    How do I get a job as a Muppeteer?

    I used to have this dream, but realized I'd have a better chance at becoming a professional baseball player. The current gang of muppeteers will have those jobs locked up for many years to come. A very very exclusive group. edit: I realized I just posted to a thread that I posted in almost 10...

    Remembering John Henson

    So sad. It bothers me how easily people can just drop dead while doing one of the simplest pleasures in life with family. Feel bad for the kids, who will now be traumatized forever. I'm getting to be that age and worry about this happening to me and leaving my kids without a father.

    Genuine Professional Muppet Style Monster or Grouch Puppet by Terry Angus

    Amazing. I wish I would have known about this one. I could have added another Terry Angus puppet to my collection!

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    I still think Sesame will be fine and continue. I'm sure Kevin mentored quite a few people at SW as well that will have the ability to take over.

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    Sesame Street didn't end when Jim Henson passed away. It will go on.

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    This issue doesn't have anything to do with being gay. It has to do with an underage relationship by an adult much older than the underage person. If Mr. Clash is innocent, his false accusers need to face justice. If it's the other way around, then Mr. Clash needs to face justice. I hope it's...

    Request to Moderators

    What I've been a little bothered by lately are all the threads like. "Floyd Replica", and then you click on it and it's something like, "Man, I wish they would make a Floyd Replica," expecting it to be about an actual Floyd replica.

    MR's Fozzie Prototype found!

    Terry, nice to see you on the boards again! Say, I am the guy that ended up with Randolph the Red-Nosed Monster. His eyes have been somehow scratched or smudged in two places(through lots of use, but he's still in great condition). They look like black marks. I thought of touching them up with...

    Request to Moderators

    The question is, WHY are they always changing thread titles? Is there a good reason, or an OCD reason?

    This song makes my ears bleed. They bleed a little less with Cookie singing it.

    "The Muppets" isn't the Muppets

    Why do I have to like Whoopi? There was something she said about a particular thing I will not bring up here that leads me to believe the woman doesn't have a brain or is nuts. I said I didn't want the muppets to be all about Jason Segel and I certainly don't want them to be all about Whoopi...

    "The Muppets" isn't the Muppets

    Wow. Hardy what I said. I think to say you went off on a tagent is an understatement. Seems to me there is no room for differences of opinions with you. I'm merely participating in discussion, but you feel the need to attack. Good job.

    "The Muppets" isn't the Muppets

    Just one more nitpick and then I'm done. And I'm wondering if anybody else agrees. I think Animal needs to go back to where he doesn't articulate his words so clearly. I think that's why the current Animal just isn't doing it for me. Bring the animal back in Animal I say. :halo:

    "The Muppets" isn't the Muppets

    Don't take my comments too seriously. They're just off the cuff observations to contribute to the discussion. You know, I totally missed the whole Walter/Walt Disney thing. *woosh* plane goes over head...... Walter kind of seems like the new Scooter a little bit, doesn't he? Scooter has put...

    That's awesome that the Jim Henson Company still exists then.

    Jim Henson's Pajanimals debuts on NBC Kids Saturday July 7, 2012

    I don't know where else to post this question, but is this a Disney production or something Brian Henson is working on? Since the Jim Henson Company was sold to Disney, the Henson family gave up their rights to the Jim Henson and Muppet names, didn't they? I would really love to see the Henson...

    "The Muppets" isn't the Muppets

    I enjoyed The Muppets as a lifelong fan and admirer. I can see how some people can have some issues with the movie. Honestly speaking, the voice and mannerisms of Piggy didn't gel well for me. I think there is much room for improvement to bring her back to the Piggy we all know and love. Fozzie...

    My Kermit Muppet

    Those look awesome. But here's the question. The magic of a real muppet also lies on the inside. Frank Oz had said that muppets are built so specialized that they fit like a glove. How do these puppets fit on your hand? I wonder if the person that made these has knowledge of the inner workings...

    My apologies to Steve Whitmire, Bill Barretta and Disney.

    Was there a lot of people there? Maybe they were just trying to keep things moving. How long did you spend up there? Also, timing in showbiz is everything. Maybe they thought it was good to end your visit on a high note after the hug. Because really, where can it go from there? It just doesn't...
