    Muppet Show Season 1 Guide Discussions

    Information on airing dates was provided courtesy of henson.com - since they've neglected to include UK airing dates, they obviously aren't in ours. I'd be interested in such info as well. Juliet Prowse is #1 in the various sources you've seen simply because that's the production number...

    Guess Who's Back?

    dude In the 70's and 80's it was more commonplace for networks to air the pilots they had commissioned, typically as specials. After all, since the money had been spent on them anyway, why not get some return on their investments? ABC aired the pilots. That did not guarentee that they would...

    Checking in (GRACIOUS! What a month!)

    I'm now accessing this forum for the first time in over a week since my internet access has been limited. You may recall a few weeks ago i was essentially fired from my job for being gay. Now last weekend, i was evicted from my family's house since my homophobic right-wing gun/beer nut...

    Puppetry

    CLose enough...not a creator but he did Snuffy for a time after Jerry Nelson (the original performer) retired from the role due to back strain.

    Beautiful Day!?!?!? Come again?

    Warrick ...well if i had a pic of BD Monster flattened, i'd be happy to do so!:D

    The Score Released to video and DVD

    Drtooth ...but now that you've told us, it's no longer a secret so you've now won half the battle... Now just work on the shame part, and you'll either have a DVD Player, or at least a free toaster or a newfound sense of enlightenment.

    Beautiful Day!?!?!? Come again?

    http://henson.com/fun/fcreature/beautiful_fcreature.html Wonder no more! Probably a familiar face once you see it! By the way, is it just me or does anyone else get a mental picture in their head of BD Monster on stage with Bono when they hear U2's "Beautiful Day"? (I also do this when...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Mahna Mahna Like Kermit & Rowlf, Mahna Mahna was in exsistence before Sesame Street (and by extension The Muppet Show) - while the character has appeared in both series, i'd definately classify him as a Muppet Show character. Aside from songs on records, there's never been any promotional...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    well...if you really would like to see a biker Piggy and the issue is that the current line is just concentrating on the series proper, one of the show's most popular opening numbers was Miss Piggy and the pigs in their motorcycle gear singing "I Get Around" (Anne Murray episode). This shows up...

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    I meant the 80's. Yes, whenever there were classic Muppet stuff, it was generally pretty intelligent and well written - but they became few and far between. Yes, there was the last season of The Muppet Show, two Muppet Movies in the first part of the decade, but essentially what had happened...

    The new Muppet movie and TV series

    I don't think Piggy was really that affectionate toward them.... Muppet Classic Theatre: This was more of a "play" before it established A&R were Piggy's nephews. But even within the context of this show, she seemed so much above them - wondering if they could even possibly be related...

    I just got a COOL job!

    Okay! I hereby nominate "PopoverFroggy" as having the Coolest Name on the Forum! Now all you need is an avatar of the always enchanting (literally and figuratively) Taminella and you'll be the official flavor of the day!

    It was done for Radio AAHS (it took me awhile to remember the name, otherwise i would have posted yesterday!)...and done by the puppeteers.

    The new Muppet movie and TV series

    Andy & Randy ...are definately the "Elmo" of the Classic Muppet world...when used sparingly they're really quite funny characters - they're terrific foils for Sam and the Hardy Pigs boy sketch w/ Heather Locklear was classic! But when the main focus is on them like in the John Goodman episode...

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    Jamie Aw come on now...how can you say Fozzie's a "right-hand" bear when we all know it's Bear LEFT (right frog)!:D ...and actually even though i felt the 80's was a horrible time for Classic Muppet fans because up until JHH there had been too much emphasis on the kiddie stuff when the...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Well, as they say good things come to those who wait and no doubt the stage playset will be worth it. The updated revised schedule does look exciting and very well done though so altogether - no complaints! Even if this wasn't a workaround fix, this lineup would have been just as good as an...

    Fraggle Rock DVD Petition

    Is it that unthinkable that someone with the last name "Lennon" wouldn't be able to withstand the temptation of naming their child John?:D ...and Fraggles are best baked with halls in the candle of the brain.

    Fraggle Projects

    If you want to include radio, there were storybook readings done for kids' radio in the mid 90's.

    Never Smile at a Crocodile--HELP

    You're not crazy...or at least not wrong about hearing this done by the Muppets That was done in the Sandy Duncan episode of The Muppet Show by Mary Louise (little girl Muppet that's kind of a Muppet Show version of Prairie Dawn) riding on the back of a crocodile through a swampful of frogs.
