When Lew Zeland throws his Boomerang Fish at the Movie Screen in The Muppets Take Manhattan, I'm surprised he didn't get thrown out. Perhaps The Swedish Chef was the manager. Poor Scooter, he's the only sane one working there. (besides the audience that doesn't seem to notice, thinking the fish...

Well it would be kind of difficult if it was every Muppet ever made, I think it would be most of The Muppets that survived. Since foam does disintegrate, sadly some of the original puppets didn't survive and some did in storage. Plus also The Museum of The Moving Image is suppose to get another...

I was just thinking while Traveling Matt is exploring Outer Space knowing nothing about the culture of the Silly Creatures, how would he know how to purchase a postcard without money and same goes with mailing it out. Also how does he know Doc's address? I'm watching my boxset of the first...

http://www.amazon.com/Jim-Henson-Brian-Jay-Jones/dp/0345526112 Did anyone see this? It's like the apple poster that I have on my wall but Ernie being cropped out of the picture. Early Mid 70s I'm guessing.

4 and working in a restaurant? :eek: lol

Well they look like the old fashioned boxer shorts, very stripey.

I've noticed in illustrated book appearances he wears boxers but on screen there was never a full bodied version of Herry. When was the boxer shorts added to him?

One of the things that I've noticed was on MuppeTelevision on The Jim Henson Hour unlike The Muppet Show, this one had more of a satirical element to it which I found quite interesting. For example in Dog City, there's several mentions of "senseless violence" which was lampooning violence in the...

I would like to study more of the history of adult puppetry and political satire of puppetry from centuries ago before communication media, like theater puppetry in Europe and the United Kingdom. As an admirer of the artform, I've been getting more and more interested in the origins of satire...

Lately I've been quite obsessed with this clip, Same Sound Brown is sure one hip dude. :)

Yeah, I remember reading that there was a lot of Muppet fans growing up who got totally terrified of that when they first seen that. I don't think it scared me but it did develop in a nightmare which I think I mentioned where sleepless early grew like a giant, walked like Frankenstein's Monster...

Oops, sorry about the spelling error. It did take me awhile to get Boober's name, I think I used to write Boomer. lol

I like what they were trying to do, kind of like a Mad Magazine sort of parody but with the City Kids Hot Dog puppets, but I felt the writing could have been better. Kind of like the satire of Dinosaurs, specifically in the style of the DinoTV show within a show segments..

Sanford and Son George The Janitor as Sanford and Gonzo as Lamont I Love Lucy Red Fraggle as Lucy Ricardo Gobo as Ricky Ricardo Monkey as Ethel Boober as Fred The Munsters Robot Lincoln as Herman Dr. Bunsen as Grandpa Zondra as Marylin Beaker as Lily Robin as Eddie Addams Family Gonzo as...

Perhaps Crazy Harry was his Business partner and he set that up before his vacation to Mount Rushmore. :crazy:

These are Great, Thanks for sharing. :)

Right. Sorry I didn't mean for it to sound USA-centered, I sort of forgot it was an international show. I guess I was sort of thinking of people I've meet who remembered the show and me growing up never had a chance of seeing it until the 90s Videos came out. I'm so thankful for the internet now...

Plus also around that time 1974 / 1975 was quite a rough time for Jim because he was pitching The Muppet Show to all the networks in America at the time. I think the design for the Gorch Muppets had to look way different then the typical Muppet style so Jim and his crew could get away with more...

This is probably the wildest Roosevelt Franklin sketch I've ever seen. Plus I didn't know that Sound Brown made another appearance other then the Farley clip where they sing "M-A-N". He's really funny in this. Roosevelt sure has lots of energy. I know a rubber puppet of him was sold in the early...

I think most of the original Muppets from Sesame Street were with the exception of Big Bird and kid Muppets like Roosevelt Franklin, Prairie Dawn, Betty Lou, Farley, etc. I also noticed how in the classic episodes it was mainly Big Bird and Oscar that were seen on the street while the other...
