    Grover in Old Spice spoof on YouTube

    Yeah, when i was checking out Youtube this weekend, Grover's parody was one of the trending videos on the first page. This just after the Elmo/Katy Perry video was also a high-viewed video. SST seems to be on a roll and this time it's their humor in the spotlight as opposed to a...

    Emergency! Selling all my Muppet/Henson stuff (and more)

    Zns, i appreciate that. I tend to tear up at the drop of a hat lately so the waterworks reading that was the latest out of a regularly running fountain. I know some people are aware of my aetheism but by the same token, i don't ever discourage anyone from following their own paths or beliefs...

    Emergency! Selling all my Muppet/Henson stuff (and more)

    Everything Keeps Getting Worse! Well i was laid off from the new job i got a couple weeks ago (not even for a valid reason - pure office politics) and have not had success finding a new one - so on top of all the other things that have been happening to me, i now have no income, almost nothing...

    Rosita's voice

    This is why Eric and David were so effective with thier recasts of Frank and Richard's characters - both managed to sound like how each of those two people did when they last did the characters as opposed to doing an imitation of their Muppets 70's era. Listen to Richard Hunt in the late 80's...

    Rosita's voice

    Because if she sounded younger as both character and performer gets older, we'd all have to wonder if she was drinking the same water as Shrinking Zoe.

    Quick question

    There's a number of good points raised. No, we're not the "target audience" but in a way we are a "sub-target" audience. One of the main goals has always been to be entertaining for the grownups so they'll watch with the kids. SST KNOWS how much the adults love the older characters because...

    Remembering The King

    Since my teens, i've heard over and over that i should be an Elvis impersonator since i have similar facial features and singing voice (it's actually something i've had to fight against). Finally in 2004, when Grand Canyon Mens' Chorale did a "Class Reunion" concert with music from the 50s-70s...

    Song You Wish The Muppets Had Gotten Hold Of

    I think it would be awesome if The Muppets could do any of Jerry Nelson's songs. Just too fitting! Needs to happen sooner or later. Just about any song from the B-52s would work (i know they did Rock Lobster and it was definately a highlight of MT!) - i'd really love to see them do Wig...

    E-mail for Muppet Show DVD seasons 4 & 5

    This is not only in reference to S4 TMS specifically, but the earlier comment that Disney's holding other stuff back for the movie push. I can understand and support that to an extent, but while i think a lot of Disney's Muppet relaunch has been handled well, i do think that now they're...

    Jim Henson's Red Book

    Guilty Confession Time Okay, i'm one of the biggest Henson Geeks in the universe - you know the type that was practically born to be a Henson historian. The kind of trivia in this type of project is stuff i live for. And i've long wanted to have Jim's journals published in some manner for...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 41

    Wonder how much of these new/old episodes they'll do - wonder if there'll be 26 of them to make up for the "lost season" of Sesame Street (caused by so many pushbacks on seasons that they eventually lost a season) - under ideal circumstances they should be in season 42 - wonder if these might be...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 41

    Really weird. I put on my dvr to catch today's episode then when i saw it was a rerun, stopped the dvd. But then i thougt "wait a minute - did they show that with the season 40/41 opening theme?" So i looked at the part i caught on tape - and it was Episode 4239! (If i caught that earlier, i...

    The "hand-me-down" performers

    If you look beyond the Biggies of SST and Classic Muppets, Eric's best known original character would be Harry the Duck on BITBBH. (Now i'm missing Bear and all those great characters!) I also had long noticed how Marty seems to be a big recast guy - but he's so good at it! It seems so odd...

    EMERGENCY SALE! Selling my entire Palisades collection (and other great Henson stuff)

    THINGS HAVE BEEN GETTING EVEN WORSE FOR ME AS I'M UNEMPLOYED AGAIN (for nothing more than office politics) - my supervisor's been trying to make up for it by helping me find a new job but the two places he's found so far were oommision-only jobs where it was obvious i wouldn't have been able to...

    What's Your Numbers, featuring Frogpuppeteer

    Wow - i would have been way too giddy if i was in a movie starring Chris Evans (i have the hugest crush on his actor brother Scott) Really excited to hear about that project!

    Unofficial Picture Thread!

    Whoops - just revisited this thread and found that my earlier attempt didn't work (looks like a webtv thing") - hopefully this should work now... I don't have a lot of photos i can share since (1) i tend to be very camera shy and pictures of myself are rare enough as a result on its own and...

    Is there Muppet continuity/canon?

    My thoughts... I think people are more apt to be concerned with continuity/canon when the overall project is that of a continuing story with a logical progression. This could be a series of movies, a television show that picks up the story each week (the episodes have to be shown in a basic...

    Why does Muppet fandom seem so underground?

    I've fallen behind in my forum reading so i'm just getting to this thread now. I've read page one so far and there's been some good point/thoughts thrown out. Keep in mind that there are different levels of fandom and even "Major fans" shocking though it may seem to us - haven't even...

    Movie theater intros

    When i was a teen, my friends and i had a tradition where when we saw a movie and they got to the part in those intros about no loud talking, we would say real loudly, "Oh i HATE when people DO that!" We also had a tradition where if the movie had Whoopi Goldberg in it, when her name showed...
