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

    After seeing what Mini Mates generally look like, these look better than I was expecting. They sort of look similar to the Muppet Vinylmation toys (only without Mickey ears and a lot more articulation). I had been thinking that the whole Electric Mayhem should be included in the same wave, and...

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

    They don't look bad. So does this mean that Bunsen and Beaker won't be part of series one after all? So Robin and Camilla are really just accessories, meaning that a couple of these are actually three packs. I thought those characters would be considered main figures.

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    Been thinking about how it would be great if one of the big Muppet fan sites interviewed David Borgelnict, author of Sesame Street Unpaved, back when that book was published. At the time, we didn't have Tough Pigs (and I think it took awhile before Tough Pigs started interviewing people involved...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Well in October there's going to be a DVD release entitled "Keep Christmas with You". When i first saw the title, I wondered if maybe it'd be a repackaging of multiple Christmas specials (like Warner Home Video's repackaging of multiple Peanuts specials or Rankin/Bass specials), but it's...

    Left out of compilation tapes

    I recently saw the back cover for Fozzie's Muppet Scrapbook, and even though it's not in the video, one of the back cover images is of Otto the robot in drag. Fozzie doesn't even appear in the picture. Makes me wonder if that sketch was planned and taken out last minute. In fact, most of the...

    Connie Stevens Pilot

    I'm pretty sure that only the Juliet Prowse one is there.

    What's Wrong with Cinderelmo?

    That's Fairy Tale Fun. That's a good release. Includes a few Sesame Street News segments as well.

    The "You know what?" thread

    Seth MacFarlane already did one live-action series, The Winner. That one didn't last long. Though I'm not sure whether he was executive producer or what his duties on the show were. In the Simpsons episode "Flaming Moe", Moe steals the drink idea from Homer and profits from it, making Homer...

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

    Maybe I've talked about this before, but in Big Daddy, Sonny Kofax takes care of a kid who was the child of his roommate Kevin Garrity, who was out of the country at the time and didn't even believe it was his kid, and tells social services that he is the kids father. Of course Kevin told Sonny...

    What's Wrong with Cinderelmo?

    I feel like she did have a lot of lines. She had plenty of interactions with the dog (when the dog became a prince). Speaking of characters without many lines, can anybody tell what Prairie Dawn and Rosita are saying when they sing their one line from the first song?

    What's Wrong with Cinderelmo?

    Here's the very positive Muppet Central review: http://www.muppetcentral.com/articles/reviews/tv-film/cinderelmo.shtml Aside from a home video release and maybe a soundtrack, I don't think there was any official CinderElmo merchandise. At least no toys. I'm starting to think maybe there was a...

    What's Wrong with Cinderelmo?

    It first aired on Fox in December 1999 (according to Muppet Wiki, it was December 6, 1999). I guess that's close enough to 2000. Though I think the video release actually gives it a 2000 copyright (along with mentioning Sony Wonder Home Video in the credits, and I don't mean logo credits). I...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    After seeing the last few posts, I feel like talking about some things that I have talked about many times on the forum, probably in this thread in addition to others... On the subject of a lack of Abby's Flying Fairy School DVDs.... Yeah, what's the deal with that? There's so many Elmo's...

    What's Wrong with Cinderelmo?

    I had no idea that it was negatively panned. I'm pretty sure that the Muppet Central review at least gave it a good review (I haven't looked at that review in awhile). Although I haven't watched it very many times, I've always liked this special. There's so much to like about it. It includes...

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    Yesterday I watched the HIMYM finale for the first time since it premiered, and this time I feel a little better watching what all happened. The first time it mostly came off as a shock (though I saw a lot of Wild Man Guessing at TV Tropes that the mother would die, and I actually started to...

    Little things we've noticed

    Seems they've been inconsistent with the title of "ABC Disco". That title was used on the video Dance-Along, this is the first I've heard of the "Grover Travolta Alphabet Song" alternate title, the chapter stops on A Celebration of Me, Grover identifies it as "Alphabet Fever" (but I guess a...

    Camille Bonora appreciation thread

    Hopefully this thread won't get too off-topic, but... Muppet Wiki has a quote from Brian Meehl about why he left, which doesn't say anything about lack of recognition or money. It does say that one of his reasons for leaving was because he wasn't seeing his wife and kids enough (in fact...

    Camille Bonora appreciation thread

    Really, you don't get paid for it? Reportedly Richard Hunt was happy with how much he made on his first paycheck (not even expecting to make that much), and Martin Robinson has said that working for the Muppets was the first time he ever had his own money. And of course Caroll Spinney took a pay...

    The Muppet Mindset

    Yesterday The Muppet Mindset started Throw Penguins Thursday, where an older article is posted again. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, it does draw attention to older articles that newer readers may not be familiar with. On the other, it could cause a lot of impatience from...
