I've enjoyed re-reading this thread and all the wonderful memories you've all shared about seeing The Muppets in theatres - thanks, everybody! I think we'll all look back fondly on this uniquely special movie-going experience, and we have the Muppets to thank for that. My wife and I, both...

With all the hubbub over Fox News vs. The Muppets ("don't forget to mention the evil oil baron!" - Fozzie) I found myself flashing back to an official Muppet Parodies T-shirt (purchased in 1996) that featured a surprisingly political punchline - one that still rings true today! The front...

KingR76, you simultaneously have my envy and my sympathy. I'm really sorry about your picture but, conversely, I think you're truly blessed to have met and gotten autographs from Steve Whitmire and Eric Jacobsen, who both sounded like complete and total gentlemen. It's amazing that they could...

Nice to meet you! Also cool to see Floyd has a "resident fangirl" on these boards - he deserves one! (I knew you were being sarcastic BTW...just felt like throwing Floyd some props, that's all.)

Oh, come on, Floyd is cool. He delivered one of my all-time favourite Muppet Show lines in the Kaye Ballard episode about the band going on strike: "If I didn't know I was such a genius, I wouldn't listen to the trash I write." Floyd epitomizes the old comedic maxim that sometimes it's all in...

Agreed. Given Rowlf's early roles as a comic persona (particularly in the Jimmy Dean days) it's interesting to think about how much people gravitate to that friendly, gravelly singing voice. And it's so versatile, whether handling humourous numbers like "You and I and George" or the more serious...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUPPET CENTRAL!!! As a "long-time listener, first-time caller" type, I'm very happy to see this forum doing so well and being so active. As a moderator of a MAD Magazine forum (www.madmumblings.com) I know what it's like to see a Web site dedicated to a still-thriving "classic"...

I still have the Fisher-Price Rowlf puppet that the Easter Bunny brought me (along with the usual array of chocolate eggs) in 1981, when I was eight...He accompanied me and my wife, and the Christian youth group we run, to a December showing of The Muppets and has brought me much joy over the...

Isn't it great that most of the requests on this "wish-list" thread have actually been granted in The Muppets? :cool: VERY COOL! That being said...The concept of more Muppet TV specials was mentioned early on and I'd like to line up for that one. There's absolutely no reason why ABC couldn't...

Oh man, that's fabulous. PERFECT response to an absolutely ridiculous tempest-in-a-teapot from the good folks at Faux News! I would be happy with that even on the long-shot premise that Kermit's and Piggy's responses were pre-written and rehearsed to the umpteenth degree in the event that the...

My apologies for being late to the party - my wife and I have now seen, and loved, The Muppets twice (including opening-weekend) but I wanted to wait until things finally opened up for me on a work, personal and overall scheduling level to join this AMAZING forum and share my thoughts. As a...

I would honestly watch the entire Academy Awards just to see "Man or Muppet" done live, especially with such a strong possibility that this will finally bring the Muppets their well-deserved first Oscar (after the guy in the trash can, that is)... Even though it's ostensibly "just Jason Segel...
