    TV Alert: Frank Oz on The Colbert Report November 28

    I think Colbert does that to all his guests and like most talk show hosts, they review what's going to be asked and said ahead of time before the show. That's how David Letterman did it from my knowledge. Though Frank did mention how much he loved Colbert taking a bow before interviewing his...

    Rare Jim Henson / Muppet footage from 1977

    It looks like it might have been from a documentary at the time on television but probably not seen since.

    TV Alert: Frank Oz on The Colbert Report November 28

    There was some points where Frank would give this kind of stair. Totally straight face. Especially when Colbert did his imitation of Yoda, but at least Frank slimed a little bit mocking Colbert's Yoda hand signal whatever it was. I can't remember. I'm totally going to watch it again on my DVR...

    TV Alert: Frank Oz on The Colbert Report November 28

    I loved how Frank slammed his hands on the table lol I want a blu-ray player so I can get that Little Shop of Horrors Blu-Ray and of course all the other ones as well. Muppet Christmas Carol is coming to Blu-ray or it just did, totally on my Christmas want list. :)

    TV Alert: Frank Oz on The Colbert Report November 28

    One think I wanted to mention was that on talk shows and stuff usually the host and guest talk about what's going to be asked most of the time before the show. I'm sure Frank said no just for respect of Kevin if it was brought up.

    TV Alert: Frank Oz on The Colbert Report November 28

    Yeah I was worried about that too. I know that TMZ stalked Tom Kenny voice actor legand for animation about it and even Brain Henson who nicely told them to leave him alone and said "Kevin is a great performer" and left it at that. Oh I was ticked off with TMZ, I left a few raging emails with...

    TV Alert: Frank Oz on The Colbert Report November 28

    Just seen it. Hilarious. And his response "WHAT?" when asked a risky Muppet question which I don't think I can rewrite on this form. But Frank was laughing the whole time and even refusing to answer some questions with a straight face. It was just great seeing Frank Oz again. And he's even...

    Latest Frank Oz article, seen on The Times in UK

    Beautiful article! Thanks for sharing :) I just remembered, during the aftermath of the Huricane Sandy when having no power, I meet someone in my neighborhood who used to have a restaurant that was right next to Jim's old New York building. I think he said something about being downstairs or...

    Questions about Muppet Babies in general

    Dancing in the Street, the episode with the mice. The music in that was great. I like some of the music on there like the "Underground" song. But yeah, I remember seeing it and knowing that's Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and the rest. I already knew them by heart but it just didn't feel like The...

    I'm not sure if it got sinicated to other news outlets, since the news tends to be copy and pasted where ever it does.

    Found new stuff in The Great Muppet Caper

    I totally agree. I've read and heard about stuff like how the puppeteers tried to hide the arm rods in movies by having the characters hands on the bottom of the screen most of the time which kind of bothers me because it limits the performance. As a Muppet fan it's not like I point out how many...

    Questions about Muppet Babies in general

    Plus the 1980s was a rough time for creative artists. I've heard lots of stories from cartoonists who would later create wonderful shows in the 1990s. But today's industry is kind of going back to that area in my opinion even films and tv, it's like they won't open the doors for you unless you...

    Rare Jim Henson / Muppet footage from 1977

    I just found this and I wanted to share this with everyone. RARE FOOTAGE, Most of it is the Muppet crew getting ready for Emmit Otter's Jugband Christmas. Anyone know who officially owns this footage?

    Worst... Elmo product...EVER

    For the Fisher Price line, I've always liked the Gonzo Beanbag. I love the sculpted face. Gonzo is rare in terms of quality made merchandise. I love Gonzo's hair on this Beany doll. Probably one of my all time favorite Muppet merchandise. The old suit that most of the characters wore...

    Found new stuff in The Great Muppet Caper

    I miss the way Jerry Juhl and the original Muppet Writers wrote for the Muppets with that anything for a laugh style. Either a bad pun or an explosion out of no where or a monster eating another Muppet, something crazy happening in the background Gonzo on a Motorcycle or Animal going Alagator...

    Found new stuff in The Great Muppet Caper

    I even noticed that even Kermit's fingers moved when he typed on a computer in some Jim Henson Hour: MuppeTelevision episodes. Though I also noticed that paticular Kermit's eyes are slightly higher up on his head then usual. Or slightly up backword is a better way to put it.

    Worst... Elmo product...EVER

    You know, there's one thing that I always wonder. How come plush rejects always end up in claw machines? It's like 90% of the time, the most ugliest plushes of well known or half baked unknown characters are always in there and even well known characters of the wrong character. I can swear that...

    Worst... Elmo product...EVER

    I rarely see good Muppet merchandise now a days. In my opinion, I don't think the current plush dolls are up to quality like they did back in the 90s and before. Though I think certain characters can be made of all plush and some art. Like Kermit is totally possible, I rarely seen bad Kermit...
