I knew it!

I heard lots of cackling when Fozzie and Peter were doing their lecture on "post-Dickensian...whatever it is." But if you really want to hear Richard lose it, watch the episode with Valerie Harper, and stay alert during the Swedish Chef skit (the one with the Japanese cake). You can hear him...

I know, the Peter Ustinov episode is one of Season 1's best, isn't it? (casts a knowing glance in Richard's direction) And not just because we can hear a certain Muppeteer laughing like the proverbial hyena off-camera during numerous sketches. Richard: (trying to look innocent) Would I know...

Almost forgot: I'd have liked to see George Harrison appear on the show.

I'd say this train went off the track five minutes out of the station. Mr. Adler: If I may...(others brace themselves for an onslaught of psychiatric jargon) I am of the opinion that this thread has multiple schizoid personalities, stemming from deep-rooted repressions and secret desires of...

I'd still like to know who played the two backup singer-sleuths. Personally, I think one of them was Richard Hunt, and the other was either John Lovelady or Jim Henson.

I like OhBoy and WhatDoYouSay (I think it's actually Whaddayasay, but who cares).

Here are a few of my picks. I would have wanted to see more musicians on the show, maybe even a few more whole bands. Emerson, Lake and Palmer (the whole band) Eric Clapton Ronnie Spector (maybe with the rest of the Ronettes, perhaps?) Irene Cara Annie Lennox Lionel Richie Mark Knopfler...

I don't trust Disney at all these days. The way I see it, they're not concerned with making good films these days; they're just obsessed with bringing in money and being so "hip" it's disgusting. Not to offend anyone or anything, but my mother thinks that Disney's ownership of the Muppets...

Oh, man. That's terrible, Bubble Guy. Here's hoping she pulls through.

I wasn't born in Jersey (born in AK, back when Dad was in the Air Force), but I'm considered a Jersey girl by virtue of accent and genetics. Both my parents and their respective families hail from north/central Jersey (Dad was born in Jersey City, Mom in Somerville). And we go to visit them all...

Yeah, it's got their web address listed right at the top of the paper: iht.com. It's a good, intelligent paper with lots of good, balanced coverage, the thinking man's subway (or tube or metro, whichever term you want to use) paper. Mr. H. definitely had good taste.

No, no plaques or little tidbits of info on the park maps. We could tell that it was the place because we recognized certain landmarks from the film, like the townhouses, the soccer pitch in the middle and the boating lake where Kermit and Miss Piggy had their fight (the bike rental stand isn't...

Plus it's easy enough to cram into a backpack or a briefcase. The IHT: recommended by nine out of ten Muppeteers for reading while sitting around partially in costume as Sweetums.

Oh, my, are we splitting hairs over the meanings of certain words again? Last time it was 'indefatigable.' (runs off to grab Webster's) Just thought I'd mention this: my family and I just came home from spending five days in England and one in France, and I brought home a few copies of the...

Hoo boy, the gofer's really hacked off (dons flak jacket, army helmet and boots, grabs shovel and runs out to backyard to continue work on bomb shelter begun during another fanfic).

Well, not really. But my family and I visited the park where they filmed it while we were in London last week (that's why I haven't posted anything in the last several days), and I wanted to mention that. We flew in late Friday morning/early Friday afternoon, and we were all a little wasted...

Ah, so that's why I hadn't heard anything about it for some time. August-November release date...if they stick to their deadlines, it might be out in time for my 21st.

What I'd like to know is, who were the guys in the Mutations suits? Were those some of the Muppeteers in there or did they bring in a team of dance doubles?

There was the one in season one in which he was making Swedish meatballs...which made excellent bouncy balls. Sketch culminated in Chef using the balls to play tennis with Statler and Waldorf.
