In the last few days, I've been thinking a lot about the Goosebumps book series by R.L. Stein and thought I'd start a thread for the series. I first heard of Goosebumps when I was in the fourth grade, the 1993-1994 school year, when my teacher read us "Let's Get Invisible". Then I heard that...

Enjoy this series of fan fics celebrating the 45th anniversary of Sesame Street. It's primarily outlines for a ficticional television series celebrating the 45th anniversary of Sesame Street, in 45 episodes. Each episode will be posted in this thread, and I plan to do a few per day (some days...

I thought I'd start an appreciation thread for Camille Kampouris (aka Camille Bonora, before she was married). She was a major Muppet performer throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and then it seems like she stopped. She's one of the few long-running performers whose departure we know nothing about...

Well, it's been announced that Funko will release a series of vinyl Sesame Street figures, starting with a Super Grover exclusive, and a full series being released in 2015, consisting of Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Grover, Oscar, and The Count. http://www.toughpigs.com/funko-ss/

So most Sesame Street albums were either new recordings or a collection of pre-existing material (whether the recordings were on previous albums or taken from the shows recordings), but have there ever been any Sesame Street albums that had both existing recordings and original recordings?

Here's something that's been on my mind today: Which characters have been in the highest number of rare clips that we really want to see? I thought I'd try to tally up some for me. Of course, it's probably a given that characters who were primarily "street scene characters" (Big Bird, Oscar...

Chapter 1 Kermit was having a meeting backstage at the Muppet Theater. "Okay, everybody, listen up", said Kermit. Everybody turned their ears towards the ceilling. Kermit scrunched his face. "Anyway, the health and safety inspector is going to be here any minute..." "And that...

According to the Mean Mama page at Muppet Wiki, Mean Mama's last appearance was in an episode of Dog City (and the page has a picture from her appearance). However, it is not said which episode she appeared in. I checked "what links here" but couldn't find any Dog City episodes, and then I...

I found this on the Toughpigs forum: http://www.toughpigs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Sesame-Street-New-Writer-Memo.pdf Norman Stiles had sent it to tough pigs. It's a guide for new Sesame Street writers (well, obviously it's from the early 1970s), instructing them on how to write for the...

The following fan fic is a continuation of the events of my previous fan fiction "Fozzie's Comedy Tour", though you don't need to read that fan fic to enjoy this one. But just in case, here's that fan fic http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/fozzies-comedy-tour.57238/ Chapter 1...

Entertainment Weekly has posted an interview with Brian Henson. http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/04/15/henson-creature-shop-farscape-fraggle-rock-dinosaurs/ It's interesting how Brian thought that three movies where the Muppets play themselves was enough. Really??? Also interesting that he says...

Since the past decade, it's been a lot more common for Muppet productions to throw in references to past productions for the fans to enjoy. The last two movies have all kinds of nods to past productions (and a few similarites to past productions that may or may not be coincidence), but we also...

As I was scrolling Netflix, I found The Muppet Show... and then The Jim Henson Show (the MuppeTelevision segments of The Jim Henson Hour)... and then Muppet Babies, and Muppets Tonight, and Hey Cinderella, and The Muppets Go to the Moives, and most of the movies, and "Muppet Shorts" (which...

It's just been announced that, after the success of last Thanksgiving's Lady Gaga special, that the Muppets are now going to do a special with various pop stars from the 1980s, but mostly Belinda Carlisle. The special will be entitled "Belinda Carlisle and the Muppets Karaoke Jam", and will...

After seeing the scene in Muppets Most Wanted where Bobby Benson's babies help the bad guys, it got me wondering: Could (or, more importantly, should) a Muppet movie feature an existing obscure character working undercover for the Muppets but really being a bad guy? I'm not talking about...

Enjoy this new fan fic, in which Fozzie Bear goes on a comedy tour. The humor might be a little dark (though I don't intend any dark humor to come from the Muppets). Chapter 1 Fozzie was outside the Muppet theater, getting ready for a comedy tour. "I can't believe my manager managed...

I haven't done any "vs" threads in quite awhile, so I thought it be fun to do this thread, asking which is better: The Muppets on Puppets or The Secrets of the Muppets? Both are specials hosted by Jim Henson explaining how his characters work, with the Muppets being presented as real even...

Something I've been wondering lately: During the original run, what days/time of days was the show typically broadcast? I assume it was once a week (there's not enough episodes for it to have been a daily show, unless it just lasted a season or two). Was it broadcast on Saturday morning? Any...

A few months ago there was a similar thread regarding the Sesame Street timeline, but I feel it might be fun to do a similar one regarding the timeline of The Jim Henson Company. I put this in the General Discussions because I couldn't determine what Henson Company folder it would be most...

Somebody suggested this to me a few years ago, and after so much procrastination, I've finally gotten around to listing an index of most of my fan fiction. And I've got to tell you, this sure has been hard for me. I procrastinated for a long time, in part because I didn't think about copying...
