    Your Picks for Palisades Series 8

    Let's look at the facts: Series 8 (designations 9-01-03) MT TMS TMS MTM *there is NO army builder type pack-in for Series 8 ** there may be exclusive for S8. It's still being planned out. (9-20-03) ***BUT there is one comic-con exclusive planned as an MTI variant for around S8...

    Fraggle music crossover possibilities

    Listening to some songs from FR, I can see them being performed outside of the context of the show. "Is It True?" from "The Wizard of Fraggle Rock", could in the right setting be a religious song. Imagine a gospel choir singing it in church, or at a tent revival. Read the lyrics. It fits, I...

    Some extra info concerning Palisades Muppets Line

    Confused. Who is Bernice? Is that just a different chicken? How is Tux Gonzo different from the purple suit Gonzo? Is this a black tux then? How is it different from a simple repaint? New suit sculpt? New accessories? You said there's a pack-in for every series in '04, but this one...

    Koozebane Kermit Arrives: When and Where

    Can someone please tell me the UPC for Koozebane Kermit? I still haven't found it at the Ypsilanti, MI Target and having the UPC will help in having them look it up. Thanks. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Some extra info concerning Palisades Muppets Line

    I had a hunch I was forgetting somebody. Bobo is likely enough, maybe not very close to Fozzie. Phil Van Neuter is one I could see, even for Series 8. It seems regular versions of the figs can get held back, like Rowlf, Sam and Robin, whereas teams like Bunsen & Beaker and Statler & Waldorf...

    John Ritter and Johnny Cash die

    I'll give it a go. This version has MAJOR SPOILERS. If you want one without, leave another post and I'll try it without. Johnny Cash arrives to find Pops struggling with his radio. As the show begins, Kermit tells us that radio station WHOG is doing their broadcast from the theater, as...

    Some extra info concerning Palisades Muppets Line

    Something just occurred to me and because it's not an actual leak I don't think there's anything preventing me from spilling my guts here: So far, we've had Rizzo from MT (or rather the MT era), Pepe from MT is in S5, Clifford from MT is in S6, and Johnny Fiamma from MT is in S7. Yet we know...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Got the word from Ken- Statler comes with 2 tomatoes and the Avacado, Waldorf with one tomato (a duplicate of one of Statler's 2, the smiley one I think) and a carrot. Someone help me out here- do Link & Strangepork's waists move, and are Link's hands supposed to turn? And, of course, the...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    This first part is for Ken- the new pictures I've been seeing of the Swinetrek- can't remember if they were the final pics or not- have the regular starfield in the viewscreen. Can I take this to mean that the regular starfield default is in? Also, in the test pic on the Palisades website...

    Criminal background singers?

    Just took another look at the Muppet Show Fan Club newsletter, Volume 1, Number 1, and on page 3 was a small article on background singers. Apparently Lou Rawls' backup singers on "Groovy People", nameless in the show, were called The Sleeze Bros. Quoted in the article, "they have records...

    Worst TMS guest stars

    Animal03- I've already been working on a fan fiction outline for a Gordon Lightfoot episode (set in mid-Season Four) for a while now. I hope to have it up soon. Gotta finish my Red Skelton outline first and then hopefully Lightfoot will be next (and I may include an prominent appearance by one...

    Koozebane Kermit Arrives: When and Where

    Someone refresh my memory, Koozebane Kermit is going to have multiple shipments to Target, right? I got my Link and Strangepork at the Ypsilanti, Michigan Target last night but they were out of the Kermits or hadn't gotten them in yet. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    Some extra info concerning Palisades Muppets Line

    What about next year's two playsets? Obviously we won't be told what they are yet, but maybe Ken could tell us what sources they're being taken from, like he did for the next 2 series? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    When will series 7 be announced?

    Ken had said that series 7 would tentatively be announced in September, probably. Well, it's September. Is there any word on when the announcement will come? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

    When did Fragges get good?

    I agree with your points, Matleo. I was surprised when I received some early episodes how odd they were. The characters seemed different, at least some of them- in "Catch a Tail by the Tiger", Jerry wasn't playing Gobo very energetically. Gobo's voice was lower and he only sounded like the...

    Best TMS guest stars

    I'm the one who provided the taping dates for imdb.com. I got then from the Henson.com archivist, Karen Falk, who had made it a task for one of the summer interns. May 31 was the date I was given in the original list, May 31-June 2 were the dates I was given in the revised list. The show...

    Muppet Guest Stars Who Weren't

    dbarrie- working on fan fiction outlines for Alan Alda, Elliott Gould and Gene Wilder (long way from finishing, though). Fozzie Bear- working on Rodney Dangerfield outline (long way from finishing that, too). Other outlines in the works include the nearly complete Red Skelton outline- this...

    Worst TMS guest stars

    I'm curious, why Aznavour, Nabors and Sayer? I thought Aznavour fit in pretty well and sang well, even if his appearance wasn't especially distinguished or spectacular. Jim Nabors, while he can be grating, seemed to greatly enjoy the company of the Muppets. And Leo Sayer, while his spoken...
