    How did Jim come out in the puppets he performed?

    Oh absolutely. Actually that reminds me, last Autumn I was watching a late night benefit at The Trafalgar Studios Theatre in London, this particularly benefit featured various members of the company of the West End production of Mary Poppins, plus a "surprise special guest", the latter turned...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 3

    Well although it was about 25 years after the time of TMS itself, I would be inclind to include the BBC's documentary 'I Love The Muppets'. Just that one though, but none of the other more recent documentaries. That one was specifically focussed on TMS, and featured several members of the TMS 8.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 3

    It's definately Frank Oz puppeteering Annie Sue on Carbon Paper. About six years ago (back in November 2002), someone brought this up on one of the Muppet forums (possibly here on Muppet Central, or maybe over on TP). Well by around the same time The Discovering Lost Musicals Charitable Trust...

    The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson and Jim Henson's death parralells

    Well I hadn't noticed, but now you mention it, good point. I think it's highly likely to have been intentionally. The Muppets have had a strong tendency to incorporate parallels into their work. Occassionally this has been a bit unintentional as in the Nancy Walker episode of TMS. However...

    Liking the Muppets "geeky"?

    Here Here. Yes sure it may be a little geeky to be as throughly into it as some of us are. But what's wrong with that, if it's not causing any harm, and in fact on the contrary, it's reminding people of just what high quality entertainment TMS was. The fact that it really does endure and still...

    Who performed these characters?

    In what Season of Seame Street, or in what year, was the sketch 'Mother Hubbard's Heist'? can anyone tell me? I'm wondering because that's one of the ones I haven't got on my list of Louise's Sesamr credits (I know my little list probably has lots of gaps). So I'd really like to know more...
