    Test post

    Just testing things here - everyone ignore. I seem to have a problem with random posts disappearing lately. I certainly hope it's just a matter of a random system glitch and not something more sinister.

    Pizza and grape juice

    Okay, so there's the classic early Ernie/Bert sketch where both have a "delicious glass of ice cold grape juice" and a "delicious piece of cheese, sausage, anchovy, and pepperoni pizza" except Ernie has more of each item than Bert and when Bert complains, Ernie "fixes" the problem by eating some...

    Claudia Black on Farscape webisodes

    Okay, Henson Company has talked about webisodes for quite some time now and continues to tell fans that "they're coming" but i've had serious doubts about this actually happening. Claudia Black ("Aeryn Sun") was asked about these recently in an interview and here was her response: Q...You...

    The Muppets on Extreme Makeover: 1/3/2010

    Well so far the Disney Christmas Parade has been 100% Muppet-less despite plugs left and right for Give a Day, Get a Disney Day. But at least they've shown the Muppets in THREE commercials so far: the Give a Day ads with James Denton and Taye Diggs plus a commercial for the upcoming Extreme...

    Has anyone seen Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody on the Disney Channel yet?

    Okay a while ago someone posted that Bohemian Rhapsody would be shown on Disney Channel but weren't sure if it would be USA, UK or both? Anyone from either country see it there yet - i sure haven't seen it on USA Disney Channel as of yet (nor for that matter have i ever heard I Believe on...

    Okay - so that really horrible attempt by a screenwriter who knew very little about Jim Henson to write a biographical screenplay about him made news again recently by hitting the number #1 spot on a list of must buzz-worthy unproduced screenplays of 2009 leadig people to ask all about it all...

    The "Discovering Farscape" Thread

    It's been a few years since miniseries "Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars" wrapped up the loose ends of tv series but also left the door open for future stories and the debut of Boom! comics' Farscape lines of comics that furthered the sage where PK Wars left off. The comics also allowed new...

    Macy's latest Santa promo

    So much for the days of "Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus"... Heard a radio promo regarding a national tour of Macy's Santa Claus - including the phrase "See the world's most famous Santa Claus" - if i was in a better mood, i may have laughed at the irony but it just made me sad instead...

    A Muppet Freak Update

    A Muppet Freak Mupdate Many of you know that my blog discussing fandom (with an emphasis on Muppet/Henson fandom) has been put on hold due to everything in my personal life falling apart this year. Well, it still is. But during its hiatus, something weird happened. My hit count doubled...

    The date Muppet fans will forever remember

    Mark November 24 2009 in the Muppet history books. I honestly think when it comes right down to it, Tuesday was The Official Start Date of The Muppet Renaissance. D23 was a nice preview of Disney's commitment to going ahead big time with the Muppets brand and we've had some neat little...

    A thought about about full episode dvds.

    Okay, we've had full episodes of classic Sesame released in the form of the Old School DVDs. More recent episodes were released in the Fun Pack collections. I know many of us have dreamed of season sets of Sesame episodes though such releases would be challenging given how the early seasons...

    Question for anyone who bought the new Farscape DVDs

    I'm not in a financial place where i can pick up the complete series set. So i can either pick up the individual seasons one at a time as i'm able or wait what might be how long til i can find a decent priced secondhand copy (I did find the fourth season available for under $20 at Walmart -...

    Seeing Spots?

    Maybe it's been this way for quite some time and i never actually noticed, but i recently noticed colored dots by everyone's name. What's the dealeo with these? Muppaphones hoping we'll adopt them? Christmas tree ornaments? An odd side effect of not being able to afford new contact lenses?

    Insider question: confused on segment numbering

    Okay let me preface this by saying i'm a total "script geek" - i love to collect scripts of Henson/Muppet shows (and other fave shows as well). I have yet to acquire any Sesame scripts though so i was overjoyed to see Louise Gikow's 40th anniversary book include a healthy number of script...

    Sesame Street Google Doodles

    At the current time i'm typing, when you visit Google, Big Bird's legs are in place of the 'L" in the logo. ("Big Bird isn't a letter of the alphabet...") Hopefully they'll do something with Cookie Monster's eyes in place of the double O's.

    Sid's voice

    I can't believe i never noticed this til now (over a year since the show debuted!) I've always been a huge Calvin & Hobbes fan. I used to love to read the comic anthologies to my nephews doing different voices for the characters (at one point i thought i may want to someday go into cartoon...

    Return of the Bootlegs

    Well i see from the advertising bars that another Muppet bootlegger is up to more mischief on ebay - don't know if it's the same person that was doing it before but the pattern is the same - put up a replica, label it a "professional ventriloquism puppet" (hence not only encouraging people to...

    Disney news: Making New Miley's: Disney's Teen-Star Factory

    Since the below article doesn't mention the Muppets, i'm placing this in General Discussion though i thought Muppet fans might find this interesting as a look as per where the new Disney's Head head is at. We may moan when the Muppets do something like "Studio DC" though such a project (and its...
