Books like that always have a few odd factual errors here and there. I don't know why they do, but they do. no matter how hard you research it. But if you can find a copy, second hand, in good condition, check it out. I loved my copy so much, I wore it out reading it cover to cover.

First off, anyone notice most of the list at some point is Star Trek films? You'd think they'd combine them all, and not have multiple entries... but that's just me. Anyway, at LEAST Muppet Movie is in the top 10. Though, I fail to call it a TV adaption. They're taking characters out of a...

I'm sorry, but didn't they already have that spot back in 96 or so, and it got clobbered by 60 minutes (the same thing that foiled Pinky and the Brain and Freakazoid's prime time run)? And I agree. How long until the steam runs out on AFV? You'd think with Youtube, that the market for...

Strange... We haven't heard too much else about SS this year outside of a couple guest stars and a new cast member. We usually get a lot more, right down to new segment information.

Personally, I think they spend a lot of that time and care into clearing all the song rights to make darn well sure the sets are uncut. I'd rather have bare bones DVD's of the series with everything in tact than all the special features in the world, and episodes heavily edited. But it's a...

The one thing I'm hoping for is that they can get the original cast back as best as they can. I'm talking Cree Summer as Penny, and Frank as Claw, Brain, and MadCat. And of course, Townsend Coleman. not as Corporal Capeman, though. As various MAD agents. They use a Canadian vocal cast...

Heh... All the Wal*Marts around me (and I use the term around loosely) are all the way out on various highways, and I can only go there with someone, if I can get a ride. So, basically I visit Wal*mart once or twice a year or so. Target? I can get to at least 2 by bus, and and additional 2...

I doubt there'd be any problems with Rainbow Connection. If a Muppet franchise owner cannot clear the rights to a signature song like that (unless they own it now), then you know something's up. Plus, if it were another song that was a copyright problem and they couldn't clear it, they could...

ALl the songs were original. unless someone at Henson or Disney or some outside source wrote and copyrighted the music, that's not the issue. Seems to me, we haven't had any specials even considered. The Valenties show and the Sex and Violence stuff were only included, as they were pilots...

Know what's weird? This isn't the only kid's book version of a movie that had shots of a deleted scene. I've heard tell the Muppet Movie book had a shot of Statler and Waldorf at the El Sleazo Cafe that was cut from the final product. I even have a George of the Jungle kid's book that has...

I blame Toei for beating Disney to the punch in making a PIB movie. Mainly because it's extrmemly rare outside of Japan. I meant to get the US released DVD, but could never afford it, and now it's impossible to find, and clearly Scalpers on amazon will charge a fortune for it. But I knew...

Or, more precisely, a way to grow the plants artificially. if they can just find some agricultural scientists to work on someway to get them to grow in a different climate, then we can still preserve them. They aren't going to let something like Bananas slip by. It's a very big fruit. Too...

That said, I'm pretty much the only person I have known that HASN'T heard of Puss in Boots outside of the Toei animated Japanese movie and the Fractured Fairy Tales segments... and of course, Antonio Banderes's Puss in Boots in Shrek. I just recently read the story. Weird, Huh?

They probably negotiated the rights to the song. much like the Muppet show DVD's, they have to negotiate the songs first, and when they can't, they cut a scene or redub it.

The beauty of the Muppet movies (including Follow that Bird and to some extent Elmo in Goruchland) is that they look just that. Like movies. The only ones that looked like a TV show were the TV films... KSY, VMX, and especially OZ. I have no doubt that when they script this, they imagine big...

Oh yeah.... A Sesame Sitcom. Something like the Muppet Show with Sesame Characters. I'd love to see that as well. Maybe they could even use the older characters (as long as they've been recast) in skits for the older fan's sake.

Of course it was. I mean, frankly, I'll listen to Chipmunks version of music I wouldn't want to hear the original of. That is their appeal, which goes far beyond "they're singing with funny voices." Of course, said music owners still expect to be paid, long after the decision was made to...

If you check out the second thread "Weinstine rolls out with Fraggle Film" you'll see he really WASN'T behind the finished script. he's actually credited (and still is) for the main treatment of the film... the basic storyline. The second writer is basically there to fill in the dialogue and...

Captain hook is the best part. And I think that Hans Conried was the BEST Hook there was.
