    Kermit the Frog makes illegal move on German television

    ....and then, and then the head of German broadcasting, who happens to be a hard-nosed son of a gun with a grudge against amphibians, has Kermit arrested until such time as he can pay an exorbitant fine--one million euros! The Muppets don't have that kind of money because they have a LOT of...

    Favorite Muppet Couples

    If I may jump into the Fraggle world, I have to cast a vote for Ma and Pa Gorg. They may not be perfect....okay, they're really, really not perfect. But how sweet is it that they've been married for five hundred and thirteen years and are still completely nutty about each other?

    Your Thoughts: Jim Henson's Musical World at Carnegie Hall

    Would you happen to have audio of the Fraggles' part? If so, I would love, love, love to hear it! Actually, I'd love to see/hear anything you have. Those of us who weren't there are kind of desperate, you understand. :-)

    Muppeteer Look-a-likes

    The world is full of Dave Goelzes. Apparently, he looks like everybody's dad/grandpa. I've done lots of double takes at strangers who look weirdly like him. I think if I ever did see him walking down the street, I'd never believe it was actually him and not a look-alike.

    What Fraggle songs really touch you?

    The first one that comes to mind is "Let Me Be Your Song." It makes my feet itch (um, not literally). It makes me want to wander. It makes me want to be able to sing (can't). I guess it makes me want to be a minstrel. And I want that magic pipe, too!

    Is The New Fraggle Rock Movie Such a good Idea?

    I feel like a Fraggle movie would stand one chance in a hundred of living up to the greatness of the show. After so much time, and with a whole different studio in charge, there are just too many factors. Would they even use puppets? If they did, would they try to get the original performers...

    What are your favorite Fraggle Rock episodes?

    I've just watched The River of Life and Gone But Not Forgotten for the first time over the past couple of days. And I am so amazed and awed at the gravitas and sheer emotion in those episodes. Those episodes of a kids' show. Those episodes of a kids' show with puppets. As a lifelong Muppet...

    Your Thoughts: Jim Henson's Musical World at Carnegie Hall

    That's just the best. God bless John Tartaglia! Of course, now I'm wondering what the Henson Company wanted a Wembley for. Mystery upon mystery!

    Your Thoughts: Jim Henson's Musical World at Carnegie Hall

    Oh thank you, thank you, thank you for finding and posting that! They look and sound fabulous. :coy::excited: Yay for Wembley! I wonder if they rebuilt him especially for this concert? Would they do that?

    Your Thoughts: Jim Henson's Musical World at Carnegie Hall

    What a great find! That made my morning. Love the balcony view, and getting to see Steve, Dave, and the others in action. I'm feeling so teased about the Fraggle part. I've seen one bit of vid with no sound, and now this with sound, but just wee little snippets and you can only really hear...

    TV Alert: Stuffed and Unstrung on The Celebrity Apprentice Sunday April 15

    That was fun! Very good publicity for Stuffed and Unstrung, too. I can tell, because now if they came near me and I heard about it, I would definitely go. :-) Nice to see Brian Henson. Hearing him speak always makes me smile. It was sort of funny watching this with a Muppet fan bias. Here...

    What are your favorite Fraggle Rock episodes?

    I couldn't pick an all-time favorite, but my favorite right now is Wembley's Wonderful Whoopie Water. The songs are fun, the dialogue is snappy, Doc and Sprocket's part is funny, the Fraggles discover caffeine, and Wembley is heroic. What's not to love? :coy:

    Your Thoughts: Jim Henson's Musical World at Carnegie Hall

    Well, now that I'm done reading through and liking all of the first hand accounts... :) THANK you, everyone, for giving us the details! It sounds like the most marvelously muppety time imaginable. The few video clips available have filled me with glee.

    Muppets named NYC's 2012 Family Ambassadors

    They're everywhere! Yaaaaaaay! :) Oh my goodness. Did Steve have to spend an entire three-hour ballgame sitting under the stadium seats? Yikes. Where's the 20 minute video, please? I'm not seeing it.

    The New York Pops play The Muppets at Carnegie Hall April 14

    Wembley. It's WEMBLEY. There's a Wembley in the world again! The only bad thing is that if there is Matt then there can't be Boober. Can't have everything, I guess. And Statler and Waldorf are slated to heckle. It is almost physically hurting me that I can't be there for this. Surely, in this...

    Oh, cool. I don't think I've ever heard Eric take on "Never Before," um, before. :)

    Funniest Fraggle Moments

    I love the beginning of Wembley's Wonderful Whoopie Water, all of it. It goes right into "Pukka Pukka Squeetily Boink," which is just a wonderfully funny, happy song, and includes Wembley sidling up to Red while singing "I believe in love," and her making her "Uch" face. After that, everyone's...

    What was the last Henson thing you watched?

    Ooh, fun! It was either The Muppets or the Fraggle Rock episode River of Life. Not sure which. Or...wait, I just watched the OK Go! Muppet video. Does that count?
