    Your Thoughts: Dog City DVD

    You know you've watched too much Dog City when you keep making the dog jokes without realizing it! I understand where all your thoughts are coming from, but i tend to share the opposite view on most of it. Since Dog City originally came from the Jim Henson Hour (and in that episode was...

    Sesame and this year's Emmys

    Yeah, i became hooked in 1992 when i saw the show featured on a talk show about how Linda Gottlieb, their then-exec producer was trying to both bring a lot of production values usually not seen on soaps to the show by hiring novelist Michael Malone as headwriter and doing lots of social issues...

    Wow - that's really exciting to hear that Stein is working on a full-sized bio of Richard! I'm doing my happy dance!

    Sesame and this year's Emmys

    Can't add much more to what's been said. The whole ceremony was a tribute to Las Vegas for some bizarre reason. I guess they wanted to have it in an "exciting" location that wasn't too far from California since all the remaining soaps (except One Life to Live) shoot in L.A. where it used to be...

    Serious MuppetCast Poll

    Couldn't care less either way since i can't listen to either of them on my primitive home system. The only Muppetcast news i'm waiting on is the ability to get copies of the show on cd.

    Sesame and this year's Emmys

    I was pretty tired when i posted the winners' list that i actually had a little mini-review/rant about this year's ceremony preceeding it, but i must have accidentally clipped it all out when i was editing my cut and paste job. But basically, as great as Sesame's wins were, if you didn't tune...

    ...and if you don't have a puppet to sing with, when you sing karaoke, you perform "Witch Doctor" Muppaphone style. And rather than follow the words on the screen, you instead sing about the virtues of the letter U when singing Melissa Etheridge's "Like the Way I Do".

    Interview with Frank Oz.

    Why does everyone think Henson Co. has had so much trouble with funds for the last decade plus? Back when Frank was heavily involved with them, the majority of their income came courtesy of the massive cashflow generated from Frank's contributions to the office Swear Jar.

    Nickelodeon Petition

    The petition itself's not a bad idea. But the way it's written won't be taken seriously or have any impact. When you're trying to influence a big company to make a major decision, the idea needs to be presented professionally with specific courses of action and without emotional angry...

    Tonner Doll Co. Making KERMIT!

    The Tonner line has reminded me an awful lot of a more upscale version of Fisher Price's Muppet dress up dolls from aroun 1981 in between the concept, the outfits choices and even the Miss Piggy head sculpt looks very close (when i saw the very first photo of Tonner's Piggy, i thought it was a...

    Get me my cane...

    I don't have much specific memories of my first exposure to Empire or Pac-Man. My older brother was a Star Wars lover (which tended to have the effect of making me not so into it - that was the thing back then...anything he would consider cool, i would have to consider uncool!) Of course Frank...

    Amanda Bynes is "retired" from acting at 24.

    ...But perhaps having the more level head may actually explain why she's better able to make such a decision. Being a professional actor is not as easy or glamourous as it may strike the general public (especially in the current celebrity-crazed atmosphere) for those of ANY age, but certainly...

    Muppet Impressions

    Me and Muppet Impressions Ever since i was a kid i've tried to do all the characters - of course at that age you're convinced you can do "everyone" brilliantly but of course there would have been stronger and weaker ones! Of course with me, it wasn't just the voices though; it was also the...

    ...and hum "Battle Hymn of the Republic" when you ride an elevator! You automatically think of Beautiful Day Monster when you hear U2's "Beautiful Day" When walking into a friend or relative's room for the first time after they bought some new furniture, your first words are "Hey there...

    Whenever you're hoping for a phone call from someone and someone else calls instead who you really don't care to talk to, you mutter "Oh...pig..." You reflexively sing "Bah da bum bum" whenever singing "12 Days of Christmas" The end of Depeche Mode's "Master and Servant" makes you think of...

    Whatever happened to Link Hogthrob?

    That applies much more to Strangepork than Link though as Link existed and served lots of purpose outside the Pigs in Space sketches. Heck, he's one of a handful of Muppets that had starring roles in two recurring sketches (PiS and Bear on Patrol). If you added all of Link's body of screentime...
