Anybody else remember these guys? They were construction workers; Biff was purple and performed by Jerry and Sully was orange and didn't speak but was puppeteered by Richard. After Richard died, Sully was retired (which makes no sense if he was a mute character, anybody could've thrown him...

Feel free to move this if needed. The Animal Show With Stinky and Jake was an educational show about animals that aired on the Discovery Channel circa 1996. While it had great music and I learned a lot from it, I always felt awkward watching it, which was mainly due to the time it aired. This...

The history of No Day But Today has been covered elsewhere, but here is an archival refresher for those who might need it. Around about 2004, there was a role-play thread on the forum called "The Moppet Family" that many people thought of as a sitcom even though it didn't exactly follow that...

I've noticed there's never been much discussion about Buffy, a Native American character that was featured on Sesame Street throughout the 70's and 80's. What I like about her inclusion was that Sesame Street was so good and prolific about having characters from as many...

Between the Lena Horne performance on TMS and the Alaina Reed version on Sesame Street, which version is closer to the original published version of “Sing”?

Where could one get the instrumental Swedish Chef theme just by itself?

Has anyone else found that the last few projects that Jim worked on were pretty underwhelming? I'm mainly referring to Storyteller, Jim Henson Hour, Mother Goose Stories, Ghost of Faffner Hall, and Dog City.

Since computer animation was much more in vouge by the time The Muppets 2011 and Muppets Most Wanted were made, the temptation was there to make some of the more challenging puppet effects digital. I suspect that quite a substantial bit of Digital puppetry was used in those two films, but James...

Kermit Unplugged was a 1994 cover album featuring the Muppets and various celebrities. I had the cassette growing up which was subsequently lost and I just recently bought it again on CD. I'm sad to say that listening to it 21 years later was a rather awkward experience given Jerry's death and...

Havent done one of these in a while! What is your favorite FR episode written by Sugith Varughese? Mine is Home is Where the Trash is. Boy, he certainly wrote alot of Gorg stories, didn't he? The beast of blue rock Sprocket's big adventure Ring around the rock Home is where the trash is...

In the 1987 behind the scenes documentary, when the Gorgs are showcased, there seem to be two different actors shown wearing the Junior Gorg suit and neither of them are Rob Mills. I found this rather shocking because officially the only credited suit operators are Rob, Gord Robertson, and...

I found this rare video of Bob McGrath performing on "Sing Along With Mitch" in 1964 (!) and thought you all would like to see it.

Man, talk about an underrated performer! She performed on basically every American/Canadian Muppet production launched in the 1980's (with the exception of FR) and then just kinda disappeared; I'd be interested to learn where she wound up. Hands down, my favorite of her characters is Meteora...

"A Is For Asthma" was an educational SS video whose main character was an Orange Live Hands AM named Dani. Did Dani appear in any episodes of the actual series? Because I just recently saw a SS episode that featured Dani, but according to Muppet Wiki, he only appeared in that one video. Btw...

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/stan-freberg-dead-acclaimed-satirist-787007 The legendary voice actor has passed away at age 88. I'll always remember him as The Beaver in "Lady And The Tramp".

Yay, another list thread! This time, list your favorite quote from each theatrical film, along with the character who says it. If there are a few films that you're not all that familiar with, feel free to skip them and also feel free to add quotes from the TV films and specials. And the...

Do you think that Constantine will have a life in Muppet films beyond MMW?

I remember reading somewhere that Floyd is the only member of the EM that Animal will listen to. Why do you think that is? The rest of the band seems pretty rational.

I'm talking about specific characters rather than performers because some character voices have a very limited vocal range. Who do you think is the weakest? And I'll include SS and FR characters as well rather than starting a new thread in those forums. For me, it's Bunsen Honeydew.

So last April, Dad had to have some kidney stones surgically removed. Well, they have returned and this time he is going to have them crushed externally by sound waves until they are small enough to pass. So really it's more of a procedure than an actual surgery, but the reason why I'm so...
