They did a FR reference in one of their earliest episodes, when Peter was trying to convince a representative of a historical society of all the various (faked) ways the house he bought could be considered a historical landmark including a reference to "where the Pilgrims landed on Fraggle Rock"

That's what made the Sam/Rowlf relationship so much fun...Rowlf was one of the few people that could earn Sam's Wing of Approval for being somewhat "normal" or "classy", but Rowlf could easily put one over on Sam and wouldn't bark at the opportunity to do so! Sam can generally...

Am a few weeks behind on threads, so am joining the discussion on this now, but here's my take. There can often be fine lines between ripoffs and homages/tributes. If one wanted to be ultra-technical, any use of the Muppet characters not authorized or done by Disney itself can be construed...

Yeah, it's after Halloween, but figured i'd weigh on this nonetheless... I'd say the original concept of Floyd was that the eyes were sunglasses. Then when it came time to rebuild the puppet for season two, they basically borrowed a page for the "Mahna Mahna" handbook, and gave him "blinking...

Well...read the review and unless i managed to somehow gloss over it, i notice there was no mention of the Red Fraggle short that we heard would be included...did it not make it onto this collection?

The limited options (not just in selection but also on placement of features etc) are all probably very deliberate decisions. Disney (who remember nixed the idea of professional replicas of the Muppets unless they were poser replicas and not puppet replicas) were no doubt very specific about...

Kind of a wild suggestion, but may be one of those "that's so crazy it just might work" dealies...ask around to the cakemakers/bakers...you might find someone who has access to small Sesame figures for childrens' cakes (i've seen stuff like this every now and then for birthday cakes in grocery...

I would love for there to be another official fan convention...but there would be two things that world really mar any future fests: (1) The first fest was before Muppets were sold to Disney so it was (rightly) a Muppets & Jim Henson Company Fan Event...incorporating not just the Classic...

You know, i hadn't even thought about this until now, but after the news of a rerelease of Christmas Toy on dvd, all i could think of is "Yeah, and it will probably get the excised-Kermit treatment that Emmet Otter got and without the nifty special features to make up for it" but given that this...

Sorry, never been there but enjoyed many a wing! ;)

I'm one of those rare creatures that have been on for that length - one of the originals/veterans. As for "dreams coming true", unfortunately ever since that bad time in 2002 when i lost my job and my home and about the same time (both for being gay), my life has been a mostly downward spiral...

I always thought the Cereal Girl Monster always looked a lot like Fozzie Bear in drag!

Given my setup, i don't have the ability to download/listen to these at home. I can only do so at library (and because many of the episodes are over an hour which is usually the most time i can get on a library computer that limits my ability to hear these more). The way my life is, i have...

Don't know how long it may take for Murray to show up in merchandise...yeah, he's featured quite a bit with regular segments "What's The Word on the Street" and "Murray Has a Little Lamb" but even then he just seems so...seperate as a character. For one thing, he really seems kind of lacking in...

You'll have to give us an update on what was played! I'm well aware of how awesome Rage is - being a Eurythmics/Annie Lennox/Dave Stewart fan and being in the tape trade community for their stuff, i know Rage is one of the decidedly few (if not ONLY) place that has aired the ultra-rare first...

Probably a stupid question, but thought i'd throw it out there in case it's something you hadn't considered yet...have you tried contacting anyone from Puppeteers of America HQ?

Had trumpet lessons when i in in my early pre-early teens...in between my older brother having a hand-me-down trumpet and how i loved to listen to Lips jam on it, i figured i'd take it up...but after awhile my heart really wasn't in it. So, instead i focused my energy on singing...i know that...

...oh btw, forgot to add... taking the GtB parallels a bit further, i imagine it would be highly likely that Drew Massey and Victor Yerrid would be involved which would be a nice kind of continuity since they were heavily involved with the network series adaptation of Greg the Bunny.

When i see the term "AM Monsters", i tend to think of that as describing some of the early Sesame Street monsters that were actually built around the Anything Muppet heads by adding fur and monster bits (look at the monsters in the What's My Part sketch from episode 131 on Old School 1 as a...

130 episodes (in their entirety) would definately be too much to ask for in a box set...BUT... given that recent seasons are only 26 episodes, perhaps if SW ever DID decide to release something comparable to season box sets, they could do box sets where they release 26 episodes at a...
