    Favorite one-shot Muppet skits

    Too many! Too many to choose from! Off the top of my head, I just adore 'The Windmills of Your Mind'. It's a great example of a serious song being thoroughly muppified. Also, 'What Now My Love' is a favorite of mine. It's classic Piggy coming into her own. And the transforming whatnots...

    Amazing Interview with Jim Henson

    Wow. What a brilliant, brilliant man. "I'd hate to see us lose the big screen, you know, I'd hate to ever see that go." Me too, Jim! Pinkflower, were you able to find/watch this? I have this problem where I can't see embedded vids on this forum using Explorer. I have to use Chrome or...

    Random Thoughts: Season Two of TMS

    One of the great questions of our time, apparently! Probably, I should go add it to the thread about what we would ask Jim if we had the chance. :) I just had to go read the AV Club's take on it, since you mentioned it. They say the joke was too good to be improvised; I disagree. It's such...

    Muppet Convention Thread #2: Where Should it be Held?

    That's ok. We've got panman keeping score. :-)

    Random Thoughts: Season Two of TMS

    One of my favorites. "Modulate!" "What's that?" "You did it!" "Thank you! Whatever!" Do you think that "hatless" was improvised? I think it must have been. You can hear Jim's laugh in Rowlf's voice when he sets Frank up for the obvious joke. Fozzie going "what?" as if Frank was giving...

    Muppet Convention Thread #2: Where Should it be Held?

    I think we definitely need to look into Greenville. I'm also partial to MD, but just because it would be closer to home for me. :-)

    Muppet Convention

    How about if you make a short list of possible sites for this thing--Greenville, Baltimore (is it Baltimore or elsewhere in MD?), maybe Atlanta? Because of the Center for Puppetry Arts or whatever they call it? And then assign each location to one (willng and enthusiastic) person to research...

    Who is your favorite member of the Fraggle 5?

    Heh heh heh, love it. :D That's what's so great about ensemble casts. Everyone has somebody to appreciate, and everyone is bound to be appreciated by someone! Look how evenly the votes are distributed up there. It's cool. Really surprised Red only has one vote, though. Granted, that's...

    The Muppets win four 2012 Webby Awards

    The Muppets win the internet! AGAIN! Speech for the Mahna Mahna Phenomena: MM: Mahna mahna Snowths: Doo doo doo--. It would drive everybody crazy. :crazy:

    Muppet Convention

    I . . . just had this mental image of somebody renting a big, tacky bus in Florida, and then driving up the coast, picking up fans as it went along. And everybody sings Movin' Right Along all the way to New York (or wherever). If y'all are serious about this, you might want to try to involve...

    Who is your favorite member of the Fraggle 5?

    Aw, you're just jealous because Red didn't get to be the leader. :coy: But seriously, I know what you mean. Poor Gobo, he's the closest thing the show has to a main character, but he's just not as lovable as the others most of the time. Has his moments, though. For some reason, I always...

    Who is your favorite member of the Fraggle 5?

    Boober, always. But having just finished the series for the first time (after marinating in S1 for years and sloooowly working my way through the rest), I now have to say that Wembley is a VERY close second.

    Video: "Muppets, Mayhem and More" by the Mars Hill Bible School Show Choir

    That was wonderful! Great, great job. I thought Cookie Monster and Ernie were particularly convincing. :) I'd like to meet the person who put that show together. Clearly, he or she is one of us.

    Is there an overrated/underrated Muppet production?

    This is all subjective, of course. I see MFS has already been covered, so I don't have to come to its defense. :) What about Muppets Tonight? Outside of the fandom, no one even seems to remember that show existed. It had some big guest stars, some great new characters, some laugh-out-loud...

    Hubert...you borrowed an Uncle Deadly! Cool! ;-)

    If you could ask...

    I completely agree with the crying like a baby part. That's pretty much a given. And then I'd like to know if he understands just how much he and his creations mean to so many people. He brought so much love into the world, and I've always hoped that he knew that before he died, and that he...

    The Matt Vogel Appreciation Thread

    Matt's incredible. I just love the work he's doing with SS and the Muppets. I'd expound on individual characters, but then I'd be here all day, because he's amazing at all of them! Also, he seems like he's having a lot of fun, which makes me happy. I will say that he made me like a version...

    Best song sung by the Fraggle 5

    I've always been partial to Workin'. I also like The Rock Goes On. Because of what it is, and because the filming of it is shown in Down at Fraggle Rock, it always kind of sums up Fraggle life for me, both on and off camera. But then it's also in the next-to-last episode, which automatically...

    Change of Address

    May I expand this thread a bit to talk about the episodes leading up to the end? I don't quite want to start a new thread when this one's right here, but let me know if I should. I'm watching S4-5 for the first time (unless I saw it when I was a kid; don't remember) lately. I've had S1 on...
