Yeah totally. Johnny Fiama and Sal Manila. lol Personally I find them funnier than Pepe. Sal is the over aggressive body guard and Johnny is the hacky showbizy Frank Sinatra that looks like a car salesmen. lol God I miss those too. I still remember the episode where he had Sal throw a bikini...

Andy and Randy (I love to see more of them, Steve and Dave are still performing so why not?, they were hilarious on Muppets Tonight) Semore (Personally I think Pepe needs him, they were both great on Muppets Tonight but just Pepe, UGH!) Fleet Scribbler (I personally thought he was kind of...

I just got mp3s from Amazon of Poison to Poison, Old Black Magic, and There's a New Sound (the original that could have been on Labrynth). I've heard that Mel Blanc's version of the Stan Fredberg song "Money" was on Sam & Friends. Funny thing that I discovered that song before I even knew that...

I remember watching a clip of Behind the Actors Studio and Connelly said wonderful and nice things about Jim and her experience on Labyrinth which was nice. This was of course the question after being asked about her various (*cough*) scenes in lots of movies, saying that she didn't feel...

So is this a go project or is it still in the works? I'd love to see this. Is Brain going solo with this or is this an Henson Alternative project. Personally I'd love to see another R rated puppet movie. I enjoy adult puppetry a lot. Spitting Image, Crank Yankers, Greg the Bunny, etc. Plus I've...

I've found it kind of strange that The Muppets made appearances on random TV shows lately. But then again, it's a whole new TV today. There isn't any more variety shows like Julie Andrews or Ed Sullivan. But personally I always loved when The Muppets were on late night, it gives them a change to...

I was reading on the regular wiki Muppet Show article (wikipedia, not Muppet Wiki) and it said that the German release of The Muppet Show Season 1 is uncut and includes the English audio option except for the opening theme. I never heard of that. Makes me want to buy it next month. "The only...

Wow, very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, only $5. And Jim got $10 a week when we was performing on The Junior Good Morning Show. Good thing he majored in Business at The University of Maryland. Which kind of confuses me. How did he go to college there and do Sam & Friends in Washington? Did he drive all that way back and forth?

Yeah same here, I had a cab driver years ago play his cassette and I was like, HEY THAT WAS ON SAM AND FRIENDS! I used to have a cassette years ago. I need some Louis Prima and Kelly Smith on my iPod. Some of the best Jazz ever.

Hi, did anyone know that some of the songs used on Sam & Friends is on Amazon mp3, like Stan Freberg's Ci'bone, Yellow Roads of Texas, etc. Plus I've even heard Spike Jones' Posion to Posion is on there somewhere. I have some of the Stan Freberg stuff on my ipod. Does anyone know of any of...

Oh My God, this is amazing. I used to read those books and have the books on tape as a kid. So glad JHC is going to be doing something with them. I hope they have those monotone voices like on the tapes, those were funny. lol

I took a brief look at the Comic at The Disney Store and thought the drawings were kind of bad, especially some characters having teeth. However if you look carefully you can see a bunch of rare characters from the shows and the humor is very close to the actual Muppet humor. I only read a page...

Yeah kind of like the rumor that Muppet is a cross between Muppet and marionette. Which reminds me of how lots of people said that Jim was Kermit and Kermit was Jim and Jim said in an interview that Kermit isn't him but all the characters has a part of the Muppeteer within their personalities...

Thanks why I'm on Muppet Central. lol :)

LOL I loved the Caroll Spinney story, "Muppets West", lol. Never heard that one. I've heard the story about Kermit Scot but he was a childhood friend right? Did Jim ever see to speak to him in his later years? I wonder what he thought being the inspiration name for Kermit? lol Never heard...

Just curious, did Jim Henson ever have a best friend or close friends before The Muppets or even outside the media industry? I remember hearing that Jim was sort of shy but when The Muppets grew, not only he developed a huge team of talented people but a lot of close friends with his...

That's Hollywood media for yah, oy! lol Though I feel kind of bad that Frank doesn't want to say his true opinion about the current Muppets because not only did a lot of the Muppet Show characters come from him and he performed them and have them life but wasn't he also co-creative consultant of...

I thought he refereed not wanting to state his thoughts about the script or when he does see the movie, because I think that interview was before the premiere of the movie.

Really? Frank didn't like it, wow. Must have been totally inaccurate then. Though I did like how they wrote for Jim in terms of his vocabulary and stuff but then again, certain things were a bit exaggerated. It's a weird script and I think this screenplay writer really wanted this thing made, it...
