    The Muppets have a table read for the new "Greatest" Muppet movie

    James Bobin did a great job on FOTC, so I was glad they chose him, but this just confirms to me even more that he is the right choice for the Muppets.

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock the Comic

    Thought it was great, each of the artists brought something to it to appreciate. And not only was there a Large Marvin cameo, but a Lou Fraggle cameo too!

    The Brand New Ask Jim Lewis Thread

    Hi Jim, did you write the character commentary for the Bohemian Rhapsody video, and did any performer improvisations make it into the commentary? Also, I know we were all wishing Dave well with his shoulder surgery from a few months ago. So I just want to say we're still sending him the best...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Ok, here are the first four issues of the original mini-series before the renumbering started. (The web site has made an error and listed #5 and #6 of the new series with the old series, so just ignore those for now. Just look at the first four covers, those are the ones to read first.) Then...

    Funniest Fraggle Moments

    My favorites are all Boober moments. (And of course, basically anything with Philo and Gunge is comedy gold.)

    I didn't catch the whole episode of Community, but at the very end, two characters were dressed up as Bert and Ernie and they did a bit as them, then they "ate" cookies and had the cookies fall out of their mouths just as though they were Muppets.

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    There was supposed to be a Traveling Matt cameo? Any details on where he would have showed up? That would have been great. Is the original MFS script available to read anywhere?

    Tonight on The Jay Leno Show, Jay had Jimmy Fallon on for the 10 @ 10 segment. Jimmy was in his studio in NY, and he showed everyone the pipes that the Muppeteers had painted decades ago while they were waiting to go on a show. The pipes are now preserved behind plexi-glass.
