L&H to me where the best comedy team of all time. They did such great classic work. I guess one of their most famous films is "The Music Box" where they have to pull a piano up a flight of stairs. One of the things I love about L&H is that in real life they were best friends till the day...

I myself don't know the actual reason, but it's not a secret to those who have worked with them in studios.

Frank is the best performer and that makes him lash out when things aren't done to his perfection. And why would anyone want to argue with the Master puppeteer that he is. I don't know about Brian Henson, but I do know that Frank and Steve Whitmire don't get along.

First Time the ELectric Mayhem was ever seen. I was a kid growing up in NYC and the local PBS station had a pledge drive and were asking people to call in their donations. They told everyone to stay tuned that Jim Henson was going to premiere a whole new bunch of never before seen Muppets on...

Personally disappointed to see the name Henson associated with any puppet project that includes the words "not for children." Henson projects were always family oriented. Brian Henson, for the sake of dirty humor, you are willing to ruin the quality that the name Henson once stood for...

Also Sesame Street is probably one of the few shows that you actually see the floor of the street in many shots. I think it's nice that we see that cobblestone design on the floor near the carriage house as well as the sidewalks. It's nice when the camera pans and you actually see the street...

They should make an episode of Gordon and Susan moving.. to the apartment on the right. That would correct the show's error of when they look out the side window to help Big Bird. Over the years we've seen the roof of 123 a few times as well.

Found this on the web: Frank Oz, the British director, actor and puppeteer best known for Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog, has moved into (England's) Ealing Studios to direct his own film, a comedy called Death at a Funeral starring Matthew Macfadyen, Peter Dinklage, Daisy Donovan, Rupert...

Thanks for sharing that video! I would imagine it's not just Jiffy Lube but most mechanics all over that do this kind of stuff. Jffy Lube must be very unreliable when even their district manager is a snake. I read something a while back that when you go to a repair center and you see that...

First of all, great to hear from you and thanks for explaining the situation from those years on SS. It was wonderful to read what you experienced in those days. And yes I agree Sesame Street Unpaved is filled with errors. I once mentioned the book to some of the cast I had met and they made...

The only upside of Dial-up that I can think of is the low price. Cable and DSL are great when hooked directly to the computer. Cable speeds supposedly can slow down based on the number of people connected to the line in your neighborhood at any one time. But I've never seen anyone complain...

You might all be interested to know that there is a 5-year plan to remarket and recreate the Muppets so I heard the other day from a source. 1- Have Kermit and the Muppets appear on other people's TV shows during the course of 5 years to re-introduce the Muppets to the world. 2- Toward...

How about the MHC being lead by: Bernie Brillstein (Jim's agent)- Think of all the shows Bernie must have booked for Jim during his life, that's a guy I'd like in charge! David Lazer and creative consultant Frank Oz.

Very true. It's a problem that's been around for a while, but at least for me when I read things like this quote from Forbes Magazine; "Last year (Disney), generated nearly $2.5 billion in free cash flow on a gargantuan $31.9 billion in revenue." It does make one wonder why Disney hasn't taken...

As far as the Muppet Holding Company goes, there's only Russell Hampton, who we all know by now has done zero for the Muppets. Office administrator Debbie McClellan and producer Martin Baker. While these people are currently the administrative head of the Muppets, none of these people have...

Not only deaths do people fake online, but illness to attract attention. Even if a death or illness is legit and you really don't know the person it's possibly best to not even acknowledge the person making the claim since you don't know if it real. On the topic of deaths, I always wondered...

Can the title of this thread be renamed to just 'Frank Oz' for example? When I read the header, it scared me into thinking he had died also.

As far as the Muppet Holding Company goes, it does seem like the Muppets are on the verge of simply going away. I've lost a lot of hope with those running the company. It's obvious they really don't have the business skills. Disney should clean house and give Frank Oz power as creative...

They are probably unisex, but odds are guys will buy the Kermit sneakers and gals will buy the Piggy sneakers.

I do remember that the puppets were built by 'Clash Puppets', I don't recall any other involvement he had with the show.
