    Funny Old Muppet Skits

    Not sure if this counts as a skit, but I've always loved this UK spot from the Zero Mostel episode. Sam the Eagle is just such a hilarious character.

    Your Thoughts: Jim Henson "Idea Man" on Disney+

    I got a chance to watch this when it aired on ABC, and I thought it was a very well-done documentary. Echoing what others have said, I do wish we could have gotten some interviews from Richard Hunt or Jerry Nelson talking about Jim, but I realize (especially with Hunt) that that footage is...

    The Jim Henson Hour

    The Jim Henson Hour was an interesting series, but it was too ambitious to succeed. I think one of the big issues that viewers had is that they went in expecting The Muppet Show and got something entirely different. There was also a lack of Frank Oz and Richard Hunt characters, but I can't be...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Neil Gaiman is currently facing some serious allegations, so I wonder if Arthur will ban "Falafelosophy" (the episode he guest-starred in). They removed the Lance Armstrong episodes from circulation, so I wouldn't be surprised if this one disappears from reruns.

    Question about "Follow that Bird"

    The Muppets 2011 is not a film I would classify as "horrible". It received critical acclaim and performed reasonably well at the box office, grossing $165M worldwide on a $45M budget. However, I can see why some would consider it to be too sappy and wildly overrated. It definitely comes nowhere...

    Question about "Follow that Bird"

    Elmo in Grouchland was a colossal bomb at the box office, it's almost notorious for being so. It grossed just $11 million against a $26 million budget. It's possible it made some money back through VHS and merchandise sales, but it was a textbook case of a box office flop. If Elmo in Grouchland...

    Question about "Follow that Bird"

    It was up against films like Back to the Future, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, and Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Though "Follow That Bird" was not some sort of toddler film and had some legitimately dark moments, I'm sure many just assumed it was something meant for a very young crowd and avoided it...

    Muppets Shouldn't Curse

    I think Yahooey is referring to this clip that went viral a few years back. He obviously didn't say it, but it can seem that way.

    Beautiful Day Monster and his resemblance to Sam the Eagle

    I mean, they're both blue, but that's about it.

    Remembering Jim Henson, 34 years after May 16, 1990

    RIP to Jim Henson, one of the greatest 20th century entertainers and visionaries. I always wonder how he would have used modern technology if he were around to continue working with film and TV.

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Was it ever confirmed that they made an episode with him? The articles I find say they just wanted him to be on it.

    Dealing with depression and anxiety

    Honestly, I had no clue there was an online fandom devoted to Thomas and Friends. And I really can't imagine why it would get so nightmarish, but I'll take your word on it.

    PBS Retro

    Wow! That is incredible news. I have thought of this concept in my head for a long time. Just wish it were a real channel on broadcast TV.

    Is Fraggle Rock communist?

    Yes, Jim Henson created the series to promote the dangerous communist message of world peace.

    Sesame Street needs to end

    I'm mainly confused by this. I have truly never heard of anyone who refuses to watch a Sesame skit with Jim Henson performing because they're some sort of "Whitmire purist". It's such an easy out to say that something would have never happened if Jim were around. No one can truly know what he...

    Sesame Street needs to end

    I don't think there's anyone out there that would prefer Whitmire's stuff to Henson. However, Whitmire was still the second-best at doing Henson's characters.
