    Getting the Jokes (Ten years later)

    ...of course it's just not the rats... i'll never forget when i watched the Muppet Movie and it finally hit me what two of the scenes in Piggy's fanasies during Never Before were implying (ie the streetlamp and kissing out of sight below the grass)

    The first Muppet Show Comic compilation book is out now.

    I haven't seen it announced anywhere else so i figured i'd better start a thread about it here...for those of you who have had trouble chasing down those sold-out copies of the Muppet Show Comic Book, had problems ordering overseas, or experienced any other obstacles getting your hands on them...

    Confessing Crushes...

    I haven't had a huge number of celebrity (real or fictional) crushes largely because i tend to be attracted to people that have a "real life" look to them as opposed to someone who's real good looking and could be on magazine covers. So i'm more likely to crush on an extra more than a lead...

    What would happen if Sesame Workshop retired Elmo?

    On the one hand, i can understand the anger and frustration that comes from the original post. On the other hand, as much as we adult Muppet fans like to believe that the show is just as much for "us" as it is the preschooler's (because the whole idea was to provide childrens' programming that...

    Coupon Codes for Ebay Anyone?

    Same situation here - i'm no expert since i haven't used ebay for years (not only because of the whole paypal monopoly mess but also avoiding using credit cards in general) but i sincerely doubt discount codes would even EXIST in the first place since ebay is an auction site and discounts would...

    Camille Bonora's First Performance

    Definately an underrated talent that fans don't have enough info on. I think she's great and i always love in when she plays a sheep since she has such a great "lamb" voice.

    The MuppetCast - Show #124 - Magenta is Beautiful!

    Is that the trivia question then - who played Gordon in the test shows? Typically if someone asks a trivia question, the implication is that they have the correct answer on file so were you actually able to track down the question that fans and Michael Earl himself has been asking?

    What special was this quote in?

    That sounds like the Miss Piggy's Hollywood special that originally aired as part of Jim Henson Hour (and was later shown as a stand-alone special). There's a parody of That' Entertainment that Piggy sings at Universal Studios which includes the line "the effects may be better than sex" Kermit...

    Commercial rant time...

    Most annyoying insulting commercial of all time (not including political ads which are in a class of their own)..."My wife...I think I'll keep her." (showing my age with that one!)

    My dog and best friend Max, 1994-2009

    (No offence or insensitivity meant towards anyone's losses here - just instilling a brief amount of levity in an otherwise somber topic:) Yikes it seems other animals consume bunnies the same way humans treat their chocolate versions! We devour the ears before anything else...so i guess dogs...

    Are there different edits/versions of Sid the Science Kid?

    Yeah it is a bit odd - especially when one figures that PBS is the network commissioning the show so one would figure they'd taylor the running times especially for their airings. Though quite honestly the days of PBS being totally "commercial free" are over - instead of having programs...

    Please Bring Back (fill in the blank)

    It WOULD be all kinds of awesome if Wontkins popped up in some really obscure cameo! Luncheon Counter Monster has made kind of a small comeback - we got to see him in LTS where he even spoke "Mr. Bear...Mr. Bear...Mr. Uh..." (not sure what to address Gonzo as). And if i remember, i think...

    Question

    That's the main difference. Although it should also be noted that Whatnots are far more varied and "anything goes" in their design whereas the Anything Muppets have very specific base types that have held pretty consistent over all 40 years - fat blue, green point head, long shaped orange...

    Favorite TMS Scene?

    Wow that's like choosing a fave song by one's fave artist or a fave Muppet ... so many classics to choose from. But there are three that come to the top of my mind as the best of the best: Sax & Violence - not only do you get Mahna Mahna doing his typical thing of infusing his unique hip...

    Gonzo's nose (materials/strength)

    (Debated as to whether i should post this in classic Muppets or puppetry - but since this is largely a "puppet building"/technical question, it seemed more appropriate here...and those most able to answer would be more likely to see it) I have long wondered about the durability of Gonzo's...

    People You Wish Were Guests on the Street

    I second Carrie Hamilton - i really thought the world of her and miss her. Carol's early SS appearances really remind me of her (especially when she talks about noses) Julie Brown Annie Lennox (still holding out hope that one of these days she puts in an appearance singing about the...

    Pre-Order Fraggle Season 4 DVD Boxset

    Adding some stuff not mentioned - "Red short" - this was originally mentioned in the original announcements for the first complete series release. However this was changed between the original announcement and final release. They didn't have enough time to follow through on it. Before...

    Will Muppet Babies ever be reaired or released on DVD?

    Frogboy pretty much took the words out of my mouth. It's inevitable that sooner or later there will be a dvd release and reairings somewhere (given the international market they probably ARE airing somewhere out there) and Disney would be foolish to not know what they're sitting on in terms...

    How did you become a fan of the Muppets?

    Being born in 1971, Sesame Street was a huge part of my life - my parents told me that as a baby i was just transfixed by them and i would giggle uncontrollably when they were on - it was literally a "from the beginning" love. If you've read my blog, you'll know that i'm very much in favor of...

    Oooohhh!CUPPYCAKE!

    "Ooh - cupeecake" has always been one of my fave lines that i quote everytime i come in contact with a cupcake...despite the face that ever since that sketch came out when i was a kid i wondered why both Ernie and Cookie referred to them as cupcakes when they were actually brownies!
