   […] The MuppetCast wrote an interesting post today on Show #31 – November 11, 2007Here’s a quick excerptShow #31 – November 11, 2007 November 11th, 2007 muppetca Posted in podcasts | No Comments ? This week we take a look at some great UK content.

She appeared on Loose Women and GMTV. Watch these appearances by clicking on the links! Stephen Finney drops a line and makes us all even more jea […]

   Sorry if this is a double comment. I didn’t type in the verification code last time 😉

   Great job on the intros! Keep em up.

   Another thought on Tinseltown. Yeah, it was a pilot, but if they want the show to get picked up, they should make sure that the pilot is fantastic. So many pilots get brushed off because of their mediocrity (or in Tinseltown’s case, pure blandness.)

   Also, a large majority of Muppet fans are gay, so they’ve always been around. Miss Piggy can be seen as a gay icon, in many ways. The thing is, the characters are gay. Ok, that’s great, but it seems like nothing more than a joke. Can’t they just “happen” to be gay without making a stereotypical fuss over it? Howard is even on the slightly offensive side, in my opinion. Logo makes some pretty horrendous gay programming. It’s almost all like Tinseltown, and none of my gay friends watch it because so much of it is pure crap (Big Gay Sketch Show, for example, is one of the worst shows on tv in my opinion…flat out unfunny.) Logo tries too hard to be gay. Most homosexual people are not like this, and they’re targeting the programming to a specific niche inside another niche market.

   My thinking is this: The Muppets/Henson have been making really bad shows and films for the past ten years or so. If this is the way they’re going to keep going, no, I DON’T want to see any more new Muppet things. Look at what a tradgedy Swamp Years and Oz were! I want to remember the Muppets I love from the 70’s and 80’s. If the characters are going to be treated this way, I’d rather not see anything new and sit back and watch old Muppet Show DVD’s.

   Sorry for going off on a tanget, just kind of upset about the trash being made lately.

   Here’s my thoughts on Tinseltown: if it’s got Bill Barretta, I’ll watch it. That guy’s hilarious.

   And is it me or is Miss Piggy starting to sound more like Julia Child?
