Count me in...I still think this should be along the lines of an actual production
of Hamlet done by the Muppets in the Muppet Theater, with things going wrong
left and right.  Anybody else?

I am another member of the Elmo fan club, and I thought his appearance on 
The Frugal Gourmet was classic!!!  I loved his little apron!

The Muppet Christmas Carol was a lot of fun, but the @#$%^&*( projector in
the sucky theater I saw it in burped, so we missed about 5 minutes of it
(where the rats dress in hula skirts  :(  ). My mom and I both enjoyed it!

I am an avid D&D player ( no flames allowed) , and one of my characters 
talks to rats (speaks their language).  The "Light the lamp, not the rat!
Light the lamp, not the rat!!" lines were my favorite!!!!!!!!!

I only wish I had cable to get whatever they show on Nick. Sigh, that's what
happens when you live in the middle of nowhere.

All this debate about children speaking like the muppets is not new.  I have 
been working in a nursery schools for three years and have heard all sorts 
of incorrect grammer usage. Don't panic.  One muppet speaking only in third 
person or not saying I does not prohibit children from learning proper usage.
In fact it is not uncommon for children to speak in this manner even if they 
so unfortunate as to have never seen the mupptes.  So leave the monsters 
alone. After all, most of them are children themselves, isn't that why we love them?

	Sadly, there is not. The rights are now owned by Disney (money-grubbing

show. Considering what they've done to Sesame Street, it makes my skin
crawl to think of what the new Muppet Show would be like. (I do like the new
things on Sesame Street, but I think that they would be inappropriate and
cloying on an adult-oriented show like the Muppets.)
	Just to add my deux centimes to the Elmo debate...well, I'm not crazy

	I HATE the new themesong. What was wrong with the old one? I was born
in '74, and memories of "classic" Sesame Street are possibly the most
reassuring memories of my childhood. I like some of the new characters, and
most of the new skits, but I miss the old themesong. I think it captured the
spirit of the show better.
	Now that I've got that off my chest, am I the only one who thinks that
the Sesame Street writers' musical staff are incredible? Good parodies,
hummable melodies (I taught first through eighth graders during Christmas
break, and most of the kids under eight were often to be found humming
something from SS) and interesting musical instrument uses. (I still have
the tape with Oscar's kitchen-music song, the one with the water glasses,
etc. I played it for my second-graders, and none of them were old enough to
remember it, but they loved it.)

My biggest concern with the release of the Muppet Movie on video is that it
might mean I'll have to revise my favorite wedding song standby.

I sing at weddings, and for years I've been doing "Never Before and Never
Again" (the song Miss Piggy sings when she first sees Kermit at the county
fair).  Nobody recognizes it as being from the movie, and everybody thinks
it's just a beautiful love song.  Sobbing mother-of-the-brides seem to like
it best.

When anyone ever asked where it came from, I always answered, "oh, it's a
Paul Williams tune."

I wonder how many of those brides would appreciate knowing I was singing a
pig song at their weddings.  Well, they might come to that slow realization
if they go out and buy the video for the kids I'm sure some of them have now!

I was recently talking to my boyfriend (who is the true muppet fanatic in our
relationship) the other night. (He's so fanatical, he name his DECstation 
"Fozzy" and his Amiga "Gonzo") 

Anyway, he said that Disney had tried to buy Jim Henson's muppets, etc., 
(He said that he thinks this was while Jim was still alive, and I agree.)
and Jim Henson replied with something like "the muppets are for the children.
I will never sell them." And so, I didn't think that Disney would ever have 
them. 
Is this really true??
Does Disney really own them??
If so, who let this happen??

I have read that the soundtracks to "The Muppet Movie" and "The Great
Muppet Caper" will be reissued on the same day as the movies (the 29th,
this Friday), not the 26th.  Not that I will complain if it happens
earlier...

I also read, in the same article, that the free watches will be
shrinkwrapped in the same packages as the videos.  Actually, the article
was only talking about "Great Muppet Caper," but one assumes it'll be the
same for both of them.  The article was pointing out that the "GMC" ($25)
price will be higher than it was when it was originally offered by CBS/Fox
Video ($19) years ago.  The company distributing the videos said that the
new price included higher promotional costs, and the video had "added
value" with the watch being included.

Uh, guys, Henson did sell the Muppets to Disney.  That's why MCC is a Disney 
film, and the muppets can be seen at Disney World.  

Henson wanted Disney to own the Muppets.  He felt it was a way to ensure that
they would surrvive for all time.  He was to retain creative control, but 
sadly, this was not to be.  His son now controls the muppet's destiny.  Disney
bank-rolls 'em by JHP is the muppet-boss.

It is disney that is releasing The Jim Henson Video Line.

One group of muppets were'nt included in the deal.  It might have been the 
Seaseme Street group.
