THE PREMISE IS THE MUPPET SHOW!!!!!
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · last mo.There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival. Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on. (Source: Deadline)
It's always a bit shocking to learn that some Saturday morning TV show I remember from childhood only had a handful of episodes. Like… how many times did we rewatch that stuff?!
The Spaceshipper 🚀@thespaceshipper.com · last mo.Space Academy (TV, 15 episodes, CBS) started 49 years ago. The adventures of the students of an outer space school, built on an asteroid, in 3732.
Rat racer on a boulangerie run. A collaboration with @fpiatti.bsky.social who built & painted the car (and took these photos!) 💛 Tried a bunch of new things in terms of materials for this one! Really happy with how it turned out 😊
One of my favorite quotes ever- Chidi from the Good Place, sharing a perspective on death before he makes a big decision. It’s such a beautiful, heartbreaking scene #thegoodplace

Here she's performing "Didn't It Rain" at a train depot in Manchester, England in 1964. She's often called the "Godmother of Rock & Roll" and influenced future music icons like Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis Presley.
the lessons we need to take are clear. Dolly said "find out who you are and do it on purpose", and Tim Curry's line is "don't dream it, be it" they would both be disappointed if we wrote that off as corny. so what? it's necessary. we have everything to lose if we are dishonest to ourselves.
