    Favorite Classic Muppet

    When I was young, the Electric Mayhem were always my favorite, especially Dr. Teeth.:D I was always disappointed growing up that there was a paucity of EM products...although a few years ago I saw a Beanie set at Barnes & Noble that included Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Janice and Zoot. I don't know why...

    Congratulations Caroline/Skye!

    There! I hear it again...and in no way am I a case study! I am a human being, dagnabit! Just because I belong to a forum dedicated to the Muppets doesn't mean I...hmmm...what was I talking about? Something about purple monkey dishwashers? Sincerely, Phineas J. Grumblebottom von...

    The Muppet Show: Season 6

    Ah yes! How could I forget Jamie Farr! I could picture him in the opening (although the opening would probably have been different had it gone into a 6th season...anyway), in drag, and Pops hitting on him, mistaking him for a woman!

    Well, I graduated...

    Ah, Green Eggs & Ham. I have such fond memories of that wonderful book. That was the book that taught me to read. It seems like only yesterday I was struggling through it...but it was actually the day before yesterday that I finally finished it.

    The Muppet Show: Season 6

    Chevy was head writer and full-time cast member for SNL in its first season (October 1975 - July 1976). He won two Emmys, one for writing and one for performing. He was already planning to leave the show by this time, but he was talked into doing the first six shows of the second season...

    The Muppet Show: Season 6

    Yeah. I don't think he played any instruments on the actual song. But he is an accomplished keyboardist. Throughout the first season of SNL he goofs around as Ronald Reagan, Gregg Allman and in a few various sketches on the ivories. When he came back to host his first two shows in 1978 and...

    The John Candy Appreciation Thread

    My favorite John Candy movie is Only the Lonely (1991), a cute romantic comedy/drama, directed by Chris Columbus. Candy plays a single Chicago cop who falls in love with a funeral home worker (Ally Sheedy). The only problem is, Candy has an overbearing, smothering Irish mother (played by the...

    The Muppet Show: Season 6

    I've only heard Peter Boyle sing once, on the SNL episode he hosted, and was surprised at what a wonderful voice he had! I knew Chevy was a singer. In the 1960s, he was in various rock groups. Some of his bandmates over the years included members of Steely Dan and Christopher Guest. The...

    How long has Elmo been around?

    My favorite Elmo moment is an early one, probably before he had a name. It was the "Spartacus" sketch.
