The Muppet web videos (Popcorn, Ode to Joy, and of course Bohemian Rhapsody) were really popular and played a part in getting the Muppets back into the public eye again. This, in turn, generated interest to do the movie which we will all see this Thanksgiving. Of course, that all happened with...

Until we actually see something on the screen, we won't know. If you all want a Sesame Street cameo really bad, well, like DW said, Beautiful Day Monster was on both shows, so yeah, technically it does count. If you really want to be picky about it, Kermit and Rowlf were on both shows, too...

Yeah, I noticed that, too. A few of them weren't performed very well. I just noticed the blue guy puppet with the shades (who I mentioned earlier) has more of that...what would you call it..."animated neck pivot" that moves in time with the lip synch while he's singing. The bum laughs, but...

By now, I bet most of you have seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlrP5b4FvJM What I'd like to know is...who made/performed the puppets? Were they people who worked on Avenue Q, Crank Yankers...maybe current/former Henson employees? Some of the puppeteering styles look familiar but I...

Heh, well...hmmm...looks like I might have to get a new avatar too. Looks a little pixelated, but maybe that's just my screen. I'll just have to see if I like the new forum or not. Kinda on the fence at this point. That said, Jamie, I really like your new Kermit avatar! I liked your old...

Hey everyone, I'm going to be getting a Muppet Whatnot soon. As I wemble over the designs,:coy: I had a question about the hair. Is it possible to have two choices for the hair (meaning a mustache and hair on the head) or is it strictly one or the other? The website makes you choose, but...

And yet...people still can't prove or disprove this clip either way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvEERL2Efdk On the Discovery Channel, they talked to a man who thought a bear had smashed through his screened-in front porch. The tufts of hair left behind weren't from a bear (he knew...

I've wanted a Boober Fraggle shirt for years...in fact, I actually made one when I was in 5th grade Art class (we learned how to make our own iron on transfers for shirts. It was pretty cool). I think I know which Beaker shirt you mean. Big close up of his face and he's looking kind of...

Ain't it the truth! Any Fraggle shirts out there (especially in Hot Topic) are those "baby doll" ones. That's fine if you want a shirt that's small enough to fit your cat, but they really should make Fraggle shirts for guys. Especially ones of Junior Gorg. He's awesome. Convincing John

Honestly, given the choice between watching an episode of that purple prehistoric nightmare and test patterns...there's no contest. I'd much rather watch the test patterns. For those who haven't seen it, Caroll Spinney gives some excellent advice at the end of this clip. I think everyone...

Yeah, the lack of news about new projects that are never finished is a letdown for me, too. Would I want to see a Fraggle Rock movie made with the same love and care that is(hopefully) being put in the new Muppet movie? You bet! Then when it doesn't happen...well, yeah, it tends to get on...

Really? Holy cow... Man, you wouldn't see that on any (non Adult Swim) cartoon nowadays.

Let me guess, they'll watch the film in a movie theater first just like we will. Staler: "So, what did you think of the movie?" Waldorf: "It was awful!" Statler: "Terrible!" Waldorf: "Disgusting!" Statler: "Boring!" Waldorf: "So what to we do now?" Statler: "We're gonna do what...

They did a Fat Albert episode about that? No kidding? Huh, well, good for Bill Cosby to think of that. I guess it doesn't really surprise me, since so many Fat Albert episodes dealt with so many different social concepts. They did have an episode about saying no to drugs, another about...

Well, you do have the right to feel the way you do and a right to your own opinion. Fans don't have to be 100% positive about everything that comes out of Muppet Studios, Henson or Sesame Workshop. We want to be supportive of Jim Henson's characters, no matter who owns 'em. We care about 'em...

I think that's what there was talk about. There was no script or anything, but a Sesame Street version of the old "We're Not Candy" PSA was what the eventual goal probably would have been. They actually did a "leave poison alone" sketch with Roosevelt Franklin. It was short, to the point and...

Exactly. I just tossed in the birds and the bees as an example. There's other things Sesame Street just can't teach about. They tried with divorce & it didn't work. There was even talk once about dealing with drugs. It was Jon Stone's suggestion, I think. As for ghosts, kids might...

Again, Sesame Street can only teach so much. We can't rely on it to teach everything. Next week, we won't see an Elmo's World where Elmo teaches kids the "birds and the bees" or the more specific (and sometimes upsetting to real little kids) aspects of a certain religion. It can't be done...

I agree. Sesame Street went about as far as they could go with that. If kids have other in-depth questions, well, that's what Sunday School is for. They can talk about things in Sunday School that they couldn't really say on Sesame Street. There are certain things that just aren't on Sesame...

I've been wondering the same thing. Whatever Frank was working on, I don't know, but man...for a Muppet movie, put a director who knows something about the Muppets at the helm. Who would be more appropriate than Frank? At LEAST if you have another director who doesn't know beans about...
