    Muppet commercial i'd do anything to see

    Okay, so very soon USAopoly will be releasing a re-issue of Muppet Monopoly as well as a new Muppet Yahtzee. I'm thinkin' it would be all kinds of awesome if there was a tv ad for these with images of people playing each game along with random clips of the Muppets all to audio of the...

    Pricing for an Animal Puppet

    I can't answer about price as i don't pay attention to that kind of thing - though i'm sure others here who do can help out with that... But i would consider that a valuable Muppet collectable. Fisher Price made the best Muppet puppets/dolls, these were made during The Muppet Show's run, the...

    Pricing for an Animal Puppet

    What would it be? Impossible. Animal didn't exist until a couple years later. Are you maybe referring to the Fisher Price Animal puppet from the late 70's?

    New Muppet Movie opens Christmas Day 2011

    All i can say (besides what i've said already) is that if that's going to be the release date then the Muppets really need to release another major project such as a special or something in the meantime (and no - viral videos/muppets.com clips don't count) The Muppets' biggest problem for way...

    TV Finales: Good & Bad

    Even before reading the first post, upon seeing the thread's title, i was thinking "Twin Peaks" but on the excellent side. The show had gotten a bit away from where David Lynch wanted it to be by the time he came in to direct it - and he made LOTS of changes to the script. It was not known...

    Misheard Song Lyrics

    I've been on a huge Cyndi Lauper kick lately and have been listening to all my Cyndi albums i haven't heard for awhile...and remembering lots of misheard lyrics from when the songs first came out including... GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN: "I want to be the one to walk in that sun" heard as "I...

    New Muppet Movie opens Christmas Day 2011

    Having kind of an indifferent reaction to this. For one thing, it's really weird that a release date is set before anything's gone before the cameras. Secondly, i think everyone was expecting this to end up being released either late this year or early next...but pretty much the very last...

    "Power of the Dark Crystal" feature production launches in Australia

    As a Farscape fan, i'm not too concerned about the use of CGI replacing puppetry as i'm sure POTDC would employ the same ideology used with Farscape (series and movie) - with the CGI used sparingly to enhance the "real" effects. 88 episodes, four seasons, and a 183 minute miniseries and i...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Pigs In Space and Farscape are just BEGGING for some kind of crossover! I would literally be laughing for days if Noranti popped up randomly in a Muppet comic (just even in the background of a crowd scene) saying "Hello, Cookie Monster" to one of the Muppet monsters.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    That's exactly where the name came from. The "e" on the end of Shakespeare was dropped when their first logo designer accidentally left it off and they decided to keep the misspelling.

    Is Rowlf public domain?

    Rowlf is DEFINATELY owned by Disney (the lawyers would SO be on top of it if he wasn't) I think the examples you gave are just slips through the cracks...Kermit is so closely associated with Sesame that SW keeps an eye out for when they include Kermit in something and have to provide the...

    Is Elmo really a Muppet?

    "Sesame Street" is one "family" or group of Muppet characters - typically referred to as "The Sesame Street Muppets". The cast of the Muppet Show has come to be known as "Classic Muppets"

    Favorite Non-Henson Puppets and Puppeteers

    Glad someone finally mentioned Spitting Image! DC Follies (in the USA - highly inspired by the UK's Spitting Image) was terrific but SI puts it to shame! All time fave DC Follies moment - Michael Jackson and Richard Nixon both having cosmetic surgery operations at the same time and ending up...

    LOST: The End

    My jaw would totally hit the floor if the very end of LOST was everyone realizing they should have tried Hare Krishna. (Hey, with the recent Muppet collaborations, why not?)

    An accurate Jim Henson biography for kids?

    (Cool to see you're still using that sig, Beau) I don't think there's any Henson bio/major behind the scenes book - for kids or adults - that doesn't have a few errors that popped in there somewhere but even though Inventors and Creators has a few of them in there, it still is one of the...

    Muppet DVD "Easter Eggs"

    The original Best of The Muppet Show dvd's from Time Life (the three per disc TMS dvds that came out before Disney's season box sets) all had easter eggs where highlighting Animal on the main menu would take you to an original design sketch for a Muppet character. Many of the Farscape dvds...
