      Frank Oz has expressed (not in so many words) that Disney has caused the Muppets to lose their edge, to tame the chaos that they are supposed to be generating at all times. I tend to agree with him, and I would LOVE to see the folks at Disney prove him wrong.
      That said, did you see the "Muppets: Mayhem" series that came out about a year ago? It wasn't perfect, but there was a lot they got right. The singular focus on the Electric Mayhem was inspired IMO.

    Jim Henson and the Muppets have been part of my life since I was very little, I remember seeing my first episode at age 4 and I've been hooked every since. I'm 41 now and I still watch the Muppets and anything else the Henson company creates! When I learned that they weren't in fact living things but puppets, the illusion wasn't destroyed, it was changed into a deep admiration for those that can make foam and felt feel so real! I was devastated when Jim passed, it was like losing a member of my family, but I am so happy that his legacy has lived on through his children and all those that worked with him and is going into the future with people that still think his vision has merit. Sure, there have been some flops and controversies over the years, but what company hasn't had setbacks? The fact they bounce back and continue to be inspirations is what matters! He set out to entertain, educate and foster hope, all of which we need more of nowadays.

    Whether Miss Piggy wants to admit it or not, happy 50th anniversary to her! The Muppets wouldn't be the same without her. After all, she's the one who does a lot of the fighting, especially in the first three movies. Mad scientists, cat burglars, and purse snatchers are no match for her!
    Of course, Miss Piggy is right when she says that the best is yet to come. Recently, Kermit was added to the Disney Speedstorm game as a mid-season racer for the Wreck-it Ralph Season. Miss Piggy herself is planned to be the mid-season racer for the next season, the Inside Out season. I naturally suspect that she will be a brawler and Foo-Foo, her pet dog, will be her Epic crew member.
