Anyway, thanks for the link. Rather interesting read there.

You're welcome!

I certainly enjoyed reading it. And both Craig and Lauren have talked about the Muppet Show before, and how it gave some inspiration to the show. Last summer at the Con Lauren was interviewed about her "Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls", and mentioned the Muppets again as a bit of an inspiration (among other things) for her Solar Sisterhood, too. It sounds like they were both great fans. I remember watching it too when I was young. Not only was it funny, the guest stars were great.

I was a bit too young to get to enjoy the original Muppets show when it aired (born just a BIT too late), but I did see re-runs sometimes. Plus, I grew up with Muppets Tonight, so...

But yes, it's a very cute show. I was actually watching vids on youtube the other day and I still laugh at them even at 22! XD

Great article from newsrama, and good credit for Lauren Faust and those who have worked with Craig.

Interesting tidbits on Cartoonstitute; can't wait to see that when it airs.

Newsarama posted the second part of that interview about PPG today. It doesn't include as much info about Foster's as we'd like, but it's still a good interview, with more fun tid bits about Cartoonstitute. And it sounds like Craig and Co. are open to a possibility of getting back together to make a Foster's special after the show officially ends.

Quote:

NRAMA: I�d be remiss if I didn�t ask you. How are things at Foster�s?

CM: There are five episodes that we have completed episodes on. I believe they are planning some sort of marathon, where they will air those.

NRAMA: So is Foster�s kind of ending its run, too?

CM: Well, we�ve kind of ended production on it for now. Like Powerpuff, there�s always the potential to make more specials.

Specials, as in plural?

Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. That would be wonderful if it happens, although there's no need for me to express that because I'm sure you all agree.

A marathon? Interesting way to show the final five. I'd have expected CN to spread them out a little.

Yeah, me too, Cass. Needless to say, I will be very disappointed if CN decides to air this marathon on a weekday, when I'm at work. Sure, I've got a VCR, but it's getting tougher finding tapes, and it's not the same as seeing it first-run.

It'd be terrible if you had to call in "sick" that day.

taranchula · 01-21-2009, 06:45 AM

Specials eh?

Oh good well at least this tells me, that Foster's isn't going to end so definitively that they wouldn't be able to revisit the characters at all.

Those are the kind of endings I like the best, a sense of finality but with enough openness to pick up things again later down the road.

Now the only burning unanswered question is... Where are the rest of the DVD sets?

Hopefully the select few in the Turner hierarchy who have the power to make it so, will have a answer for us all in the near future. (Either the remaining individual seasons, or another mega set similar to the recent PPG release. Either one would be fine I'm not picky.)

Specials you say?

When I heard the final episode would be called Goodbye to Bloo, I thought it was going to be a tragic finale and would involve Mac leaving Bloo (Indeed, the oh-so-reliable Wikipedia stated Mac would be 18 and moving on). I didn't know whether to believe this or not, but I didn't like the sound of it (but as much as I love that site, I've learn not to believe it all the time). It sounded like a depressing way to end the series.

The final five aired on Cartoon Network USA on the 3rd of May this year (my 19th birthday!). Obliviously for me on a channel I don't have in a continent I don't live in. Whilst I haven't seen it yet (I'm going to save that until I have seen all the others!), I have since read the synopsis, and I know it has a happy ending! However, I'm in no rush to watch all the rest, as I don't want to run out of a good thing!

Whilst I understand why they have decided to end the seasons, I am happy to see that there will always be potential for specials! This way, there is less risk of the show just outstaying its welcome and going down hill (like the Fairly Odd Parents, which was great when it started but now struggles to stay fresh, not to change the subject).

However, not to be pessimistic, but specials can also be risky- asides from having to reunited the cast, there may be a pressure to live up to everyone's expectations- What do you think?
