    My Muppet Book: Frogs, Hogs, Weirdos & What-Nots

    Sorry for taking so long to reply everybody, I wanted to make sure that all the refunds had been processed before making any official announcements. Frogs, Hogs, Weirdos and What-nots will not be released at the end of March as planned. No new release date has been set as of yet, but the book...

    My Muppet Book: Frogs, Hogs, Weirdos & What-Nots

    I'm afraid the avatar connection is just co-incidence, although I'm a fan of Doctor Who and know a lot of the folks who hang around in places like GB. I used to write and produce shorts for Tachyon TV, if that means anything to you!

    Just a quick note to confirm some of my recent interviewees for the book; Bill Barretta, Brian Meehl and Muppet Show sound man Tedd Scott. Things are still on track for a late March release date.

    I managed to grab the last couple of rolls in my local branch yesterday. Glad to see how well the Muppet wrapping was selling in comparison to the other Disney stuff!

    Sorry to bump this thread, but I thought that some of you may be interested to know that I can now confirm that both Muppet Show directors Peter Harris and Philip Casson have been extensively interviewed for the book. You may also be interested to know that they are both lovely.

    My Muppet Book: Frogs, Hogs, Weirdos & What-Nots

    I guess it's time to come clean! Some of you may have recently heard a slightly nervous English guy on the Muppetcast disccussing his new book, a complete Muppet history intended to update and expand upon the pioneering work featured in classic tomes like Of Muppets and Men and The Works.

    Chris Langham

    Facinating profile of Langham in last Sunday's issue of The Guardian's G2 supplement. Obviously, discression is advised as the article does cover his court case. LINK

    Did Henson recently buy back the Muppets?

    Lionsgate have a new R2 release of Emmett Otter scheduled for November. It'll be interesting to see which edit makes it out this time!
