    Top Annoying Misnaming People Do

    Speaking of misnaming, I once watched the Columbia/Tristar version of TMM on DVD with the subtitles on (to clarify misheard lines). And the subtitle-makers goofed: When Kermit talks to Lew Zealand ("I told you, Lew..."), the subtitles misname him as "Luke." Looks like I'm not the only one...

    Performers' Successors Questions

    I am sorry if this thread is poorly timed, but I have two questions regarding the recasting of Muppet characters (Sesame, TMS, or otherwise). I have been noticing a pattern regarding these recasts: With a few exceptions, it is common knowledge that Eric Jacobson has acquired most of the Frank...

    1989? Pull-String Talking Big Bird Info

    Hello. I want some more information on a pull-string talking Big Bird doll from around 1989. All I have is a home video of me recieving one on Christmas that year at the age of 1. Here's what I know so far: Big Bird is about 24" tall The two phrases I can remember (on the video) include...

    Muppets you wish would come back!

    I was going to say the Fletcher Bird, but one question-- Is Mr. Fletcher still alive? That bird would be nothing without Mr. Fletcher's fancy footwork, IMHO.

    The Beauregard Thread--For Everybody Who Didn't Get A Joke

    In the "Scarborough Fair" number of the Paul Simon episode, the Sherrif of Nottingham (Link) arrests Paul for "Playing a lute without a license." How could he be arrested for just playing a musical intrument?

    The Beauregard Thread--For Everybody Who Didn't Get A Joke

    In an early Season 1 episode of TMS, Kermit says "Think about this, folks." and drinks a glass of milk (with a straw, of course). I've though about it and still don't get it (though I have a vague idea of how they got Kermit to drink the milk).

    Did You Know...

    Someone once said (in another thread) that Piggy was actually patterned after Peggy Lee, that if you added pig ears and a snout to a photo of Miss Lee she'd resemble the original Piggy puppet. Not sure if this is true or not.

    Muppets you wish would come back!

    Marvin Suggs had an appearance in the 2011 movie if I am not mistaken (he had a line in the closing song). Don't know about the others.

    Drawing "new" Muppet Babies

    RE-RELEASE the first season of THE MUPPET SHOW!

    While they're at it, the folks at the Mouse House should see if they can hunt down a copy of the 10-minute crew gag reel that was posted on YouTube recently and include it as a bonus feature. http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/youtube-never-before-seen-muppet-show-footage-surfaces.49743/

    Whose Legs HAVEN'T We Seen?

    While most of the major Muppet characters have been seen with legs on occasion--whether it be on screen or in merchandising--there are some characters who have NOT been seen with legs. I am trying to populate a list of these characters.

    Anyone else tired of seeing Animal with pink hair?

    I think the lighting has some influence as to whether we percieve his hair as pink or red. But I also think it has to do with what materials the workshop has available, right?

    Why isn't Skeeter a Muppet?

    One more question--if the cancelled series Muppets High was further developed to the point where it eventually hit the airwaves, would Skeeter be present in the cast like she is in MB?

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    Muppet Tap Drum Kit???

    Yesterday I was browsing a second-hand music shop and I found a fragment for a box for a "Muppet Sound" Tap Drum Kit. I don't have a picture, but the words "Muppet Sound" was in the same font as the TMS logo (with Kermit's head coming out of the "O" in "sound." There is also an illustration of...
