    Statler & Waldorf on movies.com

    Probably. And there was a link on the front page for a few days. Btw, how were ya able to download it? I couldnt get it to open in a seperate window. It's too bad this was just a oneoff.

    Heir to the edgy throne

    Crank Yankers would be way way way low on my list of top puppet anything in my book, let alone edgy. I place it below Eureka's Castle and Today's Special. The Crank Yankers team were behind the "Kneehigh Park" sketch on the Dave Chappele show which I thought was hillarious. But Crank Yankers...

    Statler & Waldorf on movies.com

    If something is meant to be internal, it doesnt get linked on the front of a go.com site(as in movies.go.com, a Disney company) Anyways, I was convinced by statler/waldorf and pepe...tho I do like to know its Baretta doing Pepe. Staler/Waldorf can be done by anyone, since the baton has been...

    Grover on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" this Monday

    Man it's been ages since I've seen Grover outside of 'the street'. It's good to see Sesame characters on lat enight tv...heck it's good to see any Muppets on talk shows. I love how Kermit and Piggy were mentioned...it shows that the only people who care about the 'legality seperation'...

    Edgiest puppet show: Wonder Showzen

    What impresses me most about Wonder Showzen(youd have to have seen some of the episodes that have aired) is the overall feel. The show is more a spoof of early Sesame street than anything else. Anyone seen the 1969 pilot for Sesame Street? This totally reminded me of that...the cryptic...

    Edgiest puppet show: Wonder Showzen

    Well in the last few years, Ive seen stuff like Greg the Bunny and Crank Yankers, which billed themseleves on being 'edgy'...but didnt really deliver on much of anything. If youve seen a couple of these episodes, it taps into something more complex and daring than any of those other efforts.

    Edgiest puppet show: Wonder Showzen

    The puppetry itself is early Sesame quality, but it's the shows sheer subversive and caustic nature that I have never seen before on a cable broadcast show. The underlying social edict of it is surprisingly stark and almost serious. I definately see promise in this. I forgot to mention, this...

    My last post...

    It's called balance kid. For all those people hoplessly stuck on the net or retarded MMORPG's levelling up all day against orcs...there is a magical porta, that leads to the wonderous outside world. It's called a door. Ya can come back in and check what ya need to online when you return from...

    Could it be? KERMITAGE NOW OPEN!

    A lot more than that...only me, Kevin, Phil(of course), Luke, and a couple others have stuck around. Yep I have been here for 7 years on MC believe it or not:) Anyways, I hope sometime this year they will open the rest of the site up. Im glad Disney is allowing the site to still be an...

    The Muppets Take Tribeca Sweepstakes

    I hope whoever wins is truly a hardcore fan who can appreciate it. I remember in 1996 there was a 'win a trip to the set of Muppets Tonight' thing, and a couple years ago for some UK Muppets thing they had a 'Win a trip to hollywood to see the muppet studios'...so these muppet sweepstakes happen...

    MuppetFest 2?

    A few months before Muppetfest, I sold about $1000 worth of stuff on ebay just so I could travel down and get the gold package. BEfore that I literally had no money, so if something means that much to a person, anything can be accomplished. Due to my crazy shedule and lack of funds, it'd...

    Farscape goes Stargate

    Again, how is Stargate outlasting Farscape? I've never heard of a vocal Stargate community compared to the near religious zealousy of the Farscape fans.

    MuppetFest 2?

    Another thing to remember folks, is that now and then there can be little events here and there that can be used for Mupept fan gatherings. Like when Carrol Spinney did his book tour with Oscar, that could have been used for a Muppet fanmeetup (I know Im not shy to go up to other fans). That...

    MuppetFest 2?

    There is a remote possibility this summer as part of some sort of awareness celebration relaunch thingamajig that Disney may have a Muppets day or weekend. Sadly it might not be much more than team crew members in costumes.

    MuppetFest 2?

    Good to see people with a passion and enthusiasm for such a thing! Aw yes, 3.4 years ago(and 50 pounds heavier)...Muppetfest was something else. After all of us on Muppet Central from 1998 thru 2000 talking about having a fan get together...fooom! One day I'm logging onto MC(june 6th 2001) and...
