Sixteen years ago today the world lost Jim Henson. What are some of your memories of Jim? I don't think I could put it any better than what I said last year. http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showpost.php?p=273776&postcount=35 Convincing John

Hey all! Just watched the new South Park episode "Tsst". There's a Dark Crystal reference! Here's what happens: they do a spoof of Nanny 911, and as they introduce the nannies, one of them is named "Nanny Skexis", (yeah, they spelled "Skeksis" wrong) But anyway, the "nanny" looks like...

Hi everyone, A while back I noticed that someone managed to get that picture off the set from "Muppets From Space", the one of Gonzo alone on the beach. That image was one of the best parts in that film...at least to me. I think the same person (or people) worked on "Elmo in Grouchland" and...

Dear MC friends, I would like to apologize for my rather sporadic visits to the Message Board lately. The last month has been very hard on all of my family. Over the past few months, my mother has been battling colon cancer. It kind of started this summer, increased slightly over the...

Hey everyone! Thought I'd share a little secret with you all. This is a technique that never fails, and yeah, it belongs here in the Friends and Family portion of MC, because it's something that just about anyone here on MC can do. So what the heck is "Instant Fraggle Hair" and how do you...

Anyone else getting this on the left side of the main Muppet Central page? I've quoted it below: "Warning: fopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution in /home/httpd/vhosts/muppetcentral.com/httpdocs/_borders/sections/radio_home.php on line 12...

Hi, I was looking through the Muppet Central Cards the other day, and I noticed that two pieces of text were switched between two of the cards. Each one features Grover and Fat Blue (Mr. Johnson). One of the cards is a "Happy Birthday" card and the other is a "Get Well" card, but the words...

Anyone else see "American Dad" tonight? Miss Piggy made an appearance (as a hovering vision) to one of Stan's school chums. The voice wasn't that bad. Kind of like the Piggy on "The Simpsons" when she was with Troy McClure. Convincing John

Hi everyone, I thought I'd let the Forum know that David Lynch's "Eraserhead" is FINALLY available on DVD through Amazon! I know that there are some Lynch fans around here, and this film in particular is very hard to find. Here's the link...

Hey everyone, You ever heard our ol' buddy Bert say (or sing) "Chick-A-Boom" while playing the drums (or more recently) an oatmeal box? Here's a Tough Pigs link that might help jog your memory: Bert Plays the Drums Well, I have a theory as to where that might've come from. Maybe Frank...

Hi everyone, I was wondering about an aspect of puppetry that isn't discussed a whole lot, but it's still important. With Muppeteers and other puppeteers working with their arms in the air all day, are there certain exercises recommended to keep arms strong and hands nimble? Obviously...

Anyone know where would be a good place to shop for musical instruments for puppets? I think this has been discussed before, and checking toy stores was suggested. I have checked, and either: a) they didn't have the instrument I was looking for b) I'm looking for realistic instruments...

Hey everyone, Just wanted to let you know of an incredible find I made at a Wal-Mart Supercenter. I looked in the fabrics/crafts section, and near the "egg crate" foam mattresses, were these blocks of foam. The best part is, these things are about a foot square. Yep! Big cubes of foam! I...

Hey everyone, I saw a really cool Halloween documentary on the History Channel just now. It's called "The Haunted History of Halloween". For those of you interested in Halloween's origins, this documentary does a really good job. Also, you'll get to see a little Candice Bergen in it...

Hey everyone, I've been wondering about an old song called "Escondido" sung by Luis. It's from an old Sesame LP I might have somewhere still...but I'd really like to know more about the song itself. It's kind of like Luis's own "Imagination" song. It's not a remake of "Imagination", but...

Hi, I know that there are some folks on the Message Board who are posting from the UK, and I had a question if someone can help me out. I know that American appliances don't work in Europe (without an adapter), but what I was really wondering about was batteries. See, I wanted to order a...

Hey, I was wondering how large the Muppet Show logo was. In watching the DVDs I noticed that the logo is different from the ones used in later seasons, but it still fills up the whole stage. I also wondered how they rigged up the second logo for Kermit to be looking through the "O" as it...
