    Sesame Street to Introduce HIV-Positive Muppet

    I agree that the whole 'HIV' topic is getting somewhat lesser attention than the 'gay' scenario but i also don't agree that this isn't a valid connected issue. If the Sesame Street producers anywhere in the world are looking at introducing controversial adult topics into childrens television...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Sorry about that - i was aware there had been plenty of discussions about buying that WCW contract out, i guess they were smart enough to figure that it wouldn't be worth much or damage business even if it carried on. It's certainly not a 'nobody but nobody can take it away' situation...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Yeah i totally agree with you. Just thought that they were the kinda scenarios that the ol'Frogboy was concerned about so it was worth pointing out. I'm sure (well i hope) things will turn out ok !

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Ken, From my experiences of these things, this isn't entirely true as far as 'no worries', at least as far as my basic knowledge of things goes. Disney can buy themselves out of any of Henson's merchandising contracts can they not ? I think if memory serves me, WWFE bought out...

    Sesame Street to Introduce HIV-Positive Muppet

    Hey Guys, Why am i getting this sudden vibe that everyone wants to run away and talk about something else when things get a little controversial ? Like it or not, Special Ed isn't alone - there are plenty of people in this world who share the same kind of opinions and not saying they are...

    Anyone interested in obtaining customized Muppet figures?

    Good luck Artie, i hope you get lots of interest because these are above excellence. To DrSweetums - i think $15-$20 or even above that would be cheap, you've got to think that the Palisades figures are getting limited, and some of Arties customs use the 'Exclusives' - also not easy to get...

    Muppet Central Chat Room ?

    Hey Guys, If nobody else (specifically Phil and the moderators) mind - there might be a little temporary solution if you go to http://www.muppetchat.cjb.net You type /nick ?????? to change to whatever username you like. I found you could do this with CJB about a year back and just...

    Sesame Street to Introduce HIV-Positive Muppet

    Hey Byron, I'm not so sure that i would agree that all gay people have not chosen that way of life - not that i'm saying there aren't plenty in the position you describe who have just found themselves having discovered those 'feelings' but i'm sure there are others who may have been...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    It just takes a little common sense really, a poor selling line means no more orders for figures, and thus the end/cancellation of the line. Toy buyers also aren't stupid - if they detected a line was of poor quality they wouldn't bother buying into it in the first place otherwise they'd be...

    Sesame Street to Introduce HIV-Positive Muppet

    Actually, i do to an extent agree with Special Ed, and i also notice that some people are getting very jumpy here that things might not be going along so politically correctly here. While i don't particularly agree with the use of 'sex offenders' or 'gay people' as examples i do get the point...

    Fraggle Rock on DVD - Region 2

    The thing about French DVD's is that even with the english language track, the French will always be the one that plays when you first turn the disc on and change the audio track. Not saying that matters too much but it is a bit more fiddly than English discs.

    Sesame Street to Introduce HIV-Positive Muppet

    Sounds like because the story has broke tabloid media in the states some cunning journo has made his way to the Henson offices for a quote. Poor Steve, having to get into Kermit mode and Henson don't even own Sesame now. I guess he might have got lampooned outside because i doubt the press...

    Fraggle Rock on DVD - Region 2

    Hey Corey We get Bear, as well as Moppatop, as well as Hoobs, as well as other Henson stuff on Nickelodeon and it's offshoot channels. Basically we do better than most other countries Henson-wise. Hoobs actually i now rate more than i ever used to - i spent a week reviewing it for...

    MuppetFest 2?

    It was filmed, but i think people who went were told it was for the archives and not for broadcast - but lots of people hoped that would change.

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Ooooooh good question Gumby - i dunno, the Penguin could well be one of those exploding ones, maybe he's been booked for the new Muppet show and that explains where he got the $30 to join the club. Then again, we could be being decieved here - he might be a sneaky gangster penguin who stole...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Interesting answers people - Matt's answer shows he's cunning yet compassionate, Ken takes a straight down the line no nonsense approach without a thought for his own well being. Very admirable both of you. Y'see it's amazing what kind of psychological profile you can get from asking...

    Ok i am worried and distressed, absolutely NOBODY has asked Ken anything for the last SEVEN hours. Is everything alright in the world outisde ? - i'm kinda getting an 'Omega Man' feeling here ! In order to save the day i will ask Ken a question as follows :- You see a blind Penguin...

    Sesame Street to Introduce HIV-Positive Muppet

    Re: Luke Yup the hospital setting was an entirely seperate issue, that was the whole point. Personally, i'm not afraid of kids learning anything, i'm just realising that at 4 years old a parent should have a lil' something to do with what their kids watch and be in on the discussion. I want...
