    Muppet Classic Theatre

    You know, out of all the projects the Henson company has undertaken in the past 10 years I see very, very little written about this project. It's almost as though it doesn't exist here in the minds of those in the muppet central forum. I was wondering what y'all thought of the program. My...

    Question for Karen Prell

    Karen, I hope you're doing well. We haven't met before but I have certainly appreciated your friendly posts over the past year or so. I was wondering if you could answer a question that I have regarding a sketch from sesame street? There's a song where about the differences between...

    The most tear-jerking Muppet moment...

    Not to get off subject but I remember that day quite well too. I came home from high school that afternoon. I had known that Jim Henson was ill, I think from the night before, but still his death was quite a shock. I remember sitting on my couch rather numb. I don't want to sound...

    The most tear-jerking Muppet moment...

    Two years ago, I had just moved from my home town of 15 or so years. It was the first time, since college, that I decided to move away from my family and go forth into the unknown. I never could have realized how hard it would be to leave my mom, dad, sister and so many good friends behind...

    Unpaved Episodes between 1972 to 1979

    Hi Everyone, I'm really interested in obtaining video copies of any of the unpaved episodes between season 3 and up to the hawaii episodes (which I already have). Can anyone help me? I don't have much to trade except an excellent two disc CD set of songs and sketches from the episodes I...

    Queen's Jubilee Concert airs on VH1 Sunday June 9th

    Hey Phil, Kermit was there...sitting on Tom Jones' shoulder most of the time...right next to Ozzy Osbourne. Unfortunately, we were not able to see him in any other part of the show. Alas Still, it was fun, if not odd, seeing him there next to all those luminaries. It seemed as...

    The best Muppet moment ever!

    Re: Speaking of Pigs In Space... "Does anyone like this bit? I'm anxious to see if anyone finds it as funny as I do!!" I quite agree with you...the timing is excellent and it's very funny throw-away gag. Good stuff, indeed. Honestly, I think Link is an under-rated character. He's not...

    The best Muppet moment ever!

    One of my favourite muppet moments is from a Muppet Show Pigs in Space segment. The segment starts with a close up of Link's hand drawing some space related objects on a pad of paper with a pencil. "If the vast outer reaches of the universe is here... *drawing another x* ...and we're...

    Did anyone tapes these? If so, I would love to get a copy somehow. Scott

    Frank Oz on CNN & Yoda Stuff

    I saw that, it was on Ebert and Roeper. I think the context was that the new CGI version of Yoda is so good that it makes the puppet (as good as it was) look like a mere puppet. I haven't seen it yet so who knows...but the original (particularly in Empire) looked incredible to these eyes...

    Northern Calloway

    I posted the same question a few years ago and there's not too much information about Mr. Calloway. Which is unfortunate given that he was such an important member of the cast for so long. I love listening to him sing "My Name" on the Sesame Street Live album from the 70's. I also love...

    Frank Oz on CNN & Yoda Stuff

    Speaking of Frank's performance as Yoda... I viewed The Empire Strikes Back once more and was just amazed at the power of his performance. There was something about Yoda that didn't work for me in Phantom Menance (the character seemed rather wooden to me) but after watching Empire I realized...

    Who are you?

    Hi There, I used to be the King of 8 but I recently abdicated my throne to become your Ol' Buddy Bert. I dunno...the name just seemed friendlier. So, I'm still here lurking about...I just don't have much to say I guess.
