    Is this true about Steve Whitmire?

    You know what I love about the dream story? Besides everything? I love that Jim was all busy and distracted. From all we know of him, it seems like he wouldn't want to "rest in peace." I like to think that he still has important things to do. All of the stories about how Steve was able to...

    Fraggle Rock Knitting Book!

    "To make your face I found some lace And sewed you, every part To make you feel That you were real I gave away my heart." :dreamy: That is VERY cool! I'm a low-level sometimes-knitter. I mean, I can make scarves and hats if I follow the patterns VERY carefully. I'm just blown away by people...

    TV Alert: Muppets at Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade

    He appeared, but was that appearance included in the online recording? I watched the whole thing, I think, and didn't see him except the outtake bit at the end. If it's there, I need to go back and watch! I agree. Statler and Waldorf should heckle pretty much everything. I still have hope...

    The Muppets is now the top-grossing Muppet movie

    As far as creating interest in the franchise with younger viewers, I think a lot more of that is going to come with the DVD release. I know several families who were excited about The Muppets but who haven't seen it yet, either because of the cost of taking the family to the movies, or because...

    Your Favorite Romantic Muppet Moment

    "Camilla! You're sweeter than wine or vanilla, Camilla." Okay, the Big Bird thing kind of ruined the moment, and I don't think that Gonzo/Camilla is exactly a romance for the ages anyway, but I sure do like that song. :)

    TV Alert: Muppets at Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade

    Thanks for posting the link! I was heading over the river and through the woods when it aired, so it was nice to be able to watch later. I think any major, star-studded event is much improved if Statler and Waldorf are hanging out in a balcony making fun of it. It's a shame they cut out...

    The most tear-jerking Muppet moment...

    Oh definitely. I never know how to express this without sounding like a jerk, but I feel like a certain amount of sadness is just part of the Muppet experience now...and that's not necessarily a bad thing? Obviously, we all wish Jim and Richard were still with us; I'm not saying it's not a bad...

    The most tear-jerking Muppet moment...

    Earlier today, my husband was teasing me (gently) for always, always, always crying at the end of the carol medley in MFC. Specifically when they sing "Together at Christmas." So I explained it to him: "So this is a just a few years before Jim and Richard died; it's one of the last things...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    I didn't watch it when it aired-- I was out of the country at the time I think. But lately I've been enjoying bits of it on Youtube. Good stuff. I watched the whole "Secrets of the Muppets" episode, and it's fantastic. It's always so fun to get to see the performers at work. Also, the Lion is...

    Best singer?

    Tell me about it! I've had 'Pukka Pukka Pukka Squeetily Boink' stuck in my head for weeks! :D

    Letters to Santa: Some thoughts

    I haven't seen this one in a couple of years, and don't remember the details very well. I thought about buying it on DVD, but then I read that Rizzo and Pepe are Santa doubters through most of the movie? If that's true, I have to wait a few years. I have a five, three and one year old, and I...

    Saddest Song in A Muppet Movie

    Going to Go Back There Someday is probably my favorite song, and it tends to make me tear up, but I wouldn't exactly call it sad. It's wistful...thoughtful...hopeful. But not quite sad. Pictures in my Head is a close second, but Saying Goodbye always makes me cry. And if I watch it in the...

    Fan Poll: Favorite Muppet Christmas Production

    I love MFC and MCC both so much. Wouldn't want to do without either of them. I voted for MCC just because it wasn't getting as much love in the poll. :-)

    It worked for me! Thanks very much for posting these. Kermit is in good form; he and Jason interview well together.

    Boober's best moments

    I made an account just so I could post in this thread. So...hi! Boober is my favorite, and I can't quite say why. Maybe it's because he's cute. Maybe it's because Dave Goelz is awesome. Maybe it's that he's an underappreciated cook and doer of laundry, and as a mom I sympathize. Maybe it's...
