    Billionaire Saban in Talks to Buy Muppet Makers

    Actually it's very serious - i'm sure EMTV might like to keep the Muppets now they are making some money and the promotional and licensing rewards are being reaped but they have big bills to pay and not yet recouping the money they expected from the Henson sale means they have to find the money...

    Ratings info for the NBC Christmas Movie!

    As i've kinda said previous, it's a really good rating, above average and i'm sure it's what they were expecting and they are all happy. What the article doesn't tell you is that Friday night is one of the slowest in that demograph and that on a special Friday night like the one after...

    Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie

    I think they are taking this direction because they feel it's a good chance of them gaining some more popularity and thus more money. As a company they are at a dead end with their backs against the wall - the family targetted stuff hasn't worked enough for them popularity wise, and financially...

    Chritmas Movie DVD release

    In the UK we have a 9pm watershed. Anything considered unsuitable for children before 9pm apart from moderate use of very mild swearing (with a vocal warning before a show starts) between 8 and 9 is banned. The 9pm watershed isn't a free pass to have naked women gyrating across the screen at...

    Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie

    Personally i'd love them to try and crack the kids market again because Jim was very committed to that but professionally, i'd say it wouldn't be worth them targetting kids right now in the USA ... the market has slipped too far away from them so they'd have to do an incredible amount of work...

    Your Thoughts: It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas

    Re: Luke Hey Jamie, Yeah i didn't misunderstand you - i was also posting specifically about the viewing figures but looking back didn't point that out specifically ! (oops). I haven't seen the entire movie yet to comment on the quality of the movie but yeah my comment on the ratings...

    Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie

    Hey Jess, I also can't see it from your point of view (although having the IM at hand kinda comes close to having a kid - the amount of screaming she does) although i've gone through countless legal courses about what can and can't be picked up on by kids during prime time TV but it's no...

    Your Thoughts: It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas

    Re: Hey, I want a glow stick! It doesn't kick serious butt, but it's above average and i think as well as could have been expected - it's certainly not a major dissapointment at all. As for whether it's enough to mean that more Muppet holiday movies will be produced, i'd say that the...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Wouldn't Palisades look a bit wierd doing Christmas characters throughout 2004 though ??? LOL ! If they can get the TV movie rights for free i'd be all for some kind of Xmas two pack for next Christmas, not much more than that though as right now everyones raving about the movie but by mid...

    Your Thoughts: It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas

    Lots of people are saying stuff about the Theatre and they thought it was cool so would like to see it again. If you remember 8-10 months or so back a rumor was posted on the new Fox show (by yours truly) that the Todd's would be using a Muppet Theatre as the main set - well it seems that this...

    Your Thoughts: It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas

    Thats a cool and well written review Phillip, glad you liked it when you saw it - it really seems to be a step nearer getting things back to where they should be again. I see you are also aware that the Theatre set could become awfully familar next year !! :D

    Muppets Arrive At UK McDonalds !

    Re: Luke, Nah all the fun is in the eating - the Swedish Chef tasted particularly fluffy ...... oh you mean the hamburgers right ? Yeah, it's handy that i could buy them and not have to risk death twice a week eating there. :D I didn't know about there being a different box each week...
