I didn't like Fozzie's voice in MWoO. I know Eric is doing his best, but it sounded kind of like fozzie was a chick

I don't like the lack of Muppets stuff in all fields, but I am a very patient man.

I really can't think of anything I dislike about the Muppets, I guess that's why I love them so much! I guess I'm not too fond of the what Disney is doing with them (or really, the lack of what Disney is doing with them)

Although I am very thankful to have Muppet Show season 1 and Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island in widescreen (even though they should have been originally released that way....)

Well like everyone said there isn't really nothing I don't like about the Muppets. But if I really had to pick somethings...

1) That Jim isn't with us anymore (as others have mentioned)
2) That Richard Hunt isn't with us anymore and therefore putting an end to many great characters until not too long ago, like Scooter, Janice (as far as speaking), Forgetful Jones and so much more.
3) Randy and Andy Pig, although from, as an inspiring puppeteer myself, from a puppet standpoint they (like all Muppets) are great puppets. But from a persona standpoint I just really don't like them. They're just too dumb and not in that loveable way like a Homer Simpson can pull off. They're more like make you want to slap them around dumb, .

So I guess that would be it. Oh and as mention what seems to be a lack of doing anything with the Muppets under Disney. Although I don't really fault Disney too much for that, cause it's not like they're too worried about doing anything with the Muppets, and really why should they be?

I'll tell ya what I don't like...this thread. Not to start any fires, but there's something odd about it. The person started this thread as their very first post and is asking us why we don't like Muppets and the member has not posted anything around MC since. I wonder what the purpose is?

 

[BEAR]

Also, just to point out a few things...I'm not sure that using Disney's ownership is reason to not like the Muppets.

there's nothing I dislike about the muppet characters themselves, but there are a few things about the productions that I haven't liked so much, but you can't please everybody.

Some things you can't change, like we all know that the muppets would be better if Jim Henson, Richard Hunt, Mr. Hooper, David, and a few others who have died were still alive, but those things weren't avoidable and I think that despite those loses the muppets are doing very well.

Bear, no one is saying that they don't like the Muppets, it's just things they people would like to change about the Muppets.

I don't hate the fact the Disney owns the Muppets myself, I just sometimes wish they would do more with them. But as I've stated, I don't really fault them for that, I understand that they probably have a lot of other things to deal with, so it doesn't bum me out too much.

Also about what you were saying about the person that started this thread, I didn't notice that, but I think you're just reading too much into it, .
