Okay, ladies and gents, I'm on spring break here in the good ol' South, and today I had the opportunity to visit the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, Georgia. And it was AMAZING. In their permanent collection, they have original Link and Strangepork puppets as well as a full-body Skeksis...

Yes, you read correctly. This is the appreciation thread for Betsy Bird-- our feminine feathered friend whose time on The Muppet Show was all too brief. She was a pretty awesome character, though, with some amazing high kicks to prove it. So what do you love to remember and remember loving...

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I have taken it upon myself to list and categorize all 122 guest stars of The Muppet Show, and I have here the results! Yes, I know, I have no life, but I thought it would be interesting to see it all on paper. So I went to Muppet Wiki and went through the list of...

On the "Stargazing" page of today's Kansas City Star, there is an excerpt from a Variety interview with Jorge Garcia (Hurley on Lost). One of the questions they asked him was "Who is your inner Muppet?" And his answer? Sweetums! The Star fills in the gaps for non-Muppet fans by describing...

I know it's a little late, but Roscoe Orman was on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit last night. He was only in it for about two minutes at the very beginning, but I was like, "Hey, it's Gordon!" the second he appeared. :) For those of you who don't know, Law & Order: SVU always opens with an...

I don't know much about Benazir Bhutto, but she seemed to be one of the good guys. Here's the story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/makingamartyrofbhutto http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071227/wl_nm/pakistan_world_dc http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071227/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_pakistan She seems...

Who's your favorite? Doc Hopper Nicky Holiday Carla, Marla, and Darla Long John Silver K. Edgar Singer Rachel Bitterman And, I guess, Ebenezer Scrooge... although I don't really think of him as a villain, but I suppose for the sake of argument I'll include him. :)

This blogger made his own list of the top 25 Christmas movies, and Muppet Christmas Carol is #13. He calls it the second best Christmas Carol adaptation ever (after Scrooged). He doesn't say much about the movie, but I thought everyone'd be glad that it made the list... unofficial as it may be...

Remember that great cartoon of yesteryear, Doug? As a kid, I really only ever got to know the Disney version (as opposed to the Nickolodeon version). It was a great show. Honk honk!

I was wondering if anybody knows whether or not we can expect some new Muppet Christmas cards this Christmas season. I saw Muppet Easter, Father's Day, and birthday cards this year, so I'm hoping for some Christmas or New Year's as well. :)

I don't know if this is a post for the merchandise board or for here, so I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong place. :) I was just wondering if It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie is currently available on DVD. I know that it was available at one time, and I'm sure I could track it down on eBay...

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I think it would be nice if for this special day, we all counted our blessings and tell everyone what we are thankful for. :) I am thankful for the opportunity to be with my mom's extended family for Thanksgiving for the first time in four years. I am thankful...

Who do you think is cutest: Bean Bunny or Robin the Frog?

I don't know if you've ever used the Halloween menu before, but this is the first time I have ever seen it, and it is GREAT. Very clever, very creative, and I really like highlighting the Muppet monsters! Mega cheers from me! :flirt: :D :excited:

I love Halloween and always have. I've hosted or co-hosted a big party two years running, and this year it is looking bigger than ever. :) Anyway, I'm just curious about everyone else's Halloween plans. What are you going to be? What are you going to do? This year, I'm going to be a mummy. I'm...

In one of the Vet's Hospital sketches in season one (sorry, I can't remember which episode), Janice says that she was late because she "was operating in the other room." Dr. Bob replies, "I know, it's the talk of the hospital!" Now, I've always seen this joke as rather risque... as in, I took...

Hey gang, The Muppet Movie is the answer to today's trivia clue on IMDB. The clue is "This film is dedicated 'to the memory and magic of Edgar Bergen.'" Not earthshattering, I know, but I thought it was fun. :)

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...

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?

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...
