    Is Gonzo Being phased out?

    I was thinking that too. Steve Whitmire and Dave Golez are are only original Muppeteers from the original The Muppet Show that's still performing. Plus Frank who doesn't perform anymore with the exception of a few new Sesame Street segments a year. And yeah Caroll Spinney though is Big Bird and...

    Clip edits/alterations in the Playhouse compilation videos

    I didn't notice much of the edits from the Playhouse Videos but definitely Meet The Muppets and More Muppets Please, and even clips shown in the documentary "The World of Jim Henson" where there's laugh tracks heard at the end of the Posion to Posion Sam & Friends episode and the final scene...

    Why don't Gonzo and Animal interact?

    I think there's an episode of The Muppet Show where Gonzo is panicking that his Mexican Jumping Beans were gone and Animal walks in the background hicuping and jumping, and then Gonzo is chasing Animal as Animal laughs and has a good time running. That's the only time I've seen them interact...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    I'd love to see the playhouse videos come to DVD, I used to rent these titles at Blockbuster as a kid all the time and couldn't get my own copy because video stores always told me they were out of print. I'm so grateful for the internet to find out of print media. Does Disney own these titles...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    HA HA HA, I love it. I wonder how the other Muppets got their auditions. I remember Kermit once said that he discovered Marvin Suggs in a train station in Ohio. "They weren't performing, they were just waiting." :)

    Those Ernie and Bert puppets I remember having, I think they are in storage. They were from the late 1970s / early 1980s. But that Kermit in that listing is totally a fake. I was expecting the Fisher Price Kermit puppet to be in that listing. lol

    There's certainly some pretty weird listings under Muppets on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-3-VINTAGE-HAND-PUPPETS-KERMIT-FROG-BERT-ERNIE-MUPPETS-SESAME-STREET-/111055747108?pt=TV_Movie_Character_Toys_US&hash=item19db703824 The Kermit listed is not the Fisher Price puppet from the 1970s, but...

    I just love the duet with Alice Cooper. Louise Gold I believe did Beakie's singing voice until it's revealed that Beakie is in fact Miss Piggy under Alice Cooper's spell. Wow what a coincidence, Louise worked on Spitting Image. I can't wait to see the return of her and Annie Sue Pig in the new...

    Get ready for some Muppet nightmare fuel

    I personally love Digit as well as how around the late 80s when the workshops were experimenting with more of the molded rubber puppets. It kind of gives a Spitting Image look to them like in the Mother Goose Stories series and The Ghost of Fafthner Hall (I still haven't seen a full episode of...

    Center for Puppetry Arts taking down Henson exhibits this summer

    I can't wait for that really big Jim Henson section that I've heard so much about, 700 of the original Muppets and props all together. When that's built and all set, I would travel to Atlanta to check that out. :)

    There was lots of deleted scenes too like Waldorf and Statler in weird places commenting the movie like on a camel or in the restaurant. lol Also wasn't there an alternative ending to Muppets Take Manhattan where Kermit talks to Gonzo asking why he didn't play the minister and Gonzo explained...

    Speaking of Germany, anyone ever seen those weird Ernie & Bert parodies "Bernie and Ert"? Unfortunately I won't post any clips because they are really TV-MA. lol But still really funny. These parody puppets of Ernie & Bert with one eye. And they're formatted like a typical Ernie & Bert sketch...

    I used to be terrified with Statler as the doorknocker in Muppet Christmas Carol myself. Didn't face my fears until early High school.
