    EM.TV Television News

    Thats just another show in production - their quarterly earnings will be way up too, but they are still on the edge of bankruptcy .... massive debt and the problems with the German media could force them down at any time. There are a few court cases that could swing against them coming up as...

    Jim Hill update

    Well if it isn't Disney focused then why is Jim Hill writing it, and why has Jim Hill chosen a time period where you can focus heavily on Disney ? From reading his last article at MC you don't exactly get the impression that he is informed in what has gone on behind the scenes at Henson, more...

    Autograph Question about Frank Oz and Steve Whitmire

    Hi Michael, Yep, right now seems an excellent time to catch him as he is personally signing. I'd go for either of the top two addresses. It looks like the Henson Company are forwarding on mail to him so i would probably ask them for advice about how to send a poster to him, but he does...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    They couldn't come packed in with a Penguin could they ? I'm sure the penguin wouldn't mind ! LOL ! Yeah i think what matters is the actual Kitchen itself and there is tons included there - if the lobsters come later thats a bonus !

    Autograph Question about Frank Oz and Steve Whitmire

    Hey Michael Unfortunately Oz isn't the best signer nowdays - he sends out mostly pre-prints. Sending in a poster could end up getting personally signed, or could get lost/refused all the same. You don't contact Oz via Henson anymore, he has a PO Box or something i think. Try...

    New Muppet Beanies In The UK

    Hey Warrick, Out of memory i think she might have had a pink dress. The tags were 'The Kermit Collection' but had no mention of Igel or Tomy, it was this other wierd German company. Maybe they WERE Igels rebadged, i'm not that familiar. Come to think of it though - that Animal did look...

    New Muppet Beanies In The UK

    Hey Guys, Virgin Megastores in the UK are now carrying some new Muppet plush beany things of the classic Muppets. They have Piggy, Gonzo, Kermit and Animal and they look quite good. Gonzo is in a hawian type shirt, and the others are fairly good likenesses. They are officially licensed...

    Sing the Praise of SMOOCHY!

    It's entirely 100% true. The Bunny was supposed to act sad when something sad happened. After a while they pulled the bunny entirely during major tragedies, this was mainly because some intern kid was in the costume one day when there was a story about a guy walking into a school and...

    Sing the Praise of SMOOCHY!

    Hey Cory, Seeing as it's you - take at look at :- http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lrobbins/newsbunny.jpg That is me - i was one of about five people who have been 'Newsbunny' at some time in their careers. All have gone onto much bigger and better things i might add. He wasn't anything...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    I just wanted to correct what i said earlier about the new UK prices - Virgin Megastores, one of our main chains have got the Muppets in, which is superb news because it means people don't have to search out obscure comic shops. The bad news is that as well as now taking the Muppets they are...

    Laura Bush Drops by `Sesame Street'

    **** - you'd be amazed at the amount of guys with explosives packed to their waist (or what they CLAIM are explosives) who walk into TV station and studios trying to get attention. I've had two so far.

    Sing the Praise of SMOOCHY!

    I was shown a preview of the film about 2 months before it came in the states and the rumor was that Robin himself was sitting in one of the back rows looking at the reactions. Having been a former 'Smoochy' type character myself i thought it was hilarious, but yeah i can dig it being hard for...

    Re: Re: rowlf question for ken Hey Ken, HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!! It was £4.99 - translated into dollars that's $7.74, although there is a buy two, get one free deal going right now which i would have taken up if there were some better characters on the shelves. The regular voice chip...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    All this suit/tux stuff is confusing ! LOL ! Here's a non Palisades related action figure b*tch (they're the ones we like). In the UK they have released a lot of the original Playmates Simpsons action figures (like USA Wave's 1 & 2) but without voice chips. I picked up Moe today, he's...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    I would actually prefer a more modern Gonzo than purple suit or Tux. Now they have the ok to do stuff right across the Muppet genre it'd be nice to see him in his jumper or jacket - maybe even an outfit from one of the movies. Purple suit is ok - but we already have the cannon Gonzo from TMS...
