It definitely looks like areas of Canada that were used to simulate New England in countless films. And Jerry Nelson has discussed his role in Lighthouse Island in interviews, so it really is him, for a fact.

Well, I know Chris Makepeace is from Canada, and I'm pretty certain most of the cast members (besides Jerry Nelson) were Canadian. Of course, it wouldn't shock me to find that I'm completely wrong and that it was shot in England. I just wish I knew for sure! I know it's meant to come across as a...

Assuming other people remember this second-half episode of the Jim Henson Hour, titled "Lighthouse Island", written by Jerry Juhl and starring Chris Makepeace, does anyone know where it was filmed? My first instinct is Canada (though where in Canada?), but IMDB.com doesn't have anything. Any...

James Frawley is still alive. The guy's been directing a bunch of TV episodes of top shows. The guy is one of the best comedy directors ever. I'd say the reason why people want Frank do direct another Muppet project rather than any other Muppet performer is simply based on experience and...

Wonderful puppet! And I'm very impressed with your knowledge of Big Daddy Roth! Your knowledge of such a classic underground cartoonist combined into a well designed puppet impresses me on several levels. Great work all around!

This is beyond a shadow of a doubt the single most well thought out and intelligently conveyed message I've ever read on Muppet Central. Gordon, thank you for validating my decision to come back the the Muppet Central boards. It has been entirely worth it to read your thoughts on the Muppets and...

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet (or even if I've mentioned it already), but there was a stop-motion animated skit where this weird furry looking duck with what looked like horns and big teeth sat atop a mountain, and his toothbrush started talking to him about the importance of...

She's obviously stressed and she needed to blow, and this is how she did it. Personally, I feel sorry for her. She was seen crying in her car before she did it, so obviously it's not a publicity stunt, it's a human in pain. I hope someone's out there looking out for her. I don't get people who...

I checked Amazon.com, and there wasn't anything except a listing for the old record album, which they didn't even have in stock. So I seriously doubt there are any plans to release it on DVD or we would have heard it by now. However, there are a few people on these boards who are selling copies...

My own tribute to Joe Barbera, if you're interested.... http://fourpanelhero.deviantart.com/

This seems like a cool thread, so I figured I'd play along too. Here's a short comic book story I did with my characters Dead Duck and Zombie Chick, who are minions for the Grim Reaper (or Death) and pick up spirits of the deceased for him...

My god! You must be a professional sculptor...this piece is lavishly gorgeous!! Wonderful, wonderful work!!!

This is a truly great question! Something about the Muppets appealed to me from my infancy and never stopped. Sesame Street was my favorite show as a baby, and by the time I was in elementary school, there wasn't anything I didn't know about the Muppets and Jim Henson. I've had a love affair...

The MuppeTelevision segments were meant exclusively for the show. Each intro was probably made in the same advanced time as most TV shows. So while Jim probably intended them to run on specific days (like Mother's Day), NBC likely pre-empted the show for something else, like a Presidential...

Happy birthday, Beau!

A. How come and B. How'd you manage your way back?

Waitaminnit....Kimp? Did you leave? I apologize if I hadn't noticed. I've been gone from MC for quite awhile myself.

Kristen won the Tony award a few years back for playing Sally Brown in the Broadway production of "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown". Though she's been doing a lot of TV and movie work since, I felt using her performance as Sally would be the best visual for a caricature of her.

It's a very common mistake, but Return to Oz isn't actually a Henson film. Lyle Conway, who helped found Jim Henson's Creature Shop at their beginning, broke away from the Henson's in the mid 80's and founded his own creature effects shop. It was his company which created the animatronic puppets...

I cannot suggest strongly enough for anyone to avoid doing this to their Kermit replica. For one, given the cost of the replica, why would you want to chop the doll all up? It's like the farmer who owned the goose which laid golden eggs. He got greedy and decided to cut her open to get more...
