Okay - not so much a Muppet-y parody but more along the lines of a celebrity cameo...i have LONG awaited the day when Annie Lennox would show up on the street singing about the virtues of "Y" (to the tune of "Why" of course)! Not only would this completely top Melissa Etheridge's fabulous "Like...

Wow! Just wow! I think of all the various merchandise that's come out this decade - the comics, mangas, Street Gang, Palisades action figures etc this news has me most excited! This is exactly the type of thing i long hoped would one day surface but never thought it actually would! I totally...

Once the show settled from its initial experimental roots of throwing a bunch of characters at the wall and seeing what would stick, the show eventually had its "main four": Kermit/Piggy/Fozzie/Gonzo with a few Muppets vying for Main Muppet #5 - Scooter actually being the closest to this...

The book is a marvelous treasure trove of info but for a work touting itself as "the complete history" it really spends a way disproportionate amount of the formation - it doesn't even get to the airing of the show until well in the middle of the book (it's in my car as i type this but if i'm...

Actually that "gentle teaching" has existed in pupperty: Jim Henson. He passed his craft down by techniques very similar to what you described...there's enough stories out there about like how he would spend take after take with a new-to-the-Muppets Steve Whitmire on some scene when the...

Awesome job - really brings back a flood of memories - i totally adored the finger puppets way back when, especially just for the fact that they included The Salesman, that was one of my fave toys! As a budding puppeteer, the hand puppets were of course my number one couldn't-be-without toy...

Two things made me laugh today. Driving home from work i see a Pepsi billboard that just simply says "SODYPOP" with the Pepsi logo as the "O"'s - and sodypop happens to be one of my fave words for some weird reason - it always made me laugh when Yosemite Sam would say it plus my mother had...

The title says it all! Not only did the first issue of Farscape comics sell out, but it did so in only five days - Boom! Studios announced that it put its debut issue into a second printing. I'm really happy about the book's success as its well deserved - not only does the comic series...

No problem with it being a few days in the New Year; that's actually the PROPER way to do a "best of 2008"...so many people do their best of's before the year ends...not taking into account the possibility of something really amazing happening during the last week of December!

A Sid and FR crossover - what fun (i always speculated that Gabriella's pigtails were an internal homage to Red)

Didn't see this until it had passed but i quite like that idea! I've always had elements of both extro and intro (which i suppose is kind of natural for someone into the performing arts) but i relate far more strongly to the introvert side especially each passing year. And what nice planning...

I don't anticipate much negative comments - there's a marked difference between a collector selling something he originally purchased not thinking about having to sell it later on to pay bills/survive and someone who makes bootleg copies of a copyrighted franchise at a major profit in ways that...

I'll never forget the exact moment i became a convert over to Spongebob fandom...i caught piece of an episode where Squidward was having Spongebob and Patrick move him to different areas to relax (taking advantage of them thinkning he was dead and a ghost)...they pass in front of different types...

Rerecorded songs just for the sake of having them with the new performers just doesn't fly...not only would it be kind of pointless, could offend a lot of people, but it's not that marketable (how would they publicize it? "Hear the old songs by the new Muppeteers"...shattering the illusions of...

Link - one of the main supporting characters that has yet to really fully resurface after the losses of Henson/Hunt. Too classic a character to remain out of it for so long. Would love to see Thog rebuilt and used. Mahna Mahna - yes he did make some nifty comebacks between MuppetFest and...

I'm one of those rare breeds that do prefer having an actual album over a download (such fond memories of browsing through Tower Records before they closed)...but having said that, i can't say for certainty which was the last one i bought but i'm tending to think it was The Dave Stewart Songbook...

Since Friday is kind of an unusual release day for a book, i checked the bookstores yesterday figuring the 26th date was kind of a conservative date given how Christmas might mess up mail/deliveries - and sure enough i found it in the second bookstore i looked in. To answer a previous...

It's really a case-by-case scenario, and probably one with no concrete answer - depending on how long or significant one character's tenure was compared to the other...in the Zondra/Darcy case, each fan will probably consider which one it is in MFS depending on if they were more enamored (or...

This has long been a part of the Muppet mythos...when TMTM came out, there were a whole bunch of press interviews showcasing the wedding scene with Piggy saying that they were now married since it was a real minister playing the part (and it was a real minister playing the "real minister") and...

Am a little less than a week behind on new threads so sorry for the belated congrats, but what a nifty time for the baby to make his debut production - just in time for Christmas; the most Muppety time of the year. I read this thread just literally after finishing rewatching Farscape: The...
