    Rare Dark Crystal and Labyrinth photos

    Nice work on the castle, Laszlo! Was MindStyle the only company that had plans to produce a commercially available castle? I would have liked one, but I'm not sure I would have paid the suggested price. In your bookshelf photo, I see a wooden Chamberlain sculpture and Jen's flute. Can you tell...

    Muppet Must-See Locations

    I posted a link a few years ago, before some of you had joined Muppet Central. It is a set of photos from all of the Henson-related locations I visited in England. You can see them here: http://etphoto.smugmug.com/Henson/Muppets-in-England/ If you go up a level on the website, I have some...

    Top Annoying Misnaming People Do

    There is something that annoys me, but I'm afraid I'm on the losing side of the debate. I don't understand why the Sesame Street Martians are called the Yip-Yips. Well, I understand it, but I think it's wrong. My argument is that I think the martians are saying "yep" and not "yip". Whenever they...

    Where can I find Muppets in Exhibit Displays?

    The article doesn't say it explicitly, but the original Fozzie puppet is now in the Polka Theatre.

    Postponed: Henson Family Day in Los Angeles - Red, Wilson & Ditch and more

    When I asked one of the event hosts about it, he said there was a "scheduling conflict", which doesn't really make sense. I think the explanation Doc Hopper got is more accurate. However, I was also told that they were going to re-schedule sometime in September or October. I hope this is true -...

The CD comes in a nice jacket, which includes several photos from the recording sessions and others of Jerry. There are also a couple of (short) reviews on the...

    Big Bird on Jimmy Kimmel

    Does anyone know (or have a good guess) who's performing Big Bird on Jimmy Kimmel? Is Carroll Spinney still doing live appearances? He's one performer I would still really like to meet, and it would be great if he was coming out to the west coast! -Murray

    Frank Oz interview on Tavis Smiley

    Frank Oz appeared on Tavis Smiley's show last night. I only caught the last half of it, but most of the interview questions were (surprisingly) about the Muppets. They even showed a couple of clips from the Muppet Show! I believe Frank was actually there to promote his movie "Death at a...

    Thanks for the kind words, Vic. It makes the extra work worth it. And thanks to all of you others for the great responses. It took a long time to find all of the information. I was even starting to worry I wouldn’t get it all in time! I’m sorry to say I do not know where the Muppet...

    Sorry for the error. I've sent an updated file to Sylinde Bren. And there was also a question as to where the Tick-Tock Sick mp3's came from - I have the 45 rpm record and made copies from that. -Murray

    Photos from London, Hollywood, DC

    Last Sunday topped off what has been a very good Henson year for me so far. I went to the last of three season finale shows at the Hollywood Bowl, which included Kermit and Miss Piggy as special guests. After the show I waited at the artist’s entrance for the Muppeteers to emerge, and was able...
