    Muppet Screensaver

    This link was recommended in my computer magazine - I haven't tried it yet, but sounds quite good. They describe it thus: "THE MUPPETS SCREENSAVER EVERYONE LOVES THE MUPPETS! This is fantastic. The screensaver kicks off with classic Muppets Song Phenomenon before ploughing straight into a...

    Question about UK DVD Releases?

    Does anyone know if MTI and MCC are going to be released in the UK on DVD. There always seems to be differences in what R1 and R2 get in terms of extras - sometimes there is more on R1 than R2 and vice versa. Anyone who can tell me more would be great. Also, does anyone know if there is an...

    Muppet Show Question

    I think I am right in thinking that everyone involved with the programme knew that the Muppet Show would end at the end of season five. My question is - did they do anything special on that last episode - who was the guest star? And, did Kermit say 'We'll see you next time on the Muppet Show!'...

    Muppet Film and TV References

    I know that we've had a few of these on other threads (Simpsons etc), but thought it might be good to have a thread that combines them all. So, if you can remember a reference, then get posting! I'll start us off (and sadly, this is the only one I can think of at the moment). In the film...

    The best Muppet moment ever!

    radionate - I'm not sure who did 'Lime in the Coconut' originally - but it was written by a guy called Harry Nilson, and seems to be the 'song that made him famous' although I've never heard of him. "Now let me get this straight! You put the lime in the coconut..........." Guy!

    The best Muppet moment ever!

    So difficult to choose, but my absolutely favourite song on the Muppet Show was 'Kermit in the Hospital Bed' - whenever I hear it I can't get it out of my head... Doctor! Is there nothing I can take? I say, Doctor! To relieve this flipper ache? Ahh...classic. I, too, also love the...

    Goodbye to Jim Henson song

    "Just One Person" was also performed at the Jim Henson's funeral, I believe. I would love to hear the version from the "Muppets remember Jim Henson" - anyone got an mp3?? Also, wasn't Just One Person on one of the Muppet Records? I have a feeling that I have it somewhere... Anway, here...

    Can you dye foam?

    Cheers Buck-Beaver - I'll have a go and let you know how I get on! I think you are quite right when you say 'experiment' - there dont seem to be any hard and fast rules in the world of puppetry - in fact it would be quite boring if there were!! Guy

    Can you dye foam?

    Hi Guys! I will be using sheet foam (1/2") for my puppets and my question is - can you dye it? I read on another post that some of the older Dr. Teeth puppets were dyed foam. For example, there are some dyes that you can use in Washing Machines - could you put foam in a washing machine and...

    Puppet help needed

    Hi There! Now, I'm no expert myself - but I bought the foam book which I think is really great. It is really clear and has inspired me to make some puppets myself. The head would be made from a half inch sheet of foam. Basically you would have two panels to make the head (hard to...

    The Hoobs - Quality Entertainment

    I think its a shame that the Hoobs aren't very popular. The stories are always quite good and the concept of the show is a good one (i.e. gathering data for a Hoobapedia!) and it has some pretty good songs in it as well! C'mon - you know you all sing along with the Motorettes! Hoobletoodledo!

    Puppet Coverings

    Hello everyone, my first ever post to the Muppet Central forums is about to begin.... I want to make some puppets out of foam and have been reading various articles, books etc. about it, but I am a bit stuck when it comes to coverings... I know the Muppets use Antron Fleece, which is...
