Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
I was reading on the wiki that the song was originally going to be called "be Our Ghost" and left in some references and I had trouble placing any.
Still, seriously? "We did that in a beastly cartoon?", as in rats did that in Beauty and the Beast?
Don't really know what a "croon" means.
During the "Life Hereafter" song in Muppets Haunted Mansion, at one point they make a reference to Beauty and the Beast.
One rat sings "we ain't rich and he can't groove" (and I kept having trouble understanding that line), and then another says "we did that in a beastly cartoon", to which...
When it comes to adult cartoons on the networks (not cable channels), Fox seems to do the most successful, while ABC, CBS, and NBC all seem to avoid adult cartoons.
Of course, once The Simpson’s began, ABC and CBS tried their hands at prime time cartoons and those failed. CBS tried Fish Police...
What's the deal with Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein having that title? It is the first of the "Abbot and Costello Meet..." series of films where they meet movie monsters, but in this first one, Dracula and the Wolf Man are featured just as prominently (maybe even more so) than...
In the second Simpson's Halloween episode, the segments are the nightmares of Lisa, Bart, and Homer, but all three could have just as well have been Homer's nightmares.
Lisa's nightmare seems more like Homer is the star. He's the one to buy the monkey paw, he's featured the most, he ends the...
One thing I wonder, and so far I haven’t seen anything in the book to indicate this, is if Pierre the French Rat appeared on Sam and Friends. I have seen some places on the official Henson site that say Pierre did appear, but then you never see him in any vintage photos with the cast. There’s no...
I got the book yesterday. I've been going all over the book, to various parts.
In the credits section, I always thought Jim Henson directed the show, and was surprised to see others listed as directors (with Jim Henson not listed at all). Jim Henson: The Works gave me the impression that he...
While it would be great if they could put out a DVD of all the surviving episodes (or at least all the ones that don't need clearances plus the ones they can clear), I've started thinking there should be a book of Sam and Friends scripts. And since it seems like many of the audio tracks still...
A few surprises for Muppet fans.... The only Henson shows I noticed here are The Muppet Show and Sesame Street.
When it comes to non-Henson shows, the biggest omissions in my mind are Newhart and a number of '90s Nickelodeon shows (Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, All That.... Salute Your Shorts...
I don't think the other people at the bank was really listening, nobody else is really shown listening, and I don't think Lenny really cared if they heard him or smelled BS.
Even if he really did literally smell BS, they might not have also smelled it and he could have been checking to see if...
This is the first I heard of the small arcade replica. I’d seen there was one for Ninja Turtles and thought there should be one for the Simpson’s (though the Turtles one is just three of the levels).
I think he means that he does not believe what is being said (some people refer to unbelievable things as BS - sometimes even the actual words) and pretending to smell something to be funny.
When Jerry Nelson was interviewed for Toughpigs, he said that he stopped performing Snuffy because he was a major character on the street and Nelson was spending a lot of time in England doing Sesame Street (though there is the fact that Richard Hunt performed the puppetry for one season and...
Looks like there's not really a Muppet Beach Party thread here (based on just one page of Google results).
I got the Muppet Beach Party album last April, I kept meaning to do a thread about this, and now I'm finally doing it.... When we only have a few days of Summer left.
I know the...
I've heard that the reason The Simpson's arcade game was never released on a home console (well, it was released on some computers, does that count as consoles?) was because a different company held the home console rights to Simpson's games.
The Simpson's arcade is well-regarded and...
I have seen productions that list a Muppet Studios copyright without saying that Muppet is a trademark (I feel these productions don’t even use the term in the credits). Almost makes it look as if Muppet Studios shares copyright with Sesame Workshop on the production (I know better, but would...
