    Jim & Frank on Orson Welles' unaired pilot

    Henson Rarities has been terminated a few times but got back online. That doesn't mean it'll come back this time, but it has been terminated and, uh, un-terminated a few times. I think there's also a Henson Rarities on Daily Motion.

    Who is Dexter?

    When I first read about the character, I expected Dexter to be a more normal-sized Muppet, considering a second performer was operating his hands. So I was surprised to see him look full-bodied. I'm assuming he was just a really big puppet as opposed to a costume, especially since I haven't seen...

    Speculation: The Muppets Season 1 Blu-ray Bonus Features

    So far it hasn't officially been announced that The Muppets will get a DVD or Blu-ray release, but I hope it does (I would expect late-summer/early-fall for the release). I'd like to say that it should be two-discs and have one disc with the first ten episodes and second disc with the...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    Considering Robin's role in the upcoming Little Green Lie, I wonder if he'll mainly just appear in episodes where he's featured in the plot. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't join the staff of the show. Maybe there could be occasional episodes each season where Robin appears.

    The Muppets Episode 11 - Swine Song

    So Miss Piggy is briefly shocked by Kermit's suggestion of sharing the stage with the others, which gets me wondering: who else did the sketches on the show? We never really saw sketches before this episode, but the show should have had a supporting cast to appear in sketches with Piggy and...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Last night I dreamt that there was a new Muppet movie concerning Up Late with Miss Piggy.

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Hmm, if that's the case (and as a matter of fact, I thought I saw a post confirming Statler and Waldorf for series 2, which at first I thought was the action figures, then realized that it wasn't really clear which it was, and forgot about when the series 2 Mini Mates were shown), series 2 does...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    I can't remember who or where I read it from (well, it'd either be from here or Ask DST, and would have been from either Zach or the person in charge), but I thought it said it was for series 2, and thought it said that the character in question was from The Muppet Show (Bean Bunny did not...

    The Muppets Episode 12 - A Tail of Two Piggies

    A few people have been saying that this episode ended on a cliffhanger. I didn't see Camilla's entrance as a cliffhanger... I thought it was pretty much implied that they would get back together. if there was a "to be continued..." I would see it as a cliffhanger (but do TV shows do the "to be...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    I'm surprised that Animal is coming alone, but I guess it makes sense due to the size of his drum set (I had wondered if big instruments would be included, in part because of the two-packs... Then again, they'll be able to give Statler and Waldorf a balcony). Still, if Animal could come with an...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Now that Miss Piggy has a penguin on the current show, and in thinking about how the Kermit figure comes with two small characters, it'd be great if the Miss Piggy figure would come with Foo-Foo and Gloria Estefan. Of course, including a Gloria Estefan pack-in might be too late, depending on...

    Retired characters

    I know he's made at least three appearances. Aside from the beach segment with Ernie and Bert, there was a season three episode where he and Oscar get into an argument, then tells Oscar that he has something to say to him when he comes back (I hope that one surfaces soon so I can know how it...

    The Muppets Episode 11 - Swine Song

    So is this new head of network a true villain, or is he more a "designated villain"? He has been in the opening credits all season. The fact that he now has his own role on the show wouldn't improve the chances of Walter appearing.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I said all that's at Muppet Wiki about it. I looked at the Elmo Wonders packaging, and I like how it points out that this is the first time Transportation has been released on DVD. I think it's the first Sesame release to note if a segment is on video for the first time. I'd like to think...

    The Muppets Episode 11 - Swine Song

    I didn't get to see it tonight. For some reason, my local ABC affiliate chose to air college basketball instead.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Well, I've seen on Muppet Wiki that The Cookie Thief's bonus features will be the Cookie Hood episode (I assume it's the whole hour and not just the street story) and Elmo's World: Drawing (which is a good choice for a bonus). And I saw that on the Elmo Wonder's DVD that, unsurprisingly, the...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In most Foghorn Leghorn cartoons, whoever he's in conflict with usually wins. Especially predator characters. When most cartoon predators are the designated villain and typically lose, Henery Hawk and the weasel almost always manage to get Foghorn in the end. Even though we don't see them eating...

    TV Tropes

    Looking at the page for One Froggy Evening, it says that that short as An Aesop to enjoy things instead of trying to profit from them. Has anybody gotten that sense from the short? I never saw that as a lesson in the short. Maybe if the character decided to just appreciate the singing frog...
