Did anyone see that new Hannah Montanna episode?

[D'Snowth]

That's what the puppet reminded me of too! I just couldn't think of what it was at the moment.

Well, I guess technically, Disney IS doing SOMETHING with the muppets...

Okay, first off - there are still Mr. Gatti's in the world? I used to love their pizza as a kid!

I hope to see the episode up on YouTube. I was thinking the episode would be tounge-in-cheek rather than a slap in the face to the world of puppetry. Who knows? Either way it's the writers' doing not Milley Cyrus. She likely has little creative control over her program. To me this sounds like a funny idea that was poorly executed somewhere down the line.

Defaming them? It's upsets me that she had a "think of kids show, puppets are for kids" attitude. But it's just a television program.

 

[Redsonga]

It upsets me that shows like hers are thought of as little kids shows nowadays. I think it does not teach anything of much value at all..it sort of has an empty feeling to it...

 

[Ilikemuppets]

I wans not thinking of her show as a little kids one. I'm saying that she was thinking about kids show and how they sometimes have puppets on them = puppets are for kids kind of attitude, heh!

 

[frogboy4]

If I'm not mistaken, Hannah Montana is for kids, not puppets. How can her writers not know that?

Oh, well I was watching this movie where this little eight year old girl was watching Hannah Montana and it just made me sad...Seeing little ones with Brats dolls gives me the same feeling. Just let them be little gosh darn it !

Some puppets are aimed at little kids, but the show should know that that does not mean the love of these characters is limited to little kids . We do not just check in our inner (or outer) child when we are 13

I know its not her fault. Hs ewas just doing what the show's writers wanted her to.

And yes, the puppet was portrayed as being from a "kid show", but I dont think there is anything wrong with a grown adult taking a liking to a puppet.

It makes you really wonder how this specila with the muppets is going to be. Is it once again going to be amed at amusing 6 year olds? is Miley going to have that "why am I talkin gto a puppet?" attitude? It makes you wonder.

She likely has little creative control over her program.

Considering that she doesn't write her own songs and can barely act, I doubt she has creativity at all. Dwhoah Ho Ho Ho!

Anyway, I have about as much desire to watch this as I desire to get eye surgery from the back of a Roach Coach that also serves questionable Breakfast sandwiches.

But it sounds like HM has set out to do what HM was set out to do. Brainwashing kids into growing up faster. Albiet in a clearner, non-slutty way that the Bratz had. But it's still a horrible message.

What the shell is wrong with being young? Childhood is a wonderful time, especially when you're really young. You have such magic characters float through your head like Big Bird, The Cat in the Hat, Bugs Bunny... and the like. And even when you're older you have great fantastic characters like Spider-Man, BatMan, the Ninja Turtles....

I don't see why girls want to grow up so fast anyway? Do they really want to be those morbidly obese housewives with bad haircuts, overuse of costume jewlery and the fashion sense of a circus performer any faster?

RELISH your early years. I'm relishing mine throughout my 20's...
