    Easy, easy! Calm down. Think of Niagara Falls.

    Bringing Back the Bells...

    So put in the episode and time it so that Doc is ringing his bell at the time of the solstice. There, all bases covered. :)

    Bringing Back the Bells...

    It will happen at 12:11 PM on Saturday morning in the Eastern time zone. Here's a page that lists the exact time by city. I'm definitely in!

    E-mail for Muppet Show DVD seasons 4 & 5

    And I'm expressing mine, which is that you were out of line there. If you think that someone can just contact Disney and get info on those DVDs, by all means go for it. Be sure to let us know what you find out.

    E-mail for Muppet Show DVD seasons 4 & 5

    They may no longer have the inside contacts they used to. The contacts they have may not be giving out any information at all. They can't force Disney to tell us anything if Disney's policy is to say nothing. Calling these people lazy, cowardly liars is, in my opinion, uncalled for.

    The Saddest thing that reminds you that you're old...

    In high school I took computer classes to get away from trig, calculus, and other such unfathomable-to-me weirdness. Instead, I learned BASIC on pre-Macintosh, green-screen Apple computers such as Doc had in his workshop. Back then, it was practically a joke that I went into computer study to...

    40 movies you (might) regret showing your kids

    The Oogieloves has none of that nasty scary stuff that this article points out. Yet I have the feeling that anyone who took their children to see that would still regret it.

    My Muppet Show App Discussion/Updates

    I upgraded the dressing rooms first chance I got. I'd been wanting more space for Snowths and chickens and future premium characters, and I didn't have the diamonds earmarked for anything else. If you don't feel the need for the space and want to use the diamonds for something else, then of...

    40 movies you (might) regret showing your kids

    Hey, some people took their kids to see Ted, an R-rated movie, because it had a teddy bear on the poster. And there were people, back when I performed with a RHPS cast, who would bring their very young kids to the (midnight) showings, not having the foggiest notion of what they were getting...

    Puppet-in-Progress: From the foam up

    I've been working on an illustration project for some months, which is why I haven't been doing anything puppet-wise. Well, I finished that up, and finally have the time to start on a new puppet. So...

    40 movies you (might) regret showing your kids

    *chuckle* I can't take things like this seriously. By this yardstick--don't scare the children or expose them to death--Fraggle Rock would be off-limits. I don't LOL, but I did mentally chuckle then I came to Charlotte's Web and A Christmas Story. There went any remaining shred of that...

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    Some of the Fraggle Rock books were adaptations of the episodes, like Marooned and Wembley's Egg. I wonder if she wrote those? Hope so; having one of the show's main writers handle that would be a sure way to keep them faithful to the original show. The challenge of the map leading to the...

    BONUS features

    The Viviendi box set is just a repackaging of the Lyons/HIT DVDs and the existing DVDs of the animated series. That's it. Unless you're really excited about the extra pack-ins--a plush Red keychain fob (meh) and a tiny 4-page "graphic novel" (which was reprinted in Archaia's Fraggle Rock...

    Muppet fic: Once in a Lifetime

    I wanted to have a good spread of personalities. Tessie and Pepper were the only ones I had planned out, the rest sort of happened. Looks like Molly's "cute little doll" act isn't a shtick; she's pretty much like that for real.

    My Muppet Show App Discussion/Updates

    Generic chickens come in threes. Camilla is by herself, and will probably have some distinguishing markings, like blue eyelids. We'll know when we see her. The chickens cluck, and, again, we'll see what Camilla's contribution is. This game has new characters of varying quality. They are...

    Muppet fic: Once in a Lifetime

    Charlietheowl: Scooter's not going to rest easy about Janken talking to Fleet. He trusts Janken, but, let's face it, Fleet is a sneaky adversary and Janken is still, well, innocent. He's already gotten one bit of info out of Janken, and you can bet he'll tug on that thread and see what...

    My Muppet Show App Discussion/Updates

    There's been one more change, which is easily overlooked: the dressing rooms can be upgraded to "Decadent Digs", with 60 rooms each. Hot dang! Now I can get back all those Snowths and chickens I had to sacrifice for the special edition Muppets. Next week we will get the new stage, and the...

    Muppet fic: Once in a Lifetime

    Grab one of the many muffins in this thread and sit back for another chapter of Once in a Lifetime Part 8: Behind the Wheel of a Large Automobile by Kim McFarland ***** It was the second day of filming for Teeny Weeny Queenies. It was not quite as difficult for Piggy to go in, now that...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I used to watch both those shows when I was a kid. They were on at a time when I wanted to watch something, and my sister and I could agree on 'em. They were no great shakes, but we enjoyed them for what they were. In other news, I watched the M*A*S*H episode "Foreign Affairs" last night...

    Muppet fic: Once in a Lifetime

    Huh, I don't remember that scene. Knowing Scooter, he was probably selling popcorn somewhere. Was it sardine flavored?
