    Favorite show no one knows

    Two of my fave shows growing up had puppets and were pretty obscure... The first thankfully is slowly coming out of obscurity, The Hot Fudge Show. This started out as a local Detroit show that soon went into syndication. You could see a Henson influence (especially the band which seemed...

    Much Easier Way To Watch Muppets.com

    That works better though i'm still not seeing where it's a super-fab alternative - still pretty horribly slow and glitchy to me and i'm not seeing where it has any of the site's Easter eggs (like the Newsflashes and red button stuff etc.) It is convenient for viewing all the videos that are up...

    What bonus features would you like on The Muppet Show Season 4?

    Ooh - good one; totally agree! That's exactly the kind of stuff i'm talking about in terms of really only making sense as a TMS bonus feature as opposed to somewhere else.

    Mr. Johnson always complains about Grover's service...

    Now THAT'S just *SAD*! That night only it was the "Awful House". ...or maybe you went to the right house, but nobody was home! (Hey waffles have to go out SOMETIME right? Maybe to do some ironing?) It's always possible that was a cover story and the waffles were on strike - i hear...

    Really, where are the Disney lawyers to do something about these rip offs!

    Sorry, but i've got to take issue with this. One CAN get in trouble for a knock-off. Parody is a form of satire; one is making fun of the original work (and typically depends on the audience's knowledge of the original work to fully "get" it). While people can certainly take umbrage to...

    What bonus features would you like on The Muppet Show Season 4?

    Anything Muppet Baby related does not belong as a bonus feature on a TMS set. Not only would this take away from stuff that belong on there and wouldn't be appropriate elsewhere, but they're really two very seperate projects (even if one is based on characters from the other) with different...

    Going directly to that link doesn't accomplish what i think you're trying to lead people to.

    Eric Jacobson performing other Muppets question?

    Scratch what i said about Blogg (you replied before i had a chance to edit). According to Muppet Wiki he's done by Joey (but i could swear that sounds much more like Eric). At any rate, Eric does do many minor characters and voiceovers on SST aside from Frank's characters.

    Muppets on America's Funniest Home Videos

    Not really. When that happened, we heard from a reliable source it was planned. This was an incident where the only head's up was a fan's relative. Obviously a mistake or miscommunication. When i saw this thread i was really surprised because now that Muppets Studios has a Twitter page, i...

    Eric Jacobson performing other Muppets question?

    Yes. Even though Oz's characters are his main responsibility (that keeps someone pretty busy - so busy of course that Frank himself wasn't able to do it!), that's not his sole function and he does to other characters - mostly on Sesame Street (including Blogg though granted that's more a...

    New Fraggle Dolls

    Not quite - there's a Mokey's Grandmother! Wanna have some more fun? Toughpigs has a picture of new Red and Wembley puppets. You can reenact countless scenes of Red reacting to Gobo's latest Traveling Matt postcard or missing the pool on her latest dive with that likeness!

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    I was going to post a friendly reminder that there are TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT Henson biopic scripts (by two different people) that have been in the news the last couple of years: the first was named "Henson" by Robert D. Slane which was acquired by Empire in 2008 and was seeming to go into...

    New Fraggle Dolls

    Hmmm...kind of ironicly appropriate given the state of the Fraggle Rock movie/relaunch actually...

    What bonus features would you like on The Muppet Show Season 4?

    OM&M should be on season 4 or 5, but really belongs on season 5 since this was the time that the docu was released and a lot of the footage was taken and interviews were conducted during the taping of the final season. I'd say no to things like Hey Cinderella and Frog Prince. They can very...

    The Growth of Gonzo

    Most Muppet characters evolve very organically and Gonzo is one of the best examples - he's gone from a very simple concept which could have been left one-joke and had gone on to become one of the most complex and three-dimensional of the Muppet characters. In many ways, Gonzo seems a natural...

    Silhouette/Cookie Cutter

    It may be a little too late to track one down but i figured i'd throw this out there for the benefit of anyone who wants to do something like this in the future... My mother's best friend in the small town i grew up with was the "go-to person" for making cakes. One of her most valuable...

    New Video: Ringing of the Bells

    Danny Boy was the debut of Animal/Beaker/Chef (or "Leprechan Brothers" as it were!) Though one could say the "group" first formed when Animal teamed up with Chef to sing Happy Birthday to Helen Reddy and then later added third member Beaker!

    Season 40 Hidden Gems

    The entire sign really should be noted as it was such an awesome tribute to the kind of humor Jon strove for --- The top read "Jon's Pencil Emporium" - not only did the O in Jon have Jon's photo in it, but he also had a pencil in his beard which he tended to do IRL! The sign went on to read...

    Anticipating the TP Jerry Nelson interview!

    A good interview takes into account the whole of the readership. Sure, a lot of people may know some of those basics but a large number of people will be hearing such things for the first time, so you get all the bases covered. Some of those questions may be retreads but the majority of the...

    I miss the Muppets

    I know it must be tough for an overseas fan at the moment since a lot of stuff is online and blocked for fans outside the US - Disney is aware of this and are looking to make stuff viewable for international fans. In the meantime, you should still be able to find lots of Muppety stuff on the...
