The books of Dr. Seuss are loved by all, though most of the recent film adaptations play very 'fast and loose' with Seuss' intentions. So, since THE LORAX has been out for a few weeks now, I thought it would be fun to throw around ideas for future film versions of Dr. Seuss books. Here's my...

Note: Yes, John is singing a showtune, but he's doing it in Muppet voices, which makes this video's inclusion on this forum totally legit. If you don't like showtunes, you have two options: 1) Don't watch the video, or 2) Watch it and keep your flanhole shut. Anyhoohow, this is a video of...

About halfway through the celebrity version of 'Put Down the Duckie', there's an extreme close-up of a British man and woman who say in extremely harsh and stern tones: "PUT DOWWWWWN THE DUCKAY, YES YOU'VE GOTTTT TO LEAVE THE DUCK 'LONE!". Who are these people? When I was little, I was...

I remember years ago when Carol Bolt (writer of "I Don't Care") passed away, we started a tribute thread for her. So, I figured since MC wasn't around when B.P. Nichol (Kathy Mullen's favorite FR writer) passed, I would start a tribute thread for him. Name your favorite B.P. episode and...

Boober is, of course, the great worrier of the Fraggle five. But I can think of at least two episodes where Boober's concerns were justified (The River of Life and Bored Stiff). I'm sure there's more examples; can you guys think of more?

I haven't heard much love for the newest batch of smilies; I love them! However, there's one smilie that I have trouble matching with its respective Muppet: (:ouch:). Which Muppet is this?

I need y'all's advice about how to deal with a fair-weather friend. Her name's Anna and we did a show together three years ago. We were never 'besties' but we got along well enough. Later that year I got in a big fight with one of her friends, Donna. Since then, Anna has socialized more with...

I'm speaking of course of the brilliant satirical comic strip by Wiley Miller. However, the purpose of this thread is more of an expose` than a tribute. Wiley includes his e-mail address in every strip in case a fan would like to give feedback. So I decided to take advantage of this and ask for...

On a lark, I watched a little Sesame Street today and I was introduced to a new human character I had never seen on the Street before. I believe her name was Lena, but Muppet Wiki doesn't have a listing for this specific character under that name. Anyway, the interesting thing about Lena was...

So, I just got done watching Muppet Classic Theater for the first time in about fifteen years; here were my thoughts as I was watching. -This must be one of the first projects where Gonzo wore that horrid plaid blazer. Has he worn that beyond the 90's? -Ah, Gonzo and Rizzo as a team! Easily...

My dad is having his gallbladder removed in two weeks. We're a lot more hopeful that there will be no complications, but it's still major surgery all the same, so thoughts and prayers are still appreciated!

Besides a few cameos here and there and appearences in series retrospectives, we don't really see much of Herry Monster around the Street anymore. Would it be safe to assume that he's been retired?

I've been reading a great book called "Cinderella Ate My Daughter!" by Peggy Orenstein about how little girls are being desensitized by society and the media. Anyway, there’s a chapter about how most merchandise and children’s show characters are associated with the color pink in one way or...

I'm very sad about this; Keane seemed like a great, warm-hearted person and family man. Also, I'm a huge fan of the comic strip; it still never fails to give me belly laughs that even the more topical and cynical strips don't...

Two greats have left us. Legendary and lovably grumpy 60 Minutes commentator Andy Rooney passed away at age 92: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20540043,00.html The other is a character actor who had a long and varied career: Sid Melton, who was 94. I will always remember him as Sal...

What I mean by this is Pepe started out on MT! and gradually became a stand-out character in all subsequent projects. This started out as a good thing: he was enjoyable to watch and audiences welcomed the idea of a new character to stand beside well loved standards like Kermit and Fozzie. But...

I recently re-watched "The Secret Society of Poohbahs" and as the camera transitions to Doc's Workshop towards the end of the episode, if you listen closely Gobo says "We'll try to get Boober to join next week!" (or something to that effect). Do you think he would finally realize the silliness...
