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.
Hi. For those of you who read my previous posts about the Gilda Radner statue I built, and for you Bill Cosby fans out there, you're going to get a kick out of this.
Well first, let me mention that while I took photographs of the statue in progress for Michael Radner, I also took videotape...
Hi, everybody. Convincing John here.
I know some of you got to see the special "Gilda Radner's Greatest Moments" that aired a while back.
I have the special taped, but I'm trying to find a copy of the made-for-TV rock opera "Jack: A Flash Fantasy" that was mentioned in the special. It's...
It might also explain Gonzo's "asparagus eggs" in the Paul Simon episode of TMS! :concern:
It's so cool that we have this forum to learn all these interesting little tid-bits of Muppeteer info! The books about Jim Henson and his work are usually pretty in depth (except the ones for younger...
Yeah, I'd like to do the carrot bit, too. That'll have to come later, though after I've done all the SNL Gildas. But:
1. I'd need permission from JHC
2. I'd have to choose my media (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.)
Doing a drawing or painting of that scene wouldn't be too bad...but...
Hi, everybody. Convincing John here.
I have a question for all you Muppet fans out there.
Well, if you read my thread about a Gilda Radner statue to be auctioned off for charity, this post has something to do with that. If the auction is successful, other Gilda's Clubs across the country...
Hi, everybody, Convincing John, here.
I've got a puppet-related question. Um, I'm planning to build a puppet sometime in the next year or so (combined with other projects) and I was toying with the idea of an eye mechanism.
It's going to be a human puppet, (simple hand and rod) and I'm...
Besides the Mr. Hooper parts, I'd have to say that my favorite part of the special is way at the end with Cookie's lines as the final credits roll:
"Awwww.....ohhhhhhh......ohhhh....Scotch Pine de-lish-usss...but Douglas Fir give me heartburn...BURRRP! Oh sorry. BURRRRP! 'Scuse me...
I have some more news about the statue.
I forgot to mention this before, but as I worked on the statue, I took literally dozens of pictures of my progress. Michael Radner wanted to see everything as it developed, and I became like Gonzo in the Great Muppet Caper, snapping photo after photo...
Happy Birthday, Fraggle Rock!!!
Let me just say that I feel honored to have had Fraggle Rock as part of my childhood. The series was (and is) a true masterpiece. Without being too preachy and never talking down to children, "Fraggle Rock" is as enjoyable for adults to watch as well as kids...
Hey, thanks, you guys! Like I said, I'm not quite sure when it will be auctioned off. But, it looks like October.
Just to let you guys know, there's a "Voices for Gilda" CD :sing: with songs by different celebrities, some of whom have worked with the Muppets. :) Find it at the Gilda's Club...
Hey, everybody. Convincing John, here!
I got a question about ordering for the new Muppet figures (series 5). Is there a way (or a website) where I can order for them by check or money order? I know some people are comfortable with putting their credit card numbers on the internet, but I'm...
Hi, everybody! Convincing John, here! I was a member of the Forum a long time ago, but my recent jobs limited my internet access:( But now, I'm back! Let me impersonate a young Traveling Matt...ahem..."Yes, I am back! And I have wonderful news!"
Well, over the past two years, I have...
