Knowing how much Jim loved to play with new technology before it even really caught on, I feel like this is something he probably would have been dabbling in long before now:

I don't know if this might be a little too . . . peculiar, or maybe even morbid, but recently, I've really been curious about something. . . . If anyone has ever watched shows like AMERICA'S MOST WANTED, or more recently, THE HUNT WITH JOH WALSH, you know that quite often whenever a perpetrator...

http://awards.wga.org/wga-awards/2017-morgan-cox-award-dan-wilcox Although the article barely mentions it, Dan Wilcox did quite a bit of writing for the early years of SST, including skits, songs, and even storybooks. Matter of fact, he and Thad Mumford both wrote for SST before moving onto...

I know there's been threads like this before, but the only ones I can still find are really ancient, and only have maybe a couple of posts each (and others are for specific seasons that had yet to air), so I think it would be a good idea to have a fresh start, and have a new thread for sharing...

Well, it's after the new year, so that means we can finally start up a new frown thread, right? Anyway, I just found out today that my new insurance is basically forcing me to switch to a new pharmacy, even though I've been using the same one for practically all my natural life.

2016 just had to claim another soul, this time, Father Mulcahy from M*A*S*H. And the irony is that another M*A*S*H castmember, Wayne Rogers, died last year on New Year's Eve. But then again, there's also the eeriness surrounding McLean Stevenson (TV Henry Blake) and Roger Bowen (movie Henry...

MeTV wrote up a brief little article about Emmet Otter for their Christmas e-newsletter today, in case anyone would like to take a brief gander at it: http://metv.com/stories/lets-not-forget-about-emmet-otters-jug-band-christmas

Thanks for all your dedicated efforts of keeping MC the :batty: place that it is, filled with :zany:s and :crazy:s! Enjoy yourself, and watch out for those :fishy:!

http://www.gq.com/story/michael-caine-muppet-christmas-carol-interview It's wonderful how so many of these people really enjoy and have great experiences with doing Muppet movies like this; I remember similar anecdotes from Mandy Patinkin saying how much he enjoyed doing EIG because he was...

I guess death has to ramp up before 2016 is over, because now Bernard Fox has died. This guy was like the ultimate character actor in the 60s, it was on so many different shows as different characters - I always remember him first and foremost as Dr. Bombay from BEWITCHED, but he was also...

As much as I've criticized CGI replacing puppets and animatronics in movies, I have to admit, seeing the comparisons side by side, Yoda actually does look a little more natural in CGI.

http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/amy-schumer-to-star-in-live-action-barbie-film-w453657 Seriously . . . what are they thinking?! Whose brilliant idea was it to have one of the nastiest, dirtiest, raunchiest, classless, promiscuous, distasteful, disgusting creatures in Hollywood to...

I don't know if anyone here remembers the DO THE RIGHT THING parody on YouTube from ten years ago that was essentially an abridged version of the movie with the Fisher-Price SST playset and Little People, but it was a really big thing back when it first came out, I remember. Well, it would...

This is something I've been observing for years, and I see that given their distinct design that Big Bird's hands seem to keep their shape remarkably well, particularly more recent versions of the puppet - if you look at earlier Big Bird puppets, you can see wrinkles and creases in his hands...

We used to have this thread, but it's evidently been deleted (that seems to becoming a common trend around here anymore). Anyshoe, I don't believe I ever posted in the original thread, because there's just really not a song out there that's ever really made me cry before . . . or so I thought...

I haven't seen Gary Friedman upload anything new to YouTube in quite some time, but he recently produced and directed a short film called BUILD THAT WALL - basically, a somewhat what-if scenario if Drumph actually does, indeed, build that wall that he so keeps bragging about: You know American...

Since the old one was deleted, and it was just started to be active again, might as well start a whole new thread and continue the fun. 1. Did you do anything in honor of Jim Henson's birthday today? 2. What post-Jim Muppet/Henson project do you think Jim would be most proud of if he could see...

MeTV puts out a weekly newsletter about various different classic shows, and this week they're listing shows that are celebrating their 40th anniversary, including TMS: http://metv.com/lists/7-incredibly-popular-shows-turning-40-this-year We're all going to be discussing TMS's 40th...

I've been curious as to how certain episodes were selected to be included in the SSU package that aired on Noggin. Season premiere episodes, I can understand, as well as the inclusion of multi-episode story arcs (the trip to Hawaii, Camp Echo Rock, etc.) and significant episodes such as Maria...

While I confess that I've never exactly been a fan of hers, I would still say that hers was a Cinderella story, similar to Lindsey Stirling, that was admirable and no doubt inspiring for some out there. But there are no way to put into words just how deplorable and horrible it was for her to be...
