    Your Thoughts: Ed Sullivan Muppets Magic DVD

    Hey, I just noticed something... Remember those references that stated that Ed Sullivan, when introducing the Muppets for the first time, he said "Jim...uh, Newsom's puppets"? It's mentioned in a few articles, and maybe "The Works", but I'm not sure. Anyway, that's what Ed said...but they...

    Extra Gilda Pictures...but no scanner...

    Well, I still have not heard from the Gilda's Club Quad Cities for the official word on when the auction will be, although the date is supposedly on October 19 (according to the website). I had hoped by now that the website would have their picture of the Gilda statue and I up on their site...

    Gilda and the Construction Crew: "A Gilda Construction Story"

    Speaking of the C3PO reference, a lot of people probably already know this, but right before Chewbacca switches Threepio off, he says: "Only an overgrown mophead like you would be stupid enough..." Some people for years thought Threepio said "overgrown Muppet"! LOL! Well, I guess Chewie...

    Jerry Nelson's New Album

    Okay, I was out of the Muppet Central loop for over two years, and I heard way back when that Jerry Nelson was going to release a CD of his original songs. I read about it here at MC. Is this CD out yet? Is it going to be out? Please let me know! Convincing John

    Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now...is that Olivia?

    Hey, folks, I wanted to ask about a commercial I keep seeing. It's for Detrol, a medicine, and theres a little jingle that goes "Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go!" I won't mention what the medicine is for, but the jingle makes it pretty obvious... Well...

    Gilda and the Construction Crew: "A Gilda Construction Story"

    Well, folks, it's time for yet another "Gilda Construction Story". Picture if you will, the garden and picnic table next to a garden (this is the same place from the "Okay, Rinse" story). At this point in time, all the pieces of the statue were still apart and unpainted. Well, I did this...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and the Muppets on Jimmy Kimmel Live

    Animal is on! He's sitting in with the band! So far he's just said "KIMMEL! KIMMEL!" :halo: I don't know who's performing him, though. His drum set is a 60's style design with "The Electric Mayhem" printed on it. Hey, there's a bear...whoops...false alarm. It's not :o...a bear on a...

    Weird Big Bird Dream

    While I'm waiting for Kermit to come on, I thought I'd post this Big Bird dream I had a long time ago. I posted it before on the old Muppet Central, so some of you might remember it, but for those who missed it... Okay, I had just got the book "Sesame Street Unpaved" and at the time, I was...

    Bunny, Bunny!

    Hey, everybody. Anyone believe in doing stuff for good luck? Well, you're welcome to try this one on for size. I read that Gilda Radner believed if you said "Bunny, Bunny" at the beginning of every month, you'd have good luck during the coming month. I suppose you could always tap your...

    What figures do you want to see made?

    Well, as I mentioned in another thread, we should have more of the obscure characters made. I love the better known Muppets as much as the next fan, but the more secondary characters that are made, the better IMHO. Personally, if a figure is released, I would rather have it be someone new...

    Jim Henson on Sesame Street

    I wondered if anyone could help me with this... I've seen clips on Sesame Street with a guy in them who looked like Jim Henson. I know it was him juggling in the "Sing a Song of 3" clip (with the baker), but what I'm talking about is: A guy in snowshoes spells out ME in the snow with his...

    Richard Hunt's Lowercase n?

    Well, I'm not sure when Barkley appeared, but that sounds right. I just heard the whistle, and wondered who it was. Well, let's see, we've ruled out Joe Raposo and Gobo so far...at least the list is narrowed down a little :) Who is that mystery whistler? Perhaps Sherlock Hemlock will have to...

    Richard Hunt's Lowercase n?

    I have recently listened to the SS clip "Lowercase n", (one of my favorite clips) and it sounds like Richard Hunt is singing it...well, to me, anyway. Is it Richard? I wondered if anyone knew... Also something else I noticed, in the older versions of SS during the closing credits (where...
