"Of course milk comes from America! The land of Lincoln and Washington! The land of liberty, freedom and patriotism! The land of our forefathers! One would not think to drink milk from anywhere else but good old fashioned American cows!":attitude:

Bo's Biography
I found it! Beauregard's biography is in "Fun and Games With the Muppets" from 1982. There's a section in that book with a 2 page spread on Bo. Don't have it? No problem. I typed it up, word for word. Enjoy!
Focus on Beauregard
From "Fun and Games With The Muppets"
It wasn't...
"The only TV gnews program guaran-TEED to contain NO gnews whatsoever!"
I thought I was the only one who remembered Gary Gnu! Awesome stuff, man.
But umm...yeah, where's Travis at? Hope he's OK.
Convincing John
Yeah, he's at the end with other monsters, saying "No no no no no" from an apartment window.
As for the Sleaze Bros., the film needed a good villian (or in this case pair of villains) that wouldn't be too scary for the kiddies. My sister was 3 when she first saw the movie and she picked up on...
Well, he did get frustrated a few times. Once when he wanted sheep to count and got a substitute instead...

And then he got frustrated with Ernie when Ernie tried to answer Count's phone. "Oh, you tricky Ernie!"...
Oh yeah, the Mouse Organ! Classic Python! Well, here's the Muppet Wiki entry on Marvin Suggs, which does mention the Mouse Organ bit:
Marvin Suggs
According to the Wiki, it's still up in the air whether or not Marvin came from Monty Python or not. Even Frank Oz doesn't know where Marvin came...
Don't forget the little segment on Muppets on Puppets. Jim said that even just using your hands was a kind of puppetry. Then Jim, Don and Frank did a little sketch with just their gloved hands and a few props.
Frank also did a little finger puppet demonstration with just his hand and a...
And here's the sad dream...
This dream I had just this morning. I want to type it out now before I forget anything.
This is a Sesame Street dream that takes place on the present day street. It all looked Season 37-ish.
First off, it was one of those half-viewing/half-interacting dreams...
Okay, first off, I hardly ever dream about Muppets, Jim, etc. When I do, I try to remember every detail. There are two recent ones I remember. The first is silly, (which I had a few months ago). The second was an incredibly vivid, yet sad one.
First the silly one. I'll post the sad one...
Hey everyone,
We all know about the LaChoy Dragon commercials...but other than one inflatable toy (a send-in offer from years ago), was there any other merchandise with Jim's La Choy Dragon?
I found this.
What do you guys think? No, it doesn't look like Dilbert (the Dragon), but still...
Well, at the beginning of the cameo, Whoopi said "gimmie some sugar" and gave Kermit a kiss. Kermit said "You want me to turn into a prince?" as she leaned over to kiss Fozzie. (It was hard to hear with the other women talking and the audience, but it's there). Check at the 30 second mark on...
Just saw it
Not bad...way too short, but I loved seeing Fozzie!
Yeah, it was good to see someone interact with the Muppets comfortably. Whoopi giving Kermit a kiss and Kermit making the "turning into a prince" comment was nice.
Fozzie was wonderful. Yeah, he knows Statler and Waldorf's...
Heh heh. But just think, a lot of fans got upset over the disclaimer on the Old School Sesame Street DVDs. However, on a show that had nearly as many explosions, characters getting eaten, (ahem) innuendo and adult jokes as Looney Tunes, there is no such warning on any of The Muppet Show sets...
Oh man...the Jim Henson Hour! That'd be wonderful to see again! I wonder...if Disney released them both, is it possible they could package 'em together in one box set? They've done it for some films and their sequels. Why not these?
Convincing John
Ah, Gilda. Love her, love her, love her. If you have the Saturday Night Live Season 1 DVDs, you'll see that Gilda liked working with Scred. (Wouldn't Gilda have been awesome visiting Sesame Street?)
Of course, the Gilda Radner episode will always be dear to me. Here's a little somethin' I...
Okay, I gotta say it: "Hideous? For $1.69 a pound you want beautiful?"
I got the fuzzy Fozzie cover, too. Didn't think much of it either way. I was just looking forward to the episodes inside!
I thought the same thing. I haven't had time to watch the DVDs yet, I just opened up the...
Gotta go get mine yet. I ordered it, and I got a call saying it's in (yay)! But I'm stuck at work (grumble)...
Anyway, yeah, the Harry Belafonte one is one of my favorites, right up there with Gilda Radner.
Something that some fans might not know is Zoot's closing note from the original...
True, I get what you mean completely. There are (unfortunately) many people that would forget that Big Bird and Oscar are more than just characters on a kid's show. Big Bird (and mr. Spinney) are official Living Legends and Alex Trebek himself said he's a fan of Oscar the Grouch during an...
