I wrote that article. I had fun doing it. I had thought about writing about their apartment in Follow That Bird, which looks a bit different (along with all of Sesame Street), but then decided not to. And until now I didn't think to write about their primary location in the test pilots...

Chapter 6 As the shelter continued flying... "Hey, Chef", said Fozzie, "we're flying over Sweden." The Swedish Chef looked out the window, waved, and said hi to his mom and dad. "I used to be a world traveler", said Grover, "But I have never traveled like this before." "I just...

Chapter 5 As they were flying in the air in the shelter... "Like, I wasn't expecting the hurricane to be this strong", said Janice. "It must be stronger than me", said Herry. "I didn't think this could happen", said Bunsen, "Then again, the material was a lot cheaper than I had...

Well, now I have everybody needed for stage 1.

I thought Hurricane Katrina came in 2006, and I know there have been hurricanes since then (my town was affected by the aftermath of one in 2008, and in fact it was then that I started getting the idea for this... and now I'm finally writing it after all these years!). Chapter 4...

In The Muppet Show episode with Alice Cooper, how did they do the outline effects in Pigs in Space? Did they rotoscope the movements? Did they use Waldo technology?

Actually, neither Dave nor David is listed in the credits, and their characters voices aren't heard (Scooter seems to host and his dialogue is in text, Zoot just makes his sax sound when clicked, Gonzo has his trumpet which he blows when clicked on, Waldorf along with Statler only has text...

Chapter 3 Bunsen continued the tour. "And over here is the garbage area, where we throw our garbage." Bunsen pointed to a small window on the wall, similar to mail slots at the post office. "I can't fit in there!", said Oscar the Grouch, whose trash can was being carried by Bruno...

Chapter 2 The previous chapter took place at the time of the last major hurricane. This story now jumps ahead to the present, when the hurricane shelter has been finished. "Welcome to the Muppet Labs State-of-the-Art Hurricane Shelter!", said Bunsen. A crowd of Muppets cheered at the...

Chapter 1 Our story begins at least a year ago, or whenever the last major hurricane was (I can't remember if there was one last year or not). The Muppets all ran into the prop room. "Okay, everybody, into the prop room", shouted Kermit, "the hurricane is hitting. The prop room is...

If the third stage is an alley, I wonder if we won't need to worry about upgrading dressing rooms. After I digitized Miss Piggy, I found that there were no more dressing rooms and the dressing rooms wouldn't digitized further so I had to dismiss some characters. Of course I had multiple rats...

Now I have everybody for the first stage except for Kermit.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday.

I've heard some good points about whether TMS Scooter would realistically be a computer nerd. But even in recent years the computer nerd aspect hasn't been explored much. Here are all instances I know of: In Letters to Santa, it is Scooter who sets up a webpage for people to send ideas on how to...

If somebody recorded laugh track/live audience laughter from a TV show and then used the recording for laughter on another TV show, without permission from the studio that makes the show, can they be sued? After all, how easily can somebody identify if the laughter came from something else and...

I haven't noticed people complaining about laugh tracks on the forums here. I have seen complaints about laugh tracks on other forums, and have seen people who've worked on television (or heard of such instances) where they complained about the laugh tracks, and one of the bonus features on the...

Sam the Eagle was on the news, and The Electric Mayhem was performing in a train station. Maybe not big ways, but still performing.

Back in the 1980s (and possibly 1990s and 2000s), was it common for music video shows to begin with the first music video, without an opening title sequence or intro until after the first music video played? I noticed that both of The Gerry Todd Show segments from SCTV begin with music videos...

I had no idea. I might have to start watching The Weather Channel now...

And about the fart shoes, and maybe there is a better place to point this out, in many of the promos that scene comes after a clip of Kermit saying that the Muppets don't resort to cheap tricks, and I think there was an interview with either the director or one of the writers saying that the...
