By golly, that sounds wonderful by redshirt	Sep 7th, 2008 11:23:31 PM
I'm there!
Reminds me of my fav. Family Guy bit. by fiester	Sep 7th, 2008 11:36:11 PM
"Cutting in line in front of Italians": Aye! Oooh! Aye! Ahhhh. Aye! Whatsamatteroyu?
Muppets and Mobsters by vadakinX	Sep 7th, 2008 11:38:44 PM
A lethal, yet surprisingly family friendly combination. I guess the real question is how long will it be before someone gets the idea to do a cgi muppets movie...mark my words, it will happen.
I can't wait to see... by Harold-Sherbort	Sep 7th, 2008 11:38:52 PM
..what Jason Segal does with the muppets. If it's as good as the bit in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, then color me excited...or blackface.
It sounds fucking cute! ^__^ by AndrewWanKenobi	Sep 8th, 2008 01:27:58 AM
Even if it wasn't, it's damn hard to be cynical in regards to the Muppets.
So they are there to off John Denver? by kdoc13	Sep 8th, 2008 01:33:44 AM
Wait, wrong Muppet Christmas special.
Hate to be the Muppet hater but... by codymr	Sep 8th, 2008 02:09:57 AM
The Muppets were so great and innovative when Henson and Oz were calling the shots... Since then the magic is just not the same... "It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie" from a few years back was a real stinker. It makes me sad to be a Muppet hater.
this is "The Next Muppet Movie"? An Xmas flik? by Amy Chasing	Sep 8th, 2008 02:24:03 AM
Bit of a cop-out if you ask me. The original Muppet Movie was charming, innovative and surreal. This just sounds like another "lets teach kids the true meaning of giftmas" schtick that Hollywood seems to think itself the authority on. I'd prefer that Dark Crystal sequel. Well, at least they got Paul Williams doing the music.
Family Guy sucks, fiester by Duke of Hurl	Sep 8th, 2008 03:02:22 AM
oh, and Amy Chasing - it's a stretch to call an NBC holiday special a "flick"...
Uhhh... by TheRealMoriarty	Sep 8th, 2008 03:42:36 AM
... no, AmyChasing. This is not the next Muppet movie that Jason Segal is working on. That's why the article describes it as an NBC television special.
cool, thanks for that guys. Bit of a relief... by Amy Chasing	Sep 8th, 2008 03:55:48 AM
for me and anyone else who doesn't know who's-attached-to-which-projec t.
Or... by VegasRon	Sep 8th, 2008 05:21:48 AM
anyone that can't fucking read.
NBC? by Bouncy X	Sep 8th, 2008 07:00:31 AM
but doesnt disney own em? surprised this isnt airing on ABC since their last tv movies have.
Fine and Dandy... by Helpful Electronic Lab Partner Robot	Sep 8th, 2008 07:11:03 AM
but I still think they should've gave Sirico a Sopranos spin-off, preferably in the form of a sitcom.
hope paulie pimpsmacks the pig by palewook	Sep 8th, 2008 07:22:30 AM
think a few adults will be tuning into this special and watching it some of it.
Wait a minute! by Zarles	Sep 8th, 2008 07:32:19 AM
Jason Segal is doing the next Muppet Movie? Sweet!
Bouncy X by codymr	Sep 8th, 2008 07:58:39 AM
That's a great point... why is this on NBC and not ABC? Anybody know?
RDF media... by emeraldboy	Sep 8th, 2008 08:19:23 AM
Have picked up the rights to Wurzel Gummage and Rentaghost. Yes Wurzel gummage and rentghost are coming back for the 21st century. With the exception of the Sue Nicholls from Corrie. The rest of the cast are dead.
NBC by bibble 3000	Sep 8th, 2008 08:30:14 AM
while i'm not really sure why nbc and not abc, i do know that 'very merry muppet christmas' was on nbc too. memba? [scrubs] had a cameo
ouch VegasRon by Amy Chasing	Sep 8th, 2008 09:38:32 AM
See not all of us live in the States, so I wouldn't have a clue what's on NBC. What I have seen is It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, which I didn't think much of. Which was classed as a movie or a special? I don't know. But thanks for all your help I'm sure you were implying.
what about SNOOP??? by psykomyko	Sep 8th, 2008 10:46:26 AM
So white actors who pretend to be swearing Mafia murderers are fine, but a black rapper who pretends to be a swearing murderer gets cut? Must be the CHRONIC...
The reson why the magic is not there is that.. by emeraldboy	Sep 8th, 2008 12:47:10 PM
His children sold them. After the tragic death of thier father and no other entertainment figures death devastated more me then hensons death as a teenager, they wanted to make more serious fare. Selling the muppets was a huge mistake. but they possibly wanted distance. or something. for the future.
People complain about Rupert Murdoch... by emeraldboy	Sep 8th, 2008 12:50:49 PM
but he at least knows that you never let your children run anything. If things go belly up for pixar. a pixar henson team up?
PAUL WILLIAMS?!?! Win! by halsolo	Sep 8th, 2008 01:33:11 PM
GO MAN GO! I have been WAITING ages for him to pen some new tunes - man doesn't get enough respect! Sold on this one now. Anyone else get teary eyed at the BUGSY MALONE reference in SPACED Season 2?
Zarles. by Harold-Sherbort	Sep 8th, 2008 03:51:13 PM
It was a rumor that turned out to be a fact. It's about time somebody breathed life back into the Muppets. I've never met ANYONE in my lifetime that hated the Muppets. It's the one thing that America has that I'm not ashamed of...besides FREEDOM!!!
Fozie gets his throat cut and his squirting by Itchy	Sep 8th, 2008 07:32:58 PM
flower shoved up his ass. Glorious. Can't wait.
It's not quite a mop, it's not quite a puppet, but man!... by palooka_boy	Sep 8th, 2008 08:39:03 PM
so to answer your question, I dunno
The NBC thing confuses me, too by Chief Joseph	Sep 9th, 2008 12:34:16 AM
Very weird. I think Disney not doing a crossover with Muppets & Mickey is a missed opportunity.
