Rainbow Ode (For Jim) In palty words my grateful heart is bade To sing a song of praise for what you made-- Compelling in its stark simplicity, You showed us things--alone--we could not see Without your sometimes skewed and funny glance That makes the timid long to take a chance...

Giving Fozzie his due

I'm going to wade right in here. IMHO, MWoO failed with the audience it was intending to reach because the characters were simply not likable. Whoa--before I get tarred and feathered (that's Gonzo's job)--I don't mean that the Muppets themselves weren't sympathetic, but that the characters...

Who is responsible for this? So who's responsibile for making sure that Miss Piggy doesn't get any pastel M&Ms in her suite? (Tongue firmly in cheek....) Thank you, Vic for you hard work and succinct explanations.

Oh my gosh--actually displays of emotion! (Gasp!) How heartening! I've been watching the Muppets all of my life (and most of theirs), and I'm a dyed-in-the-felt fan. Although initially apprehensive, I've embraced newer voices doing different roles, different "takes" on old characters that...

We get to hear Kermit's Mother on KTSY. Maybe it's going to be a running gag, like Norm's wife on "Cheers," or Niles' wife on "Frasier."

Are there any others out there who have devised costumes for Muppet dolls? I have an aviator jacket, scarf and flyers goggle for Kermit (off a teddy bear) and I've found a small red feather boa and feather headress for Miss Piggy. I'm also devising some more suitable (less boring) clothes for...

Okay--then I have to add this. Jim's pioneering work in muppeting was instrumental in bring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to life. (Didn't he work or consult directly on the first movies right before he died?) In the first TMNT movie, there is a moment when Rafael is being teased...

I remember where I was standing when I heard the news that Jim Henson had died. It was a devastating moment, and I cried at work. (Sammie Davis Jr. died the same day--a very bad day.) Later, while watching "The Muppet Christmas Carol," I was emotional, but enjoying it--until Kermit starting...

Actually, I've always assumed that Piggy has a history in Porksploitation films from the 70s. She's got the moves, the lingo, the whole "my hair looks great while I'm thrashing bad guys" routine.... Ruahnna

Jack of all trades, master of none I think sometimes people who are artistically inclined have trouble deciding on a single thing that they want to pursue. I have a friend who does beautiful mosaic work, but often laments the lack of time for drawing, or who writes beautiful poems on ther...

Best piece of writing advice I ever got My favorite writing professor (Dr. Bob) used to always say, "There is a difference between standing on a box and looking in a window and seeing something happen and having someone else stand on a box and look in a window and tell you what they see. If...

I've been excavating in my attic and found the Muppets 30 year anniversary specail and Miss Piggy's Hollywood. These I taped from the television, so the first maybe 1/2 minute of each of them is cut off. I also have a cassette recording (audio only) of the original John Denver and the Muppets...

I'm looking for a comprehensive list of all the songs used on TMS, both original and borrowed (with appropriate accreditation, no less!). Not just who wrote it, but who sang it (which person or character) and in what episodes. Am I too dumb to find it here on MC or is this something that...

Hate to sound like such a newbie, but can you tell me where I can write to our favorite Muppet performers? I would be very greateful. ruahnna@arilion.com
