The Smithsonian sponsored exhibit is currently being shown through November 29th at the Michener Museum in Doylestown, PA, so if you've been wanting to see it, that's where you can go in the immediate present. I myself will likely be heading there in the near future, since it's no more than 60...

A sober Chris Farley would have been a special treat. Obviously he wouldn't have been able to come as Matt Foley, but he would have made it an enjoyable show nonetheless, although I can't quite think who he would have played best off of (Oscar perhaps? Or maybe Grover given their similar high...

Nope, I had that record, and it's definitely Gerry Parkes saying it. Now perhaps they did a version for British release with Fulton McKay's vocals, but I haven't heard of the existence of that just yet.

As no doubt many here were as well, I was an intense listener to the record of the 1st season soundtrack back in the day. So I have to wonder, would the JHC ever consider rereleasing it remastered on CD (especially to coincide with the upcoming film)? They'd probably sell quite well.

I wasn't sure which section to put this in; this seemed the most relevant. At any rate, given the long relationship between Henson Associates and HBO in the 80s, I have to wonder how it all started. Thus, would anyone know when and how Henson approached the HBO management to offer his...

I still remember seeing this at recess in 4th grade for the first time. It became quite clear then that "Hello Sunshine" is quite addictive; my classmates and I were immediately enthralled by it as well. The rest of the special's quite good as well. I'd have to say Lugsy's my favorite...

Often in the credits, they have the name Reeves before Teletape. What did Reeves refer to?

An interesting quote there, "perhaps something they tried to do in the 80s." Now if they actually did at some point consider it, THAT would probably rank as one of the ultimate Lost Grails of Muppetdom. Surely if true, they might have had something intriguing in the pipeline. More personally...

Remember this somewhat bizarre one, with a group of aliens being conducted in a strange symphony (including a trumpet-nosed one, a large green blob that jump-cuts to the other side of the screen twice, and a walking banjo), with each piece/musician appearing one at a time until the full symphony...

Just before he goes, Mudwell says to Wembley that "the mud is ready, and it is time," yet moments later he simply lies down and expires without touching the mud, so then, one must wonder, what was the purpose of cooking up the mud in the first place?

I basically started drifting away around 1990-1991 or so (around 3rd-4th grade), for reasons even I can't fully explain; maybe after 8-9 years I was looking for something else, or maybe I was convinced it wouldn't survive losing Jim. I don't really know. There was a brief renaissance period in...

If anyone was watching Friday night, they chose the final scene of Scrooge raising Kermit's salary as the 11th greatest Christmas moment. Granted, it was likely a representative moment of all adaptations of the story, but I had a feeling at least one Muppet holiday moment would make the list...

Are there Rite Aids in Canada? The one in my town was selling it as of yesterday. I've also seen in it K-Mart sometimes, so keep your eyes open in the smaller stores.

Remember the skit popularly known as the "Rube Goldberg Alphabet Contraption?" I dreamt once Ernie and Bert took a walk through that house, and in typical fashion Bert ended up getting zonked by each and every alphabet contraption along the way (e.g., the elephant that pulled down the shade for...

Do we consider Wander McMooch's, um, realm a seperate world as well, or would we consider than technically outside of the Rock per se?

And if not, we then put them through the Ordeal of the Glumberglots.

That makes logical sense. And perhaps not all sections of the Rock touch the surface, so it could extend for miles underground where no human trace of it could be found even with advanced technology. Or perhaps parts of it sprawl into alternate dimensions, which would really ratchet up the...

So then does having the original commercials there confirm ABC was the first network to air it rather than HBO?

Also an alert: this holiday season NBC will have a countdown special celebrating the greatest holiday specials and movies, so we may want to watch that as well; they haven't stated of yet how many programs will be included in the countdown, but especially if its a reasonably large number, odds...

Still, there would be possibilities that could have been explored with Fozzie, particularly if they put him with Oscar, who would make Statler and Waldorf look like Fozzie's fawning admirerers by comparison. :grouchy:
