There may have been bigger Muppet news this past week (and, indeed, over the last few weeks), but outside the confirmation that Jason Segel will also star in the upcoming Muppet movie (as was assumed for some time) this is the coolest Muppet News Flash in recent memory. Check out one Muppet fan’s tribute to [...]

Muppet Monday Movie Thought
Since we covered the big Muppet movie(s) news last Friday, for this Muppet Monday post I just have a brief thought/question about the Muppet-verse going forward. In Muppets From Space Gonzo learns that he is not a weirdo or a whatever but an alien. However, I never really considered this official canon (not that the [...]

Muppet Monday Tuesday: Beaker Epic Fail, Muppet Viral Victory
The Muppets are proving themselves to be the Leonardo da Vinci of modern media, moving effortlessly between movies, TV, community service, comics and cultural relativism*. Dudes are just hitting it from all angles right now. They’re like Miley Cyrus times four, with actual talent and vast more human emotion and independent thought. Sure, they’ve always [...]

Muppet Movie Monday Tuesday: The Muppets Inch Closer to the Judd Apatow Chart, Ball’s In Your Court, James Bobin
Very delayed but very exciting Muppet news: while most of our Muppet Monday posts have focused on the recent rise of Muppet visibility in Disneyland and on TV, as well as a few classic clips, we finally have some Muppet movie news! Vulture reports that Flight of the Conchords co-creator James Bobin has been offered [...]

Muppet Monday: Take Me Down to ‘Dog City’
A couple weeks ago I decided to check out the Paley Center here in LA (formerly known as the Museum of TV & Radio). I assumed it would be basically the same as its NY brother (and my assumption proved mostly correct, as the West Coast branch actually has a little less to offer), but [...]

Muppet Monday: If You Thought the Muppets Were Only Going to Dominate the Web, TV and Volunteerism in 2010 Then You Were Wrong. Dead Wrong.
They’re taking on the comic book world as well. I had a long, busy day so I’m just getting to the Muppet Monday post now. In lieu of this, and for the sake of brevity, I’m going to paste an email from Jump the Snark BFF Steve Ponzo: Maybe a future Muppet Monday for you… [...]

Muppet Monday: VoluntEar Video and Peoples is Peoples
Only two Mondays into 2010 and things are already shaping up for the Muppets in the new decade. When we decided to institute Muppet Mondays we feared that we wouldn’t have enough material each week, or at least enough relevant material. But with Disney making the Muppets the face of their new volunteerism initiative, it [...]

Muppet Monday: How the Muppets Are Already Improving Your 2010 (And Why Even Disney Knows That Kermit is Superior to Mickey)
We’ve well-documented how the Muppets are just dominating the end of 2009. However, will it continue in 2010? Well, that remains to be seen, but they’ve already made it so your 2010 will be a little better. A few months ago Disney announced their “give a day, get a day” promotion, whereby if you volunteer [...]

Muppet Monday: Take That, ‘The Sing-Off!’
The boys of the Beelzebubs aren’t the only ones who are able to make “beautiful” music with just their voices. Nope. Beaker, Animal and Swedish Chef can hold their own, as shown in the new holiday video from Muppets Studios, the “Ringing of the Bells:” Doesn’t that just put you in the holiday spirit? I [...]
