    something I've noticed about crowd scenes

    I have noticed something about crowd scenes, between the time when Jim Henson and alive and then afterwards. It seems like when Jim Henson was alive, there have often been really impressive crowd scenes, which required more performers than usual, and in most cases no editing was invovled with...

    Taz-Mania

    Who here likes Taz-Mania, the early 1990s television series starring the Tasmanian Devil? I thought it was a good series, and although it was rare for other Looney Tunes characters to make appearances, I thought that most of the supporting vharacters were great, including Didgerty Dingo, Wendell...

    the band in A Celebration of 30 Years

    I recently noticed that in The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, the orchestra consisted of The Electric Mayhem and several penguins. Considering the fact that Little Muppet Monsters had a penguin band, I wonder if those penguins were meant to be the band from Little Muppet Monsters, mixed...

    the early comedy duos

    The first three seasons of Sesame Street had different human comedy duos. First, there was Buddy and Jim, who were replaced in the second season by Larry and Phyllis, who were replaced in the third season by Wally and Ralph. But does anybody know why the first two duos were replaced after only...

    caveman Ernie and the washing machine salesman

    Narrarator: A long, long time ago, people lived in caves, and didn't have very much to do. In fact, if our clothes were dirty, we washed by hand, not by machine. (cave king Ernie is washing some clothes in a river in the cave) Ernie: Oh, I can't believe that I've sent my royal cleaners on...

    characters in style guides

    Can anybody make a list of all the characters who have appeared in The Muppet Show style guides? Muppet Wiki lists characters who appear in the Sesame Street style guides, but not TMS ones.

    what if The Muppet Movie was basically a 90-minute Muppet Show?

    I have been wondering recently, what if, instead of showing how Kermit first met the other Muppets and went to Hollywood, Jim Henson chose for The Muppet Movie to be just like a regular episode of The Muppet Show, only with an extra 60 minutes in lenght? Do you think it would have been as...

    creative controll

    I've read that Jim Henson was given creative controll over The Muppet Show, due to it being syndicated, but does anybody know if Jim Henson was given this privledge when he made The Jim Henson Hour? Heck, I wonder if Henson ahd creative controll over Fraggle Rock, and wonder if Sesame Workshop...

    Sesame Street Spectacular Show

    Okay, I am going to make 20 posts here, for a ficticious Sesame Street activity-like series, featuring segments from the show and new scenes. The number of letter sponsors will vary but will usually be two letters. Enjoy! Sesame Street Spectacular Show #1 Scene 1 Big Bird introduces the...

    muppet sketches shown twice

    In the early years, it was common for animated and film segments t be shown twice or more in the same episode, but have there ever been any Muppet sketches that were shown more than once in the same episode?

    your old muppet drawings

    I wasn't sure where this kind of thread belongs, so I put it in General Discussions (I thought about putting it in Fan Fiction and Fan Art, but then thought the title might be misleading). After seeing the recent Tough Pigs contest where fans sent in drawings they made as kids (or was it...

    the monsters and season two

    I've been noticing some things about the Muppet monsters in season two. Quite a few new monsters were built and introduced this season, while many of the older ones were used less (and after season two monsters would be used sparringly all-together). Boppity was used quite a bit this season...

    let's speculate why Nickelodeon edited certain scenes

    Back when Nickelodeon aired reruns of The Muppet Show, the UK spots would usually be shown, but other segments would be cut, presumably for time, but I wonder how often Nickelodeon chose to cut something because of content (in addition to time). I thought I'd start this threat to speculate on...

    Nancy Walker TMS episode nitpicks

    I would like to share some nitpicks about the Nancy Walker episode. First of all, Fozzie was concerned about the wall that got blown up during the opening number. However, that wasn't Fozzie's fault. It was the fault of the performers in the opening number. That would have happened even if...

    Civilizing Animal

    Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem were performing at the Muppet Theater. They were performing "Wild Thing". "Wild thing", sang Dr. Teeth, "You make my heart sing! Wild thing, you make everything groovy...." "Wild thing", sang Floyd, "I think I love you...." Floyd continued to sing...

    Monster Circus

    Chapter 1 Sweetums, Thog, and Timmy were all at the minature golf corse, playing golf, of course. "Okay, I've just gotta swing this to make one point", said Thog, who hit the ball, but sliped to his side and fell onto a windmill, breaking it. "Oh, no, you idiot!", said Timmy, "You...

    Changing Nature observations

    I thought I'd take the time to make some observations about the last episode of Dinosaurs, Changing Nature. It seems like the Dinosaurs characters were expecting the bunch beetles to show up, only for them to not show up at the expected time (and for Stan to be late). However, when Charlene...
