    Any news on the New Muppet Show?

    I suggest clicking on one of the links in the first post of this thread If it doesn't work, something is wrong.

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    Let me just try to sort this all out. I can agree with Craig on some level. I don't think the "Disney doesn't know what to do with the Muppets" isn't so much a "what" as a "How". The reaction to OZ was a giant step in the bad direction, due in part to the total rush job the film was. Since...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Exactly what it is. But when I saw it, I thought the opening meant that it had something to do with "Cold." I think a woman's monotone voice gave that description. I recall the title card very well, too. it had a cartoon drawing of Big Bird on it, and lots of plain text.

    Those stupid CGI talking-animal movies...

    Even if it was something similar to the "Don't Forget to watch the movie" or "History of film" Sesame Segments that the put on reals of kid's films at certain theater chains. Something that's used as the "Don't talk during the movie/buy overpriced popcorn now" announcements. Another reason...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    I'm most nervous about those factors as well. I dreaded the thought of the Muppets engaging with forced banter between Disney's no talent robotic pop stars. Though I wouldn't mind Raven. At least she has acting experiance. What's more, she has Muppet experiance. After all, she was in...

    The Other babies

    Those are more likely clones of the Fox series "Bobby's World." The Howie Mandel cartoon series, where the main character's voice was recycled from Baby Skeeter. Though, I don't remember if Rosanne's came out first.

    Any news on the New Muppet Show?

    I love the unbridaled optimism that keeps this thread up. The Muppets will have another TV show at some point, I agree. But ever since the 2001 pitch pilot tape, they've had nothing but false starts and walked on pseudopods, taking false steps. The Mockumentary had potential, and that's...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    As long as it's not any more Simpsons writers. Just kidding. If they have passion to write for the muppets, and a working knowledge of their chemestry, and can find a great vehicle for them, that'd be great. If 2 years down the road, we're seeing a project called "Muppet Bonfire of the...

    The Other babies

    That's the problem with Scooby Doo. Either they follow a tired formula, or they do something completely different and the fans get upset with it. The formula, as tired as it was, was tried and true, and the key to the success of the show. The times they changed it, things didn't turn out too...

    Muppet Morsels

    I guess it's too late to start wanting to see a booklet inclosed with each volume. I really think something similar to the Sesame Unpaved releases would have been more enjoyable than "Morsels" anyway.

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Magic

    There is a thread somewhere, it's pretty old though. Other than 2 skits they couldn't include due to music rights (ain't dat always da way?) it was everything they ever done for the show (No Santa Switch, though). The quality is as could be expected from old tapes. All and all, it's a...

    Now that this is on DVD, you may expect to see the clip on Youtube sometime in the near future.

    Makes me think they'll have more projects like A is for Asthma or any other pre-existing material.

    Scatman Crothers

    Considering they were about to make a Hong Kong Phooey movie at one point, I'd figure either Frank Welker, or Robert Guillame (sp?- he was the voice of Rafiki, and he starred in the show "Benson"). Robert actually could sound pretty close if he tried.

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    Getting this thread back on topic, an avoiding polarizing views, let me just say what's really missing in TV these days. Wiz Kids. Eggheads, people with vision. And not just the creative team behind a creation, but the people who ran networks. Sleaze rules TV, IMO, not due to the lack of...

    The Other babies

    Before this bcomes a Tom and Jeryy Thread, I will say the new series, Tom and Jerry Tales (especially season 2) really recapture some of the magic of the old shorts. The violence is toned down, sure, but not to a dramatic extent. While not as good as the original cartoons (hard competition...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    I don't know if I said this before, but one time I was watching SS, and they showed the episode's production title card (station Identification, used primarily to identify the episodes, if you're working at a TV station). It creeped me out, indeed. It also mentioned "Cold opening" and There...

    I think they did for a time. At least an anniversary Optimus Prime was made, but it was really expensive.

    So Now There Are Ten Deadly Sins

    I'm going to kinda agree with Frogboy on this one. I have problems with organized religions, myself. The Catholic Church I can respect, dispite not being Catholic. I do not agree with quite a bit of what it says (which I won't get into), but I can respect what they're talking about. I'm not...
