    Any Ernst Fans?

    Actually, those two, like Ernest, got their start in commercials produced by the same people who made the Ernest commercials. And it seems like information is hard to find... Last I checked (which would have been a year or two ago) wikipedia didn't have any pages on the characters, and none of...

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    Yeah, I've noticed that since the last Austin Powers, Mike Myers hasn't done much besides Shrek. I wonder if he's semi-retired or having trouble finding work or what. Makes me wonder how a fourth Austin Powers movie would do at this point... I was a really big fan when the movies were current...

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    Wait, the Grinch was in the original "Horton Hears a Who" special? I don't remember that. Though it is ironic... Both stories involve whoville, the original specials were both produced by MGM (where most of the others were produced by DePatie-Freling and a few by Turner) and directed by Chuck...

    TV Alert: Muppets at the 84th Academy Awards on ABC

    I enjoyed a lot of the non-Muppet stuff, like the "Wizard of Oz test audience" bit and the part where somebody (was it Billy Crystal or someone else?) guesed what people in the audience were thinking based on their facial expressions (too bad Kermit and Piggy weren't included there... Though it...

    Pre-Order: "The Muppets" on Blu-ray and DVD coming March 20

    After watching the bonus feature samples online, I wonder if the Muppet performers will actually appear, or if only the characters will.

    TV Alert: Muppets at the 84th Academy Awards on ABC

    I didn't watch all of it, but I caught Kermit and Miss Piggy's scene and stopped watching after Man or Muppet won. It's a shame Kermit and Miss Piggy didn't do anything during the acceptance speech. And is it me or did it seem it took the slowest amount of time to announce the best song...

    Kermit in the "Picture Book Specials"

    Emmet Otter wasn't a "picture book special" (it also wasn't a "Tales from Muppetland", despite being released on laserdisc as such). Jim Henson came up with the picture book specials idea in 1986, and only two were made. In fact I think the "Picture Book Specials" term may have been dropped by...

    Any Ernst Fans?

    I can't exactly remember if her name was Gertie or Gerta. I can't quite determine if she's a female version of Chuck (though she's clearly smarter... and perhaps crazier), but it is the same Bobby. In that movie the two are science teachers who also act as mad scientists, inventing a machine...

    Any Ernst Fans?

    I agree that that's a good song. Too bad Ernest didn't sing in the others. Though it's interesting that the one big song Ernest got to sing was a serious song as opposed to something silly. But then again, I don't really consider that a musical number... Ernest pretty much just sings to himself...

    This Week in Sesame Street at Sesame Workshop's site

    Here's the latest entry, which concerns Gordon http://www.sesameworkshop.org/our-blog/2012/02/24/this-week-in-sesame-street-gordon-and-african-american-fatherhood/ It even includes a fact that I had never known before: Gordon was named after somebody named Gordon Parks.

    Muppet Classic Theater Revisited

    I'm watching the video right now, and one thing I noticed that seems odd: At the very beginning, when Gonzo introduces The Three Little Pigs, Rizzo seems to make a reaction, but shortly afterward when Gonzo starts narrarating, Rizzo says "Oh, you mean the three little pigs..." So did Rizzo...

    Any Ernst Fans?

    I just watched Ernest Goes to Camp for the first time in years, and while it is still a good movie, I feel I want the Nostalgia Critic to review this. There's a LOT of stuff I could see the NC pick apart. Still, I'll post some of my thoughts and observations: Councilor Stinnis initially gets...

    Pre-Order: "The Muppets" on Blu-ray and DVD coming March 20

    One thing that I hope gets included on the DVD and other releases: An official promo for season 4 of The Muppet Show. Because then that would mean it would definately be coming. Yeah, it's wishful thinking, but it'd be great if it did happen.

    Some thoughts on Muppet Treasure Island

    Hmmm... That may be a point, but I don't think Sam has ever done anything truly villanous (his role as Sherrif of Nottingham in Muppet Robin Hood does not count). He is a bit bossy towards the others, and doesn't seem to have any official authority over them, but that seems to be the extent of...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    Something I thought about: When it's time for Kermit and Miss Piggy to rehearse, Kermit tells Piggy that the audience expects them to do a song together. Would all fans expect them to sing together whenever the Muppets do something? Because GMC and MTI are really the only ones where they sang...

    Some thoughts on Muppet Treasure Island

    I never really saw that. He keeps wanting the Muppets, and perhaps their audience, to be more normal and good, so to him he's doing a good thing. At least in The Muppets he doesn't appear to be unhappy with being with the Muppets again (even if he did get yanked by a hook... But so did Scooter...

    Pre-Order: "The Muppets" on Blu-ray and DVD coming March 20

    I just saw scans from the back covers of the regular DVD and one of the combo packs, and noticed the description begins with "Muppet domination continues with a new movie..." Uh, I thought Disney STARTED it's "Muppet domination" with the movie (okay, it's promotion of the movie). And there...

    Videos: Deleted Scene and Bloopers from "The Muppets" Blu-ray

    Maybe Amazon goofed, but it looks like the regular DVD won't contain ANY bonus features at all. Shameful, Disney. Good deleted scene. I have a feeling this isn't the whole deleted scene, as we don't see Gonzo throw the bowling ball. Since I'd expect both to be part of the same scene, it'd be a...
