    The most tear-jerking Muppet moment...

    One of the saddest moments in The Christmas Toy is when Ditz the clown gets frozen; the whole playroom mourns at his "passing", and near the end, he miraculously "comes to".... Equally saddening is the moment when Rugby sings a sad song for Mew the stuffed mouse; Dave Goelz's performance (as...

    Something I just realized about Christmas specials

    After watching the first Garfield Christmas special, I'm still puzzled about what present Jon's mom got; his dad got a hat, Grandma got a new bowling ball and rediscovered letters, Doc Boy got a toy airplane, Jon got a sweater, and Garfield got a homemade back-scratcher....

    Anybody On Here Like Grinch Grinches The Cat In The Hat?

    Halloween is Grinch Night featured Hans Conried as the voice of the narrator and the Grinch, which seems to add some extra mischief to the Grinch. Hans Conried was noted for voicing such characters as Snidely Whiplash from Dudley Do-Right, Mr. Darling and Captain Hook from Disney's Peter Pan...

    Your Muppet mistakes

    Something I just realized about Christmas specials

    Something I just realized about Christmas specials

    So he paused, and the Grinch put a hand to his ear; and he did hear a sound rising over the snow; it started in low, then it started to grow.....

    Web Alert: Muppets as WWE Social Media Ambassadors December 10

    I watched Raw last night; this year, it was just Muppet tweets, compared to last year's special Muppets on Raw episode, which featured the Muppets live and in person. I'm hoping that this upcoming Tribute to the Troops special actually has live Muppet appearances....
