    Muppet DVDs at Kmart

    I haven't seen KSY in stores at all since after I graduated college and said to myself... "next week, I'll go to Best Buy and get that 5 dollar copy." That was at least 5 years ago. I never went back. Yet, I find MFS and EIG at Target for 5 all the time, and I already gots both.

    You also wonder why he would have done it. Didn't Batman get him typecast and almost ruin his career (much like a certain other batty role that typecast Bela Legousi?) Seems his was some odd flick that would have been much better as an indie film, not a summer toy selling blockbuster. And it...

    Overrated Movies

    I never liked the assumption that when you finally get a worthy reboot of a franchise all it does is turn off "purists" who can't see the difference between a worth while project with a lot of thought and care behind it and something to the extent of New George of the Jungle or something...

    2011 Muppet Movie plot officially announced

    I don't want any of them. Here's why. Other than the obvious fact it would be a huge step backward, tying in Disney employees to this film, I'd liken that to the nonstop NBC TV show promos in VMX (and to some extent LTS). I do not want this to be a project the emphasizes it's a Disney...

    The "Next Muppet on Family Guy" thread

    Actually, I have problems with BOTH. Both shows have hit their strides long ago (though I do like the FG Star Wars episodes... need to see the third one), and they're at the point where if you see one or two good episodes a season it at least means they're trying. I hate how everyone in FG has...

    Frogboy has a better spin on this than I do... Suffice to say, I really liked those 2 Batman movies Tim Burton did... I felt the third one enjoyable, but I HATE how Twoface was portrayed with the Joker's personality, and I have yet to meet anyone who LIKED Batman and Robin. When it came down...

    Sesame Street Character Voice Comparisons

    Well said and well put. The only little nit I'd have to pick is that Eric really doesn't have quite the singing range Frank had when it comes to performing Miss Piggy or Grover. But other than that, he gives a very energetic performance of those characters. Frank's still got it when he...

    New Pics: Jason Segel and the Muppets at the L.A. movie set

    There's worse... I swear I saw one years ago that made him look like a stuffed couch. Cookie's posers never looked right to me... not 1970's Flat Head Cookie (even though the puppet looked like that, it still didn't have the same appearance as the actual puppet did) and especially the new age...

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    It spoke mounds about how anal retentively PC these groups want us to be. There's a difference between actual stereotyping and name calling to hurt someone and not pleasing a small fraction of a group. When I think of all the fussing and constant revisions they had to go through (that could...

    New Pics: Jason Segel and the Muppets at the L.A. movie set

    Actually, that's one of the better Cookie Posers. I guess when it comes down to it, the hand of the puppeteer gives the characters their shape that just can't can't be replicated, especially with more glove like puppets (Kermit, Walter...etc) where the hand can simulate a range of emotions...

    Overrated Movies

    Saying Avatar is overrated is in itself overrated. A movie really has to be overrated to say that. But what do you expect from the overrated director that gave us that overrated classic Titanic? And everything that M Night Shabbadoo guy does is overrated, even if it's a flop. Dude has NO...

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    Yeah, but for 5 and 6 year old girls, that stuff's the bee's knees. And that's the demo they're going for. I know a LOT of female TMNT enthusiasts. So older nerdy girls have very similar tastes to 10 year old boys. You're right about the family aspect, but they were still trying to pull...

    What if the New Muppet Movie's Villain had a Muppet Sidekick?

    I don't like the idea of Pepe being a toadie for the bad guy. He flirted with that to an extent in VMX, and this film's plot is pretty close to that project as it is.

    Why people dislike modern Sesame Street

    That's a little too ghoulish for them to ever consider. And I agree, Mumford was around then, and it seems they never bothered considering that with him around either. But back to the subject, I'm disliking multiple reusals of single footage in a season. Now, this isn't a snappy little...

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    Don't let it stop you. You could very well write a GOOD one! :sing: To elaborate, the only info added into the film was taken from bits of wikipedia (and doubtful it was Muppet Wiki), and generic biopic nonsense polluted the project. Over all, I get out of it wasn't that Jim should have...

    2011 Muppet Movie plot officially announced

    That said, that movie stunk, but NOT as bad as Yo Yogi or Yogi's Space Race. Really, look those up somewhere... they're TERRIBLE! And Yo Yogi was a more jaded attempt at hipping up the character than the film will ever be. Yo Yogi killed the character. As for the movie, I can't even blame...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Wow. A big company people have actually heard of is one thing, but Together Again Productions? What the freak is that? These companies suffer from hubris to be sure.

    2011 Muppet Movie plot officially announced

    That thread was deleted, so I might as well post it here... That Yogi Movie basically had a "save the X" plot too, so there's always that concern.

    Muppet Show Season 4 coming in 2013

    I think it's high time to either close or lock or delete this thread or something until we have any actual news about the season's release. Pining over it and complaining about it is not going to make it come any faster, and any new posts would suggest someone has any actual info... but instead...

    Rumor: Big Bird only in four Season 41 episodes

    Unless I miscounted (I swear there was one more) barring any insert footage, there were only about 4 street stories that featured him. However, there were at least 2 or 3 inserts (one was even repeated) as well. Plus, Oscar was there quite a bit.
