I recommend the free DVD viewing software VLC. It's available for 19 different operating systems and plays my Region 2 DVDs from England without a hitch. It's a simple install, too!

That's cool. I got to meet Bear (Noel) several years ago in Atlanta at the Center for Puppetry Arts when the show was at the height of its popularity. My good friend, Peter, is the puppeteer for Tutter and invited my sister and me to the event.
I have all 15 “Best of the Muppet Show” DVDs sold by Time-Life that are no longer being produced. While they are all out of shrinkwrap, most of them have never been removed from their cases, so they practically new. I am willing to sell them for $5 each, but would prefer to sell the whole set...
I've already got all 15 DVDs, but was looking for a link for my friend and a search for "muppet" turned up nothing on Time-Life's website. Perhaps since Disney now has the rights to the property, TL was obligated to take them down.
Anybody know?
I was just reading some movie news at Ain't It Cool News and happened upon this piece. In it, Jim Hill of JimHillMedia.com says that the Henson children's decision to sell the MUPPETS to Disney was not for the money, but rather because they were forced into taking over their father's company...
My mom watches Dr. Phil regularly and told me about this. I had just walked in the door from work when they came on. It was a cute little segment and Drs. Phil and Feel had a funny dialogue similar to "Abbott & Costello".
Here's a little piece on the segment from Dr. Phil's website.

As for Boober...
A friend of mine from summer camp who has worked for Henson and in various other puppet ventures in the past is currently working on this show. I believe he is a member of the chorus. Here's his IMDb filmography:

Speaking of Mastecards and Muppets, is there a credit card featuring the Muppets? Only reason I ask is because there are theme credit cards everywhere now (my Capital One card features Van Gogh's "Starry, Starry Night"). If there's not one, there needs to be one.
When Jim Henson died, the guy that drew the political cartoons for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution drew a cartoon which featured a very sad looking Cookie Monster sitting in a chair next to a table piled high with cookies. A man standing next to a woman nearby said to her, "He hasn't touched...
I got to visit this place back in 1996 when I took a trip to NYC with my high school drama club. I have a friend who is a puppeteer (he does Tutter on Bear in the Big Blue House and is currently doing AVENUE Q on Broadway) and was working for JHC at the time and he arranged for me and my mom to...
For my first post, I will say, "Shouldn't it be called the Hollywood Wokk of fame?"
Wokka! Wokka!:)
No seriously, congrats to all involved with the Muppets! It's about time!
