Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
To be honest, lately I look at Gonzo, see his poor eye focus, mouth that doesn't seem to want to close right, and overall unwell expression, and wonder if he has recently suffered a stroke. As a Gonzo fan I really want to like the puppet they're looking, but... ouch. Get the poor guy to a...
Lil0Vampy - Thanks! Glad you're liking this story.
The Count - D'oops. Three, three goofs, ah-ah-ah. Two were due to my posting from a draft missing the final edits, and I simply misremembered Benson's name. I'd correct those--and the em-dash bug--if I could, but, well, I can't. Anyhow...
For my next act, I shall post an ode to cannibalism titled...

The curtain opened on Muppet Labs. This time the lab table was set for breakfast, with juice, a carton of milk, and what looked like an extensively modified coffee...

Backstage Front

The curtain opened on Act 2. Except that Fozzie was doing a monologue in front of the curtains, so they weren't actually open. The set for the next number was elaborate, a...
I just got the Fraggle Rock DVD set. I've been a Henson fan ever since 1969, but I never got around to seeing FR before. Well, what the heck, the price is right. I watched the first two eps yesterday, and they put a smile on my face.
I haven't seen Igor; I just wanted to give her a nice friendly name, and, well, Eve struck me as weirdly appropriate. She's just a regular snake; possible a Speckled Band serpent.
Heh, Animal does have his lucid moments. One of my favorite is "RENOIR! RENOIR!" (Me, I prefer the dadaists...

In case anyone is curious about what Janken looks like, I drew a quick picture of him:

His name is deeply meaningful, as a Google search will reveal.
I'm quite familiar with that MST3K episode. I'm an old MST3K fan myself. Hmm, how about a fic titled "I Accuse My Puppeteer"? (That would actually be relevant to this story, but I'm getting ahead of myself...)
I'm glad that Piggy sounds like herself. She's not the easiest character to...
Slowly but slowly we're getting to the actual story...

Setting the Tone

It had been a busy day backstage at the Muppet Theater, and it was going to get much busier. Today was the first day of their new show, which would be filmed...
Glad you liked it. This story's starting off small, but it'll get up to speed soon. You can think of these chapters as prologue material.
Has anyone here besides me has heard of MC Frontalot? His movie, Nerdcore Rising, is pretty nifty. And I'm not just saying that 'cause I make a cameo in it.
In the same Amazon order:
Dead Alive: Because I'm a fan of campiness, and I was not disappointed. I want the kung fu priest's slogan on a T-shirt.
Fraggle Rock: I never saw the series when it was first on, not having cable. But I'm a Muppet fan, and the price is right, so why not?
