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.
The Alien Gonzos are not omniscient. Billie's existence has been kept out of the media, and they only know what they can get from the broadcasts they intercept with that satellite they placed decades ago. Brian the Sandwich has indeed been monitoring, but he can't say nothin' if Gonzo refuses...
Muppetfan44: Thanks! Will Bean Bunny see her as competition, or will he decide to mentor her in the art of adorableness?
WhiteRabbit: I'll check out your story. My backstory for Dr. Teeth is based on something mentioned in Before You Leap. Kermit wrote that Teeth was originally a concert...
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the story! (I do repeat myself, don't I?) :)
I'm glad the bit with Piggy is getting across the way I intended it to. She's been tricky to write, as her character is more subtle than you expect at first. And from the way she's been written for the past 10 years...
Heh, not those Billies. Someone Gonzo and Camilla are much more likely to be aware of.
Be forewarned, this isn't the only TMS we're going to "see." However, I'm not going to go into anywhere near as much detail in the future. We saw enough of this one to get the idea. However, some acts...
Thanks, glad you two liked this chapter, ginormous though it was. I've been doodling Billie, and I'll post a pic to my DA account when I can spend some quality time with Photoshop. First person who guesses where I got that name, BTW, wins a Bucket O' Nothing(TM)(R)(C).
Heh, the Muppet Labs...
For all none of you who are pondering what the Electric Mayhem's version of Beethoven's Pathetique sounded like, well, it might just be similar to BanYa's Beethoven Virus. The breakdown I had in mind was:
The whole band - up to :30
Zoot's solo - :30 to :41
Janice's solo - :41 to :53
Dr...
I hope you're ready for a big mama-jama entry of...
Muppets from Earth
Part 14: Grand Opening
by Kim McFarland
*****
Backstage at the Muppet Theater, Scooter was quickly counting the stacked chairs and tables stored backstage left. Sweetums was checking through the painted...
Give the man a cigar! Yes, that has been at the back of my mind throughout this story. I didn't want to get didactic or blatantly political, as that would ruin the fun of the tale, but the legal question is a civil rights issue, which is an ongoing battle for many groups, gay people included...
Mine is shameless advertising, and a mention of my real E-mail address, since if you try to E-mail me through this site it'll go to an address I never check.
Yes, they originally did want to do a Roger Rabbit cartoon, but that did not go through, so they kept what they could of the premise and made Bonkers. (Back in the day I was an active member of the Disney Afternoon fandom--I wrote for a DisAft based APA from 1991 to 2003 and ran the DAFT...
Aye, Jessica rules indeed. After reading WhiteRabbit's post, I went to go watch WFRR, and found that I didn't own it on DVD. What the heck? So I immediately ordered it from Amazon.
Another teaster for the upcoming chapter: Gonzo uses a cape and a guitar pick in a very unexpected way...
Tad Stones created Darkwing Duck, and the TV show's producer in Twitching Channels was named Thaddeus Rockwell. Years ago in a Q&A Stones said that, yes, the names were no coincidence, but the character was not a caricature of him.
Rockwell reminds me of Comet Guy, actually.
Thanks, Muppetfan44! Heh, there's more mushy stuff coming along, but I think it's about tme this story started living up to its title. Heh heh.
I'm hard at work on the next chapter, and that might take a while, as I will be going to a con next week and thus won't be at my keyboard often...
Thanks, I'm glad you liked this story! Heh, another Gonzo fan. Our name is legion, eh?
The boarding house bits were fun to write, but a bit difficult too. This was my first Muppet fic, and when you're new to a world and try to write scenes with many characters with distinctive...
Yeah, the series is pretty serious until Gonzo gets back on his feet. I was trying to give him a backstory, explain some of his personality elements - his lack of knowledge of his own origins, his need to have close friends and a romantic interest at all times, his lack of fear of the...
That Miss Piggy. Ouch. Not good.
Love the Kermit mug, though. I have an old Miss Piggy mug that lets me drink out of her skull; now I could drink from Kermit's decapitated body. Hmm... where's my Gonzo teapot?
I fear I have crossed over into ushy-gushy territory and thus forfeited all my curmudgeon cred. Drat this sentimental streak.
Also drat my forgetting the copyright info for The Masochism Tango. It is copyright (c) Tom Lehrer, perpetrator of such other delightfully twisted songs like We Will...
