I'm so excited. I love the Muppets!

More Muppets! More Muppets! Both DH and I are under 30 and we love the muppets. We want to see more movies or even a tv show again.

They are coming back! Yeah! Wacka Wacka!

 

[WaltD4Me]

Yea! I love the Muppets too. I hope they update the movie at DHS, it's time for a rehab of that. And I'd love to see the Muppet show come back. I always thought Jim Henson was right in the same league with Walt Disney and it's great to see his creations getting some attention.

LOVE the Muppets! It's great to see that they are getting the comeback that they deserve.

Woo-hoo - more Muppets! Greetings to the PodCast board - the Muppets post brought me in here. My DD will be psyched - she's been watching Muppets Season 1 on DVD for nearly a year (we've gotta get seasons 2 & 3) - she can sing the Lydia the Tattooed Lady song by heart. It doesn't hurt that Kermit is my all-time favorite frog. Not all kids & tweens are clueless (she'd take the Muppets over Hannah Montana ANY day!).

Yay Muppets!

I love the Muppets too. I remember the original Muppet show and my favorite Saturday morning cartoon when I was growing up was Muppet Babies. I was talking with some of my friends a little while ago and we had the idea of doing a Once Upon A Christmas 3 (or, I guess, Thrice upon a Christmas) where the Muppets and Fab 5 get together for a couple of shorts. Anything they do with the franchise is good with me.

YEAH! I am always disappointed by the lack of Muppet merchandise at DHS. I wish they would expand their offerings. I have one Kermit shirt and that's it! Bring on more!!!!

 

[tinkbutt]

YAY MUPPETS!!!!

My daughter is the same way. She is almost 9. Anytime she meets someone named Jack, she will lower her voice and say "Jack not name, Jack job". We all crack up but no one else gets it! We love the Muppets!!

HOORAY! HUGE muppet fan - I forced by bf's son (9) to watch the Elton John episode of the Muppet show and he had never seen it before! Sacriledge!

My kids love the Muppets. I have the 3 season that are on DVD. My 2 year old sings along to all the songs. He loves Chef and Pigs in Spaaaaace. My almost 7 year old has loved them since she was 2. We watched the Studio DC thing that was just on. She keeps hoping for more muppets.

Speaking of the Muppets, Screamscape is reporting that Jim Henson's name is being removed from the balloon and the logo on front of the Muppet-Vision 3D theater...anyone know anything? Is it just rehab maintenance, or is something else up?

(grew up with Kermit, Big Bird and the rest...)

 

[jbucci]

I absolutely love the Muppets and all things Henson for that matter

I'm really psyched Disney will be using the characters again. I'm such a big fan I've even named my dog Muppet-- BTW she is a wonderful 9year old lab who is at this moment sleeping on my foot

 

[bluechic03]

OMG I LOVEEE THE MUPPETS!!! I have all the muppet movies, but my favorite movie of all time is the muppet christmas special hehe. Even my DH was animal one year for halloween..WOMAN!!

 

[gottalluvmickey]

Thank goodness! I grew up with the Muppets and I feel there is not a better TV show. Now, if only, Disney could release the soundtrak from the original Muppet Movie! Now that brings back memories

 

[luna99]

another muppet fan here.. lots of childhood memories watching the original show.. and I'm 32. I plan on raising my kids with anything having to do with the muppets..

in my eyes, the more muppets the better!
