    Big New Henson Alternative News!

    For fans of the Jim Henson HA! brand(I *love* how they brought back the 1980's HA! logo for this), it's time to rejoice! Henson Alternative of course began in 2006 with Puppet Up(webseries, live shows and TBS special), Tinseltown(sadly only the pilot ever aired), and Late Night Buffet/Del's...

    Speculation: The Muppets' 55th Anniversary Celebrations

    I would also add to that; a Muppetfest or Disney Weekend Muppet event sort of thing:)

    Muppets 101 & Disney Muppet passholder event

    So amazing to hear! I love hearing about actual live Muppets performed in front of people.(Caroll with Oscar at the book signings, Steve with Kermit in New York openings, PRell with Red Fraggle at Comic Con, and Gonzo by himself or with Elmo and Zoe back east) Anyways, sounds like an amazing...

    Anything Muppets on "30 Rock"

    Muppets Cameo On 30 Rock From Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, to the View, to Scrubs, (to yes, even Elmo with The Office creator Ricky Gervais) the Muppets have been everywhere on tv. Well recently the Muppets even had a random cameo on 30 Rock...

    Is Dinosaurs Really Muppet Worlds?

    Did you see the 10 minute Jim Henson Hour pitch tape as well as the Inner Tube pilot? There's virtually no Muppet looking characters, but almost all creature shop/full bodied creature shop puppet characters. I guess for me Creatures is defined by me as characters designed by the Jim Henson...

    Is Dinosaurs Really Muppet Worlds?

    Wow, that is Gunge! And he talks. Nice clip. Well, in rewatching the intro to Dinosaurs here( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HnNh2IguT8 ) that does seem pretty Muppety. And just look at all the little creatures that pop up in that intro...very...Muppet like. I usually associate "Creature...

    Rarest Muppet Figures...Ever

    Oh heck yeah, that is a pretty sweet Abelardo. Man that would be a dream come true to see figurines of some of the International Sesame Streets. Its kind of underground, as very few people in the US are even aware of other productions. It's like, they're secret:) I mean look at those...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Absolutely amazing! This is the first time I've seen the zany flow and chemistry of the Muppet Show feel right on in an illustrated translation since I first read the 1978 Muppet show book. Sure, it is written with a more modern humor/writing style in a lot of parts, and a few gags seemed to...

    "Where the Wild Things Are" Trailer

    This looks simply visionary...nay, astonishing. My goodness, Spike Jonze with the Jim Henson Creature Shop. I think the delay has been well worth the wait, and I am *so* glad this film looks to be 100% avant garde art house faire. (I can just imagine how sucky it'd be under the usual children's...

    "The Doozers" preschool series under development

    Whoah, wasn't expecting this. Well I for one hope the "Cgi" Jim Henson Muppet type shows for kids do well, be it this or Sid the Science Kid or Skrumps. That'd be a trip if this actually takes off, ala Dora Explorer or Veggietales. Definitely did not expect Fraggle Rock to come back to...

    eBay Scam: Muppet Chess Pieces as Loose Figures

    Man, some people. Someone on ebay is selling each Muppet chess piece as a "rare out of production Muppeet figure", and is charging $50 each for each piece: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Tonyas-Toy-Store-2__W0QQ_sidZ19659620?_nkw=muppets&submit=Search I can get an unsealed Muppet chess set...

    Is Dinosaurs Really Muppet Worlds?

    Oh no I agree 1000%. In fact, thats why I cant help tear up whilst seeing the last episode. However, what was cool is that each and every Fraggle could *then* go into our world as they pleased. "Outer Space", such a great concept and I know they are going to really run with that if that FR...

    Sesame Street Anounces Layoffs

    Let's just say, not is always as the fans here may think...and it just goes to show you the ugly true nature of politics and business, even with something like Sesame Street. As far as Im concerned, Big Bird, not Elmo is the true face of Sesame Street.

    Origins of the Muppetverse

    Whoah, that's a good thought. I think given the Muppets acknowledge Jim Henson, his role in the Muppetverse is that he was the first human to give them a chance and their first break. I tend to think stories like The Movie Movie are a loose composit of how they all met. Kermit being in a...

    Origins of the Muppetverse

    Yep! You can read all about it here: http://www.muppetnewsflash.com/2009/02/could-hensons-happytime-murders-lead-to.html It looks like it will include puppets from the HA Universe(Puppet Up, etc) and take place in that world. I definitely consider these guys all Muppets given so many of the...

    Is Dinosaurs Really Muppet Worlds?

    Maybe there's a portal from Fraggle Rock world to 60 some odd million years BC:)

    Is Dinosaurs Really Muppet Worlds?

    We I think it could be both, or at least we see Fraggles interact with Muppets and Sesame Street(MTM, MFC, Remembering Jim Henson, etc) I like the idea of "outer space", I think it bridges the gap. Within canon, perhaps the Fraggle main group were in Fraggle Rock but then had to get jobs...
