    The "Next Muppet on Family Guy" thread

    I heard about this from a friend who heard the joke on the radio (promo for the episode). Personally, I would have loved to have seen it go down like this.. Brain: Where getting sent to Iraq?!? Stewie: (annoyed) Who wants to bet we're going to wind up in Fraggle Rock? Then of course...

    Next Muppet Movie

    Heh! Didn't you once complain about Kojack in TMM? :halo: Actually, I kinda liked Hulk Hogan being in MFS. It was kinda funny, and this dude's been around since the 80's. Hulk even has his own Geroge Forman Knockoff grill infomercial. Of all the countless infomercials they play on TV...

    Little Jerry missing from the DVD box set

    I'll agree with Big Bird Fan on this one. Sure, they SHOULD have put Little Jerry stuff on that set, but maybe it slipped their minds. Or, like the Jim Henson tribute that was to have been put on the TMS box set Vol 1 was moved to Vol 2 because they didn't have enough room for it. I mean...

    What year did it all change for the worst?

    Actually, I wouldn't say too much the fact Henson died, as the fact most of the people who shaped SS died pretty soon with in the time frame of each other. Joe Raposo and Jim died within months of each other. In fact, a Joe Raposo tribute aired with a second "in memory of," Jim Henson. Then...

    "What you think about Disney" Thread

    Being an animator, I've heard so much Dirty laundry on Walt DIsney, I could open a laundromat. The dude had problems. And not even that "Anti-Semite" thing, which I still don't know if I truely believe all the way. Personally, he took credit for creating Mickey Mouse, and it was Ub Iwerks...

    Worst TMS guest stars

    Hey dude. I'm with yah. It's not just a Mark Hamil Episode... I mean, George Lucas and Jim Henson had a great relationship. C-3PO and R2D2 on Sesame Street... Various Star Wars clips in Muppet Babies... even Piggy and Beau riding the Star Tours ride in Muppets at WDW. Mark was grating at...

    2007 "Hairspray" Movie?!

    Personally, me rampant dislike of Travolta notwithstanding, I don't think he could pull it off as well as those two. I mean, Harvey.. well... not saying anything controversial, but he enjoys his effeminant mannerisms, and exploits them beautifully. Eric is good too.... but Travolta? That also...

    Barack Obama

    I hope he runs, but only if its indefinate that he will win. I hope the same nefarious forces of racism that probably hampered Jesse Jackson's run don't foil him. I mean, I'm GLAD to see a rising star of the Democratic party. I'm not a fan of any side, by any means, but if anyone can help...

    MSNBC: Old School Sesame DVD's not for kids

    As I've stated, the reason is that, while there are many people out there that know what SS is about, most first time parents just throw their pre-toddlers in front of the TV, and complain if they don't sit mezmerized for an hour. I mean... babies and toddlers run around a lot. They aren't...

    Dixie Chicks Shut Up And Sing

    Actually, I'm registered as an Independant. ANd a lot of people only voted Democrat cuz they wanted to get Bush out of office, and that was their only viable choice. I feel the 2 party system wound up corrupting itself. And you're right. there are democrats do talk like that, but the fact...

    MSNBC: Old School Sesame DVD's not for kids

    I just had a revelation... maybe that'swhy they say it's not for kids. So some first time parent doesn't buy the set to sit their kids down in front of, so they can complain their 5 month old isn't interrested. Maybe the warning isn't: This isn't appropriate for kids. maybe it's : This...

    MSNBC: Old School Sesame DVD's not for kids

    I know first time parenting has its foibles and mishaps... but a one year old not being interrested in TV may be a good thing. I can't wait for the Baby Einstien generation to grow up being extreemly stupid and fat and lazy to prove the wannabe parents of overachievers wrong. I mean, a one...

    What bothers me about Disney's ownership

    I agree. They haven't really done much for Muppets except for some spotty merchandise and a couple DVD's. I know Pooh is much more popular, but Baby Pooh is rediculous. Not just on a concept, but Pooh is big with babies and toddlers as it is. Why not just have the same Pooh stuff? I mean, a...

    MSNBC: Old School Sesame DVD's not for kids

    Society is screwed up more because of these activists. I mean, one kid in the middle of nowhere in a trailer park sets his house on fire because they saw Bevis and Butthead do it. Now all the sudden, the large sweep of "Blame everyone but ourselves" ensues. Now look at the health food craze...

    What year did it all change for the worst?

    The 2002 format was the worst change as far as the show is concerned. I hate the opinion (though those are welcomed to it) that the show changed terribly in the 80's. I feel that's when the show really shince. Elmo was a smaller character, we still had Kermit in new segments, we had a lot...

    Dixie Chicks Shut Up And Sing

    Exactly. but the funny thing is, rightwing pundants like Ann Couilter can say absolutely reprehensable things, likening anyone with a different opinion as the one she's paid to give as "Nazis." I find that both insulting and ignorant. And if a Democratic person said the same things, they'd be...

    In Development: Henson's Fraggle Rock Movie

    My opinion? Things on SS would be noticably WORSE is Dis owned SS. I'm talkin' more Elmo under a cheaper puppeteer and some tie-in to Baby Einstein. HAs anyone actually seen some of it? The puppets look like freaking oven mitts with eyes sloppily glues on.

    Scooby Doo and Sesame Street

    I'm glad someone else thinks that. I don't want to be crazy, saying that dorky girls that dress up like cartoon characters are hot. Then again, I thought Rene Russo was HOT as Natasha Fatale.

    Dixie Chicks Shut Up And Sing

    It's funny... y'see... so often, people lump celebrities as being democrats, but there are both on each side. The Dixie Chicks saying something bad about the president is no different from another Country musician telling people to vote for Bush or something during their concert. This is...

    The Electric Company Reunion Show - 10/29

    My PBS stations have a horrible time airing new specials, especially during pledge month, when they do nothing but run the same specials over and over. They are: Reba McIntire and Alec Baldwin massacre South Passific Andre Reu minces around and slaughters classical music Rich Dad and...
