I just finished the first episode, after watching most, after I picked up my set, last night. Got it for $47.99 plus tax, and it came with a $5.00 gift card. Pretty sweet deal. I'd suggest checking there, first, and while the sale lasts. Amazon also has a good discount, which I thought would...

Hey, It's been a while since I have been on this forum, but I'm actually finally making some progress on my first home-made puppet, and it is exciting. I plan on making him a live-hands, but I do have one inquiry about how the arms work, before getting to it. It doesn't really apply to the...

Fraggle Rock Movie To Be Written By... ...Ahmet Zappa??? So, they lose Jerry Juhl, inspired genius, co-creator of the show and characters, oldest and longest-running head-writer of all of Muppetdom, and replace him with...THIS?!?!? I just don't get it. Where are the other in-house people...

I doubt they'll have any Special Features about them, as I'm just glad to hear they aren't edited out. It's fairly well-known that most involved despised having them on. Belushi called them the Mucking Fuppets, and a writer even had a Big Bird doll noosed in a curtain-opening string. The...

Hey everyone, Not sure if this is where it belongs, but this is pretty exciting news: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=6503 They are reporting that all episodes from the first season of Saturday Night Live will be released in this 8-disc set, in their entirety! It's...

I saw this, and was right away like "WOW!". First, I liked their take on the characters, looking pretty accurate of that era's puppets, while still stylized. Secondly, though they often just randomly recycle them, or leave them up too long, as I believe it's a brand new one, I figured it meant...

Hey gang, Long time, no post. I couln't not pass this on:http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=6386 Cover art, full details, including: 7 HOURS OF CLASSIC SESAME- 69-74. ORIGINAL PILOT,CLASSIC ANIMATION-LADYBUGS, PINBALLS, & AT LEAST TWO WHOLE KINGS!. I couldn't be more excited...

Official Details: Sesame Street Old School Box Set Hey gang, Long time, no post. I had to pass this on: http://www.muppetcentral.com/news/2006/090606.shtml Cover art, full details, including: 7 HOURS OF CLASSIC SESAME- 69-74. ORIGINAL PILOT,CLASSIC ANIMATION-LADYBUGS, PINBALLS, & AT LEAST TWO...

Hey Gang, I've been progressing a bit more with my first, and very experimental, attempt at making a puppet, and I've mostly been following advice from the Foam Book and its videos. I've just cut a fleece neck for the puppet, but before I go further, I want to dye it, alongside the face...

Just to let you know, after searching through the internet archive for a saved copy of this site, I was browsing again on these incredibly helpful threads, and found this site does, indeed, still exist on her site, at http://www.puppet-planet.com/buildyourown.html . Glad to have found the site...

I am pretty much in complete and utter shock. I was just going through my checking of the usual IGN sections as a check of my usual sites, when I saw something about "Remembering Jerry Juhl". I hate finding out like that, how it doesn't register right away, because I didn't already know he'd...

Hey, I just got an e-mail from BUY.COM about deals on Disney DVDs, but even independently from that, after scrolling down some, I came to a blurb about up to 50% off of Muppet stuff, in celebration of the 50 years. Here's a link...

I didn't realize that Jane was there, as well. I've already met her twice, though. I'd forgotten that they had stuff from older exhibits on file. I'd gone there in 2003, when I first met Jane and Jerry Nelson and Bonnie Erickson. Anyways, I was just reading the Hollywood Reporter they were...

I went to this, today, and it was pretty fun. Unfortunately, got called in to work, so I couldn't stay as long as I'd hoped, but did get to meet Cheryl, as well as make a little paper-bag puppet and attend the puppeteering demonstration with Tyler Bunch of Treelo fame. That was really cool...

I forgot to mention this in my other post, but when I saw Kathy Mullen and Michael Frith at that big Muppet event last November, she had a miniature Mokey with her, from the episode where she shrinks. I also thought I remembered talk of the puppets actually holding up, which contradicts what...

I think this could be one of the greatest things ever. It could also go terribly afoul. For some reason, I have greater confidence for the former than any "classic" Muppet project. I think there's a certain respect for the Fraggles, and they wouldn't suffer the dumbing down and cheapening...

So, I just saw the Kermit one at the end of my recording of a late night House Of Mouse episode. Really cool, and pleasantly surprised. My brother told me he saw Gonzo, and now I see this thread's been going for a little while. Who'd have thunk it? Anyways, cool stuff. -Squigiman

I saw it, today, at the Virgin Megastore. I thought it came out on Jim's Birthday, along with the stamps and the MTR stuff. Maybe I just mentally attached them. Oh, well. Anyways, it looked good. I didn't want to spoil it for Saturday at MTR, though. -Squigiman

I was just sorta joking around, but I have had my run-ins with the webmaster, and would rather not cross paths at a Muppet event, again. I figured they'd have known about something like this, obviously. -Squigiman
