John Denver's estate...man, how ironic is that? Denver loved working with Jim and the Muppets! This scene with him and Piggy? Priceless!!! Denver was literally cracking up and they kept the take anyway. If he were still around, I'd bet money we'd have seen him return to be in future...

Oh no problem :) If I find more, I'll definitely give 'em to you.

Oh sure it would. The perfect one-time showing date for this (or any other Oogieloves) film is Feb. 30th. ;)

Yeah, Disney knows we want 'em! Remember when even Walter requested Disney to release them? (There's a clip of him online requesting them, I think)... It's gotta be a music rights thing or a "deceased celebrity's estate" thing. I thought about the Star Wars episode, too. Lucas himself...

First up, the rumors are just that. Rumors. Mainly when you see Matt's BB, it's either in green screen shots or if they have a BB and Oscar segment. Caroll still plays the bird and he was performing him right up to the last day of shooting last year. That I guarantee because my wife and I...

And Lloyd Morrisett's 3 year old daughter watching test patterns was one element of many that eventually led to the beginning of Sesame Street. It almost seems like things have come "full circle" in a sense.

You know...I've been wondering about something. Even though the segment is in its own little world, I can't help but think that someday we might see Blogg and Gonnigan in Muppet form. They are obviously Muppets, given their design (Niblet not so much...Mrs. Sparklenose, sorta), but I could see...

Here you go. Just zip to the 4:35 mark and listen. As for Caroll's ability to play the bird, he's told me in person and in interviews we've all seen "I'm going to keep doing it until I can't hold that bird's head up anymore." When my wife and I visited the set in May 2011, he was still...

I heard the news just before I started work...it was an email from Muppet Central. "Jerry Lee Nelson...1934-2012" No... Like many of you, I felt like a sledgehammer hit me in the chest. It was like May 16, 1990 all over again. "Dear God, no..." I whispered at the monitor. With every post I...

Oh my goodness gracious, Katzi, how could someone ever think that? Tsk, tsk, tsk. What's not to love about Elmo? There's the endearing third-person speech, the nonstop giggling, plus the overall high educational content of each and every "Elmo's World" episodes that aren't aired enough...

I like the road trip idea, too. I think a vacation movie might be fun. The Muppets at Walt Disney World was a good special. Bo dragging Miss Piggy on all those rides, Gonzo and Camilla exploring "Walt Disney's Laundry Land", plus you had Animal chasing Snow White around and a lot of other...

"Ah, that Fritz is never here when you need him." ;)

Yeah, that would be pretty bad! Lol! I guess I was thinking about our neck of the internet where we sing a slightly different tune..."the internet is for Beaker, the internet is for Beaker! Who's that with Muppet Labs' steam-powered sneakers? Beaker! Beaker! Beaker!"

If these scanners were made available to everyone who has the internet, combined with the popularity of Beaker among die hard fans and casual fans across the internet, we ALL know what's going to happen, don't we?

I also forgot to mention that in honor of Jim today, I told an awful pun today at work. One of my co-workers suggested that I visit an aquarium in Chicago. "Oh, I don't know," I said uncertainly. "aquariums aren't really trustworthy." "What do you mean?" my co-worker asked. "Didn't you...

You know...all day today I thought about watching the Jim Henson memorial service. (I got a copy a long time ago). Instead, I had a lot of errands and other things that got in the way. By the time I was finished, it was way too late to watch something that long. I thought, rather than...

What in the world was that? Fizzgig's German cousin or something? Catching the measles from playing out in the mud? A train hitting a cow? What the... Man, am I glad I grew up watching Muppets instead of that crap. Maybe we should be thankful for that. Reading any info about Peppermint...

Thanks for everything, Jim. :):jim:

In response to that first clip about the letter "M"... Except for candy store owners doing inventory, who in the heck orders M&M's? Yeesh!

There a re a lot of reasons...the overexposure bit is the one I thought of first. Even Ed Christie said that about the character in an interview (I can provide a link to anyone interested). DrTooth is right about letting Elmo emote and become more than just a giggle. Give me the old "Happy...
