    Did Bear ever "sniff" you out?

    Did Bear ever "sniff" you out?

    Bear was either very polite or very sarcastic to me... Well, as for me, I've never seen a full Bear episode, just snippets. I do know about the characters from you guys, Tough Pigs, etc. Anyway, when Bear was relatively new, I had my first encounter with the furry fella. It was incredibly...

    Puppet Transport and Storage?

    Jim's box Well, back in the day, Jim Henson used to have some kind of a "black box" he kept the puppets in (during the Sam and Friends days, I think). Don't know if he built it himself or if he bought it somewhere. Plastic boxes seem to be a pretty popular choice. Not that expensive either...

    Searching for "Mt. Snuffle-upagus"

    Karen Falk? Huh. Hadn't thought of that. Maybe she'd know...but is she able to access the Sesame Workshop's archived stuff or is her study limited to just the archives that JHC lets her use? I thought that archived stuff was mostly separated between the companies, with the exception of Jim's...

    Searching for "Mt. Snuffle-upagus"

    Jim Henson "Hmmmmm...." impression Well... Hmmmmm..... I don't know. It looks pretty real in the episodes...like an actual mountain. The shadows and stuff...if it is a fake, it was done pretty well! Only Caroll Spinney would know for sure, though. Hopefully, I'll get a response. I do...

    Searching for "Mt. Snuffle-upagus"

    Getting Closer... Hi everyone, I am now certain that the Sesame Street gang visited the island of Kauai for at least a portion of their trip. How do I know? Well, first of all, it's because of the mountains Big Bird and Snuffy saw while on their search. They found the Sleeping Giant...

    Muppet Coloring Book by Michael Frith?

    As for "Guide to Life" Yeah, I have "Miss Piggy's Guide to Life", too. The legs used for the posers look...off. I'm comparing them to the ones used for full body shots of Piggy from The Muppet Movie (like where she's hitchhiking). As I mentioned before, the legs and feet look more like ones...

    Muppet Coloring Book by Michael Frith?

    A possible credible resource... Hey, thanks, Count. Well, here's what I'd like to know... I just wondered who illustrated that book...because I remember the drawings were really well done and true to the characters. What I am making is a piece of Muppet art for my aunt and uncle for...

    Muppet Coloring Book by Michael Frith?

    Hey all, I had a question for those who collect Muppet coloring books. In my collection once (I may still have it, but have misplaced it) is a coloring book from the mid to late 1980s that (I believe) Michael Frith illustrated. The title of the book was either "The Muppets Around the World"...

    Elmo annoying!? Not compared to THIS guy!

    The "Next Muppet on Family Guy" thread

    American Dad reference, too... Did anyone see American Dad? There was an Ernie and Bert reference...but I won't go into detail about it. (Don't want to get in trouble with the mods here).:p :( And yes! "Fraggl-I-Raq" was such a great surprise! One of the Family Guy writers must be...

    Elmo annoying!? Not compared to THIS guy!

    I agree, Vic... Yes, it's a great puppet, and the "Elephant Elevator Operator" song wasn't bad, but that was because that was Dave performing (or at least it sounded Beauregard-ish). The voice adds a lot to the character, and to me, Joey Mazzarino overuses that same whiny, grating voice over...

    I Want To Talk About Kevin Clash

    Ah, the Great Space Coaster. What an awesome show! Wish they had DVD's of it... Even though I'm not an Elmo fan, I do admire Kevin Clash's hard work he has done over the years. Call me old fashioned, but my favorite character of his was Goriddle Gorilla from the Great Space Coaster...

    I think I've been cheated!

    Me too! Me too! I haven't been refunded for my SS order either.:boo: :mad: Can anything be done at this point? I've called them but the number is no longer in service, and the emails I sent them about it have never been answered!:grouchy: Convincing John

    Was this song banned?

    Well...it's apparently because of the song's bridge.:smirk: Here's the Muppet Wiki article that talks about it. I Want A Monster To Be My Friend Convincing John
