    I've loved Homestar for a while now, and Strong Bad's E-Mails are possibly the funniest things on the net I've seen in a while.

    Avenue Q on Broadway

    Well, it's much more sophisticated than Crank Yankers, which is a decent show at times, but very much teenage humor (I'm such a hypocrit, being a teen and all, lol). I agree that the Internet is For Porn song is a little over the edge, but the material in the song is good, so it's cool. :cool:

    This is why we love you, Secret Squirrel. BTW, I was asking on Tough Pigs; Do you know how Bert's eyebrow is capable of moving? is it a string, or something more complicated?

    Avenue Q on Broadway

    Yeah, I love that it's sophisticated adult humor, dealing with adult issues, but not in a very grotesque manner.

    Is Bert evil?

    Uuuuuhhh...right.. :confused:

    Ok, how did they make

    Looks like 2 performers worked on it, one on the hands, one on the head and stomach. There was probably hoop inside the puppet, which could be turned with the puppeteer's left hand, while the right hand worked the head.

    Is Bert evil?

    Uh, No...why is this in the puppetry section?

    Your Thoughts: Play With Me Sesame Season 2

    They put more foam in Prarie's head, so it looks a little blown up. Freaky.

    How to make an old man out of foam

    1 inch may be a bit too thick for your first puppet. I'd go even slimmer for your first one, 1/2 inch foam works great.I can try to set up a pattern for the head for you. Email me at ryan200012@netscape.net if you are interested.

    Muppet Magic DVD

    Right, it's kind of a mistake by Henson's and Sullivan's people as far as sales will go. But I guess it's one of those rare incidences where they are just tryin' to please the fans :)

    When you say 'Advertising' do you mean the actual ads (Mastercard, Denny's UPS, Etc?) or their screentime in shows/films? If you mean the commercials, it only makes sense to use the popular characters. You can't exactly have the lesser known characters promote credit cards and breakfast...

    Muppet Magic DVD

    Nope, no extra features, but as Guillermo said, "Who cares?" We've been dying for one of these discs forever, so, beggars can't be choosers.

    Who's the Lead Vocal on "I'm My Own Grandpaw?"

    Actually, he only provided the voice for almost all of the Muppets. He performed a few in At the Dance, but other than that, he provided the voice only. I'm not sure if he perofrmed the Carrot, but I highly doubt it. Jerry Nelson posted a while back saying he wasn't really a puppeteer, so he...

    New Muppet Show!!!

    We have no current info on the show, but a press release has been made whcih can be found at www.toughpigs.com. We have no info yet, so "PLEEAZZE" don't make it sound like you do with the title ("New Muppet Show!!") It's been happening a lot here and getting a little annoying.

    Who's the Lead Vocal on "I'm My Own Grandpaw?"

    That's Peter Friedman. Jim worked the puppet.

    Muppet Show Openings?

    As well as my own website. Go to lists, then the 1976 openings category. (This was the original list, hee hee :D ) I loved the old openings, personally. Especially the guest star clip (usually at the talk spot) But I will admit the puppetry on the dancing girls and guys was pretty awful. Looks...

    Muppet Show Openings?

    Basically becuase Jim just never liked it. Also, all of the Muppets' looks had been updated. That's what I remember hearing.
