    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    At the risk of sounding negative or anything.... I don't care about the motion comics. Never did. They were a cute idea and everything, and maybe a nice way to get interest in the comics... though that's going to be absolutely unnecessary now... The Sherlock Holmes TPB is out, and that's...

    Theories why Bear came to an end

    The thing is, technology should live side by side with certain things... television especially. Sure, I can see DVD's going, and no CD's and stuff like that, though if I REALLY want something, I'd rather have it in my hands and say it's for a collection. Then again, when it comes to TV...

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    That's exactly how we're all feeling. They've been doing a good job until recently... Sure, the film was busy filming, and I'm sure the Puppeteers need rest. But HEY, why not make 2 or 3 more virals between now and the movie. Those things dried up last year because they weren't exactly sure...

    Least likeable Sesame character?

    Horatio Elephant was only played by Marty for Monster Clubhouse. Dave did him ONCE as Mr. On Top Of (from the Mr. Between segment). Horatio basically came out of "We spent a fortune on this puppet, let's get as much use out of it as possible." As for the "Near and Far" bit... jeez... just...

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    That's what I wanna know. The last 2 years it was set out a little, bring it back, set out a little bring it back. There's a difference between being careful, and being Wembley. And this is real Wembling right here. Releasing a few small, bean bag sized plush will not derail the train...

    Seven Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    Though, to it's credit, Henson has been better at releasing its back catalog. We have the complete Fraggle Rock on DVD, and a whole bunch of specials we thought we'd never see, while Disney has yet to really bring anything out... though it's still in question if TMS seasons were halted do to...

    Seven Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    Maybe people are thinking about the "Disney was an Anti-Semite" thing... I'm completely lost with it and just skimming through. There is no greater quote I could say than this: Okay... Unmade Disney projects: America's Next Top Muppet (stupid idea anyway, was sure to suck) Muppet...

    Hasbro's Sesame line to be unveiled at Toy Fare

    Well, the collect-a-pal line was pretty good. I'm disappointed they only had one series. Plush, they had the BEST Count Plush period. Even better than the more expensive Gund... but yeah... for a while it was ALL about the lousy Singing/Dancing Elmo dolls. Sigh, I NEVER saw they Tyco...

    *Sigh* It's That Time of the Decade Again...

    Yep... that's the idiot lobbyist group that's heckbent on destroying childhood. This whole "kids are so stupid and can't think for themselves! Now let's go take our SUV's to Wal*Mart and buy Blu-Rays and get some Viagra!" This is a capitalist country... wait... even in COMMUNIST countries...

    Seven Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    Before someone else SKIMMS my post and puts words into my mouth that weren't there... That comment came out of the fact that Henson has partnered with Weinstine, a company that lost a vast amount of money (I don't want to say they probably invested it with that Madoff guy, since it's probably...

    *Sigh* It's That Time of the Decade Again...

    That's what we want to think, but the corporations are going to screw that up too. People went to the internet (which I'm falling less and less in love with) because they were sick of how meddling and fuddling made TV more and more restrictive. Wait till they do that to the internet. Just you...

    Mars Needs Moms

    Okay... apparently, the book DID sorta look like this... but how COOL would it be if the movie had characters that looked sort of like this. All and all, I completely agree. Imagemovers, I'm sorry for the jobless animators and I hate to see more people out of work, but maybe it's good that...

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    The problem with the virals is that, well, I'm sure they could have taken some time to do them during the movie (much like how Jason was still doing HIMYM at the same time), but I think its best they didn't. Now that the movie's over, I'm sure the puppeteers deserve a rest. After that...

    *Sigh* It's That Time of the Decade Again...

    You have a point there, actually. First off, why do we rely on textbooks? Sweetheart deals, of course. Same reason why we have all those standardized tests. Someone has to buy them... why not "require" them? Schools are losing a fortune in funding, and NONE of said text book companies can...

    Seven Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    That is the general disaster. But let's face it, how much of a leg to stand on DOES Henson even have anymore? They're primary partner needs partners, and sat on a movie for a year so they could add fart jokes and crotch bonk jokes so it would be a success. Other than that, their new projects...

    *Sigh* It's That Time of the Decade Again...

    I could go on and on about the atmosphere of 2002-2007, but I won't. We remember how oppressive it was, how we were bullied and told to shut up (by the very same people who do nothing BUT whine now, oddly enough), and to follow everything they said. I was so afraid they'd bring back HUAC. We...

    *Sigh* It's That Time of the Decade Again...

    It's one of those "Let's slash bone and call it fat" maneuvers. I don't know to what extent, but let's say a certain party is acting Eric Cartman like, and bullying, whining, crying, and acting like ill behaved children until they get what they want. And what they want is steep cuts so the big...

    The Jim Henson Company Puppets to perform at the 2011 Grammys

    That's the thing. We LET it control us and power us. We create a Frankenstein, and freak out when it attacks the villagers. People are afraid of being desensitized, but somehow, that's not necessarily a bad thing. If we take away the shock out of the shock value, it's essentially nothing...

    Least likeable Sesame character?

    But outside of that, Joey wouldn't have many characters. The elephant has been on less and less (you have to give Murray credit for that), Joey and Davey Monkey are gone, As are Humphry and Ingrid. So that just leaves incidentals. Same thing I said about Baby Bear... he wanted a signature...

    *Sigh* It's That Time of the Decade Again...

    It's that time of the decade AGAIN! And it looks like it's going to happen this time. YAY for small government that refuses to let big corporations follow any rules and exploit the heck out of us, but still manages to sneak into people's personal lives to tell us who can and can't marry, who...
