Like I said... only Super Hero summer movies get month and a half before merchandising release and everything else has been downgraded to the week of the movie's release. Kung Fu Panda 2, The Smurfs, and Real Steal popped up just after the movie (Smurf stuff sold inexplicably well, by the way)...

I'll say this. Maybe it's just in my market or something, but I WISH I could see The Muppets every single commercial break in the middle of every show instead of being mentally assaulted by Adam Sandler in drag, my favorite comedian in a HIDEOUS movie that's ugly all over, a glorified Prep and...

This was confirmed by Chris Cerf somewhere on Youtube. Even though it did sound like Kevin to an extent... I dunno... it's the words of someone who was there over mine. There's something special about Kevin's Splinter... I don't know what it is. Something that outshines even Peter Renaday's...

I have to admit, I don't like the term quiet as it applies to Elmo as I'd say he's more not all that wild. There is a lot of character evolution, but if you check out earlier Elmo bits (like the Monster Hits video) he's much more a bratty little kid than the calmer, gentler character he is...

Yeah it seems Scooter only worked with the Muppets initially because he's that kind of guy who's having problems getting hired and needs work for the experience and had to beg and plead his Uncle to give him a hand. But after a while he got accepted into the group in the same kind of closeness...

UGH! I had to reload the Walter interview like 10 times to get it to work. Whatever player they're using on this site is one of the worst. But E-FREAKING-GAD! Someone's reading this site, yo! There's no other reason for Walter's references to not only the ridiculously long wait for seasons...

Yeah. About 1998 or so. I remember having to miss an episode to have to take PSAT's or something. It was a kid's puppet show that wasn't a kiddy puppet show. It had some subversive humor in it, I remember... had a character that was a punk rock moldy piece of fruit called Johnny Rottenapple...

Remember when everyone caused that stink about the non-canonical barely official Popeye comic book where Olive Oyl and Popeye married? What about this show? Seriously, I'd feel more bad about Sony handling the Popeye movie if the character didn't go through so much absolute insanity over the...

That's big enough to be its own thread. They got interviews with Floyd and Janice and even Scooter. David's doing a fabulous job with both Janice and Scooter.

You could also reason that Doc didn't get completely discouraged by Kermit's showdown (and giant Animal's head breaking out of the building) and found a less talented Frog who was willing to sell out. Thus, the franchise became a huge hit, albeit a slow start up. Or we could take it as a...

Henson needs, and has ALWAYS needed a business partner. Just to get projects out to the public. I wouldn't doubt that they have some sort of money problems, but let's face it... if they want a movie or TV show out there, they need someone to distribute and market and help fund the thing. In...

Scooter got the job because his uncle owned the theater, and that was the character's leverage. Scooter could screw up, slack off, be unco-operative if he wanted to, and Kermit could do anything about it. Even if he so much as lost his temper, all Scooter would say is "My Uncle owns the...

I just hate it because it's something that would be a midseason replacement 8-10 years ago that should have ended after the third episode. But for some reason people like it? Yeah, she is a self absorbed not that attractive "outspoken" (read: snotty like everyone else) and seems to have a bug...

UGH! They were trying DESPERATELY to clear those stupid things out. The only defense I see is that they thought kids would want to play with action movie type characters. But they were wrong. On the one hand I'm glad they have stuff at all. It's definitely more than the Up Merchandise or...

Eh... no. It's just because they never intended for Muppet Babies to be anything but a cartoon show and a line of merchandise. Sort of like how the Real Ghostbusters cartoon takes EVERYTHING that happened in the movie and references those events, but the second movie ignores everything that...

The thing that's strange to me is that they are indeed referencing the other films. After all, Charles Grodin was supposed to reprise his role as Nick Holiday but decline due to a prior engagement. But there never is an established canon, and there has never been a sequel. Though, VMX DID say...

Yeah, Elmo just wouldn't work well under Richard. His calmest character is Scooter. I could see a Scooter-like Elmo... but it just wouldn't have been the same. Baby Bear? I tend to think that's David Rudman's tribute to Richard. But other than Scooter, Richard's characters were loud and...

Henson wouldn't allow it any other way. I wouldn't be opposed to CGI assistance, like adding Doozers or extra background Fraggles, but I doubt that anyone at Henson would allow them to make a CGI Alvin and the Chipmunks like Fraggle film.

DVD's AND Blu will both be obsolete when digital downloads completely take over. But, let's be honest, a lot of people, myself included, want to actually HAVE something we can hold in our hands... something we can find under the Christmas Tree wrapped up in nice paper. Digital downloads don't...

Everything about that movie just seemed like a bad experiment that became gruesome... something more atone to VanNeuter than Bunsen and Beaker. The fact they wanted it to look like 1960's Batman for one. Made it too brightly colorful... in the words of a Pimple Faced Teenager from The Simpsons...
