I love the Muppets! :D

I only watch The Muppet Show and the three Muppet movies from around that time (Muppet Movie, Great Muppet Caper, and Muppets Take Manhattan), but that's enough for me.

My favorite Muppet is Janice, but I really do like all of them.
 
Aw me too, and he is such a cute little froggie too. I always tear up with Scrooge movies when he starts to become good.
 
Aww, been a long time since I saw that. The Little Timmy story is so sad though. I always cry!
 
I finally got The Muppets Take Manhattan from Amazon. I still love that movie after all these years. :D

Piggy cracks me up. :lol:
 
Those 2 old guys are called Waldorf and Statler.
Right now I'm checking out www.Henson.com and I seem to be downloading Muppet babies. So for who's interested, go check it out.

I also used to love the Fraggles and those 3 giants, appearantly they're Henson material as well.
 
The Muppets rule! They are definitely one of my top 10 fav things of all time!

My favorite movie is the original The Muppet Movie, especially the songs "Movin' Right Along" and "The Rainbow Connection".
My fav characters are Rizzo and Pepe ( I love his voice!)
 
Hey hey...

I want to keep the muppets on the first page...
I saw Muppets From Space yesterday in a store yesterday for 15 euros... Man, that is cheap... Most of the time they are about 30 euros...
I think we have to show more movies on tv, then they might all come out on dvd and then they will be mine soon... I will rule the muppetimperium... :d
 
I agree about the voice of Kermit.

I loved The Muppets Take Manhattan & used to watch it all the time. I don't have the dvd though. I haven't seen it anywhere. But I am not ashamed to admit that if I had it I would probably watch it all the time.

Anyone remember The Jim Henson show that came on tv years ago? I have old episodes on tape somewhere... the one I especially remember is The Man Who Cheated Death. I remember thinking it was neat but creepy at the same time. He didn't want to die, but then finally he got sick of living but he still couldn't die...
 
"You hired this crew?"
"No, Mr Bimbol did."
"Who's Mr Bimbol?"
"The man who lives inside my finger!"

Fozzie rocks my world. He is the best muppet! I love him! And I also love those old men who pay them out, that sit up in that thing, I forget their names. I used to love the song to the Muppet Babies. God, that was a while back! Wish I could get them on DVD, does anyone know if the Babies are on DVD?
 
I love the Muppets! They're one of my all time favorite things ever.

My favorite movies are the Muppet Movie and Muppet Christmas Carol.

I so wish they'd bring back the TV show. I've been tempted to buy the collection with the old shows, but there seem to be several and I don't have that much money.

My favorite muppet would definately have to be the Swedish Chef! Bork bork bork!
biggrin.gif
I absolutely love him! Of course I also love Kermit, and Statler and Waldorf.

Back when I was a kid, I used to be addicted to Fraggle Rock. I would watch it every day. Now I'm addicted to the Muppet Show, and I want the tapes of them SO bad.
 
I never really watched The Muppets when I was little

I've seen the best of The Muppets with Michelle and it was really very funny...

Here's a picture

Hi,

I just went to check out www.Henson.com, but a better website is www.muppets.com and then you choose www.muppets.com or www.muppetworld.com... Pretty interesting !! And you can see little pieces of the series and stuff... it is so cute !!
You can read jokes and write them too...
smile.gif

But the only dvd's they sell are in the usa and I am not...
cry.gif

Someday I will have more !!
 
I grew up with the original Muppets when they were on TV (mid '70s) all the way up until now and followed their various movies and incarnations (aka TV Specials).

I think the quintessential Muppet Movie is Muppets Take Manhattan as that was supposed to be THE last official muppet movie and the fact that Jim Henson (Muppet creator) died shortly after (in the '80s) kind of solidifies that point of view in my mind.

I think his son, Brian, has done a great job with the franchise, but he can never live up to his father's reputation -- Especially, in terms of being the voice of Kermit the Frog himself. Brian just doesn't "sound right" as much as he tries... But then again, I grew up with Jim, so what else do you expect me to say?

What's funny is that the Muppets have now gone in a totally new direction with Comedy Central's "Crank Yankers" which I never would have thought in a million years they'd be doing crude (but funny) bathroom type humor, but times change... Sometimes not for the better

Hey Michelle!
Maybe you can try www.Henson.com there's some stuff on it. I think I was downloading Muppet babies stuff and I couldn't watch it 'cause I had to install something so I installed, now the problem is: I don't seem to be able to find it....
look.gif
 
Muppets rule!!!!
I have "It's a very merry Muppet Christmas movie" on DVD, it's not as good as the other Muppet movies, but it's ok. I'm still hoping Michelle will lend me her Muppet movies somewhere in the future...*hint hint*
wink.gif

I like animal, Kermie, Gonzo and Fuzzy Bear is soooo cute. Those two old guys are also superb.
Nice thread Mich.
