    Fraggle Rock Season 1 arrives September 6

    Who exactly is there. I would expect Jerry Nelson , Seve Whitmire, Dave Goelz, and Karen Prell (Too bad Kathy Mullen wasn't there.) Anyone else? Jerry Juhl, Gerry Parkes, Cheryl Wagner, any Hensons?

    Hey Cinderella Pilot

    There is a very small handful of Henson projects that I (and I would assume others) know little about - mainly the older "hidden gems", rare pilots, and other stuff. I was looking though some articles today and read that in 1965 Jim taped a pilot called "Hey Cinderella!" -- this is not "The...

    Movin' on up As of 4:00pm on August 24th, "Fraggle Rock: Complete First Season" ranks at #43 and is climbing. I'm sure by September 6th (when it actually is released) it will be much higher!

    November's Special Edition DVD's are pan-and-scan only

    I strongly urge everyone to call or write about this. If sales are low (due to the lack widescreen and/or features) Disney may just think that Muppet DVDs don't sell and no one really cares about the Muppets. But if sales are low and there is a stack of letters, e-mails and phone calls that...

    Muppet Central Radio?

    Actually before you reach 1,221 it'll become a palindrome (something that is the same forwards as backwards) at 1,111 (that's 110 less than 1,221). So only 110 more posts untill you palindrome again. ;) Not that that matters...

    Although most of the features have been locked-in and announced (look here: http://muppetnewsflash.blogspot.com/2005/08/early-muppet-special-edition-specs.html), there are some other small things I think would be nice to have included - however at this point I don't know how likely that will be...

    First to go on a frog...

    I would say the feet go first, but then remembering Kermit's "Happy Feet" tap dance routine (and all his other dancing) makes me want to say tounge. But after seeing Kermit snag Horace with his big ol' tounge on his way back to the swamp at the start of "Kermit's Swamp Year" makes me want to...
