Karen Prell Celebration Menu
​

In this menu the site's red arches drop in as usual. A banner that reads "Celebrating Karen Prell" appears above the usual Muppet Central logo. Twinkling glitter sparkles briefly while Karen's characters pop up into the arches along with the fabulous Karen Prell herself to the right of the logo while her signature character Red Fraggle is to the left. On Red’s side (left to right) Deena Monster (from the 1980-81 Sesame Street season), Maurine the Mink (from Muppet Family Christmas) and Mimi, with her guitar, (from the Ghost of Faffner Hall) appear. On Karen's side (left to right) the Junk Lady (from Labyrinth), William the Worm (blue worm from Labyrinth) and Yolanda Rat (Rizzo’s girlfriend featured in the Muppets Take Manhattan) appear.

Thank you Karen for the magic you keep bringing your fans!
You are celebrated here at Muppet Central everyday!​

Patriot Day Menu​

The yellow and white Muppet Central logo appears against a black background. It fades out and is replaced by the words “we remember” against a silhouetted Manhattan sky line with the Statue of Liberty on the far right and the twin towers in the middle. The words fade out as well leaving the screen with just the slightly glowing-edged skyline silhouette with a sky of faded red and white horizontal stripes ascending up to a field of blue adorned with two rows of white stars (the American flag). The date reads September 11, 2008 in blue as does the scroll tab. The links are in white and are framed by red lines. This is a simple tribute to remember the dark day for the city of New York, the United States and the world that occurred seven years ago. There are no adequate words I could use to express the appropriate feelings, but I felt this site needed to mark this day every year with something understated and respectful. This was it.
