    The corny joke thread

    A blonde and a brunette are out hunting, when the brunette trips over a log and hits her head. When she doesn't move or make a sound, the blonde gets very distressed and calls 911 on her cell phone. "Hello, my friend fell down and hit her head, and I think she's dead!" she says when the...

    What is a style guide?

    Painful Moments

    Hmmm. I like the Bruce Forsyth episode... I thought he seemed really natural with the Muppets.

    Stephen Sondheim

    Yeah, me too. I can;t wait to see Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett. After seeing her as Bellatrix in HP, I don't think she can do anything wrong.

    Stephen Sondheim

    I just have to say that Sondheim is my all-time favorite. The man is a genre unto himself. I've been listening to Assassins recently, and I'm surprised all over again by how amazing it is (except for the foul language :smirk: ). I'm also a big fan of Sweeney Todd and Into the Woods, but my...

    This is too much for my English-major brain.

    "The Witches"

    Oh, yeah, I had forgotten that part! I bought in eBay yesterday, and can't wait to watch it for Halloween.

    "The Witches"

    Here's an oldie but rarely-talked about goodie. I love Anjelica Huston in this (okay, so I love her in everything), and the puppetry/costuming of her witch persona is beautifully disgusting. What are your favorite parts of the film?

    So who is Cousin Pam? I don't remember her.

    Painful Moments

    I am glad someone else thought this was pretty bad, too! He sounds nothing like any of 'em. It's really kinda sad. I also cringe several times during the Nureyev episode. He just doesn't seem to get it. It's almost like he is just saying the dialogue without understanding the jokes or...

    That's cool. :)

    Missing Artwork

    Of course, I don't know when that book was published, but could the sketches of recognizable Muppet characters be missing because Disney owns the rights to them now?

    TMS Season 1 Memories and Looking Ahead

    I have mixed feelings about Season 1. You can really see a glimmer of greatness to come, but it all seems so very hokey. The writers and performers had not quite gotten the pitch of many of the characters, and in the first half or so, you can really see that everyone is trying to figure it out...

    Most Entertaining, Disappointing, and Surprising Guest Stars of Season 2

    Alright, ladies and gents, since we've all had a little time to watch and digest TMS season two, I think it is time to start this discussion. :) I don't know how many of you were in the same boat I was, but up until buying the DVD set, I had not seen about half of the S2 episodes, and none of...

    Remember the MC buttons?

    Anyone else remember the buttons that Muppet Central offered a few years back as we were all getting geared up for MuppetFest (it was when we were still on Delphi)? There were a ton of different designs, and you could choose which one you liked best, and send in $2 to Phil and Cindy, and bam...

    Muppet Treasure Island: Buried Treasure

    I've been thinking about this some more, and I haven't changed my mind, but I thought I'd add something else... the one puppet that always did seem weird to me was the orange one with a wedge-shaped chunk cut out of his nose. I never got what the point was of a sliced nose, and it always just...

    Muppet Treasure Island: Buried Treasure

    I know who you are talking about, but I have never seen him as necessarily out of place. He's in MCC, too.

    Your main six

    Okay, call me crazy, but I have never thought of Rowlf as one of the main characters. I know he was a more prominent character through the 80s, but even then he seemed more on par with Janice, Bunsen, Beaker, Swedish Chef, etc., who were kind of the "second string". Actually, I always thought...

    Of monsters and guest stars.

    I'm trying to compile a list of all TMS guest stars who sang and danced with the full-bodied monsters, and any help would be appreciated. :) I'm not talking about simple interaction, but specifically song and/or dance numbers. Here's what I have so far... "Oh Babe What Would You Say"- Kaye...
