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.
This is from the 35th anniversary of Disneyland, but I had never seen it before. It's very funny and makes me wonder if this is where they got the idea for the Piggy as Cinderella bit. Is it me, or does Piggy look a little, um, hollow and stretched out...
I was hoping for more Muppet content. There wasn't very much. The two things that made me laugh out loud were Miss Piggy running in all excited dressed in the wedding attire, then hitting Tom, and the Swedish Chef "chef's surprise" and serving Swedish meatballs. Very cute. I was hoping the...
So can I ask, have you had any previous experience making puppets, how difficult was it to build etc - I'd really love a go at making an Elmo, but I doubt it'd turn out as good as yours!
The Rizzo and Animal in the picture are also home made puppets, but they were made primarily by my friend...
I refuse to say 1 negative thing about this. No "so and so sounded off" no "I wish blah blah would have shown up" NOTHING NEGATIVE! It was funny, I'm glad Robin, Scooter, and Rowlf are back. Rowlf sounded spot on and Scooter gets better everytime. Even Piggy has gotten more in character and less...
Pics of the Muppets helping me decorate
So I have always wanted a Muppet display in my house for the holidays, I mean who here hasn't? Well this year I took the time to do it. I have the Kermit and Gonzo Master Replicas which I posted a link to a few pics last year, but I added 3 of my own...
Jim Hensons productions are always about focusing on the positives, but so many fans on here seem mired in the negative. What Muppet fans need to realize is that most people under 30 think of Sesame Street as the Muppets. There are so many guest stars on the old Muppet Show that I have no idea...
It is syndicated. It airs at 4:30 on our ABC affiliate. Cookie Monster co-hosted it. Each day there will be a different Muppet co-host. The audience went bananas for him.
I have two thoughts on this, if anyone cares.
1: It was obvious he was trying to keep Kermit moving when he wasn't being talked to to seem "alive", but he looked like a chicken pecking. These weird jerky forward head moves. Seemed awkward.
2: Some of you have posted that he shouldn't be...
I am using Project Puppet's Mostro pattern to make a puppet for use in my classroom and I needed some assistance. It suggests boiling faux fur to give it texture. Should the fur be boiled before you cut/sew it or should you wait until your pieces have been put together and then boil them...
And in defense of eFX, Rizzo's fingers appear to be made of the same material as his nose on the real puppet. It's just that we don't see them too often and when we do they're moving about. IMO, Rizzo is fantastic. :shifty:
Jeeze Louise! I was simply trying to say that I believe that when comparing Fozzie and Miss Piggy, she has a broader appeal to specialty groups other than just Muppet fans. I gave two examples, doll collectors and the Gay community. Like, I said, the Tonner doll. How come no one is debating...
"Really, you think so? Hmm. I've never really noticed much Pig-love in the "community"
Well perhaps not to the youth of today, but to people growing up in the 70's and 80's, Miss Piggy was the definition of "diva". Anyway, the plaque in the eFX booth says that it will be making Kermit...
Did anyone read the plaque in the case? :eek: It says:
-Replicated from original patterns
-Materials matched to orginal puppets
-Fully poseable
-eFX meets the Muppets bringing to life your favorite colorful characters-Kermit, Rizzo, Pepe, Fozzie, and of course, Miss Piggy
relax people, relax
Here's a link to some more/better pics of the posers

Just because we saw no Fozzie, doesn't mean they're not working on one. Someone commented on how Piggy things don't seem to sell and that EFX might have made a bad decision to ditch the bear for her. Now, personally, I love Piggy. Love her. But I don't buy much Piggy merchandise because she...
Toynewsi.com has posted pictures of a glass case at the EFX booth showing a Reporter Kermit, Rizzo the Rat and a Miss Piggy head sculpt. Exciting stuff!

The Jim Henson Creature Shop was featured on last week's Science of the Movies on the science channel. They showed how foam and felt puppets work and how they later branched out into computer controlled puppetry and they finished with a demo of Sid the Science Kid. It was cool.
