And again, this applies to those who are still involved with the Muppets today, either regularly or semi-regularly (and yes, I say Henson Alternative is part of the Muppets). In all honesty, Steve has my up-most admiration and respect, because that was such a daunting take for him to take over...

Yeah, pardon me for a moment whilst I brag about my new toy from good ol' HP, a dandy little machine that's been a long time coming! Man, I love it! Really snazzy, and the speed! THE SPEED! When Phil changed the forum last summer, MC became slooooow on my old computer, taking anywhere between...

If these aren't signs the world is coming to an end in 2012, I don't know what are... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/18/annoying-orange-cartoon-network_n_1101583.html http://www.nick.com/shows/fred/ On the other hand, I guess it really does help to fork over your money to YouTube to...

Outside the world of Muppets, are there any fictional characters out there in pop culture that you particularly relate to? For me, there are two biguns: Radar O'Reilly and George Costanza. Radar moreso as I was growing up, as I unfortunately lived a VERY sheltered life, and my folks rather...

I mean, if there isn't one already, there should be, considering he was the one who basically turned Jim's ideas and dreams into reality (and probably turned some of his realities into ideas and dreams as well). I know we naturally celebrate Jim on his birthday (and sadly his death day too)...

I like all of them, they each have a very unique and distinctive design, but overall, I think the lavendar has more versatile use to it, since it doesn't really have a stand-out shape/design that makes you point out and reference to other characters (like such as, "Gee, Simon Soundman must be...

I'm curious as to how the design of the tall orange/pumpkin AM can work with flexibility in performance... it's hard to tell, but it almost seems like the basic foam structure is basically like a closed off cylinder, so how would the mouth be designed? Would it basically be like a dart-shaped...

Cones.

This has happened to me on occasion: I meet someone, or someone meets me, they find out or realize that I'm a puppeteer, and when they do, their reaction is usually, "Oh, how cool, puppetry is such an under-rated artform". Since I am active in the field of puppetry, and know there are a lot of...

All this talk about the nature of kiddie shows today and such got me to thinking about something that seems to be happening in kiddie shows A LOT these days: forced celebrity cameos. I know celebrity appearances have been rampant in kiddie shows for decades, but in this day and age, it seems...

Keep in mind, this is applying to those who are still involved with the Muppets to this day (even if it's not on a continual/regular basis).

I'm definitely going with the first choice: whenever you have a successful TV series, doing a movie on it only enhances the "magic" the show endeared itself with to us, plus there's always something exciting about seeing your favorite characters on the big screen (still wish something came into...

Does anyone know why Sprout is suddenly playing the current seasons of SST? I mean I tuned in today, expecting to see something from like Seasons 33, 34, or even 35, only to be met with Murray and the Word on the Street, followed by the hip-hop-esque main titles, followed by Chris reading a...

A lot of visual effects done for puppetry nowadays are done with greenscreen/bluescreen/chromakey, in fact, chromakey is pretty much the norm for a lot of visual effects anymore because of how cheap it is... however, chomakey may be cost-cutting, but anymore, it also LOOKS cheap, even in...

I didn't include Emmet Otter or Christmas Toy since they've gotten recognition in recent years, or those that have gotten a bit of a cult status thanks to YouTube and such.

Well, it's almost time for the annual overkill of award shows and ceremonies to plague our TV sets for the next couple of months or so, and of course, the Golden Globes are coming up right now, but when I think about it, I find myself asking myself... what exactly is the point of the Golden...

Penguins FTW!

I know that the first three Muppet movies have gone through some restoration and edits over the years (as do a lot of older movies), but it seems like MTM has had way more edits over the years than other Muppet movies, just to name a few off the top of my head: - Night scenes have gotten...

Love ya man, sorry for missing your big day, hope it was a good one! P.S. Why is there no longer a birthday feature on the forum?

I was looking rhough People magazine at those we have lost this past year, and was surprised to see comedian Patrice O'Neal was on the list at the age of 41, I hadn't heard anything about his death, but I did read up about it, and learned that he had complications from a stroke he had back in...
