    Deleted scene in the Muppets Take Manhattan

    I'm hoping to revive Muppet Freak soon and if i do one of the new features will be one i've wanted to do from the beginning - a look at the differnces between scripts and final versions of Muppet projects, so if you can stand a little wait/suspense, your other questions about TMTM (and the other...

    This is probably why we didn't have comic news

    Boom was lucky to find RL and his writing and art is a lot of what made TMSCB a success - but it was never "Roger Langridge's The Muppet Show". The first issues didn't sell out because it was RL, but because it was TMS. The comic should continue with other writers/artists. Heck, just as...

    This is probably why we didn't have comic news

    While i'm sad to hear about Langridge leaving, i doubt Boom/Disney will pull the plug on the comic altogether - or at least if they know what's best, they won't. This is after all, a wild success with issues continually selling out including its debut which went into a second printing. While...

    Deleted scene in the Muppets Take Manhattan

    From the script: KERMIT, still in three piece suit, but his tie is undone. He sits in the center of the room. A gooseneck table lamp is pointing at him and its harsh light bathes KERMIT's face. The MUPPET GANG are either seated or standing around him. They are half-dressed in their...

    Muppet marathons past and present

    Inspired by the Hub's upcoming Muppet movie marathon, i thought i'd start a thread devoted to Muppet marathons. When a station or venue not only airs the Muppets, but hours of back-to-back Muppets, that says a lot about their staying power. In addition to this four movie block this weekend...

    Muppet Movie Marathon Saturday 11/27 on The Hub

    This does seem like the longest Muppet marathon i've heard of a tv station airing (US anyway, i'd be interested to hear about marathons elsewhere... (actually i think i'll start a seperate thread) Since i didn't ever get Odyssey, does anyone happen to know what TMS episodes they aired when...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    Yes they can - with careful planning. The Muppets did several major projects at once in their heyday (1979 especially being a "full-calendar" year). Elmo in Grouchland and Muppets From Space were done at about the same time. More than one major projects can be done within a small window as...

    Rosita's voice

    As someone who's studied voice, i can't quite sign on to the statement that age does "terrible" things to one's voice - though granted if one is a voice artist or otherwise does character voices, then yeah - they may not be able to replicate those voices later on - but the voice just naturally...

    First Fraggle Rock episode you ever saw

    The answer's not that exciting (the first episode, Beginnings) but the story behind it is better. I didn't have HBO at the time (or even basic cable yet), and i had been so depressed over a new Muppet series being on a channel i didn't have ever since i first heard about it. However at that...

    New Muppet movie 'female lead' casting development

    I'd love to see the Muppets on ABC but timeslot/promotion is EVERYTHING! I could see it on ABC easily - but ABC Family wouldn't be so bad either - they've actually become a surprisingly good channel with lots of hit shows. As much as i hate how the Muppets are underrepresented on Disney...

    Muppet Treasure Island on The Hub Channel

    Unnecessary edits, eh? Well, to the person upthread who was wanting a "new Odyssey", sounds like they got their wish! ;)

    Rosita's voice

    ...and of course it isn't just a "voice artist" thing. People's voices change as they get older regardless. So whether you're someone doing character voices, a singer using your own voice, or an "everyday joe" you'll sound slightly different at ages 20, 40, 60...

    Agreed - in fact i think way too many people don't have enough noses.

    We Have a Picture of Walter AND MORE NEWS!

    Bringing Gonzo to his TMS season 1 look is NOT something they would intentionally try or want to do. Gonzo looked like he did then because he was an already existing puppet that didn't yet have his TMS personality. Dave Goelz (who was a puppet builder as well) knew that the character needed a...

    Muppet Replica Line

    The reasons why Disney would never allow this has already been covered, but even if this were to happen, i would be aghast to see something that special in a Walmart! But to expand further on the reasons it wouldn't happen, it isn't even so much fanmade videos on Youtube as it is giving...

    Muppets Tonight!

    I generally liked/loved MT! more than disliked it - despite some flaws, overall it was a really great underrated show. I think if the shows had been aired in production order, the new characters wouldn't have been so jarring - when you watch the shows in that order, the transition is much...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 41

    True, we did get a Herry cameo last year but it was practically on a gem level signaling how he's crossed over to "old obscure" status. I'd love to see more Herry but given the current State of the Street, i'm guessing it won't be Herry Monster but a one-shot character, probably with a...
