    Junior Gorg's missing head

    I still wonder how they accomplished that effect. Do you suppose it could have been a specially built Junior puppet or a blue screen effect or some other technical manner?

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Two animated sketches overtly frightened me. One was the "Adventure" sketch with its overly dramatic music and perils that really do put 4 year olds as I was to fear (being in raging rapids with staving crocodiles isn't exactly something you'd sleep easy seeing), so much so that I'd always turn...

    Updated Put Down The Duckie

    Among the things that popped into my mind on this are: -a enraged-looking Bob Knight tossing Rubber Duckie away during the "send it flying on a rocket" line -at one point or another Tony Shalhoub in character as Adrian Monk taking R.D. and giving it a good scrubbing down with his medicated...

    Very Merry Muppet Christmas quote

    Can anyone tell me what was the exact line said by the leader of the Who lynch mob after she initally says to Fozzie, "It's him, the one who stole Christmas and ruined all our wishes!" It sounds like something along the lines of how the actual Grinch made her uncle angry by taking Christmas...

    Another Very Merry Muppet Family Christmas Story

    Chapter 10 has now been posted.

    Another Very Merry Muppet Family Christmas Story

    With the lack of general admission (apart from the unsolicited negative review from some guy who wanted to "flame" me as I think the parlance goes) that the story's out there so far, I'd certainly take any chance to spread it around more, and if that's by this way, so be it, and thus thank you...

    Another Very Merry Muppet Family Christmas Story

    I was going to wait until I was completely finished this before posting it (as of this typing I'm about 2/3s there), but upon the advice of one of the few people to review it so far, I figured I've got nothing to lose by doing so. Anyway, how do you top Muppet Family Christmas? Well, I don't...

    foreign characters on main show

    Have any characters from international productions (Abelardo, Zeliboba, etc.) ever appeared on the original show to anyone's knowledge?

    Israeli-Palestinian Battles Intrude on 'Sesame Street'

    It's good to know they still intend to try to bend the children's minds to good in spite of complete insanity. While I honestly doubt complete peace will ever come to the region for a sustainable period, if they can help the leaders of tomorrow learn a better way, we might see a little bit of a...

    Muppet Family Christmas: Official Talkback Forum

    I agree with whoever mentioned it earlier in this thread that it's surprising that Telly doesn't seem to be present for the festivities, especially given that by this point he was well on his way to becoming a major character. Perhaps he was too worried by reports of the snowstorm and decided...

    The Great Muppet Caper

    I always wondered where they landed after the end credits finished. With their luck they probably landed well short of North America and had to swim to shore.

    The Great Muppet Caper

    This is the Muppet film I knew best when I was young. The special effects are spectacular, especially when they're all riding their bikes together in the park with no visible means of support. Among my favorite moments: -Animal roaring like the MGM lion in the opening shot and eating his...

    the best Dinosaurs TV parodies

    Which of the various mock shows seen on the show did you like the best? Mine's definitely Ask Mr. Lizard; when they originally aired, I would spend the entire weekend repeating, "We're going to need another Timmy!" Second place would go to Triceracops (both in its regular violent format and...

    The Muppets at Walt Disney World

    Any word on any possible release? You would think Disney would be eager to get this one out. :zany:

    Fraggle Rock songs

    Most of the series's songs were written by Philip Balsam and Dennis Lee.

    Forgetful Jones does Oklahoma?

    This one always had me in stitches. I also liked the similar version where Kermit tries to direct Forgetful to go through the doors of a saloon, but Forgetful instead goes first AROUND the doors, then UNDER them, and then OVER them (almost killing himself in the process), and Kermit's having a...

    note with Christmas Eve on Sesame Street credits

    Having received a long-awaited copy of the special from E-bay the other night, I noticed while watching it again for the first time in 15 years that Richard Hunt is credited for Muppeteering during the opening, yet none of his regular characters appear in the special as far as I could see. Would...

    An Idea Dinosaurs Should Have Used

    Intriguing. I'm not sure, but it might have worked, especially considering the copyrights probably would have been lined up right at that point in time. On the other hand, since many of the main dinosaurs were green, viewers might not have realized in the 5 seconds or so the JHP logo was on...

    Don Music without Kermit

    I vaguely can recall one Don Music segment that went like a usual one, only it was someone other than Kermit assisting him in getting the song done. Does this ring a bell with anyone, or am I imagining it?

    New Christmas Toy DVD soon?

    Why 2009? Do their rights to it expire then?
