gonzo. Want me a Rizzo too. But I have NO shortage of Fozzies and definitely not on Kermits. Too bad they don't have smaller, easy to collect bean bags just yet. THOSE I'd get the entire set...

    What is your favorite childhood toy?

    Other than Rugrats, those things were impossible to find. I never even seen the Doug stuff outside of the Disney's Stores Doug Bean bags and the Doug's first movie kid's meal. Angry beavers DID have merchandise... not quite that much. There were "Sleepy time" plush of Dag and Norb (got...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I would have been happy if that was cut and they did the full version of the Richman backstory so he didn't seem so one dimensional. I bet Amy begged and pleaded for that to be in the film, though and that's why it was there... had it not been for the Piggy segment in that song, I don't think I...

    Nightline: Kevin Clash on "Being Elmo"

    In the video 123, Count with Me, Ernie directly states that he's six. I forget exactly where, though. But consider he's been 6 since 1968, even before the show premiered. in the end, the ages usually mean nothing. How old is Bugs Bunny supposed to be? Or Mickey for that matter? Not since...

    Playskool's Sesame Street Line is available now

    I found the Big Bird and Snuffy set at Target just yesterday. So it's slowly coming out. Saw Abby/Zoe as well.

    "The Muppets" What were you half expecting

    THAT would have been more clever than Statler and Waldorf saving the theater.

    The movie could have been even better (article)

    MupOz was basically the worst stuff about modern Muppet Movies done in the worst possible way... A Classic retelling that tried too hard to be hip like VMX, had stunt casting, and over all just was an ugly very made for TV looking film. Ashanti couldn't act her way through a paper back (a...

    "The Muppets": Audience Reactions

    That happened to me in Bolt... the thing about the kids freaking out about the movie's loudness in MFS... I don't want to paint any broad strokes, but I would imagine that those kids might just have had some developmental disabilities or something. So I can't really say they were acting out...

    The Muppets may be in trouble. :-/

    It's still fifth by a little... unless there's a report that gave the Muppets a million more. No doubt by the weekend it will get there and be the second highest. And that's BY the weekend. The weekend can add up at least another 10 mil. &0 million isn't terrible for a domestic on such a...

    The Muppets may be in trouble. :-/

    More accurate reports state that the Muppets made 60.1 million It's just about to overtake TMTM as the fourth most successful Muppet movie, and will do so by the end of the week... just over 1 million more, and it will be the third.

    Interview with Dave Coulier on "Muppet Babies"

    It's Disney Junior now... and somehow I want to think there's a place, but with the preschool programming they have on that network, it would be completely out of place. For one, Kermit doesn't ask someone to find something for 10 seconds before a fake audience answers his own question. For...

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    I feel the bill was passed to the sounds of the entire LGBT community unanimously mumbling, "....wait a minute!"

    The Muppets Movie Reviews

    I'd probably have to see that overblown excuse of a Christmas special to get a real feeling for what it is, but the plot synopsis, trailers, and overall character looks just give me a total ick. From what I understand the movie's about the clumsy brother who's not as valuable as the others but...

    Early Reports: Looks like Muppets will be #2 (next to Twilight)

    The Smurfs film is amazing in the fact that Sony had so little confidence in the film, they were ready to bury it in the graveyard of August movies. They bumped it up to July (when people actually give a crap), and as it was the only new kid's film out, it made a fortune. Key words...

    The Muppets may be in trouble. :-/

    Puss in Boots is well over a month old and it still manages to find an audience. The Muppet can be that lucky too. Like I said, this is not a school vacation week, and it is the busy holiday shopping season. Even Twilight only got a little, and it didn't beat the Muppets in their second week...

    Interview with Dave Coulier on "Muppet Babies"

    Soon is the word. It's a tricky situation. On the one hand, we have adults who grew up watching MB and have kids they want to share it with... that's the big market. On the other, we have those who remember Muppet Babies over the rest of the Muppet catalog because it was the easiest to access...

    Me Party vs Party For One

    I need to watch that one again... but that's a pretty depressing episode. Maybe I forgot they actually cared about that they'd lose a friend... but I'd almost rather have seen a tearful "We'll miss you" type song than a peppy, "being completely isolated won't be bad." But then again, my...

    Take a Hint...

    Things MUST have changed since, and I bet it has something to do with Disney's ties to Lionsgate (they released Disney produced sitcoms), since several of the LG released specials are intact. I was half expecting new, restored versions of those with Kermit in tact by now... I mean, Rowlf wasn't...

    "The Muppets" What were you half expecting

    The thing I was half expecting was in the script but didn't happen on screen... that is Statler and Waldorf over coming their grumpiness to save the day. But in the end, if I half expected it, that meant that it was pretty painfully obvious if it happened. I'm actually quite fine they didn't...

    Me Party vs Party For One

    Considering the context... Me Party is a crucial moment where Mary is angry with Gary and jealous of all the time he spent with his brother, meanwhile Piggy has the same revelation (though I don't think she genuinely believes it) about not needing Kermit. A Table for One can be Fun is a...
