    Anyone want to own Grovers Hands?

    For a second, I thought they were making a Grover version of the "Tickle Me Elmo" tickle hands. But nothing is as thrilling as owning the disembodied remains... errrr... a piece of Muppet history.

    SST to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award at 2009 Daytime Emmies

    ... (Still upset at the shameful treatment Carol got on the televised awards. Bet we're gonna get that same sort of shabby treatment, while we have endless minutes of CW stars interiewing soap stars about what their favorite CW show is)

    Could Seth Rogen be the new Rowlf ?

    Listen.... Rogen is very good with Rowlf. Really he is. But not so good that he would abandon a lucrative spotlight career with films like Pineapple Express and that one with the security guard whos name escapes me at the moment (Serve and Protect, right?), etc. etc. to take a lower paying...

    Jim Henson's Pajanimals

    No... they're the worst dubber that's a nationally owned company... the WORST dubbers are those little companies in the 1980's that did those dollar videos. I've seen enough clips of them (PM me if you want some examples) to make me give 4Kids the benefit of the doubt. Of course, they dub...

    Seriously Disney, What The Heck?

    Hey, I ain't just saying Disney, lower gate prices... I'm saying round the board sweeping price declines in everything... mid sized action figures for 5-7 bucks (No way should a shrimpy G.I. Joe/Star Wars/Wolverine 3" AF go for 8 bucks! That's what we were paying 5 years ago for deluxe Muppet...

    Kobe Bryant in Season 40

    Honestly, I think people were and still are WAAAAY too hard on Phelps. But chalk that up to TMZ (an evil organization that makes sure we know every little flaw about celebrities so we can remain blind to real issues... all while destroying careers left and right). Personal feelings about the...

    Kobe Bryant in Season 40

    Wow... Nice how disgraced athletes can try to turn their career around on SS. Remember when Snoop Dogg had to have his scene in VMX cut? I wish Henson gave Shim that sort of chance. Can't wait to hear obvious jokes about it. :) Maybe they should give Michael Phelps a call while they're at...

    Henson-related video games

    Ugh. I tried playing that once. To me the Worst Muppet games were that one and (worst of them all) Chaos at the Carnival... the graphics on that one... shudder shudder. Hi Tech expressions had no right to ever make video games. Ever. The Sesame Street ones were okay for what they were...

    15 minute PBS educational shows

    Okay.... Apparently I got Parlez-Moi mixed up with Telefrancais I thought it was odd that we got 2 French language programs in Massachusetts, since barely anyone here speaks it (at least that I know of). But considering their from Canada, it makes a lot more sense.

    If there were a video game...

    I really could see that working in this context. I always pictured a Fraggle Rock game would have you go out and explore the vast caverns of Fraggle Rock. A game that you could get lost in for hours just exploring (something I usually don't like, oddly enough... but it would work perfectly...

    A Documentary All Muppet Fans Should See

    That's why I watch kid's shows most of all. Even some newer ones have subtle in jokes, adult humor, innuendos, literary references, satire...etc. that goes over your head when you're a kid. Most of the people who write kid's cartoons, you all understand, have had to take all these different...

    Seriously Disney, What The Heck?

    Hey, this whole recession thing is a head scratcher. You mean to tell me not a single company had thought of temporarily LOWERING their prices instead of constantly raising them to make up for losing money because no one could afford it to being with. Hey, GENIUSES... if they didn't have money...

    "Where the Wild Things Are" Trailer

    Of course, let's not forget that few movies based on books are actually dead on true to the original. Jurassic Park and The Shining are classic examples. I see the same sweetness of the book in this movie's veins. Not some crass, loud, cheap laughs so the dad that reluctantly had to take...

    Questions about SST Credits

    The of course are referring to a certain frog that pops up in old footage from time to time. Other than him, Big Bird, Oscar, Elmo, etc. all property of SW. Though I swear the credits say "Jim Henson's Muppet Performers"

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    As I said a long time ago about the movie Milk (among others) I am very very wary of these biopics. Remember, a lot of them have to shove in entertainment at moments that don't need them. There are some that are well done, but others that just... well, I want to see a Tina Turner biopic called...

    Questions about SST Credits

    Firstly, I thought the credits still said "Jim Henson's Muppets." Maybe I wasn't paying attention to recent episodes, but I at least remember it saying that last year. Seems they're just listing current performers and writers (I swear I remember seeing a credit saying "Special songs by Joe...

    15 minute PBS educational shows

    All I know is that I really enjoyed them (other than "all About You" that was just dull), I was always waiting for them to be over so Reading Rainbow or Sesame Street or something would come on. Vegetable Soup I really remember... especially the disturbing puppet segments (those things...

    Osamu Tezuka appreciation thread

    Funny thing about Astro Boy.... apparently Osamu created a show that was exactly like it (I forget the name at the top of my head... I wanna say it has the word Mars in it), and it was produced by Toei. Naturally, Osamu wanted it to be a show to be similar to Astro, but majorly different and...

    Muppet Babies Dolls and Toys

    Yeah, but they've been doing solidly well with the TMS stuff to date, even though it's a year off, and they REALLY should have worked on the music rights while S3 was being printed... but the Disney Afternoon gang gets no love. I REALLY hate how they only have The Tick Season 3 in Europe, and...

    Henson-related video games

    Direct to video as in direct to video movie. Originally, there was supposed to be a film called Ghostbusters Hadesbound (due to the censorship on the board, I can't use the real title), and it was to feature all the GB actors reprising their roles in a CGI animated form. It wasn't meant to be...
