    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Starring Sabrina Carpenter

    It took me YEARS to get used to Steve Whitmire, mostly because the writing was sometimes a little off. Eventually I got used to him, probably around the Muppet Tonight era. I couldn’t even watch the newer movies until then without feeling heartbroken. I came to appreciate the movies, even if...

    New Members: Please Post and Introduce Yourself

    Hello everyone! I'm a lifelong muppet fan. My favorite teether was Big Bird. I cried the day after my first birthday because my dad turned off Gonzo so he could record me. I love puppets and have made a full sized Sprocket puppet which was signed by Steve Whitmire because it wasn't a bootleg...
