Carroll Spinney was recently on the show Christopher Closeup, a program aired on the Telecare cable channel here on Long Island, NY. Don't know much about the show except I turned it on a few minutes into the interview and basically it involved a priest interviewing Carroll about his work on...

Phil, Well it looks like Kermit won't be on this either. Just Gonzo which is cool but I agree would be nice to see Kermit and Paul duet. But Gonzo will be singing "I'm Going to Go Back There Someday" with Paul so that should be a nice treat as well!!! Melissa (who's both pro-Steve Whitmire...

More on Paul Williams DVD.. There's updated pics at Paul Williams' website with some great shots of him and Gonzo in the studio as well as pics of Paul and Dave Goelz (without Gonzo :)) Melissa

Hi, everyone, Wasnt' sure if this was mentioned here before but both Paul Williams and Melissa Manchester are doing a tour together and Rainbow Connection is part of the set list! Paul is also coming out with a DVD where supposedly Dave Goelz and Gonzo are on it singing "I'm Going To Go Back...

Well said, Buck! I think Jane was an invaluable help to Jim with the Muppets in the early years but I think as things got bigger and better she did the right thing and stayed in the background to raise her children yet stay supportive of her husband's work. I have a lot of admiration for her and...

To anyone who can help: As Phil stated in his review of the Muppets Magic DVD, the rock band skit has a song called "Rock It to Me" that the puppets are singing. Does anyone know who sings this?? I'm dying to find out since I thought this was such a great song and a...

Fozzie, I understand what you're saying to some degree. As a fan of John Ritter's who has watched this new show loyally since the beginning and is extremely saddened about his passing, I want to try and give the show a chance. I have mixed feelings about ABC's decision and I agree...

John Ritter will be missed by this fan.. Hi, everyone, I have been totally depressed all weekend because of John Ritter's death. My mother and I were huge fans of his. We had the opportunity to see him perform live in the Broadway play "The Dinner Party" a few years back and...

Jeffy, Yes, they have many Muppet things availabe for viewing only at the museum. They have a library department where you go in, look up what you want to watch on the computer database, and they'll direct you to a console in the viewing room where you'll be hooked up with a screen...

Congratulations! I saw Alan as secondary characters in two Broadway shows before he was on SS. I saw him as a dancer in My Favorite Year with Tim Curry, and in a revival of the King And I with Marie Osmond. I think he's extremely talented, and I'm glad that they handed over the ownership of...

You're welcome, Cathy. Enjoy the DVD when you get it. I also recently got Rocky Mountain but haven't watched it yet....believe it or not have never seen it!! !:eek: Melissa

Hi, Ho, Cathy! I ordered mine from Amazon.com Was very happy with how fast it shipped. You may want to try them. I actually haven't looked in any NY stores so I'm personally not aware of how available it is. I hope you manage to get a copy soon! It's worth every penny...

I thought the DVD was spectacular!! I just got it yesterday and watched it from beginning to end and was delighted with every minute of it. I can only hope in the future more early T.V. work of Jim's will surface on DVD somewhere. I thought the colors and picture quality was superb and I'm glad...

Well, I'd be happy to give a report when I go. It sounds like it's going to be great!! I hope others here can make it!

Hi, Everyone, I never post here but I do lurk and wanted to share a bit of info on an interesting upcoming event at the Museum of T.V. and Radio. They're having a seminar entitled the Unseen Work of Jim Henson. In person will be Jane Henson, Craig Shemin and others to be...

Hi, everyone, I just recently found out that Sesame Street had another Christmas special back in 1978 called "A Special Sesame Street Christmas" with lots of guest stars including Michael Jackson?! This sound so bizarre and I NEVER knew about it until today. Has anyone seen...

RE: Puppetry Menu I just want to say that I think all of the menus on the Muppet Central site are absolutely beautiful. I don't know much about html and web designing but however much time was put into these menus whether it was two hours or two weeks it's absolutely astounding. Great job James.:p

RE: Get Well Card for Jerry.. Melissa Yowhan...please forward him our good wishes and prayers!

Hi, I'm looking for "classic" Sesame episodes, particularly ones from the 80's that may have been running on Noggin over the past couple of years. I never got this channel and I would love to see some of the old shows again from when I was a kid. I unfortunately don't have a double VCR...

Well, I was there today. Unfortunately I didn't stay for the whole event as it started to torentially downpour shortly after the event officially started. :( I have to say though from what I could see of the windows (I'm SO going back to take pictures as I had no camera with me today and I found...
