Hi! I'm Cam from the Seattle area. I'm 32 so that must mean I was about 7 when The Muppet Show came on television and I became a fan.
I've always loved the Muppets, am a huge new fan of this site, and look forward to interacting with some other fans. I love Fraggle Rock and Muppets Tonight, as well as all the Muppet movies. My kids are 7 and 4 now, and they appreciate Muppets very well. My son has loved Grover almost as long as he's been alive. Just tonight I was digging through old boxes in storage and found my Animal puppet (with the eyebrows that you can wiggle and mouth you open) and he won't let go of it! He runs around saying Woman Woman! So I am raising them correctly.
I'd love a new Muppet Show for a new generation. I though Muppets Tonight was brilliant work, and I was just watching the ones I have on tape yesterday. I love Pepe & Seymour, Sal Manilla & Johnny Fiama, and Andy & Randy Pig. They are great additions to the lineup of my favorites of the classic characters. There are too many to list but Lew Zealand, Fozzie, Kermit, Gonzo, Scooter, Link Hogthrob, Dr Teeth, Animal, Beauregarde, and Beaker are likely frontrunners.
I'm real excited about the Palisades figures. I'm hoping there is a new Muppet movie in the works - Muppets in Space was the best one in years! We do get a ton of mileage out of our Muppet Treasure Island DVD though. Fabulous stuff!
