    Steve and Jim

    Steve's done a more than respectable job with Kermit. Sure, he'll never surpass the Henson Kermit, but really that shouldn't be what he aims for. I think Jim would have wanted him to forge his own path with the character.

    Many of those mentioned. Of those not mentioned (not that I've seen, at least, I have a soft spot for the ever popular (apparently too popular) "Barbeque."

    I've always considered him a whatever and probably always will, if only because it's a more unique and amusing classification. :concern:

    Another Very Merry Muppet Family Christmas Story

    And last but not least, the big conclusion, with one final surprise cameo... Kermit exhaled softly as he woke up. He glanced sleepily out the window of the front bedroom. The faintest traces of light were creeping into the morning sky (along with the sound of T.R. crowing from the...

    Christmas eve on Sesame Street

    -Oscar being flung out the door and down the stairs -Cookie eating all his writing utensils -several of the theories Kermit comes up with, especially the one with Santa hiding in the laundry room on Thanksgiving -Oscar's gerneral mayhem during "I Hate Christmas;" somehow the sight of him...

    Here's #12: The guns fired, and the bullets came at Alan in slow motion…or was it because something was holding them back? He glanced over Hopper’s shoulders to see Yoda mentally holding the ammunition in midair. “Harm the innocents you will not!” the creature grunted defiantly. “Oh...

    Is Jerry Nelson's voice left intact when his Snuffleupagus is used?

    Another Very Merry Muppet Family Christmas Story

    Here's the wild and crazy "Farmhouse Alone" Chapter 11: “We shouldn’t have run like that,” the Weasel was still grumbling as the Dry Bandits’ truck inched slowly up the lane toward Grizzly Farm, a small convoy of their new hired associates right behind them “I had the diamond right...

    Muppet Treasure Island Discussion Thread

    I find Blind Pew a scream as well. You can tell Jerry Nelson had a great time doing him. Among my favorite moments in this one: -the running rat Caribbean cruise plot -the powder fuse chasing everyone around the basement -Gonzo being stretched out of shape and enjoying it -Sam popping...

    The Great Muppet Caper

    One thing I wondered for a while, where's Henson when Kermit's sitting on the bench with Peter Falk? There doesn't seem to be anywhere visible where he could be hiding (or was that a remote-controlled Kermit with his voice dubbed in later?).

    Another Very Merry Muppet Family Christmas Story

    I may be able to put your minds at ease if I were to tell you that I never really intended while I was writing it for the Gorgs to be seen as villains; rather, as innocents tricked into an insidious scheme by less couth people. Given Pa's obsession with riding the Gorg Empire of Enemies of the...

    animal race

    This one got a lot of air in the late 80s. As I recall, there were 12 entries in the race, which seems to have been a 1,000 meter dash of sorts, including a man and woman, an orange dog, a blue cat, a green ostrich, a purple owl, a white rabbit, and a green parrot among others. It came down...

    Another Very Merry Muppet Family Christmas Story

    Presenting #10: “Attention everyone, can I have your attention please?” the LAX public address announcer tried to say over the din of stranded flyers in the terminal, “Can I have your attention? Would you please pay attention…people, can we have…EVERYONE SHUT UP!” Once the terminal...

    Another Very Merry Muppet Family Christmas Story

    Here's Chapter 9, which I'd say is my favorite one if you'd ask me about it: The Dumpee Garage tow truck slid to a stop outside its headquarters with the Dry Bandits’ truck hooked up to the back. George hopped out of the cab and trudged around to the back. “That’ll be five bucks,” he...

    Hoots in FTB

    I always assumed it was Hoots's brother that was with the Feathered Friends, thus his skepticism coming from whatever Hoots had told him outright about life on the Street.

    Holy Moly! Old School Box Set Details!

    As with the earlier quote on the rights to the pitch reel, who currently does own the rights to it? If Sesame Workshop has it, Kermit's presence shouldn't be a problem. As for Rowlf, I'm not as sure, which makes it a little more disappointing that the Bakers were retired while Henson was still...

    And here's #8: “And we’re coming to you live here on Bear River for the First Annual Christmas Eve hockey game,” the announcer in the loud checkered tuxedo said over his microphone to a non-existent over-the-air audience, “I’m Lewis Kazagger with Luis Rodriguez on color commentary...
