    The Muppets' Nutcracker

    Here's another idea for a Muppet Movie. Since they already did A Christmas Carol, how about if they did their version of another classic Christmas story? The Nutcracker. Kermit could play the Nutcracker Prince. And he could have a set of teeth in his mouth in his nutcracker form and then...

    Mumford plays trick on Oscar

    Here's a skit I remember when I was a kid. Mumford was walking down Sesame Street and he spied Oscar practicing some grouch magic. First Oscar took a rag and said some nasty magic words and stinky weeds appeared. Then Oscar took out an empty shoebox, said those words again, and pulled out a...

    Helen Reddy song?

    I remember a MS skit where Helen Reddy was in a recording booth singing a song that went like this. "How can you be happy? How can you be smiling? How can you be anything but low down, saggy, and blue?" Does anybody know the title of that song? I'd like to get a copy of that original...

    When Gonzo met Camilla

    I was thinking this is how Gonzo met Camilla. Remember that At The Dance sketch when Gonzo wishes someone would dance with him? All sorts of girls, including Piggy, blew him off. Then he suddenly saw a chicken and fell in love and they danced so wild clearing the floor. I like to think...

    Jim Henson's favorite cartoon

    I remember one time in a magazine, someone asked Jim Henson what his favorite cartoon was. And he said he liked The Smurfs. I can picture Jim liking that cartoon. :)

    Avenue Q Question

    I've heard so much neat things about the NY musical, Avenue Q. And I've seen a song from there on the Jerry Lewis telethon. And I'd like to go see it myself. But I heard it also has some adult themes in it. Does anyone know if it has mild-adult themes or is it way too shocking and offense...

    Two Muppets named Gladys

    I remember Richard Hunt performing 2 Gladyses. The first was Gladys the Cow from Sesame Street. The other Gladys was a cafeteria lady from the Muppet Show Theater. She had orange skin, lipstick, and white curly hair. And she was kind of sassy. When Gonzo had to leave to do an act...

    A Muppet Town

    Suppose there was a town populated by Muppets. What would it be like? I vision a Muppet town with a name like Henson Heights. It would be the home of all our favorite Muppet Show Muppets along with some Frackles and Whatnots. And each familiar Muppet would have a job or own a business like…...

    Muppets a thousand years from now.

    I've always wondered what if a thousand years have passed. And who would be performing the Muppets in the year 3000? They might have a record book of all the many performers who performed Kermit over the centuries, starting with Jim Henson. Or maybe they'll equip the Muppets with futuristic...

    P as in "PUHHHH!"

    One thing that made me laugh was when the two old Muppets were singing about the ET family. When they were doing P and ET. The old man holding a P went, "You take a P as in Puhhh!" but when he made that P sound a second time, it almost sounded like a microphone exploded. They say you gotta...

    Muppeteer cast small back then.

    I was watching a classic episode of SS and I saw the Friday closing credits. And I noticed that the Muppeteer cast only consisted of 5. Jim, Frank, Jerry, Richard, and Carroll. Today's SS cast now has around 20 Muppeteers. Definitely a huge cast increase since the old days.

    Favorite Inaminate Objects Coming to Life

    It seems like almost anything can come to life in the Muppet world. And you can even expect it just by looking at the objects. Here are my favorite inanimate things that've come to life. The wooden dragon boat in, "In the Navy." The Beethoven bust on Rowlf's piano. Sylvester...

    Muppet movie theater intro

    When you go to the movies, have you seen how sometimes before the movie starts, a celebrity will coach us on movie etiquette? What if the Muppets got a chance to do that? Here's how I'd see it if I went to the movies and the Muppets suddenly appeared. We see the front of the movie theather...

    Muppets with no eyelids

    When I see characters like Kermit, Beaker, Wembley, Red, Cookie Monster, and other Muppets with huge ping-pong ball eyeballs with no eyelids. It kind of bothers me that they can't blink. Their eyes could lose their moisture and painfully dry up without eyelids.

    Live Muppeteers in Traveling Matt segments

    Does anyone know if any live Muppeteers appeared in the Traveling Matt segments? I thought one time, I saw Steve Whitmire hand Matt a skateboard. And when Matt was on the roller coaster, I thought it looked like Dave Goelz next to him.

    Rats cooking breakfast

    I thought one of the most neat moments of The Muppets Take Manhattan, was where the Muppet Rats were cooking breakfast in the diner, while Rizzo sang this cool scat song. :) I heard this was one of the most complicated scenes they had to shoot in the movie. I can imagine with stuff like...

    Sesame horror theater

    Here's an idea for a fun, but creepy, TV show for either PBS or Noggin. How about Sesame Street Horror Theater? Where they take the scary classic SS skits and put them on a half hour show where Vincent Twice-Vincent Twice would be the host and introduce the skits. The following...

    Scary Sesame music

    Today my sister mentioned that what was really scary about classic SS was the creepy music. And I agree. Not only were some of those monsters scary looking, but the dark rumbling background music whenever a monster showed up was pretty intense as well. Like when Cookie finished eating...

    I remember an old episode where Mr. Hooper was gonna make pancakes the special of the day. Luis suggests he try serving enchiladas and writes it on the chalkboard menu. Then Luis leaves and Gordon comes in and suggests pigs in a blanket, so Mr. Hooper puts that on the menu too. Then Bob...
