And it definitely seems like EVERYONE our age, if they're in college or go to shows or like cool stuff...knows and loves Beaker and Swedish Chef. I argue Beaker is to the Muppets what Boba Fett is to Star Wars: a cult favorite. I guarantee, anyone on here wears a Beaker or Fraggle Rock shirt...

Shoot, you don't need to own one single item(ok, maybe thats a stretch) to be a fan. It's all in the heart and soul! Heck, Muppetdom is one of the only family/children beloved franchise that has a heart. I dont feel that magic with hardly any other property

Its interesting because when Fraggles appear outside of the Fraggle world...such as the 1993 appearance on good morning america, or Red Fraggle's recent appearances...the characters are portrayed as realy being from Fraggle Rock and thus not merely actors. Which would mean the camera that...

Sorry bro, but thats PRECISELY why friends and I go to medium to big sized anime cons several times a year. Mostly for the fun atmosphere, seeing all the costumes, all the nerdy/artsy/cosplayed girls, meeting cool people, the artist alley, finding cool Mario and Sonic stuff, the gaming, the...

Wow, that's the one character I've never heard anyone attempt to do/be able to do!(I do a pretty spot on same eagle, beauregard, pepe and dr honeydew tho!)

Thought maybe it'd be interesting to see the face behind the posts, and a general Traveling Matt curiosity of what the other silly creatures on here look like. Anyways, been on here 12 years(eesh, that sounds like awhile!) and thought it was time to show the kid behind the madness:coy: (Also...

I love hearing these stories! I believe it would be a sad world if JH's work wasn't inspiring or delighting somewhere on the planet Oh man, that is *too* cute! I can so picture that. Well I know when I have kids they'll be religiously raised on the Muppets/all things Henson. I've been...

Over the years I've heard people reference that this or that character had such and such happen to them on the Muppet show or in one of the movies. But then I seem to recall a few times when Muppet characters are interviewed on talk shows...well, they seem to make it clear that they are just...

Hehe, while even my overactive 6 year old mind at the time I saw this in theaters when it originally came out thought the EXACT same thing(especially the "how did everyone know their lines and have all the props and outfits?) I just wanted to address this: See, each film is a stand alone as...

They have 50 Late Night Liars exclusive sketches online here(non game show portions) http://www.youtube.com/user/PMZVideo Holy goodness, that has to truly be the most adult/blue and "edgy" stuff Henson has done since 1975's Land of Gorch on SNL And Im SO glad they are using the Joey...

My comparison was more toward recent fandom like the Firefly phenomenon. Also, didn't it seem like by 2003, fandom and love of Henson's Farscape was bigger than the Muppets? And hey, I remember and was a part of Star Wars fandom when it *was* more underground, particularly the 1989-1994 period...

Precisely:( Merchandise buying power wise at the mall or online, I think "Disneyana" and Disney fandom is bigger with females(particularly tween/college girls and middle aged moms) while Looney Tunes collecting seems more geared toward older adults like for dads(bugs bunny tie), business...

So Im curious, if Star Trek fans are called Trekkies, Firefly/Serenity fans are called Browncoats, LOTR fans are Ringers, Video Game fans are Gamers...what are Muppet fans called? Oh yeah, sadly I totally can see this. While often time the reaction is "whoah, where'd you get that Beaker...

Looks like the common theme is, suffice to say, slight embarrassment. And I admit, while I proudly display my influences and love of all things Muppety and Jim Henson on my online profiles/facebook/etc; in real life it's not exactly something I bring up or share with anyone I meet; even people I...

I think I first asked this 12 years ago on here(man Ive been here awhile), but it still amazes me how general Muppet fandom, or just all around fans of the Muppets seems quite underground. I mean, Henson's Farscape seems to have a bigger visible fanbase or at least did. Whereas there are...

Yep! Thats exactly what my friend Damon does, is professional star wars customs, complete with creating authentic(tho hyper stylized) card backing/blister packaging. photoshop printed onto comic book backing boards on each side then cut to fit the card size) I remember being very very...

I had never even heard of LCD Soundsystem til I came across the video for "North American Scum" on youtube and I immediately fell in love with the whole sound and theme. LCD seem to be one of the few newer acts Ive seen that have the fun irreverent spirit of new wave/post punkish sort of zany...

Ooh, what;s your take on these little 2 minute sketches? Where does it take place, and what transpires? Can't wait for it to hit youtube. And I so want a hot dog plush:)

Ha! That reminds me, I'm half jokingly thinking of putting a bonus track on my album Im finishing up(its kind of indie dance pop music with a hint of comedy) with a disco house electronica funky song called "LCD Soundsystem Sold Out My Room"(*is a HUGE LCD fan*) I wish my camera was better...

Oh thanks. I realize I need to get a proper camera. I used to do a lot of actual custom Muppet and cartoon character figures; either via modifying existing figures/figure parts with super sculpey and acrylic paints, or wholly from scratch with plasticine and or sculpey. My friend tho was showing...
