    Why didn't Jim Henson direct The Muppet Movie?

    Ditto, Beau. I just felt like I was losing my audience around Muppet Central as far as the cartoons were going, so I kinda disappeared for awhile. But I'm still here, and I'm really glad you are too, Beau. You and Dave are my best buds on these boards!

    Why didn't Jim Henson direct The Muppet Movie?

    HA! Naughty puppet humor! I love it!

    Why didn't Jim Henson direct The Muppet Movie?

    I think it was a matter of delegating responsibility. Jim has always had his hands in everything, but between Sesame Street, The Muppet Show and various specials and TV appearances, him helming an entire movie would have been impossible for him. Jim Frawley was (and is) an established and...

    Jerry Nelson Banner

    Seriously, could they have possibly found a more sinister looking picture of Jerry?! Happy birthday, muh man, from a fan who knows you're not nearly as scary as the photo they've posted of you!

    NEW Rabbit Puppet on Ebay

    Wow! Great work! He looks a bit like the rabbit from the Peter Jackson film, Meet The Feebles!

    Lennie Weinrib passed away.

    Man, this is hard. The guy and his work comprised an important cog in the works of my childhood. In the least, I can, no, we can, appreciate that he now joins a select legion of creative immortals who affected our lives with whimsey and childlike abandon. Sleep well, Lenny....

    That is an incredible piece! You should be very proud (and I should be very jealous)!

    New Talk Show: Late Night Buffet

    This is a double-edged sword for me. I've been longing to see the Henson company do some strictly adult themed material since the days of the SNL Gorch sketches. But the thing is, I don't see their show succeeding. Crank Yankers, Greg the Bunny and Wonder Showzen have all pushed the envelope...

    Muppet cartoon by Lowercasegods

    Can somebody help me here? I'd always thought the character was known as Fat Blue, but in the last fifften minutes, a couple people have told me he's called Mr. Johnson! Was I wrong all this time? Are they known by both names? Did I make Fat Blue up, like Brad Pitt's character in Fight Club? AM...

    Muppet cartoon by Lowercasegods

    Normally I'd jump at the chance to contribute to a project like yours, Count, but unfortunately my artistic schedule is pretty full these days (which explains the huge lapses of time between my cartoon postings). But to aid your other request, here's a description of the cartoon: Supergrover is...

    Muppet cartoon by Lowercasegods

    It's beena good long while guys, so I hope there's a couple of you out there who still remember me. I'm dropping off a new Muppet cartoon and I hope you enjoy it. It's a Super Grover piece which parodies the upcoming Superman Returns movie. Here's the description I gave on Deviantart for those...

    I couldn't find the post that got you in trouble. What was it all about?

    Daws Butler

    Mel Blanc and Paul Frees both got their starts in radio for sure, and I'd bet most of those others did, too. Stan Freeberg still works in radio. Come to think of it, I regret I neglected to mention him earlier. Thankfully, both he AND June Foray hold the keys to the kingdom of pioneering voice...

    Daws Butler

    Daws was truly great, no doubt. It saddens me to think that June Foray, the queen goddess of female voice over artists, is the last member of that pioneering fraternity of talent.

    Return to Oz

    Actually, Jim Henson's Creature Shop didn't do the puppets. Lyle Conaway, who helped form the creature shop, broke away and started his own company, and he did the puppets for Return To Oz, as well as performed the voice of the Gump. At the time, Brian Henson went over to Lyle's company and...

    I don't understand it...

    The strange thing was, I was listening to the Stevie Wonder Sesame Street song, where he uses the cool voice synthesizer, and I was really rocking out to it, like I was really feeling the "coolness" of it, then I felt the sensation like I was going to cry. A big rush of emotion. Then, like a...

    I don't understand it...

    I was sitting here at my computer, listening to my Sesame Street cd's, then for so apparent reason I became very sad and eventually cried a little. My fiancee says it's because I got nostalgic, but I tell you, I've been nostalgic before, and it was never like this. I was really caught off guard...
