TMS, and the early-period Muppet specials and movies (at least prior to MTM) always had a really unique-sounding piano stringer whenever it was needed in the score, whether if it was during TMS theme (especially Rowlf's "square" solo when The Electric Mayhem went anklin'), or whenever a...

I saw on the front page of the paper today that records (y'know, those large, round, flat, black vinyl things with the grooves on the surface that you used to listen to music on before CDs were invented?) are apparently making a comeback, listing such vinyl albums from the likes of The Beatles...

I'm just curious, aside from plastic, which I don't believe I would be able to obtain, what sort of material would make for a good pair of glasses for a puppet? Considering that the glasses and the eyes would all be one piece (ala similar to glasses with eyes painted on the lenses)? For...

There's been some speculation and predictions that Blue Sky was going to continue with the Ice Age franchise, and apparently, those speculations are being confirmed, as July 2012 is going to see the release of a fourth installment (the current working titles are "Ice Age 4: The Continental...

I'm seeing ads for a DVD being released February 1, called "Silly Storytime", with "special guest star Kermit the Frog". Is it safe to assume this is a DVD re-release of the "Big Bird's Storytime" VHS from the 80s where Maria reads stories to Big Bird and Snuffy from the newspaper, and all...

This is sort of a spin-off of the "Noticable changes to the set" thread. In the old days of the show (pre Season 30), each end of the street had a backdrop flats that depicted a continuation of a city street, thus making Sesame Street seem longer than it actually is. I'm sure that if that...

On behalf of myself, and quite a few other people who have been trying to reach you for a while now... Clean out your inbox already, will ya? ! :crazy:

I never really gave much thought to astology and whatnot, but for years I've been aware that my sign is Gemini (the twins), which makes sense, because at times, I DO feel like I can be two completely different people. However, some astologist in Minnesota is saying it's all wrong, because the...

As of late, I've been doing more and more Muppet (and SST) artwork on deviantART, and I'm certainly happy to see that it's going over so well, because frankly, I was getting sick of everybody who watches me being interested only in my Alvin and The Chipmunks artwork, which I've been working...

Another one of my trivial observations, but until recently, this is something that went by me... Has anyone noticed that continuity error with the time of day during the special? - Everyone leaves the skating rink and journeys home, while it's sunset. - Big Bird and Patty meet up with...

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/80-greatest-moments-tv-history-60936 Unfortunately, the Muppets (in general) is rather far down on the list at 78, but SST did a bit better at 29.

So many people are always complaining about how SST isn't the same anymore, and that it's not as good today as it was when they grew up with it: a lot of people cite because of the constant "modernization" of the sets, characters, show and educational content, etc, but yesterday, after reading...

For those who maybe have digital cable, or some sort of satellite, or whatever, there's a new channel called hub, which could very well be the answer to our prayers... The channel seems to be heavily family-oriented, which all kinds of programming, from cartoons, to live-action sitcoms and...

2010 is just about over... where's Season Four of TMS on DVD that Disney promised us this year? :attitude:

I just read that last month, the puppet world has lost yet another great. Van Snowden had quite an impressive career as a puppeteer, from doing extensive work with Sid & Marty Krofft on a number of their shows (including being the only puppeteer who was willing to deal with being inside H.R...

We need a thread for Hollywood's spuddliest stud... er... studdliest spud... er, whatever. Either way, Mr. Potato Head's been a part of our lives for the past few decades, not just as a favorite childhood toy, but as quite the character in entertainment, whether appearing in the Toy Story...

Several people have urged me to join a union for being in the entertainment industry, some saying I should join SAG (Screen Actor's Guild) and/or DGA (Director's Guild of America). I've been thinking, however, for someone like mean, who's not only a puppeteer, but a producer who does almost...

Of course I've been watching SST for 21 years now, and after all these years of watching, including the old school era, I JUST now noticed something that I bet others haven't noticed before either... We all know through the 70s into the early 90s, there was a brick wall behind Big Bird's nest...

Has anyone besides me noticed the increase in television puppetry used in commercials as of late? Previously, they had been few and far between, like the Barnone dog, the Fandango bag puppets, and even the Hungry monster from Weight Watchers... but now, puppets are popping up more and more in...

This thread is based on two things, 1. Huey Lewis suing Ray Parker, Jr. because he felt Parker's theme from Ghostbusters sounded too similar to his own "I Want a New Drug" and 2. We have a misheard lyrics thread, so why not a songs that sound similar to each other thread? Aside from the whole...
