    Late Night Buffet Taping Summary: Not Enough Juice!

    That's hillarious, because NOONE outside of the Henson/Disney legal department considers a "Muppet" seperation between Sesame/Fraggle/Bear/Muppets and JHC. I mean Jim Henson Improv uses known Muppet characters, I don't see the big deal. Now to be fair, while I consider Animal Jam and Bear...

    New Article On Jim Henson's Puppet Improv

    Well isn't one of the puppets the possum on Statler and Waldorf at the movies and the koala from Animal Jam? Look at Mopatop in the UK or that Australian Jim Henson animal show; they all used and interchanged Muppets from all different eras and productions. I myself never saw a seperation...

    New Article On Jim Henson's Puppet Improv

    Another article on it: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14303350/ And FYI folks, for anyone that saw footage from Comic Con of this puppet troupe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmQpBIB8YPs Those DEFINATELY look like Muppets, and they might even be extras from Muppet productions.

    California Puppeteers Interested In Ambitious Star Wars Film?

    Just curious if their are any California area puppeteers interested in taking part in a rather ambitious Star Wars independent film(or "fan film") that will be filmed partly in the bay area and central CA as well as in other parts. There's been a few Star Wars "fan film shorts" made, but...

    Statler & Waldorf on movies.com

    Once can only hope, I'd love to see some test footage of these so called "new voices"....I'll reserve judgement for later. But it disturbs me we have no teven heard rumors of any new Muppet projects for the future. As for the new S&W @ the movies, LOVED IT! Best new episode in ages, and...

    What the Hey??

    Pretty nifty! I enjoyed the Beaker/Bunsen, Pepe at the beach, and naked skydiving part. Oddly enough, this Muppet Spotlight looked like it came from 1989...even tho its talking about very 2004 things:) Btw, anyone ever seen the Muppet Show Fox 2002 pilot pitch?

    MuppetFest: Discuss Original and Your Dreams

    That's what Im banking on...and in fact Im surprised Disney hasnt done one yet, like the Disney World Star Wars Celebration. I would be at Disneyland or WDW is a nanosecond if they had a weekend like that, but ONLY if some of the actual muppets and performers were there.

    Now all we need is legislature to scale back Elmo's World to 10 minutes, and increase the puppet air time:)

    MuppetFest: Discuss Original and Your Dreams

    In 2007 there HAS to be some sort of Muppet related gathering. *somehwere* to let yet another year pass since 2001 without one would be a shame.

    See Jim Henson’s Puppet Improv Company Live in Hollywood!

    Then you won't want to see it:) Seriously, this is a sad day when people think Jim Henson and their puppets have to be relegated to the children's bin exclusively...like Muppet Wizard of Oz was some great heralded triumph for children's cinema. I for one would LOVE to see a wildly over...

    Muppet Show: Sex and Violence(1974), Land of Gorch(1975-1976), and on and on and on... Wait, you were kidding right? Oh! You were kidding. Cool.

    Republicans Want To Get Rid Of PBS and Sesame Street

    Very good point beebers. You know my headline should have been "politicians want to snub out PBS", as I find both sides of the political aisle in power highly corrupt:) I wonder what fiscally conservative Sam the Eagle would have to say about this.

    Republicans Want To Get Rid Of PBS and Sesame Street

    Yeah when I say Republicans, I don't mean your average conservative...I mean the right wingers. As even my conservative republican friends can't believe they want to do away with PBS. I'm not of any political party or ideology, so if it was liberals and democrats wanting this I'd be just as...

    New Talk Show: Late Night Buffet

    Yeah, they bought the "Muppet" name, but come on...it's still Muppets even if they cant use the trademark name. Are we going to say Fraggles and Sesame arent Muppets since they can't use that name anymore? Anyways, very curious about this. Wish it was network tv tho.

    New Talk Show: Late Night Buffet

    To EVERYONE except the Disney legal team, any non creature shop/fantasy puppt created by Henson company before or after the Disney buyout is considered a "Muppet"...be they Muppet Show, fraggle Rock, Sesame Street, Bear, or even Animal Jam. It's all Muppets. Otherwise Muppetcentral would no...

    School bans Sesame Muppet Shirts

    So I take it they go to Bear In The Big Blue Crack House? Actually I remember seeing back in 1997 a site called "Sesame Hood", that actually had some pretty good children's book illustrations of the Sesame characters all gang membered out.
