Feel free to move this thread if needed. Anyway, I'm speaking of course of the 'Land of Gorch" sketches on the early seasons of Saturday Night Live. I saw my very first Gorch sketch last night and was pretty disappointed. The writing and treatment of the characters were very negative and I...

By which I mean the stop-motion animation holiday specials from the 60's thru the 80's. Here's my favorite from "Mad Monster Party":

By which I mean episodes that are considered underwatched or underappreciated. I personally consider "Space Frog Follies" to be pretty underrated.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/29/showbiz/actor-meschach-taylor-death/ Taylor was best known for playing Anthony Bouvier on "Designing Women". DW is one of my all-time favorite shows, so I am deeply saddened by this.

This is, by far, my least favorite aspect of the series: Red not believing that Uncle Matt actually went on his adventures and then either Matt or Gobo feeling the need to prove her wrong. I don't know why the writers felt the need to pepper this storyline all throughout the series; heck, they...

As of today, I have been a member of Muppet Central Forum for 10 years!

Several years ago, I started a little thread called "Scariest Dinosaurs Moments", so in a similar vein, I thought we could talk about what episodes made you sad (besides Changing Nature, which should be a given). I have two: Endangered Species and Honey I Miss the Kids.

My cousin (who I'm very close to) turns 18 in January and I'd really like to get him something special, like maybe a book or movie that tells a coming of age story. However, I don't want to pick something really obvious like "Catcher in the Rye", so I thought I'd start this thread to come up...

Obviously, not all Henson productions can be winners, even to the people who actually took part in them. So, post the productions that are not liked by people associated with them, along with the person's name. Here's my list: -Monster Maker (Brian Henson) -Great Muppet Caper (Dave Goelz)...

I've been thinking about this for a while now: What is the most annoying animated TV series ever? What's the show that is just intolerable, unbearable and obnoxious all the way through? And it doesn't necessarily have to be anything current. I'll be expecially interested to hear what both...

What would be a good material that could play convincingly as cotton candy?

On the 'making-of' featurette on the Emmett Otter DVD, Jerry Nelson mentions that he has two favorite Henson projects and Emmett Otter was one of them. Does anyone happen to know what the other one was?

It occurs to me that Architect Doozer is a very complex character. In "The Cavern of Lost Dreams", he is a very proud character, speaking often of how he outdoes himself with every tower that is built. While in "All Work and All Play", we learn that he was once a rebel and did things his own...

Randy Sharp was a songwriter on Follow That Bird, specifically "I'm a Bluebird". I sent him an e-mail and got back a very lengthy and informative response; here it is. "Hi Brian, I'm a fan of the movie myself. I was on staff at Warner Bros. Music and happened to be in Nashville working at...

Fred Garbo might not be a household name, but he performed on Sesame Street for a few years in the 80's. I e-mailed him to ask him about his experiences and here is his reply. "Hello, I had a great run as Barkley the dog and a brief history with Dexter the juggling monster. Kevin was the voice...

Jerry Juhl was obviously a 'jack-of-all-trades' within the Henson company, but he was also the head writer of Fraggle Rock and wrote the bulk of the series. So I thought it was a good idea to share our favorite show written by Jerry Juhl and a brief summary of why we like it. My personal...

I finally got a chance to see the Paul Williams documentary about a month ago and I am sorry to say that I did not enjoy it. Throughout the entire film, Williams berates and backtalks the interviewer/director. I consider this to be unacceptable behavior for two reasons: A) The director is...

I’m speaking, of course, of It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, Muppets Wizard of Oz, and Letters to Santa. These TV films have gotten a lot of hate, and I think it’s time for someone to put them in perspective. They were made to try to put the Muppets back in the public eye and keep...

For those who aren't familiar with the series "Glee", Monteith played Finn. Even though I no longer wtach the show (and evn when I did, I wasn't a huge fan of Finn), I'm deeply saddened to hear about this. Cory was very talented and he seemed like a really great person...

Which DVD edition of Muppet Treasure Island has the audio commentary on it?
