    Steve Whitmire as Kermit on Sesame Street

    It seems like Kermit segments were becoming scarce before The Jim Henson Company sold the characters to Sesame Workshop. I watched season 30 almost every day and felt like the appearances of old Kermit segments were few and far between (they showed Kermit and Joey singing the alphabet, ABCs of...

    Is Frank Oz still coming back?

    I've been wondering if Frank Oz was coming back. He hasn't been on the show since Jerry Nelson died, and most of his recent performances (outside of parodies) featured Jerry Nelson with him. Would the lack of Jerry Nelson (not to mention Kevin Clash, Fran Brill, and maybe Joey Mazzarino) make...

    Caroll Spinney's performing status

    I wonder who performed Big Bird on The Tonight Show last night. Big Bird and The Count both appeared.

    Where are all these classic Sesame Street episodes coming from?

    What stuff have we gotten that didn't even air on the show?

    Where are all these classic Sesame Street episodes coming from?

    There's an episode of Mister Ed where Wilbur says "when a miracle happens, you don't question it". We could take that advice for how we've gotten these recent episodes.

    The Muppets Episode 5 - Walk the Swine

    While the Scooter and Rizzo subplot was one of the best things about this episode (along with the closing song), I must wonder what the deal with it is. So Rizzo talks Scooter out of getting his insurance involved by saying that he'll be labled an unsafe driver, and keeps scamming Scooter into...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Last night, I dreamt that I was working on a new Muppet show. Except in this universe, the Muppets were real. And we were shooting the show at the middle school I went to. And I had to find Animal (and was told that we owe Animal something... I think he asked for unlimited bathroom breaks). I...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I can't wait to know what bonus features will be included, probably an existing video, street story, and clip (based on what we've gotten in the past years DVDs, I won't be surprised if it's a longer-form segment, like a Cookie's Crumby Pictures clip).

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

    I got the figures last week, but didn't open them until last night. And they are awesome. Okay, so some of the articulation has been hard for me to do, and I have had trouble getting them to hold their accessories (I have gotten Fozzie to hold his rubber chicken). And I haven't been able to...

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

    I saw these at Toys R Us and picked them up (except for the standard version of Bunsen and Beaker). I have not yet opened them, plan to change that within a night or two. I took pictures of the packaging to post on Muppet Wiki, had a bit of trouble adding the images (it's not often I add images...

    Henson/Oz/Frith Interview: Question about Animal

    Sometime after this thread was posted, there was an episode of "The Muppets" ("The Ex-Factor") where Animal refers to Zoot by name, and he referred to him as "Zoot" instead of "Zat". Considering Zoot isn't referred to by name that often, I say it's best that Animal not call him "Zat". Those...

    Retired characters

    Long-unseen characters made from Anything Muppets can easily be brought back for cameos or background appearances, since even if the puppets are no longer usuable, they still have the Anything Muppet bases. They don't have to build a full puppet. And the majority of non-animal characters are...

    "The Muppets" show runner exits, series to be relaunched February 2 with episodes 11-16

    I've seen a number of people who have said that they wouldn't want this to be exactly like The Muppet Show, or that the show would fail if it was exactly like The Muppet Show. I'd like to have a "what if"/alternate reality machine to prove whether a new "Muppet Show" would succeed. I agree...

    "The Muppets" show runner exits, series to be relaunched February 2 with episodes 11-16

    I thought of a kind of re-tool I'd like to see, though I doubt they'd go with this: I'd like to see a special structure that's like how the new show has been presented, and part like The Muppet Show. Each episode has three acts, not counting the cold open and credits sequences. I'd like act 1...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    In "Single All the Way", it looks like Kermit and Piggy will eventually get back together. Since this happened, I had suspected they would be the end of the season, but now I'm thinking that maybe it'd be better if the relationship were like on The Muppet Show, where it was usually one-sided...

    Video: Kodachrome with The Electric Mayhem

    When watching this at first, I thought it looked like it was made before the series, and then I saw info that it was made at the same time as Jungle Boogie (and to be fair, I had known that there'd be another Electric Mayhem video). In addition to the Lips puppet looking different from the...

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    Maybe showing lyrics was a rights thing, but I still feel there should have been a visible screen (even if it's shot from behind) for them to look at.

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    Do they ever actually say that they're singing karaoke? I think I've seen it in descriptions, but it seems to me like they never actually show a lyrics screen with the characters to look at. So maybe they all know the songs well enough that they try their hands at singing without looking at the...

    Rowlf in TMM

    I never thought that part of the film was lost after it broke. It was pointed out that at that point they stopped coming up with reasons for each character to want to go to Hollywood. When Kermit meets Bunsen and Beaker, they never discuss Hollywood, they just travel with the rest when they...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    So at the beginning of Back to the Future Part II, Doc shows up in the morning to take Marty and Jennifer to the future, and when they get back, it's night time. Why didn't they just go back to when they left? I always assumed they put her there on the night of the day they left, as opposed to...
