    The Muppet Show Season 3 arrives May 20, 2008

    Just to answer in regards to a special look at season 3 in the muppetcentral episodes guide to coincide with the season 3 dvds... It was my original plan (and i even announced) that i would have both season 3 of the episode guide up around the same time as the dvds come out as well as...

    Questions for Fran Brill?

    Fran is one of my all time fave Muppet performers and i had the good fortune of attending one of her presentations when she was here in AZ in conjunction with Jim Henson's Fantastic Worlds. I had a whole bunch of questions i had wanted to ask and most of them did get answered but i also held...

    Retro Commercials--What's the Attraction?

    You know, as i'm reading this thread it reminds me of one of the most important thing about commercials that i'm surprised has really been lost over all this time... When i was a kid, you either did three things when commercials were on - you either started channel surfing for two minutes...

    Editorial: The Next (Segal & Stoller) Muppet Movie

    Submitted the following as an editorial to the main site and also to the muppetcast mailbox...but if neither ends up using it, and least it will be here for everyone to read and comment on: Some thoughts on the announcement of Disney's greenlighting a Muppet movie written by actor/writer...

    Gonziggy aka Miss Pigzo the Great -- The first Gonzo and Piggy shippers association

    You know it never fails - once you hit that "post" key, within a minute or two - a great revelation hits you... I was left thinking about who else Piggy might have been attracted to if Kermit wasn't part of the Muppet Show universe - and a possibility entered my mind... This person...

    Ten favorite clips

    I've posted fave Sesame moments before as recently as a month or two ago so i don't care to do a full rehash here. But i do want to give a shoutout to the previously mentioned hippie and dullard discussing shapes sketch ("I know WHO a square is") as One of THE Coolest and Funniest Muppet...

    Gonziggy aka Miss Pigzo the Great -- The first Gonzo and Piggy shippers association

    Myself, i don't see it. Yeah, people can say all they want about the closeness between love and hate - and maybe it might work for the occasional Sam and Diane or Addison and Maddie, but given these particular two, i don't see a compatability. Piggy, despite her love for Kermit, has a...

    Spring Cleaning

    I can completely sympathize. My life has been largely hectic and miserable and filled with very bad luck that's snowballed on itself ever since 2002 when i was almost simultaneously thrown out of my family's house and lost a decades-long job both for being gay. I really thought througout...

    Fozzie Name Origin

    This was actually mentioned in the TMS S1 Muppet Morsels (RIP). Since Jerry Juhl was among the team working on those, i'm guessing the history on this was one of his contributions: He was originally going to be named Ozzie Bear as a tribute to Frank. They couldn't use this name because of...

    Songs that remind you of Muppets

    Okay a couple more... - Eurythmics fanatic i am i've heard many live recordings and bootlegs. One of my fave live songs from them is Never Gonna Cry Again - i've heard it performed many different ways and love them all. On many versions (especially during Touch Tour era) Annie gets into it...

    Songs that remind you of Muppets

    As obsessed Muppet fans, the littlest things probably remind us of something Muppety leaving to many a moment with friends left scratching their heads...like songs for example. This thread is for all those songs that automatically make you think of some kind of Muppety moment. I have tons of...

    Who do you think should voice an animated adult version of Skeeter?

    Considering what Baby Skeeter sounded like and trying to imagine how that would evolve into an adult voice, what immediately popped in my mind was classing voice artist (don't know if she's still alive though) June Foray.

    One Thing Led To Another (POTC/MTI based)

    Just started reading this thread...never having seen Pirates of the Carribbean before, it took my Muppet/Henson obsessed mind to figure out that it wasn't a crossover between Muppet Treasure Island and Power of the (dark) Crystal! (At least i didn't think Pot-C was referring to Richie...

    The Brand New Ask Jim Lewis Thread

    One more for my list (i KNEW i'd think of another after i hit send): - Deep Introspection Time (cue Derek Scott-type music cue): Thinking about your place among the staff of Muppet writers, all of whom have their own individual strengths and weaknesses, what do you feel are your greatest...

    The Brand New Ask Jim Lewis Thread

    Okay - i'm joining in the fun now. I had held off for a while since i've been away from the forums for a time and wanted to get a bit caught up before i posted anything to be sure i wasn't asking stuff that's well been covered previously...first of all, thanks for doing this - it's one in...

    Jim Henson: Puppeteer and Film Maker

    I can reccomend it - though it's helpful to know what exactly it is so you're not disappointed when you get it. It's part of a series of biographies of famous people from different fields where the first half of the book is devoted to biography and the second half tells the reader ways that...

    Help Me remember which episode had my favorite skit w/Sam the Eagle

    Can't think of any scenes that would match your description, but of the ones not already mentioned (Why Cant We Be Friends sounds close), here's some other possibilities that kinda sorta are close that you may be remembering a bit fuzzily... The opening number from Nancy Walker episode where...

    What song represents you? :D

    You know, as someone who was written at least 100 songs since i was a teen, and many are written to express moods or feelings that i didn't find other existing songs represented at the time, i still would have a hard time pointing to any single one of them saying they represent me just because...

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    Ooh - i love splotches! I call zis one "Cheeken Zoup"! With Gorg heads, one can always recreate scenes of a Gord down hiding under something peering over a hill of down the well at the Fraggles - but of course if they did the opposite and released Gorg lower halfs (legs and feet) you could...

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    Just like the thread for the new muppets.com, am coming to this one later in the game (you can see my commments in that other thread as to why) but at least this way i can comment on different things that have been posted so far and throw out some things that haven't been touched on as much yet...
