Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
I'm confused... help! I saw the "50th Anniversary Celebration" show with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and it's available on DVD. But I want to see the one with puppeteer interviews, which sounds like "50 Years and Still Sunny." Has it come out on DVD, is it available anywhere else? I was wondering if...
My wife and I saw the Friday and Saturday shows. It was great fun to see the performers live on stage, and I'm so glad they went Avenue Q style and let us see the puppeteers (though sometimes shrouded). The second show was better, with more ad-libbing and responding to the audience.
Matt did a...
Very cool. I meant to say, "I hope they got a curtain call after the live stream ended," and they did! Now... can we see please them in Behind the Scenes footage, too? :)
That was very cool. I actually liked that you could see hints of the puppeteers- this is live puppetry after all, and the human touch is what sets it apart from, say, animation. I only wish it could have ended with acknowledgement of the puppeteers. In the Disney era, the puppeteers don't get...
And here's my write-up about the whole exhausting, inspiring day!

We met Abby Cadabby and spotted Steve Whitmire and sat behind Brian Henson and... and... and...!
I doubt his departure has anything to do with Murray. He of all people knows that characters come and go. If the Head Writer of the show says he's fighting for the "heart and soul of the show," then it has something to do with educating kids, whether it's the format or curriculum or distribution...
I'm about to get on a plane to Atlanta to attend the museum opening. Can't wait to see the new museum- not just the puppets but how they're presented... and just being around Muppet fans in general. Yayyyyy (Kermit arms flailing) yyyyy!
Thanks to frequent flier miles, I'll be there for the opening tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing it with my fellow Muppet fans. My wife will be there humoring me too. :)
I saw the movie yesterday at an advance screening. No spoilers from me, of course- I'm just glad that I don't have to dodge spoilers all week!
Reading the "professional" reviews shows just about every possible opinion on the spectrum. All I can say to my fellow Muppet fans is don't overthink...
You put it perfectly! This is great because it's the Muppets being themselves, doing funny crazy stuff, and then getting outta there before the joke wears thin. More Muppisodes!
Muppetationally sensational! I'm glad to hear from Rizzo, missing Pepe, seeing too much of boring Walter... but loving the Muppety-ness of the whole thing.
Much better! I was hoping they'd change the title, and "Most Wanted" lends itself to interesting imagery for posters and teasers and whatnot: prison bars and police lights and characters hiding. Much more dynamic than... Again.
When I met Jane briefly at Muppetfest, she was gracious, even though I was umpteenth fan to seek her out. She was a class act and will be missed. The Henson family is in our thoughts today.
TMZ is really stupid... but I pretty much knew that already.
I've been nervous about seeing and hearing the new Elmo, but this really makes me feel better about it. Ryan does the voice well and has Elmo doing very Elmo-y things. Put the character into context on the Sesame Street set, and it...
I'm unimpressed so far. Maybe I'll get more excited about this project when it becomes clear what exactly the Doozers are doing, like what the stories will be about. I don't mind an alternate universe reboot kind of thing, as long as there's a point to it.
If it's cool (and it gets played in...
