    Mangled Beaker

    I never got a chance to see the mangled beaker that Palisades had to redo. Can anyone give me a link to see it? Markus

    Columbia Tri-Star will release 20 Muppet Show DVD's

    I tend to think that the Time-Life set is unknown to most people. I found out about them because I actually went looking for them. Though my search was immediately gratified, I still wouldn't have seen them if I hadn't taken the proactive stance. The Tr-Star sets will be great for getting...

    What's a hack? :confused:

    The Mouse is Wooing Miss Piggy

    Yeah, Rubik brought the cynic out of me. A cartoon about a puzzle toy. That was a stretch. The cool thing about Alf was the continuity between the show and the cartoon. I appreciated the expanse of Alf's world and how faithful the writers stayed to Alf's descriptions of home to the Tanner...

    Muppet puppet shows in church

    Sure. I'd be glad to help. I've been doing Christian themes my whole life. I don't know about Presbyterian stuff, so far as pet doctrines or how conservative or liberal they are so let me take you down a safe route. One thing comes immediately to mind. Why don't you muppetize your...

    The Mouse is Wooing Miss Piggy

    Okay, sorry. But the bestest cartoon of all time was "Rubik the Amazing Cube." followed by the Laverne and Shirley join the Army cartoon. :D Wasn't there also a worthless cartoon about Kweeki Koala, or something like that? That might just be a nightmare tune in my head based on something...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Do you remember the sketch with the guy painting some number onto everything? I just remember that he painted it on the back of a bald guy's head in a swimming pool or something. That bald guy scared me. I really thought the painter was going to get hurt. One muppet they probably got rid...

    Who are you?

    I really do like it here. I've spent the last couple weeks reading all the articles and interviews and looking for books you all mentioned at my public library. I have some ideas forming about a kids program I'd like to do, and so much of this provides inspiration for me. It's also cool to...

    Who are you?

    Hi, I'm Markus. Another Michigan Muppet fan. I just discovered this thread as well because I was checking the new forums. I is a slow learner. This community has really renewed my love for Muppets and puppets in general. Before lurking here, I hung around at a Lego for adults...

    Crank Yankers

    Interesting discussion. I guess my disagreement would be with the terms. I consider true adult humor to be ACTUAL humor that goes right over kids heads. Great examples are the Muppet stuff, some of the Simpsons, Rocky & Bullwinkle stuff, that no kid would catch. (and neither would some...

    Help need info on Kermit Song

    Phillip, That amazes, delights, and frankly somewhat frightens me that you could come up with all that information. ;) Markus

    I'm building my second Muppet.

    I know you've already finished Sam, but I wanted to throw some information out about this in case someone found it useful. What's worked well for me is covering a styrofoam ball with the end of a sock. Actually, I've covered lots of things with socks before, particularly for blacklight...

    About Zoot

    They say that artists, particularly musicians, are temperamental... half temper... half mental. Zoot clearly is only mental, as he seems to have a pretty good temper. Markus Who is eventually going to use these smileys if he could only figure out how.

    If you like the Muppet Movie, you'll love...

    Yesterday I was at Target and saw the Muppet Movie for just under fifteen bucks (before sales tax). How could I pass it up. I only just got a DVD player cuz it was on my laptop. My little brother and I laughed and laughed watching it. And the Muppetisms are great, now that I finally know...

    The best Muppet moment ever!

    Really? I thought the "peoples is peoples" bit was just a comedy build up so that you thought that Kermit was going to get an "Aha" moment from Pete, but it didn't make any sense. Thus Kermit answers wryly, "Thanks Pete... That... helped alot." Most of my family, including my parents, are...

    The best Muppet moment ever!

    My favorite moment is in MTM where Pete the restaurant owner is giving Kermit advice. The "Peoples is peoples" speech. I remember watching that for the first time thinking the whole time, "He's saying something. I know he is..." and when he wraps it up with "okay froggie?" Kermit was just...
