    Rhyming Song

    Hey, folks, good news. Bert and Ernie's Word Play DVD (released earlier this year) has some vintage clips mixed in with the newer ones, including the "Fat Cat Scat" song/sketch! While this might be bad news if you were happy to have something that was really rare in your VHS collection, it's...

    How about these sketches?

    Hey, Frodis, I can help at least a little bit with this. The sketch in question is "The Great Twiddlebug Mystery," and it features Sherlock and Betty Lou, with an appearance by an early Herry and an early Roosevelt Franklin. The sketch was made into a book, and you can see the entire book...

    One! One Vonderful Halloween Menu!

    Fabulous job, Jamie! I love how the characters are in shadows except for their eyelids. Cool effect, and it's fun to guess who the characters are before you run the mouse over them. All of the other characters are from TMS, but I'm wondering about that spider. Was that from SS? Miss Muffet...

    Labyrinth: DVD Box Set!

    Ohh, man. Now you're talking. (drool) Keep us updated! Great DVDs like this almost make up for such crimes against humanity like "The Animal: Uncut Special Edition."

    Rumor: The Muppet Wizard of Oz

    The updates will be listed at Henson.com? Who are they kidding? Henson.com still thinks MFS just came out. (Not literally, of course. I'm just trying to make a point.) Anyway, I do see this film working well around the holidays, but not this year. VMC was started in Feb. '02 and didn't hit...

    ILM Blows Up San Rafeal...

    Hee hee. That was funny; thanks for posting that. I'm just surprised (and thrilled) that they even do live effects (like explosions) anymore. I would have thought everything was just CGI by this point.

    Looking for Muppet Time segments, etc.

    Umm...I guess so. So since you post at both forums, why didn't YOU post over here? ;) :smirk: :crazy:

    Rumor: The Muppet Wizard of Oz

    Umm, I suggested that about 20 posts ago. ;) (LOL! No problem. I know it's too much to remember everything everyone said.) To answer someone else's question: Artie gave 100% accurate information on Kermit's Swamp Years long before it came out, so I completely trust him. No, he's not Secret...

    Kimmel Editorial: A Note from Steve Whitmire

    Yeah, but Frank isn't one of them. So you were still right the first time (or was that the second time?). :smirk:

    Kimmel Editorial: A Note from Steve Whitmire

    Nope, sorry. Frank wasn't in that shot. Frank only occasionally performed for JHH, usually in clips that were taped elsewhere, with only Piggy or Fozzie interacting with celebrities in other locales. Frank wasn't part of the regular "MuppetTelevision" ensemble. But it was a good try. :zany:

    Attention computer animators! Maya is now free!

    Thanks for your suggestions, Nik. I tried those, plus a few other things. I guess my machine just doesn't have the right capabilities for this thing. Maybe I'll figure it out someday.

    Looking for Muppet Time segments, etc.

    Hi, all, I'm trying to compile a list of all the Muppet Time segments that aired on Nickelodeon. If anyone has such a list, please let me know. Or if you only know one or two, just shout 'em out. The only one I've ever seen involved an "opera" where a couple of screaming monsters (actually...

    Muppet RaceMania fan site

    Oh, OK. LOL! So Bill is the only *boss* that has a voice? Is that because whoever voiced Bill is still alive and with the company? I forget who did Jill and Gill. Hmmmmm. "Phil, I'm Jill. You know Gill and Bill."

    Muppet RaceMania fan site

    Yes, please do! Finally hearing the voices would be fabulous! (Though the site is already pretty darn cool.) :excited: Not sure what you mean, though, by "Bill is the only character that talks in the game." If you mean Bill Barretta, he's a character, not a performer. Second, everything...

    Your Feedback: Season 2 Muppet Show Guides

    Woo-hoo! What a surprise! I was starting to worry we might never see an update. Fabulous job, D.W. and Phil! Very thorough. I like how there's an explanation of all the changes in the theme song. That'll especially be interesting in coming seasons, because of all the little "tweaks" they did. (I...

    Rumor: The Muppet Wizard of Oz

    On the subject of Muppet Christmas Carol, I loved it. It was one of my favorite Muppet projects ever. But MTI was less appealing to me, and I downright suffered through Muppet Classic Theater. I hope they aren't going back in this direction again. We need to see more of the original characters...

    Attention computer animators! Maya is now free!

    OK, it looks like I spoke too soon. They have some tutorials and a FAQ, so I should be okay. However, I just downloaded the stuff, then ran the installation wizard. Now I go to the "Maya" folder that I created. And, umm...where's the file to just RUN the thing? There are about a dozen folders...

    Attention computer animators! Maya is now free!

    Very clever of them. The software is free, but to learn how to USE it, you have to pay 20 bucks. Still, take what you can get, I suppose. :cool:

    The Making of the Star Wars Puppets & Creatures

    Very cool! I much prefer puppets and people in prosthetics and costumes to the unreal look of the CGI creatures in movies today, including the newest Star Wars films.

    Dark Crystal Collector's Edition DVD Box Set

    Sci-Fi.com News reported that Warner Bros. has already commissioned a screenwriting team to begin work on a script for a third Scooby movie. I know it seems weird, but I guess they want to get rolling on it pretty quickly if the second one does well. So even though you accidentally said 3...
