You are reading too much You can think this all you want, but you are still wrong. "H.R." is "Royal Highness" (oops...another drug reference!) backwards and Pufnstuf's name was originally "Luther" (I can't find a drug reference). The program was originally going to be called Luther Land...

Drugs? You are crazy! I watched H.R. Pufnstuf as a child on NBC in the late 60's & early 70's. I loved it from the second I saw the program. I continue to admire this program, and other Krofft productions to this day. Granted the characters are rather odd, but this is a FANTASY program...

What of MuppetCentral.com ??? Will The Mouse pull the plug on this wonderful web site?

I just learn of the news ...and I am not that thrilled. Disney is an evil money worshiping company that will eat The Muppets' souls for breakfast and poop out a poor quality Muppet-clone. This is the end of The Muppets as we knew them. :(

Public Access cable TV! I live in Cincinnati and take FREE classes at the public access TV studio at www.mediabridges.org . They have Apple G4 computers, Canon GL-1 cameras, a wonderful studio space, and a helpful staff. Did I mention...it's FREE! Your profile says that you live in...

Doing it live! And as the folks who perform live will tell you, nothing feels better than hearing the audience laugh and applaud! If they were drugs, I'd be a junkie by now. ;)

Do It Yourself I am like Rugby, married, 39 years old, mortgage + many other bills, and planning to start a family this year. However, I have a very strong DiY (do it yourself) attituite towards my creative projects. I got back into puppets in 2001, I hadn't done anything since 1977! I...

Most professional puppeteers will allow you to look at their gear after the show. When Hobey Ford performed in Cincinnati a few years ago, I emailed him in advance to ask if I may look at his puppets & stage. He was so nice, he gave me a free ticket to see the show, invited me back stage, and...

Great puppet! I really like the cartoon look that your puppet has, especially his crazy eyes! What will you be using the puppet for? BTW -cool SW collection

Thanks gang Some good input indeed. The public access studio does make it clear that the creator/producer retains all the rights to the work. I even own the video tape after they run the show 6 times. Here's a link to the studio if you are interested: Media Bridges I am still learning...

This year I plan to produce a short public access tv show using my own puppets/scripts/music. I would like to protect my work by copyrighting it. Has anyone on the board done this with their creations? I do not have lots of money to hire a lawyer and would like to know if there is an...

I'll put the call out to the folks I know in the Cincinnati area, although I think we are too far South. Have you tried listing this request at www.puppeteers.org

Good luck fellow Bostonian I am from Boston but now live in Cincinnati. Have you contacted the folks at Puppetshow Place in Brookline? Maybe they can help you find puppeteers. Here's a link: http://www.puppetsbostonguild.org/

Giving characters "character" All my puppets start out on a sketch pad. I doodle various ideas until one clicks with me. Then I bounce the idea off my wife, and get her feedback since she is very good at suggesting ways to improve on my doodles. After the puppet is built I play around...

Hands Up! I like working hand/glove puppets since I feel that I can make them "come alive" more than other styles of puppets. I enjoy watching marionettes, although I am not very good with the control stick. :p

Hello everyone! I have been taking classes at our public access tv studio in Cincinnati in preparation to produce my own TV puppet show. I have a few scripts written, and many design sketches for the puppets & sets. My project for the winter months is to build the "cast" (9-10 puppets) and...

Greg on DVD? Has anyone heard any news about GtB on DVD? I would bet that chances are pretty good that it will be released someday, since studios are seeing that they can make money from canceled TV shows.

I hope that this series is released on DVD, so the rest of us can check it out. After looking over PTK's web site I have decided that I MUST see this series.

I have read about the conference, and know someone who has attended one a few years ago. Have any Muppet Central boarders attended? I am thinking of going next year. http://www.oneilltheatercenter.org/prog/puppet/puppprog.htm

Boo Hoo I can't attend. The biggest reason is that I can't afford it. I plan to go to the Great LAkes Region Potlatch weekend in November. Our guild (Cincinnati) is looking into hosting a P of A event in the future.
