Rank your favorite Palisades figures from your collections based on sculpt, character likeness, articulation, and playable/poseable factor. Here are mine: Series 1: Kermit, Dr. Teeth, and Beaker (excellent all-around) Series 2: Fozzie Bear, Crazy Harry, and Animal (extra points for Animal's...

Since Sesame Street is approaching its 50th season, I wanted to ask the MC community: what are your favorite/most memorable moments from any particular season? Please list your favorite songs, sketches, films, and cartoons, not just "important" moments like Maria & Luis's wedding, or Snuffy's...

I've been on this forum for over five years, and I think it's time for me to do this, following in the footsteps of other MCF members that created similar threads. Go ahead and ask me anything, as long as it's forum-appropriate and not too personal.

Most of you are familiar with my Sesame Street "old school outlines" and original Muppet Show episode scripts. But lately I've been working on something completely different. Imagine, if you will, a parallel universe in which Gina's love life is examined more closely and her relationship with a...

So Adam Savage, the co-host of the long-running and extremely popular show Mythbusters, has some connections to Sesame Street. You might recognize some of the segments that he mentions. Maybe that's how he got his start in animation, and then moved on to engineering and co-hosting Mythbusters...

This photo shows a behind-the-scenes shoot from the mid- to late 1970s, showing Jim, Frank, Jerry, and Richard filming a Muppet insert with Ernie, Bert, Count von Count, and Sully. The photo has been featured in Jim Henson: The Works, for example, and has surfaced a lot on the internet. But...

So I've really gotten into the Sesame Street classics episodes from iTunes and thought, "I should try making some original outlines." These outlines are between seasons 3 and 10; the golden years, if you will, of SS. ***I have tried to make these as original as possible. If any street scenes in...

Most of you are familiar with my Muppet Show outlines and artwork. But since I don't have as much time for that, I am resorting to short poems and haikus (thanks to the MC member who inspired me with her own haiku thread). So we kick off the proceedings with a few haikus about the Muppet...

1976, from a show hosted by Peter Gzowski (name unknown). Interesting to note how the audience loves Cookie to death, but goes silent when Frank is talking. Sheesh. Some audience. But I like how the host feeds Cookie...he's prepared.

What are the most overrated/underrated songs from any Muppet TV show/production? I'll start with underrated songs: "Bert's Love Song" from Sesame Street's Love album. So beautiful, and Frank Oz delivers a startlingly good vocal performance. Same goes for "A Song from Kermit" and Chrissy and...

You know, it's that comedy improvisation show where "everything is made up and the points don't matter." Drew Carey hosts and Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, and Wayne Brady are the stars. I just discovered this show this year...and I am hooked. Anyone else on this forum like this show? What are...

So Muppeteer Martin Robinson (the man inside Snuffy & under Telly) coined this term for the obscure SS characters that never caught on with audiences or were removed from the show after a while (Sam the Robot, Kingston Livingston III, Rodeo Rosie, Salesman, Nobel Price, Monty, and so on). This...

Hi all, I have been wondering who at CTW (now Sesame Workshop) had the responsibility of choosing inserts for each episode. What kind of method or process have the SS staff used to choose which inserts, and what order they go in? How do they decide which Muppet insert to put in (Ernie & Bert...

So I originally put this on the Funny Picture Thread a few days ago, but I was told to create a new thread. So I did. :) It doesn't have to be Muppet-related...it just has to be really funny :laugh: AND appropriate :attitude: for this forum. Let me start with these modern classics:

Just for the sake of consolidating all my outlines: I will add future outlines directly to this thread without any links. 1. Paul McCartney: http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/the-muppet-show-with-paul-mccartney.53289/ 2. David Bowie...

(Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4) (Part 5) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLtBIrpwWZc (Part 6) I didn't find any threads here on this TV documentary. I just want to say that this is just as incredible as the actual Muppet shows and movies. I am simply amazed by how everything works, and...

I have been drawing the Muppets for years. It all started at the age of 4, with Sesame Street and the original Muppet movies from 1979-1984. Please enjoy my latest pieces of art, most of which are holiday-themed. I'm sorry about the quality of some of these: I tend to draw using heavy pencil...

THE MUPPET SHOW with special guest star James Taylor (season 3) Cold Open: (A knock at the door, and Scooter enters James Taylor’s dressing room.) Scooter: James Taylor? Oh, fifteen seconds ‘til curtain, Mr. Taylor! James: Thanks, Scooter. (James is playing his acoustic guitar when Behemoth...

THE MUPPET SHOW with special guest star Billy Joel (season 4) Cold Open: (Scooter knocks on the door and enters.) Scooter: Billy Joel? Fifteen seconds ‘til curtain, Mr. Joel! Billy Joel: Thank you, Scooter. (Billy is in a T-shirt, and is working out with a punching bag. He wipes his brow with...

THE MUPPET SHOW With special guest star Stevie Nicks (late Season 5) Cold Open: (Pops is behind his desk, reading a newspaper. The headline reads: “LARGEST BALONEY SANDWICH IN WORLD BUILT IN FORT LEE, NJ.”) Pops: Heh! That’s a lotta baloney if I ever heard it! (The backstage door opens...
