Enjoy this ficticious Muppet Sing-Along video, themed around Muppet Babies but hosted by adult Kermit (and as a result sort of disrupts Muppet cannon). "Hi, ho, Kermit the Frog here. You know, I've been thinking back to when me and all my friends were babies. We all lived together in a...

Interestingly, Jim Henson's Red Book just posted an entry on the fourth season of Sesame Street, and in the "historical information" section, it says that The Count "continues today". I guess that's a good sign that he'll continue (though we know this next season has already completed)...

One difference between Jim/Richard and Jerry is that when Jim and Richard died, there hadn't been much planning in the event that they die. They both died at young ages, and Jim's death was very sudden. Jim may have intended on having Steve or somebody else take on Kermit if anything (death or...

I have seen a quote from Jane Henson from 1990 where she said that Jim told her who he wanted to have perform Kermit if he was no longer able to. That particular quote doesn't specifically mention Steve (I think the quote was from an article regarding "The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson", and Jane...

David Rudman performs the half of the Two-Headed Monster originated by Richard Hunt. Joey Mazzarino performs Jerry's half.

I've got to say, that is the best Jerry Nelson tribute I've read so far.Though do you remember where you heard that Jim Henson once referred to Nelson as "the Mel Blanc of the Muppets"?

I really like that wacky chase music that plays whenever segments end with some kind of chase or conflict, like the "Kermit: Casting Director", "Cavemen Invent Paper" and, I think, "Ernie Cleans the Apartment: Part 2" (though that last one isn't really a chase).

Yesterday I decided to honor Jerry Nelson's memory by watching a bunch of Sesame Street clips starring his characters online. Then I watched a number of TMS episodes, mainly ones that I felt heavily used his talents: Kaye Ballard, Bernadette Peters, and Harry Belafonte (the last one maybe not so...

Chapter 6 The Muppets were in great danger. “There’s fire everywhere!”, said Fozzie. “That robot body is blocking the only door out”, said Kermit, “and it’s too heavy for us to even push over.” “Let moi handle this”, said Miss Piggy, who proceeded to karate chop the robot… And it was...

I'll be more surprised if Matt DOESN'T become The Count's main performer. But I wonder if any of Jerry's other characters will appear more. Mumford and Fred the Wonder Horse had been showing up every once-in-awhile (Mumford was on the show once last season, after maybe a four-year gap), and...

You know, now I hope that the song they sing at the Macy's parade is something that was originally sung by one of Jerry's characters. Or perhaps a medley of Jerry Nelson songs as a tribute (have they ever done a medly in the parade?).

Chapter 5 Gaffer continued running from Metallic, who was gaining on Gaffer. “You can’t run forever!”, said Metallic, who then remembered, “Wait a minute. I don’t need to chase you. The part of my arm where the hand broke off also doubles as a vacuum.” Aiming his arm at Gaffer...

One thing I've been thinking about: For the past decade, the majority of Grover and Mr. Johnson bits were done when Frank Oz was available (though there are exceptions). I wonder if Oz will continue to perform Grover in such segments (assuming they'll continue with new Mr. Johnson material)...

Chapter 4 The cats had arrived at the Muppet Theater. “I think the show’s almost over”, said Bad Breath. “It doesn’t matter”, said Olive, “Now, when I say three, we all run in and attack!” “Duh, it’s too late”, said one of the cats, “you already said three.” “Fine”, said Olive, “I...

Chapter 3 Kermit and Beauregard went out back, taking out some of the trash. “How did I, the host of the show, end up with garbage duty?”, asked Kermit. “Scooter’s uncle owns the theater”, said Beauregard. “Oh, right”, said Kermit. They then saw Statler and Waldorf tied up in the...

Chapter 2 Olive, Bad Breath, and Gaffer were all seated around a fire at a junkyard. “Believe it or not, Gaffer, the Muppet Theater has had many cats who hung around and got kicked out”, said Olive. “Meow?”, said Gaffer. “Who’s Catgut?”, said Olive. “I remember when I was part of the...

According to tvshowsondvd.com, a complete series boxed set is coming out, with all of the bonus features previously released, packaged in a toy turtle van. And it'll apparrently only cost 23 dollars. I wonder if the discs will all be exactly like what was released on the individual seasons. If...

Enjoy this fan fic, centering around Gaffer! This story is dedicated to the memory of Jerry Nelson (though none of his characters will be particularly prominient in this story). Chapter 1 Kermit went on-stage to introduce yet another installment of The Muppet Show. “Welcome again to...
