Actually the Jim-died-of-AIDS rumor had existed pretty much since the time it happened before Richard passed away a couple years later. One of the tabloids (Globe i think) had a headline along the lines of "Did Jim Henson die of AIDS?" (Of course when you actually read the article it says he...

Wha-wha-WHA? Did i miss something? "Extended dvd"? Did we get a new release of VMX under the radar? MWOO & LTS were "extended" since they included scenes cut for time included within the main film. But as far as i know, all dvd releases of VMX has the same version that has always appeared...

I can excuse pretty much any mistakes from a little kid - hey, even a young girl who was either a huge Muppet fan and/or had a parent that was who had a chance to go up onstage on the Bonnie Hunt Show and see Oscar up close thought she was seeing Elmo (to which Oscar hilariously replied "I've...

For those who question Bill as Rowlf, i suggest the following: Get out your Muppet Show Season 1 box set, put disc 1 in the player, forward to You and I and George in the Juliet Prowse episode and listen with your eyes closed. You may be surprised at how Bill-like it sounds.

In my area the show aired opposite One Life to Live so since Wendy has a much better chance of airing the episode again as a repeat, i opted to tape OLTL. Nonetheless would love to get a copy from someone who did tape it - i did get the Bonnie Hunt ep taped and of course have lots of other...

Okay - so you know how when you go to a drug or department store, there's those seasonal plush figures that play music and sing and/or dance when you push a button? I never can resist checking them out as they're usually so wonderfully cheezy. Today i see a holiday one of Snoopy with Woodstock...

OMG - picking up on my last thread, i just got to the episode where FARSCAPE'S BEN BROWDER had a bit part as Alison's high school boyfriend she runs into while visiting her family. I remember hearing he had a dayplayer part on Melrose Place and even looked up what part he played but this is...

Part of the time it's ignorance, but other times it may just be a regional/accent thing - i'm sure i've heard Brian Henson pull a few "Ralph"'s himself!

YES! The edition that came with a poster is one of those Muppet Hard-to-Finds! Hold onto it!

True that - she did refer to her birthday as being in "Jaminary" after all! Seriously though, i think both Elmo and Zoe eventually got de-aged (made younger) than what each one started out as. (Of course we all know by now how Zoe's also physically "grown down"! Hey maybe in a few more...

Due to the current revival of Melrose Place i've been engaging in huge marathon rewatching of the original MP's via the box sets. SO many memories - of both the show AND talking about it live on the phone with my boyfriend at the time (watching on his end of the line) and my "Melrose buddies"...

Well, maybe not every home...i hear that Kermit's likeness is banned from appearing on any mail in the Waterville/Frogtown Hollow area...

Ooh - good one. Left that one out of my list. These are slightly annoying but i don't really get bothered by these (unless they pop up in an article by a "professional" writer)... Statler and Waldorf don't often refer to each other by name or get called by name as much by the other...

Disney has done a lot to redeem themselves. I think the last year or so has been a big year for them getting back on track. Make no mistake - in many ways Disney as a corporate entity is a notoriously ruthless shark (and they will never fully be "redeemed" or "cool" in my mind until they can...

There's quite a bit about Circle Square out there - that show seems to have been a bit more widely circulated (and being Canadian it aired on both American and Canadian stations). Like Hot Fudge, Puppet Tree most likely originated as a local show but was shown outside its original area (they...

Your list includes most of mine but i'd also add... --When someone calls Johnny Fiama "Guy Smiley" --Mixing up Grover and Elmo --Not as bad as "Fonzie" but when someone (especially if it's a professional writer) spells it "Fozzy" --Of course either of those are even worse when they...

Okay - so that really horrible attempt by a screenwriter who knew very little about Jim Henson to write a biographical screenplay about him made news again recently by hitting the number #1 spot on a list of must buzz-worthy unproduced screenplays of 2009 leadig people to ask all about it all...

It's been a few years since miniseries "Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars" wrapped up the loose ends of tv series but also left the door open for future stories and the debut of Boom! comics' Farscape lines of comics that furthered the sage where PK Wars left off. The comics also allowed new...

Two of my fave shows growing up had puppets and were pretty obscure... The first thankfully is slowly coming out of obscurity, The Hot Fudge Show. This started out as a local Detroit show that soon went into syndication. You could see a Henson influence (especially the band which seemed...

That works better though i'm still not seeing where it's a super-fab alternative - still pretty horribly slow and glitchy to me and i'm not seeing where it has any of the site's Easter eggs (like the Newsflashes and red button stuff etc.) It is convenient for viewing all the videos that are up...
