    Stephanie D'Abruzzo responds about Caroll Spinney

    This is true. Its why Kermit is hard to nail as it was close to Jim's voice, but Link Hogthrob (to me anyway) was nailed by Steve and Peter ( more so Peter).

    Halloween is just around the corner

    The world is not less safe than it was, we just have more knowledge of dangerous events than we once did. As long as you are aware of your surroundings and teach your kids common sense nothing bad is likely to happen when trick or treating.

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    I've worked retail for 10 years. The first 6 I spent working in a seasonal department and got really sick of Christmas. The last 4 I was in other departments besides seasonal, but still was heavily exposed to Christmas stuff. This year, unless I land a job (which hopefully I do) I'll be far...

    Nintendo makes the Switch!

    I hope it is real, but I don't think any leaks are real anymore. The only character I want to see in Smash is Geno as I was a HUGE Mario RPG fan.

    Little things we've noticed

    Everyone knows that the three little pigs are a different species of pig. They are ‎"Sus domificator". :D (and yes, I had to get a latin translation for this joke.)

    Mini-Fozzie Muppdate - Now Accepting Orders

    I don't know if the lack of interest is due to there not being an official selling store or if I just disappointed all of you by waiting years to finish an old project. I hope it's not the latter, but understand if it is. Either way, I have decided to open an Etsy store with this figure as...

    Video: Can You Picture That?

    Its nice to have this uploaded, but i do hope we get new stuff soon.

    Will any former Muppet performers return to the show for the 50th anniversary?

    Id like to see the former puppeteers do a scene with their former characters performed by their new performers. I think it would be kind of neat to see Fran talking to Praie Dawn for example.

    It's Official: Caroll Spinney retires from Sesame Street after nearly 50 years

    The pictures I saw are both heart warming and heart breaking. It's wonderful to see that so many people truly love this man, but it's so sad to see that he's in a wheel chair now. He had a fantastic life and I hope he has many years to come, but it's a reminder that sooner or later age will...

    The... -wait fer it-... "What made you laugh today?" Thread

    I love me some comically violent Muppets.

    When will The Muppet Show Seasons 4-5 and Muppets Tonight arrive on DVD?

    There just isn't the demand for it. It's not worth the cost. Plus, at this point we are so far removed from the previous releases. Maybe they will stream it on the new Disney service. They are throwing everything Star Wars onto there, maybe they will get the rights to stream all of the old...

    Muppets Tonight: What went wrong

    To me it seemed that they never got to finish a lot of the bits. I watched all of Muppets Tonight when it was new, even taped them to re-watch them (oh, the pre-YouTube mid 90's how I miss you). There are very few bits that were as memorable as say Pigs In Space or Vet's Hospital. A lot of...

    Mini-Fozzie Muppdate - Now Accepting Orders

    Hello all! A few of you have expressed interest in obtaining a copy of my mini-Fozzie figure in the past and on other forums. I have always said that I wouldn't accept any orders unless i was 100% complete. Well, having completed the first "test shot" last week (pictured here) as well as...

    For Sale: Palisades Dream Date Gonzo

    Hello all. Recently I returned after a long hiatus, full story in my old mini-muppet Fozzie thread (on sale soon!). Long story short, I had a job that took all of my time and mentally exhausted me and then got fired for making a mistake. Anyhoo, I realized that while I love my collection, I...

    "The Happytime Murders" premieres August 24, 2018

    Back when Ave Q was new a lot of people I knew went to see it even though they were not hardcore, or even casual, muppet fans. They thought the idea of puppets with adult problems was funny. The way people reacted to things was also a lot different. Twitter wasn't a thing. Facebook was barely...

    "The Happytime Murders" premieres August 24, 2018

    This is exactly why I don't get the arguments against Happy Time Murders being about adult puppet humor ruining childhoods. Maybe it's because it was the Henson Company? What's crazy to me is that Ave Q "ruins our childhood" much more than Happy Time Murders. It had puppet sex, fowl...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I always thought this is what Muppet's Tonight lacked. All of the stage segments seemed rushed, with the exception of Tales From the Vet which sometimes went too long. It felt like the actual show part of the show was an after thought.

    "The Happytime Murders" premieres August 24, 2018

    I saw the movie and thought it was alright, though woefully lacked background. I expected there to be a lot more focus on the origin of the Happy Time Gang. Brian said in an interview that something like 20 or 30 minutes were cut, most of which was story. I could definitely tell that the...

    Sesame Street Season 49 News and Rumors

    At the end of the day, 50 is just an arbitrary number that we put importance into. 48 years is still a huge achievement and I am glad he was able to help pick and train his replacements over a long period of time. His characters are in good hands. Honestly, I can hardly tell when Erick is...

    Palisades style Mini Muppet project update thread

    And here we have the finished product next to the Jim Henson figure from Palisades and the Rainbow Connection Robin and Kermit. Of course Fozzie's scale is smaller as he is meant to work with the mini muppet line. The figure represents Fozzie bombing on stage and is in scale with the Diamond...
