Sorry for taking so long to reply everybody, I wanted to make sure that all the refunds had been processed before making any official announcements. Frogs, Hogs, Weirdos and What-nots will not be released at the end of March as planned. No new release date has been set as of yet, but the book...

I'm afraid the avatar connection is just co-incidence, although I'm a fan of Doctor Who and know a lot of the folks who hang around in places like GB. I used to write and produce shorts for Tachyon TV, if that means anything to you!

Just a quick note to confirm some of my recent interviewees for the book; Bill Barretta, Brian Meehl and Muppet Show sound man Tedd Scott. Things are still on track for a late March release date.

I managed to grab the last couple of rolls in my local branch yesterday. Glad to see how well the Muppet wrapping was selling in comparison to the other Disney stuff!

Hi there. I don't think anybody has ever said "Wow!! You're Drew Smith?" to me before so thanks for that :) As of today, the book costs $21.16 from my publisher. That's linked to exchange rates, so may change for better or worse as the date of publication approaches. Don't forget to check out...

Sorry to bump this thread, but I thought that some of you may be interested to know that I can now confirm that both Muppet Show directors Peter Harris and Philip Casson have been extensively interviewed for the book. You may also be interested to know that they are both lovely.

Thanks for the heads up!

I bet people would be even more interested if I could correctly type you're in my forum posts. Sorry j3h!

Thanks, I hope it lives up to your expectations! If your keen to pre-order, you can do so via my publisher's online store (linked above). They ship worldwide and, if you click the little widget in the corner, will convert the price to dollars. Also - The Muppetcast page features an exclussive...

I guess it's time to come clean! Some of you may have recently heard a slightly nervous English guy on the Muppetcast disccussing his new book, a complete Muppet history intended to update and expand upon the pioneering work featured in classic tomes like Of Muppets and Men and The Works. I am...

Facinating profile of Langham in last Sunday's issue of The Guardian's G2 supplement. Obviously, discression is advised as the article does cover his court case. LINK

Thanks guys and remember, "Sillyness isn't just for Jerry Juhl Day. It's for life." It has been far too long since I danced along a wall like a kid!

Sorry that it didn't show up for you. Here's another link: http://tinyurl.com/6jrmdlr

It really doesn't feel like he has been gone six years. Here is my contribution to proceedings: What will you be doing today?

Lionsgate have a new R2 release of Emmett Otter scheduled for November. It'll be interesting to see which edit makes it out this time!

I was hoping to get in touch with Earl in relation to a project I am currently working on and only yesterday I decided to reread his Muppet Central posts by way of research - what sad, strange timing. What comes across when reading "Was Once Ernie"'s posts is that, despite having a career that...

It is horrible to have to emerge from an extended period of lurking to post something like this, but it has just this afternoon been anounced that Earl Kress, known to this community as "Was Once Ernie", has passed away after a battle with cancer. His friend Mark Evanier broke the news here.

Audio commentaries are at the top of my list - and the return of pop-up trivia! Plus America deserves an official DVD release of Of Muppets and Men.

Very excited about this one. I think A Verry Merry Muppet Christmas was the best thing the Muppets had done in a long time so I'm feeling optimistic here. I just hope it gets a UK airing.

We are usually up to six months behind the American release schedule. If you can, I would recomend getting the R1 edition.
