    Muppet stamps unveiled for September release

    Originally they were slated for a March 15th release, but with the USPS, all release dates are tentative and subject to change. I guess they moved the stamps' release dates to when they felt was approprite, best, or easiest. I don't know if there is a solid reason behind it. It may have been...

    Your Thoughts: MC's Birthday

    I think that the "Guides" section has a lot of room for growth. Not just in finishing the last 3 season of The Muppet Show, but adding more guides; a Muppets Tonight guide, a Fraggle Rock guide, guide(s) to any Henson TV show(s), a song or lyric guide (as Fozzie Bear suggested), a TV Special...

    Did Bert and Ernie ever bathe together?

    I recall Ernie being in the tub with others; and I remeber Bert walking/looking in to the bathroon when Ernie was taking his bubble baths; but I can't recall a time they were both in in the tub together.

    They should make Dark Crystal/Labyrinth figures

    I would love to see action figures made of Darck Crystal and Labyrinth. But sadly I don't think they would be popular enough and sell well enough for someone like Palisades to produce them. But if they were made here's is what I would love to see: Dark Crystal: Jen, Kira (with Fizzgit)...

After finding the site it sat in my favorite places for some time, I would check regularly for my Muppet news fix, and too read some articles and whatnot in my free...

    Muppet reality pilot taped last summer

    All of them! Each week the episode would focus on one character's life inside and outside of the muppet boarding house (from MFS) and working on the show at the theater (from TMS). So one week it would be mainly a Kermit story, another week a Gonzo story, an Electric Mayhem story, then another...

    Education techniques have changed over 30 years and educators use new approaches to reach children. Family/home situations have changed. When counting to 40 was done, children also got reinforcement and support outside of sesame street, today when sesame counts to 10 this may be a totally new...

    Muppets' Wizard of Oz cast list

    To get back on topic of the casting... The cast list says: "These characters are currently "omitted" from speaking roles in the script", and Bobo the Bear and on the list. Now Bobo had a huge role in Muppets Tonight and an even bigger role in Muppets from Space; yet in IAVMMCM (where he had a...

    Muppets' Wizard of Oz cast list

    I'd love to take a wack at this horse......wasn't it the villian who was doing the "immoral act". I mean Doc Hopper was not real moral in The Muppet Movie - he tried to kill Kermit; Nicky tried to steal and frame piggy in the Great Muppet Caper...every great villian is a little immoral. The...

    Muppeteers who did full body Muppets

    Weren't there shots in one of the Muppet movies where Piggy was a little person in a "piggy suit"? If so, who was inside (and what shots/movie); if not am I going crazy?

    How do you go about fixing stuck joints?

    I would avoid freezing or boiling. Although some people have had sucess with these methods, I've hear some people share their personal horror stories of these methods - snapping parts off, removing paint, warpping parts, or shattering parts. Just slowly and gently work the joint to loosen it...
