    Commercial rant time...

    I see what you mean... though my entire thesis of this post is that there's so many annoying, frustrating, and self serving regulations on kid's TV commercials (leading to even more frustraiting, annoying, self serving regulations for kid's Television on the whole- thus making it not profitable...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    I think an on the Road setting would work fine, and break up the monotony of having the same exact theater setting issue after issue. I thought taking the story outside of the theater in the Miss Piggy issue was just amazing and bold. And it still had the same format. I;m sure that as the...

    Alternate intros?

    Plus, if they did make an alternate intro, they would have fixed an obvious puppeteering mistake on Gobo's "WOWEEEEEEEE" as he runs through the caves.

    Will Muppet Babies ever be reaired or released on DVD?

    As I've stated before... this is going to be handled by the same company that refused to finish ANY of the Disney Afternoon and The Tick Box sets... some with only 1 volume left to go. Even if we do get these some day, I doubt we'd get the complete series completely completed. And they'd...

    Remaking Classic Horror Films

    Audiences don't usually fall for them. by the way... I stated it on the Yellow Submarine thread that most remakes are perceived as stupid by the general public... again, i state the 1990's remake of Psycho as my basis. That went well...:rolleyes: Sure, there are times when we have The Nutty...

    Are there different edits/versions of Sid the Science Kid?

    Hmmm... surprising. The PBS broadcast actually cut stuff out? Usually, I notice the opposite. Seems when a show is made for PBS, but with options to run somewhere else in the future, there's a couple extra scenes that are made to be removed when they get a commercial network run. Examples-...

    40th Anniversary FP 1-2-3 SST Playset

    That sounds like a wonderful idea and something they SHOULD be doing. But the less romantic truth is half of these figures in the PVC sets have already been released (if not all of them)... The Ernie was part of a low cost PVC series that sold a couple years ago for a buck each- also at...

    Zemekis/Disney To Remake "Yellow Submarine?"

    But, I must say this... there is NO doubt in my mind that the remake will ever replace, or even come close to the original to the general public. No remake has ever replaced the original... no matter how many sequels or how many roles that Eddie Murphy played. Not even the millions and...

    Zemekis/Disney To Remake "Yellow Submarine?"

    I really don't think kids will care one way or another. If Disney wants to meddle in the film and turn it into everything they're doing right now- perish the thought- that's the only reason these jaded kids would watch the film. Even then, i hate what's happened to the public's perception of...

    Should there be more 40th anniversary DVD ?

    Ay... the biggest problem with the anniversary is that it's hitting when SW is having financial difficulties. The toy merchandise is sparse and not too impressive (not to mention frighteningly expensive), they can't afford to have any actual TV specials (and PBS would sooner run Wayne Dyer's...

    If the Electric Mayhem...

    There probably is some music out there they would cover... but I can't think of anything out there. Sure, I could see other muppets doing some current songs... but nothing really seems to live up to the fast paced, loud, Jazzy music the Electric Mayhem plays. To me, the Mayhem is a rock/jazz...

    Zemekis/Disney To Remake "Yellow Submarine?"

    ... Rock and Roll High School Remake.... sure... there's ABSOULTELY nothing that has been successful that they'd alter this to be a clone of. Certainly nothing that was on the Disney Channel and is 4 movies (one in the works). I'd almost be more upset with that one. Here's a funny...

    Remaking Classic Horror Films

    I could get on a 5 page rant about why I hate Horror movie franchises like that... but then again, Friday the Thirteenth, Nightmare on Elm Street and Child's Play have had an unprecedented amount of sequels. in some cases, they jump right out of the horror and into the fun, campy cult genre...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    Seems like that's something they wanted to do. I think the sale of the Muppet Show muppets to Disney was the best thing that could have happened to Henson. it frees them so they can handle Fraggle Rock, the Creature Shop, and new projects. The problem is they just do too darn much now, and...

    Increase in Persons with Moneys

    I'll take anyways over "Gianormous." plus, if *I hear one more old white guy use the word bling (either vocally or in a commercial they wrote) I'm gonna go insane. Rappers don't even use that anymore. it's the rough equivalent of someone still saying "gettin' Jiggy with it" or "In da House."...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    I just think we need a Fraggle Rock movie. We got 6 theatrical Muppet Show movies, 3 Telefilm/DTV movies, and 2 Sesame Street movies. We don't wanna be this close and have it all be for nothing. I still say henson should seek other options just in case. They NEED this film, as well as DC2...

    Rumor: Abby gets own segment

    The fact that they made them look exactly like puppets is a little unnerving. I think SS should have CGI in it, but not at the risk of replacing puppets. On the contrary... I think CGi should be used to aide the puppets. And somehow, I get the feeling that this was made to be an overseas TV...

    Parody/Spoof Movies Thread

    I know I bring up Japanese stuff a lot, but I think they have a much more sophisticated way of using toilet humor... or at least a funnier one. You all know my favorite series is Kinnikuman/Ultimate Muscle, and there is NO show more married to farts than that one. In fact, translated into...
