One of the best things The Muppets have done in a long time


We all know that after Jim passed away, The Muppets pretty much went down hill. With the terrible movies (Muppets From Space, The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, etc.)to Sesame Street becoming The Elmo Show. It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie wasn't terrible, but there was still something missing. Everything they were doing started becoming unbearable. Until, they aired this little TV special on TBS back in '06 called Puppet Up!. That was when things started to look up. Then there was the announcement of the new Fraggle Rock movie and then this. When I heard about this I prayed that it would be good, and I wasn't dissapointed. It went back to the roots of what The Muppets do best. Good old fashioned fun and corny jokes with funny and sometimes touching songs. Now, Jason Segel is writing the new Muppet movie and he says he going to be true to the original stuff, and make it more like the old Muppets that we all grew up on and love. The Jim Henson Company is finally getting their *beep* together.

We miss you, Jim Henson

what did you think of A Muppet Christmas Carol? I am pretty sure that Jim was not involved in that at all. It is dedicated to his memory if I recall.

That was great.

I thought this "Letters to Santa" was pretty awful. I'd rather re-watch old Muppet things than see this kind of movie get made.

Refrain from slamming "Letters to Santa"! It was great and well-done and you know that!!!
