    Muppet History 101

    Well, not all Muppets sprang to life fully formed. In the case of Gonzo, for instance, the first puppet was first used in 1970, but the character associated with that puppet design debuted in 1976.

    SS cast

    Well, cast lists often list the actors' surnames as those of the characters as well (probably appeared on some obscure episode), and obviously the given names were the same, so it may have just been too confusing.

    Do you like Disney owning the Muppets?

    Maybe they'll stagger the releases so there'll be something else released when they're ready to put the other stuff back in the vault.

    Fantasy wedding

    I want to stand in a church, beside a woman in a white dress, in front of a preacher, and promise it's for life. That's really all I need. No gimmicks (unless the bride wants a medieval theme or something), no 87-piece orchestra (86 pieces will suffice), even champagne isn't really needed (I...

    Your OTHER Name...

    How do you know I didn't use the Lucan genealogy? (Just kidding) :smirk:

    Confusion at the end of Muppets Take Manhattan

    I think it's probably funniest just to let Kermit and Piggy disagree on this issue between themselves.

    First Muppet Wizard of Oz Photo!

    I think that's just the way the photo got cropped.

    Clip of Jim Henson and Kermit in 1987 Parade

    Amazing how much Henson's real voice sounded like that of his signature character.

    Bad Baby Names

    And if he liked spinach, and took a job as a merchant, he would be... Get ready for this... :o Papaya the seller man. :boo: What kind of joke was that about papayas and spinach? :sleep: A tasteless one.

    Bad Baby Names

    One of the worst I've heard (more than once) is Ulycious. It sounds like a slogan for Iliad brand candy bars. Just the other day, I saw an obituary for a woman named Female (at least, I assume it was a woman. On the other hand, you know how to spell "assume"...).

    Need help for a college project (Please!)

    Superstitions per se, no. Self-fulfilling prophecies, yes. In other words, superstitions only work for the superstitious.

    What is Scooter?

    Does Scooter even have a last name?

    Old characters refered to as "new"

    No, it's just that "people" were around in the mid to late 70s. When I was starting to outgrow the target audience (I was born in 1980), Telly was firmly established, but Elmo was just starting his rise to power. I think Kevin Clash's casting as Elmo is probably the dividing line between...
