My feelings are rather mixed on this. Of course, I don't want Disney t3o ever remove this masterpiece. It's Jim Henson's final project! And there's no other way to go see it. And the Animation Courtyard is sitting empty behind MV3D, so Disney could have put the new stuff there. Also, it's not...

Sorry I'm a day late on this. Hope it was a good one! I hope some folks here can show some love to the founder of this site. :)

Oh, wow. This is the first I've heard of it. I met Mar (and her husband Michael) at Muppet Fest many years ago. Very sweet (both of them). My condolences to Michael and others who knew Mar.

Many happy returns to the founder of this site. Sorry I'm a few days late on posting this. Blessings to you and Cindy!

I think this was a choice for the best, but not for the reasons that most reporters are saying. I think Chapek had actually been too politically aggressive, attacking the values that many Disney audiences hold. The company paid the price; despite owning a literal 2/3 of the entertainment...

Hard to believe it's been 3 decades since MCC's release. Just in time for that, of course, D+ released a version in 4K and with "When Love is Gone" restored to the movie in widescreen! I can understand those who didn't see the song in the theater feeling like it stands out like it doesn't...

Apologies - I didn't see your post until just now. Hope your birthday was a great one!

It was actually something of a surprise when I learned this, as I hadn't realized he was still so actively involved. The 2010s theatrical movies and the 2015 "Muppets" TV series didn't seem to feature any contributions from him at all. I guess it just goes to show how much uncredited writing...

Sorry I'm a few days late on this, but happy to Phillip Chapman, the founder of the site! Hope it was a great one.

What a fantastic time that was! Seeing the Muppet performers in person; watching them perform their iconic characters on stage; hearing them ad-lib hilarious answers to fans' questions in character; and wrapping up the whole thing with a 2-hour live show on the final night -- the whole thing was...

Hope your birthday was a most sensational, Muppetational one, Phillip!

Wow, a lot of great replies! Thanks, everyone. (Sorry I didn't jump in earlier. I always forget that email notifications for this forum go to an old email address, so I don't see them.) Muppet Master: I agree that the show was far from perfect, but there were a lot of wonderful moments and...

I'm a bit late in posting this, but it occurred to me that we've fairly recently passed the 25th anniversary of "Muppets Tonight" (Mar. 8 was the date). I thought the show was rather hit-or-miss at the time, and I never got around to seeing all the episodes. But I've been watching them with a...

Other thoughts... I wonder what order they'll go in? Most likely in production order like the box sets, but even that's imperfect, considering that Kermit says "we've got another great show for you" in the Juliet Prowse episode, making viewers feel like they've missed something. Plus, Scooter's...

Even though I'm generally a fan of physical media myself, I had given up all hope of getting Seasons 4 and 5 in any fashion. I honestly thought Disney had locked the door and thrown away the key. Now, for $7.99 a month, I can watch TMS in addition to a ton of other stuff I already watch anyway...

I never thought in a million years that this announcement would happen! So excited!!! :) :) :)

For some reason, I didn't get an email notification about the responses, so I didn't see them until now. Thanks for your thoughts, DMH Fan and Jobi71! At any rate, we have great, unexpected news today: Disney+ will have all five seasons of TMS starting next month! :smile::smile::smile: I had no...

Woo-hoo!! This is FANTASTIC news. I've always loved the song, and I was bummed that I could never see it in widescreen form. But that day is finally coming! :) It sounds like Brian isn't sure when the 4K transfer will be complete, so we might not get it until next Christmas, but he did...

Hey, folks--Here’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while now. I’m glad that Disney+ has as much Muppet content as it does, but considering the franchise’s vast library, I do wish there was more. As far as the new content goes, I appreciated the attempt with Muppets Now, even though it...

Great idea for a thread! Considering the frequent appearances by Ray Charles with the Muppets, it's a bit surprising he didn't have his own TMS episode. Mel Brooks even appeared in TMM, but not as a guest. Robin Williams wasn't able to appear on TMS as originally planned, but his zany humor...
