    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...

    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...

    Edgar Bergen on "The Muppet Show"

    I watched the Edgar Bergen episode a few nights ago and had a question. I noticed that Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd seemed really in character from what I have seen of them before (which is, I admit, not very much), and just wondered: did Mr. Bergen help write their dialogue for the...

    Musical numbers that just don't work.

    What are some of your least favorite musical numbers on The Muppet Show? Most of the show is solid gold (or at least silver in the first season), but there are a few moments every now and then that are just annoying or stupid or too weird to be interesting. Here are the two that leave me cold...

    "Kermit and Cleopigtra"- Mine at last!

    I have finally found an item I've been aching for! Today, my fam and I stopped in a second-hand shop to look around, and I found a perfect edition of Kermit and Cleopigtra for... 99 cents! It is almost mint. The only problems are a little stain where the price sticker came off, a smudge on the...

    "Follow That Bird"

    My sister recently found Follow That Bird on DVD and bought it for me, and all kinds of memories came rushing back. :) This is a movie I loooved as a little kid, and even now, it is as fresh and funny and exciting as ever before. This film is timeless, and was produced right in what I consider...

    "Muppet Show" mentioned in "People" magazine.

    The July 16 edition of People magazine has a full-page tribute to Beverly Sills, with two mentions of TMS. One is just a mention in the article that she guest starred on the show, but the other is way cool: Of the two pictures on the page, one is of Ms. Sills performing and the other is of her...

    Muppets songs on "Pirates" CD

    This is pretty crazy, I know, but I'm a library clerk, and today I came across a children's CD entitled Pirates of the Caribbean: Swashbuckling Sea Songs. It is produced by Disney and is an official, authentic movie tie-in product. The track list includes several songs about pirates, including...

    My Mom.

    Well, a few days ago, I announced that my sister is going to have a baby... and now, I have some news from the other end of the spectrum. Yesterday, my Mom had a much-anticipated hysterectomy. Everything went well (they took everything they were going to take and left everything they were...

    My big news.

    Well, ladies and gents, it is official. Come February, yours truly will be a first time uncle! My sister and her husband announced around Father's Day that they are expecting their first child. The way they told us was really sweet. They gave my Dad a card that said "Happy Father's Day...

    Muppets galore at KMart: stickers, T-shirts, gift bags, Father's Day card!

    I was in KMart earlier today with my Mom and found a treasure trove of Muppet merchandise! They had three different Muppet gift bags: a huuuge one with Kermit, a slightly smaller one with Piggy, and a regular sized one with Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, and Camilla. They also had gift wrap...

    Guest stars who were co-stars

    The Muppets have worked with so many awesome stars over the years, that there's a nice little web spun through Hollywood. Almost every big star of the '70s and '80s (and a whole lot from the '90s and '00s) has worked with the Muppets at one time or another.... and then they went on and worked...

    Is there a Linda Ronstadt CD....

    ....with both "Blue Bayou" and "When I Grow Too Old to Dream"? These two songs are two of my favorite TMS numbers of all time, I'd love to have Linda's original recordings of them, and the fewer CDs I have to buy, the better!

    The Muppet Show: Season 6

    Here is my fantasy roster for a sixth season of The Muppet Show. Now, if there had been a sixth season, it would have spanned 1981-1982, so the stars here are from that "era" (for the most part... I might have slipped up with a couple). Episode 601: Dick van Dyke Episode 602: Angela Lansbury...

    Pirates 3: What did you think? (SPOILER ALERT)

    My bro, my cousin, and I went to see Pirates 3 this morning, and it was quite awesome. I thought it tied the first too films together very nicely (more serious than the first, more fun than the second). I'll type more later, but I don't have much time now. I can't wait to hear what everyone...

    Pictures of Sideshow Busts

    Can anybody show me some pictures of the Sideshow busts? I cannto find them on the MC collectibles guide, and Muppet Wikia is no help at all. Not that I could afford any of them, I just want to see what they look like!

    Muppet T-Shirt Watch

    First off, no, this is not a thread about a T-shirt that tells time. Instead, I thought it might be a good idea to start a "watch" thread so that we can alert each other to cool Muppet t-shirts as we find them. So, to kick off... At Kohl's yesterday, my brother found an "Electric Mayhem...
