    pick 3 celebrities for fraggle movie

    My top choices would probably be: -Macaulay Culkin -Tony Shalhoub -Catherine O'Hara And although I don't know if he can act, for some reason Donovan McNabb stands out, perhaps because he cuts a family-friendly image (although if they got creative they could run with it; perhaps...

    Another Very Merry Muppet Family Christmas Story

    With the holidays now upon us, I figured I'd revive this one for everyone's viewing pleasure, so enjoy it again for Christmas.

    IAVMMCM - Thoughts?

    I really enjoyed it. It shows the magic's still there if any choose to look for it. It was nice to see the focus go back on Kermit after they'd drifted a bit away from him for a while, and the frog shows his full range as an actor, so to speak. Somehow the world without him does have a bit of...

    Which Puppeteers to return in "Fraggle Rock" movie

    What's Cheryl Wagner been doing recently, if we're discussing who could do Gorgs if they're used?

    Zappa says Fraggle film will rock

    A few years ago when I was in college, one of my associates used the "punk" version for a piece in the university's annual film festival. It proved to be one of the parts the audience liked the most. I agree with much of the sentiment expressed so far; as long as they don't go overboard...

    I miss A Muppet Family Chirstmas

    I think most of us would enjoy a TV airing of it somewhere; about 2 years ago I e-mailed ABC Family to put it on (and any other of the specials we've come to love they could) during the 25 Days of Christmas block. No response got back to me, although when dealing with a large network like they...

    So, Is everyone Happy with the Job BrianHenson is doing with the company?

    I'm fairly satisfied. It's important to keep in mind that he's not perfect and can't turn every project into touchdowns, but what he has succeeded at so far has been fairly impressive. So give him credit.

    I'd have to go with Rainbow Connection. There's just more magic to it.

    The Doozers' noses

    I don't remember seeing ones in blue helmets, or maybe they're just a minority compared to the yellows and pinks. As for the pink/yellow nose scheme, my guess is probably that it was simple design esthetics, that they contrasted best with the characters' green hues.

    Let's talk Doozers

    Truthfully when I was young the Doozer-centric episodes were the least interesting ones to me (exceptions being when one of the Fraggles interacted with a Doozer character throughout the show). They're enjoyable characters in their own right, but much as like with Slimer, too much can be too...

    Anyone else remember this sketch?

    And actually after watching that one I realize there were two of them after all. The other has the colored circles arranged in a circle (on the green background I mentioned in my previous post) as black lines connect them bit by bit eventually forming a web in the center. A wedge of each...

    Anyone else remember this sketch?

    I do remember it well. There was a time when I thought there was a slightly different version as well where the colored circles appear one at a time--on a black background rather than a green one--before they get subdivided, but I think that was just my imagination. Does anyone know if the...

    John Denver & The Muppets: A Christmas Together DVD

    Maybe we'll luck out with it one of these days (don't count on the SW special hitting stores, though, given how much Lucas dislikes it--which, given its shoddy production design, I can't blame him for)

    Muppet Family Christmas: Official Talkback Forum

    That's the version I got over the summer. But at least there's no picture problems, so at least whoever put it together made a good transfer.

    the rise and fall of Emily Bear

    Seeing how Fozzie's mother was a semi-major player in the late 80s and early 90s, do you suppose they were intending on making her a major character, and if so why do you suppose her appearances then tapered off so abruptly?
