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.
“Um, like, Piggy, honey—you have a run in your stockings,” Janice said, half-apologetically.
Piggy looked down in exasperation. “What—again?” she mumbled, cursing the pantyhose gods thoroughly. Too late to send an underling out for more, she thought despairingly, and Scooter never seemed...
“Oh, c’mon Piggy—it will be fun!”
“It will be cold!”
Kermit came up behind her and tried to slip his arms around her waist. It was a testament to how angry she was at him that she succumbed for only a moment before turning on him, her blue eyes snapping with accusations.
“This was...
Is it possible to search for more than one word at a time among the posts? For example, if I see a post about someone's story or an article on the forum, and I want to locate the original post by title, either I'm doing something wrong, or it will only let me search for one word at a time. So...
A Pig Out of Water
“Kermit,” Piggy said urgently. “Can I talk to you for a minute?”
“Sure, Piggy,” Kermit said absently. “Just give me a second here.” He signed his signature hastily and turned to her. “Yes?”
Piggy gave him a frustrated look. “In your office?”
Under normal...
I'm looking for character biographies--the kinds of things that would typically be found in a "script bible" for a television show, i.e. how old is the character--both WHEN was the character created AND HOW OLD is the character supposed to be (is Scooter 14 now, or 44?), who puppeteers the...
Howdy! I'm looking for sheet music to muppet songs, especially "The Muppet Movie" and "A Muppet Christmas Carol." Anybody know where to get such a thing? I don't mind ordering from a store, ebay, or a person if I'm sure of what I'm getting.
(Backstage snippet after IAVMMC--doesn't fit in with my other stuff, but was still fun to write--Ru)
Destiny is a hard concept to grasp, and an even harder thing to escape. Fortified with adrenaline, Kermit was determined to make the most of the second chance he’d been given. Although he...
What sort of assumptions do you make when writing Muppet Stories? Here are some things I've been pondering a bit:
Do we believe that The Muppet Show was a theatre production, or was it a television show shot in a theatre? The way we, the viewers--experience it implies that we are seeing...
Prologue
It was dark and quite late when Kermit inserted his key into the lock of the sprawling Spanish-style home he and Piggy had bought shortly after
the studio had offered him a corner office. “At least,” he though dismally, “she hasn’t changed the locks.” Piggy’s meteoric rise to...
Veterinarian’s Hospital was going to the dogs. Despite their best efforts to pull themselves back from the brink of hilarity, it was no use. Rowlf gave up any pretense of composure and howled with laughter, leaning back on the examining table prop so hard that Gonzo began to slide off the other...
Scooter and Fozzie watched nervously from the bar while Gonzo and Rizzo were chatting up a table full of ladies. Scooter was managing to look a lot less out of place than Fozzie—which wasn’t saying much—and he shifted around and looked toward where Kermit was sitting. Something about Kermit’s...
(Sorry to stage-direct, but you HAVE to know: Piggy and Kermit are long-time married now; Piggy's on Broadway, starring in "Grease"; Kermit and Fozzie, Gonzo, Rizzo and Pepe were traveling on movie-related business and got unexpectedly held over in New York, where the airline put them all...
Y'all ever play "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon"? It's where you link up famous people through other famous people by following their pairings in movies and television shows. I LOVE this game! Anybody want to dare me to hook up one of our classic muppets to anyone famous? Anyone want to try one...
Breathlessly, Scooter ran up to Kermit. “Wow,” Scooter aid, “Piggy looks great for her date.”
Kermit did not look up, continuing to make short notes in the margin of his schedule. “I don’t know what she told you, Scooter, but Piggy does not have a date.”
“Are you sure, boss?”...
Rainbow Ode (For Jim)
In palty words my grateful heart is bade
To sing a song of praise for what you made--
Compelling in its stark simplicity,
You showed us things--alone--we could not see
Without your sometimes skewed and funny glance
That makes the timid long to take a chance...
Are there any others out there who have devised costumes for Muppet dolls? I have an aviator jacket, scarf and flyers goggle for Kermit (off a teddy bear) and I've found a small red feather boa and feather headress for Miss Piggy. I'm also devising some more suitable (less boring) clothes for...
I'm looking for a comprehensive list of all the songs used on TMS, both original and borrowed (with appropriate accreditation, no less!). Not just who wrote it, but who sang it (which person or character) and in what episodes. Am I too dumb to find it here on MC or is this something that...
