    The Complete History of Mahna Mahna and his alter ego Bip Bipadotta

    I have no idea what any of it said, but it sure is fun to click on links when you have no idea what they lead you to. Sprocken de deutch de "Mahna-Mahna"!

    No problem. We must have posted at the same time. :)

    The Complete History of Mahna Mahna and his alter ego Bip Bipadotta

    Since TMS episodes could be aired in any order across the country, there's no way for sure to know the original airdate for the Juliet Prowse ep. The date listed at Kermitage.com is Apr. 25, 1977. As far as I know, Mahna does not actually appear in the Sandra Bullock episode; instead Kermit...

    Ideas For New Muppet Specials

    Umm, King Prawn: The Muppets already HAVE gone camping, in a 1983 John Denver special. :D BTW, everyone, we need to stop posting this stuff. Secret Squirrel says in this thread that JHC won't use any ideas that have appeared on the web. Check it out...

    Scooter: who's who

    That's what makes it so tricky. See, there's nothing else LIKE the Muppets. If you wanted to write for Sesame, I suppose you could write a Between the Lions...but what on earth would you write for regular Muppets? Simpsons is often used as a comparison point on this site, but I'm not sure that's...

    Scooter: who's who

    I believe they don't accept any outside submissions, because if they ever end up doing anything remotely similar to your project, you could sue. Same with TV shows -- if you want to write for CSI, you don't send them a CSI script, or they won't even look at it for legal reasons. You send them a...

    Scooter: who's who

    You're right that he wasn't in the movies much, Super Scooter. That's why I mentioned Muppets Tonight. He's a great "fill-in" character, so why they assign lines to generic Muppets when they could use a character that everyone loves...I don't get it. Wiggy, your plot idea sounds cool. That's...

    Eisner confirms Disney could buy Henson and Muppets soon

    I thought the 84/85 incident was when Jim tried to buy Disney. Anyway, ironically, the first time I heard about Jim trying to buy Disney...was in a Jim Hill article. Not that I'm his biggest fan or anything, but I'll give credit where it's due. :)

    Thanks for updating that! It has been a looney roller coaster ride, hasn't it?

    Scooter: who's who

    Yeah, that's the funny thing about Brian. Everyone expected he'd sound just like his father. But in fact, he seems to take after the Nebel side of the family. I bet he sounds just like Jane's father at that age. Brian flat-out said in a TV Guide interview that he didn't want to do Kermit...

    EM.TV to Sell Muppets to Jim Henson's Children for $89 Million

    Hear, hear, Jamie! Luke, I totally hear what you're saying about the business side of things. It wouldn't be as easy as it once was, but I would hope something would be worked out. A big part of the TMS Live Show might be too much, but I think they should throw the puppeteers and their...

    EM.TV to Sell Muppets to Jim Henson's Children for $89 Million

    Sorry, Kev and Luke. I disagree that a Sesame presence at MF is that unlikely. It's like people saying that no more Sesame/TMS crossovers are possible now that EM.TV sold off the characters. But the Sesame sale came in early 2001, I believe, and Elmo appeared with them in MF later that year. The...

    Scooter: who's who

    Actually, Rizzo leaves the balcony where Gonzo is, and goes down on stage where Kermit is. That's why Steve couldn't play Rizzo. Gonzo is no longer in the shot, which is why Dave filled in. If Gonzo and Kermit had both been in the same shot, they would have had someone else play Rizzo. :D

    EM.TV to Sell Muppets to Jim Henson's Children for $89 Million

    There was a TMTM exhibit in Central Park? How cool is that? Do give details, please! I agree about TMS Live. I'd like to see an extended (about 15 minutes or so) entirely devoted to SS; probably a musical medley or something. They could also do a belated Fraggle Rock anniversary production...

    EM.TV to Sell Muppets to Jim Henson's Children for $89 Million

    Right. Let me make it clear I don't want a Sesame Fest. The anniversary celebration is more just to give it an even better reason for being in NY. But that would only be one part of the Fest, which would be mainly TMS character-centered. There should also be a segment focusing on all the Muppet...

    EM.TV to Sell Muppets to Jim Henson's Children for $89 Million

    Muppets haven't done very well as midseason replacements, but then I fear it'd be even worse if they started at the beginning of the season. Call me crazy, but March-April has never worked out for the Muppets. I hate to say it, but the Muppets might work best as a summer series when there's...

    Scooter: who's who

    Actually, I think Dave played the Chef for his brief scene in MFS. But the general rule still applies: Kermit has sung with Rowlf, as Sarah noted; Piggy and Fozzie exchanged a dialogue in the same film; the Chef has talked to Waldorf before; and in VMMCM, Kermit and Rizzo exchanged a few...

    EM.TV to Sell Muppets to Jim Henson's Children for $89 Million

    In addition to the possible Batman movie, and the Superman movie for which they're COMPLETELY reworking his origins and his basic story, they're doing Catwoman with Halle Berry and basically just ripping her storyline out of Batman Returns. So we're basically going to get a retread of what we've...

    Scooter: who's who

    I don't think Rowlf's absence has anything to do with Pepe. All of the performers juggle multiple characters. It has more to do with if the writers decide to use him, or if Bill doesn't feel comfortable in the part yet. Here's to more :sympathy: !

    Scooter: who's who

    If anyone has a clip of the voices from RaceMania, PLEASE post them! I've never had a chance to hear them myself. Does anyone remember Dwayne? He used to post at the Delphi MC forum a lot. We got in a Muppet Impressions contest once, and he did an absolute dead-on Scooter. It was so good it...
