O.K., so since Carroll isn't doing Big Bird any more, what about Oscar? (Not sure who the culprit is doing him, but Big Bird sounds like Barney The Dino on helium, and I hate the way they got both wings moving.) Have they ruined Oscar too? The couple of bits I saw recently could have been old...

That thinks Jessica Simpson is not that hott? That thinks that Kathy Griffin is? That feels "reality televison" is a contradiction in terms? That doesn't understand why Ryan Seacrest has all those jobs? That thinks names like "Apple", "Blanket", "Moses" of "Homer" are not the best...

Anyone see the Game Show network's "Black & White Overnight's" airing of the original "To Tell The Truth". A VERY young Bob McGrath appeared, and the panel had to figure our which one was the "boy singer" having a huge career in Japan singing American songs in Japanese. I think we all know...

o.K., I'm doing the eBay thing again, this time with copies of the script for "The Fantastic Miss Piggy Show" and and early draft of "The Muppet Movie" complete with swamp creature! I'm also doing a "second chance" for some of the "vintage" items that didn't find a home before, and a few new...

What's the most useless bit of trivia you know about The Muppets? (The more obscure the better.) Here's one: Carl Banas voiced Sweetums in "The Frog Prince". He also voiced the head elf and (I think) Yukon Cornelius in the original "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer". COOL!

I'm sure this thread has been posted before, but maybe there will be some new comments submitted. Where were you when you heard of Jim Henson's passing? I remember exactly. I was driving home from work listening to the radio for details about Sammy Davis Jr.'s passing that very day as well...

I always think it's weird to see our favorite Sesame Street humans acting in other places. Kinda like seeing your teacher in the supermarket on Saturday. I remeber "Luis" working for Lou Grant, and "Molly the Mail Lady" playing Dorm Room Mom on "The Facts of Life". My favorite was the...

I'm sure this has been asked here before, but who were the actors who plaed Buddy & Jim?

One of the cool things about working the Sesame characters in The Muppet Movie was finding ha! garment labels sewn into their sleves hand-written with their names. Some were permanent characters (Betty Lou, Sherlock Hemlock, etc.), but the others dressed for the camera revealed their "real"...

I had heard this rumor/story years ago and still don't know if it's totoally true or not, but.. Although Jon Stone wanted Jim henson to bring Rowlf into the Muppet cast in order to drum up publicity for the show, PBS officials were afraid that having him on the show would confuse the issue...

O.K., just to show you I'm not too old.. "BOSOM BUDDIES"-Henry (Peter Scolari) to Kip (Tom Hanks): "The Muppets might be childish, but Jim Henson can buy his own planet!" "THE TONIGHT SHOW"-Lots, but one I remember, was Johnny Carson doing prop humor at the desk, holding up "Miss Piggy's...

I remember a televison variety show probably very early 1970's that had Jack Benny and George Burns dressed up as Ernie & Bert, complete with big foam heads just showing their faces. I know..it sounds like I'm nuts, but it was so wierd at the time, that's why I (barely) remember it. Anyone...

Does anyone besides me remember this network (ABC I think) special? Early 1970's it featured the combined casts of "Seasame Street" (Muppets only) and "The Electric Company" , along with a couple of Guest Stars. Odd sketches included Cookie Monster playing poker with Elliott Gould. I have a...
