I apologize profusely if this has already been done somewhere else in this forum, but I thought it might be fun to give it a try. So here we go: Prior to reading this thread (and hopefully posting to it), what was the last Muppet item you watched or listened to? For me, it was The Muppet...

Seriously, I love that line. And I've heard it a billion times, between seeing the movie in theatres when I was eight-going-on-nine, playing the GMC soundtrack album over and over, watching the movie at least three times on TV and now owning it on DVD with my wife...it hasn't grown one bit...

This chart has The Muppets in third place behind Hop (which has the Easter tie-in going for it) and Alvin 3: Chipwrecked... http://www.the-numbers.com/dvd/charts/annual/2012.php But THIS chart has The Muppets at #8 on the list of top home releases of 2012 (after only two weeks' worth of...

Just a quick note to acknowledge this at last (three weeks late, I know)... What a marvelous Walk of Fame ceremony for The Muppets. So happy to see the Hensons brought into it, and to witness all the fun little touches in this ceremony (including Sweetums unveiling the actual star! HAIL...

Actually, it was with great relief that my wife and I watched this on PBS and found that this wasn't the Elmo-centric piece we feared it might be. No offense to Elmo (who can occasionally be a very funny and versatile character) or Kevin Clash himself, but a little of that fuzzy fellow goes a...

I liked these. Not the best Muppet commercials ever, but still fun. And while it's true that we didn't see several favourites (Fozzie, Piggy, Rowlf, the Mayhem) I'm pleased that they were able to fit so many into each one-minute spot, especially the Chef (this may be the most interaction he's...

I have no idea whether Scooter was already booked to be at this year's TED conference when The Muppets was released - all I know is that I smiled a little wider at his line "'Bye, Lisa, I'm off to the TED conference!" when we watched our copy at home last night... ;)

Okay, my brain won't sit still and it came up with these other guest star possibilities: Will Ferrell, Alec Baldwin, Will Arnett, Topher Grace, Tobey McGuire, James Franco, Regis Philbin, Denis Leary, Lewis Black, Mike Myers, Aaron Carter, Justin Timberlake, Neil Patrick Harris, Tom Petty...

I resisted buying the soundtrack album or listening to these tracks for a few reasons: I didn't want spoilers; it was approaching Christmas and my wife and I were on a tight budget (and we still saw the movie twice anyway); all the soundtrack elements showed up on YouTube shortly after the...

Yes, count me in for the Blue Man Group! And, in answer to this question: Here's her Sesame Street appearance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwDyqKEGtO4

Off the top of my head: Stars who've already proven their "Muppet cred": Weezer, OK Go, Brad Paisley, Stephen Colbert, Jason Segel, Jack Black, Amy Adams, Jim Parsons, Kristen Schaal, Sarah Silverman, Zach Galifianakis, Jimmy Kimmel, Tina Fey, Emma Stone, Jim Carrey, Robert De Niro, Tom...

I started this thread with the Swedish Chef and I'll continue it (with thanks to all who have posted) by mentioning that his "Hoo, hoo, hoo" laugh is one of the Muppety things that really makes me smile as of late. I think it's more of a Bill Baretta tweak than one of Jim Henson's original...

I picked up The Muppets Original Soundtrack yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to hear Link's voice more prominently in the official soundtrack version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" than we do in the movie (not that we can't hear him at all, but the Jack Black chaos tended to drown out parts...

Thank you Count...I figured that was Rudman. At least he's got her sounding more like Janice from TMS Season 2 onward and not TMS Season 1 (with all due respect to Erin Ozker - I just wasn't a fan of that voice affectation, that's all).

I got home last night JUST in time to see a late-afternoon broadcast of The Talk on a Western Canadian channel we get on our cable systems here in the east...My wife and I got a HUGE charge out of this!!! Loved the way they staged the hosts' "entrance" so Piggy could join them, and the little...

This is SO FREAKING AWESOME I can barely see straight to type this!!! One of the things that has excited me the most about the Muppet renaissance of the last five years is the full-force return of beloved elements like The Electric Mayhem - they sounded fabulous on A Green and Red Christmas and...

Try the Web site for The Comedy Network in Canada, which has last night's episode available for viewing: www.thecomedynetwork.ca This was a blast. Kermit was bang-on and it was obvious Colbert had a ball playing off him. Not in the same side-splitting category as Cookie Monster's appearance...

Agreed. And if there's even a shred of truth to the "source's" claim that she even joked about a scene involving meeting Miss Piggy in rehab, that shows (a) she's not taking her recovery seriously and (b) she doesn't recognize the Muppets don't delve into that kind of humour. Saw her in The...

I'm sure that was a joke by the writers to indicate that some seriously gimmicky Muppet movie ideas were floating around before Segel and Stoller got down to business... ...but the second I read that I thought of one of my favourite parts of GMC, "Piggy's Fantasy," and then the...

I'm surprised to hear that Dave Goelz would react that way - I think it was "pure genius" too and it remains a big part of why GMC is still one of my favourite movies (Muppet or otherwise). It allowed the Muppets to be themselves while still introducing some new character dynamics, and I think...
