    YIKES! Where did THESE come from?

    Ever on the search for good examples of bad examples of Muppet Plush, I found these: Buggy eyed, possibly electrocuted Animal :concern: and "My feet are swollen, and I can't decide if I'm in pain or laughing at it" Kermit :eek: Now, the wiki article states they're from the Disney...

    Fraggle Rock Clock, Shot glasses and Wristband!

    I like the shot glasses just fine, but I do wish they had full sized pint glasses as well. I'd love to buy those if they did. Anyway, yeah... they had this stuff for quite a while, even before Christmas. Actually, they had Christmas ornaments as well, and I unfortunately never got the...

    Why people dislike modern Sesame Street

    The sad thing is, I didn't actually mind Barney at first... just... terrible acting from everyone involved, the cheapness of squishing bad lyrics into public domain songs, and the whole school kids worshiping Barney as a cult in the show thing got on my nerves after a while. There's nothing...

    Spierigs OFF POTDC

    They can't seem to get a single project up and running, can they? I mean their biggest hit is a Singapore based animated CGI series with Canadian voice actors and the only Henson thing about it is the creator works for them now. Sid seems like it did pretty good (at least it's digital puppetry...

    Mars Needs Moms

    Ah, come now... it couldn't be any worse than the film that should never speak of its name. Still, I hope Garden Dwarves don't become some idiotic fad, especially the only reason why said unspeakable act of theatrical cruelty used Lawn Elfs was because they willfully wanted to rip off Toy...

    In which Garfield is Jon told "Disco is dead you jerk!"?

    Are those even still in print? I never managed to pick them up... and the address given for Amazon somehow doesn't work.

    The Muppet Mindset

    Yeah, but in that case, we eventually got plans that it's further and further from being made. And let's go through that one... months of cautious optimism, followed by a little doubt... then news that something's happening so we have more cautious optimism followed by a slow decline in...

    Murray coming to Sesame Place

    It's nice to know a character that's been around over 5 years (he was unnamed for the first 2, though) actually GETS a following. The puppet design alone is amazing on him.

    Mars Needs Moms

    It happens with directors, especially older ones. They rely too much on shiny new technology, they don't care about the project's quality. Sure, they like to say they're kids in a candy store, but let's be honest... they think it's the only way to stay relevant... or else they fool themselves...

    Save One Life to Live site

    The "New World Order" sucks. Let's just say that. Instant gratification is the worst thing to happen to happen to the media since... well, EVER, actually. Sure nothing's profitable anymore, but that's because everyone's a spoiled by expensive technology they could only afford by maxxing out...

    Why people dislike modern Sesame Street

    I'm starting to think what REALLY is making the writing suffer is both the idiotic 10-15 minutes of solid story they have to use now (a LOT of stories can benefit from time passing in between letter and number segments), and the obvious fact that they have a smaller writing staff now because of...

    The Chipmunks

    I mean the songs, though... quite frankly, I don't think it exactly would rival anything by the official band. Which makes me wonder... when Peter Pan did the Songs from Sesame Street album, why on Earth did Children's Television Workshop give the music rights to someone releasing an inferior...

    Why people dislike modern Sesame Street

    That must show how sad things are. That makes it sound like watching something enjoyable is work! Writing is writing. Every writer has a handicap and advantage. Some characters are harder to write for than others. It happens, and it's unfortunate. Big Bird is decievingly complex to...

    The Muppet Mindset

    I've posted it several times already, and yes, people have a right to say "I think that's a negative opinion"... people don't have a right to say "I don't like your opinion" and start name calling and destroying a good discussion that NEEDS to be made. I have defended pretty much everything I...

    Muppet Comics Cancelled?

    I'm sure Marvel could have plans for Disney comics reprints at some point (it would be blasphemous not to, and Disney classic comic reprint fans even more passionate than myself will really be up in arms if they don't)... but bringing back fan favorite cartoons that Disney swept under the rug...

    Muppet Comics Cancelled?

    Marvel BETTER THE HECK have plans for Disney comics... because Boom lost classic Disney titles as well. I'm sure they do... but this isn't good news for Boom and doesn't bode well for Darkwing, Ducktales and Rescue Rangers. They still have the license well through July for those, but other...

    Murray coming to Sesame Place

    They really did a good job trying to capture the character here... even the nose is more or less in the right place. Too bad there's not little Ovejita to follow him around, though. Something tells me Ovejita is going to be the next Seymour, in terms of how Pepe became so much more popular.

    English cartoons that can't be dubbed....

    I dunno why the guy's even in charge of anything. That said, what they did for TMNT was a boon to turtledom (considering new He-Man was a flop) I'm at a loss to really dislike them. That said, Nintendo made WAAAAAY more money than 4Kids did on the series.

    "The Draidle Game"

    Actually, the interview SAID there was one, but I actually can't find any info if one existed... but there WAS one about teen pregnancy (probably talked about it there)... and of course, drugs (where Fat Albert becomes an unwitting delivery boy and winds up taking down the drug dealing brother...

    "The Draidle Game"

    I remember reading the linear notes to the 4 disk "Greatest Hits" DVD (which that episode wasn't on) and there was an interview with Lou Schimer talking about that episode briefly. It was their every intention to say, if you're going to prison, you might get raped. They also had an episode...
