    Jim Henson's Eyes

    I thought about that, but the house he's in (in Leland, Mississippi) has painted green walls. It'd look like you could see right through his eyes to the wall if I did that. It reminds me of that Secrets of the Muppets special he did with Jo-Jo the Dog. Jim talks about bluescreen techniques...

    Pictures of Muppet Penguins

    Hi. I'm lookin' for pictures of the Muppet Penguins that show the penguins "out of context", like in those numbers where they appear in tropical places or in the finale of TMTM. I'd really like to find a "tropical penguins" photo...any ideas on where to look? Convincing John...

    Anyone know what color Jim Henson's eyes were? Blue? Brown? I'm making some drawings of him and I gotta be accurate. Anyone know? The photos I have I can't tell too well. Convincing John

    I missed Grover on Martha Stewart!

    Hi...sad news, folks. I had seen different celebrities advertised (a commercial on NBC) to be on Martha Stewart this week, one of whom is Bill Cosby. So I went to www.marthastewart.com to see when he was gonna be on. I was surprised (and frustrated) to find out that SUPER GROVER was on Monday...

    Macy's Fraggle Float video found

    Y'know, just for your information, there were a couple things I remember about this float they didn't show in the clip. I remember seeing this parade when it originally aired, and the host said "And riding on top of the float is J...R... Gorg." And I think (but I'm not 100% positive on this)...

    Picture of wide-eyed Gonzo

    Anyone have a link to a photo of Gonzo where he's got his eyes wide open and he's smiling? I'd preferrably like to find one where he's looking into the camera. I think there was one of him and Dave Goelz in "The Works" like that. Anyone seen a photo like that? :concern: Convincing John

    Searching for "Mt. Snuffle-upagus"

    Hi, everybody! I have a question. I'm saving up for a trip to Hawaii (which won't be happening for a loooong time), but anyway: When I eventually go, I (like always) want to visit places where my favorite celebrities have once been. My number one destination to visit is the mountain that...

    That singer sounds like a Muppet!

    I don't know about anyone else, but sometimes when I listen to the radio or see them on TV, certain musicians sound like Muppets! Anyone else notice this? F'rinstance: "Weird Al" Yankovic's "She Drives Like Crazy" sounds like :) Although I haven't heard them myself, my brother says that...

    Explaining the Muppets aren't just for kids

    I don't know what you have on videotape, but I would suggest that you show her some Muppet stuff that is not really for kids. The Dark Crystal is a good choice. (especially the essence draining scene) If you have them, the Gorch sketches from SNL would do as well. The scripts for them are on...

    Yeah, I just thought I'd give out the links in case people didn't know about that stuff. Just wondered what people's opinions would be. Yesterday was the first I'd heard of it. Convincing John
