    Farscape #1 sold out in five days; second printing on its way

    The title says it all! Not only did the first issue of Farscape comics sell out, but it did so in only five days - Boom! Studios announced that it put its debut issue into a second printing. I'm really happy about the book's success as its well deserved - not only does the comic series...

    Complete FR dvd boxset for 50% off!

    Okay, being that i find HIT's practice of only making season four available as part of the complete box set, i wanted to find a way that i could both get a hold of this while not giving HIT my "dollar vote" (or at least much less of one) So here's what i decided - i bought myself a copy, but...

    Little Lamb, Big Talent

    Okay, as a segment Murray Has a Little Lamb is overall in the middle - it's entertaining, doesn't make you want to tune out, but it also doesn't rank up there as a classic. But there is one thing that i really love about these bits - the puppetry in them is extraordinary! Of course Joey...

    Are there different edits/versions of Sid the Science Kid?

    Okay, i read the review of Sid the Science Kid on Toughpigs, and one part confused me. The reviewer based his critique on the first four episodes, mostly focusing on the debut (the chart episode). In describing the first episode, he talks about the part of the show where they do their...

    Anyone notice any cuts in Oz?

    I wasn't able to watch the whole thing, but i did catch some of DC's airing of Muppets Wizard of Oz, and i was pleasantly surprised to see that it wasn't just the hacked-up 89 minute version that made up ABC's original broadcast. Not only was it a point of pride that DC, notorious for airing...

    Scooter recasts

    It took a long time for them to try it, but eventually about seven years after Richard Hunt's all-too-early passing, Scooter finally appeared again with lines. Recasting Muppets is not easy! Sometimes you get really lucky as in the case of Eric Jacobsen who was a total godsend in that he...

    Marilyn Sokol on All My Children

    Sorry i don't have any more details - but Marilyn Sokol (voice of Emmett Otter and many voiceovers for Sesame Street songs in 1970's) has been on All My Children recently. I don't watch AMC but i watch One Life to Live which comes on afterwards, so i happened to catch her name in the closing...

    Muppet First Impressions

    Muppet First Impressions (childhood memories) Okay, was watching season 1 of The Muppet Show and i had this total flashback that i hadn't thought about in ages about how when i was a kid watching this new show that had Muppets (but different ones that were on Sesame Street, even though Kermit...

    Farscape Season 5 is coming...

    ...Just not in the form one might initially expect! Well, i can't believe i'm actually the first person to break the news! But in turns out that in between all the excitement of Red making a live appearance at the latest Comic-Con and some more updates on Boom!'s upcoming Muppet comic book...

    Chris Appreciation Thread

    (Slowly getting back to posting and reading the forum...my life is still completely topsy-turvy but the Muppets/Jim Henson is the one bright thing that still brings joy to my life so trying to reconnect with that) Sesame Street season 39 will be starting in less than a month but i wanted to...

    Something big on the horizon...

    Okay, so while i was doing some searching around for so kind of clue or hint as to what's going on with the seeming postponement of the Studio DC: Almost Live special, i came across the following seemingly unrelated article from a Clinton, MS newspaper which contains a surprising tidbit at the...

    Editorial: The Next (Segal & Stoller) Muppet Movie

    Submitted the following as an editorial to the main site and also to the muppetcast mailbox...but if neither ends up using it, and least it will be here for everyone to read and comment on: Some thoughts on the announcement of Disney's greenlighting a Muppet movie written by actor/writer...

    Songs that remind you of Muppets

    As obsessed Muppet fans, the littlest things probably remind us of something Muppety leaving to many a moment with friends left scratching their heads...like songs for example. This thread is for all those songs that automatically make you think of some kind of Muppety moment. I have tons of...

    Hot Fudge - new info on old classic

    Throughout the years, every now and then someone will come on the forum and ask "hey does anyone remember that really great mid 70's early morning kids' show, Hot Fudge?" I have many fond (though fuzzy memories) of this classic! But actual info on the show aside from peoples' memories have...

    Fran Brill question

    Fran Brill is one of my fave performers and for someone who's one of the longtime veterans, there's not a lot of biographical info on her out there...even though she also has a notable second career as an actress... Anyway, as i was on another forum (non-Muppet related) i saw the name "Fran...

    As i mentioned in another thread, i've been "out of the mc loop" for awhile so i apologize for sitting on this and not announcing until now...but i figured someone else would have picked up on it and spread the word...but just in case (or as a reminder)... SInce MuppetFest was such a blast...
