Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

[MrsPepper]

I'm having a bit of an issue. The videos load fine and play great, nice resolution, not choppy or anything. But the full-screen intros are extremely choppy and sluggish (ex. the Do Not Touch button. The audio is stilted the entire time, the image moves a few frames at a time, and it's impossible to understand. I was thinking that it's just my system, but I don't understand how that could be the case when the videos play fine.

I think a Muppet sketch show would work well - no hosts, no TV studio or theatre setting. Just lots of cool sketches cut together. They are showing just how much they can do with the Muppets, just puppeteering to a CGI background - the writing and puppeteering shows they've been really motivated and come up with loads of cool situations and ideas. I couldn't believe it when i saw they'd brought out Tutu Pepe, and all the Rats. It's just such a great platform for them to reach the kids as well as us old school fans.

Well Jim Henson Hour's Muppet Television first half is my favorite Muppet series of all time, so I think you may be on to something.

Its so cool that for longtime Muppet fans like us, there's something new that can manage to pierce through our cynical veil and get us excited again

It's listed under elevator videos.

The elevator stuff is by far my fav. A 30 minute muppet sketch show could totally work.

 

[dwayne1115]

Cool thanks, and i think your right a 30 mim thing would totoaly be cool. Just the Muppets being what they are.

Man I wish the other Muppet's rooms would open. I really wanna see some more of Gonzo.

 

[MWoO]

I just hope they open eventually, unlike many sections of the old site, but from the looks of it there is a good chance of that seeing as there is already more content on here.

If you all have not stoped by the new Ask Jim Lewis thread, you really should. We have been getting some cool info from Jim about the new site and I just sent some more questions about the site that he may have some great answers to. He sent me a little note saying he feels this is a great short kind of re- start as the way Jim started with Sam and Friends.
