Well look at early Sesame Street. Right there in the first show 40 years ago this year, Gordon is engaging kids in a very adult, almost existential discussion with the WhatNots. And I just don't think many of these suburban soccer mom parents can comprehend what it must have been like to be a...

Oh I hear you about the focus, totally. However for years we saw a ton of good quality Sesame merchandise for the older/collector/underground market. Also, you are so right; there's such a rich gold mine of skits and animation from international Sesame productions. I HIGHLY applaud...

Well I guess that sounds better than what I was reading. I think they should have had Oscar explain that Rosita and Elmo's dad almost got killed fighting for Haliburton, Unocal, and Mobil corporation. The reason this doesn't sit right with me, is because Sesame Workshop now gets heavy...

Well I realize after posting that, that there has to be *some* sort of Muppetverse story arc. I do think Kermit really came from a swamp, even though he's an actor. I think the Fraggles came from Fraggle caves. Are they merely recreating their home lives in the Fraggle Rock show? With...

Well I didn't always think that. It's just, the more I thought about it...everytime Kermit, Piggy, Gonzo, Pepe, etc were interviewed they would say that what happened in the movies was just part of the script. Personally I don't think it takes away at all any part of the magic or message of...

Bro, I hate to say it but they don't care about the collectors or older fans. They've forsaken them. The ONLY Sesame merch you're ever going to be seeing is Fisher Price garbage for infants. I'm starting to realize just how important International Sesame is, and I wish there was a way...

Actually a lot of their money is coming from the US defense and military industrial complex sadly. I do not think Jim Henson would approve of how the US government military has been using Sesame Street songs in their torture programs in Iraq and Gitmo, nor how the RAND corporation and the...

Yeah, it's just too bad Sesame Workshop from what I hear has totally screwed Caroll, what was it? A 75% pay decrease. I've heard there's many other things which lead me to suspect corporate heads and *some* others at SW have a very disrespectful attitude toward Spinney. Since long before I...

Aww! Thanks for that. I also recall that right before Palisades got the Sesame license, another company(Fun 4 All?) showed prototypes of their Palisades-ish Sesame lineup.

True. But I have to say, of over 50 years of Muppet productions; Muppets Take Manhattan and the Muppet Movie remain my absolute favorite Muppet films. While Muppet Family Christmas and Muppets At Walt Disney World remain my two favorite specials. I guess there is a benchmark for me. Though then...

I guess I have a way different take on the "Muppetverse", heh. From what I can see, Kermit lived in a swamp and traveled to Washington DC for his first paid acting gig in 1955. And the rest is history...as the way I see it, every Muppet in the Muppet Show, pre Muppet Show specials and...

Thanks to the advent of google, muppets wiki, ebay, and our own Warrick...over the years I've remembered seeing some of the straight up rarest Muppet(and related franchises) figures/pvcs/etc to date. So here we go... Muppet Show Nigel PVC(1984)...

Redpiggy: Found a really nice animated still of Philo and Gunge: http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/8/8c/Philoandgungeanimated.jpg Their muppet wiki entrie says that Gunge cameos numerous times on Dinosaurs, as well as on the Jim Henson Hour and the UK Muppet show Mopatop...

They broke the 4th wall on Dinosaurs? I don't even remember! I really haven't seen the episodes since their original airing though. That's amazing about the Gunge cameos though. Um, do you remember specifically the references to Muppets/Sesame/Fraggle Rock?

Believe it or not, there has been a number of seriously cool, hidden and or no longer in operation Muppet sites a lot of you may have never seen. So thanks to the magic of archive.org, here they are! Pepe's Hidden Lounge(Long John Silvers)...

Oooh! Cool to see other fans of Muppet Babies and Fraggle animated on here! Im glad to have at least two Fraggle animated on dvd, from the original HIT dvd releases. I just want the 84-86 season of Muppet Babies so bad:)

Aw, but this brings up another interesting question...what happens, when the line between "creature shop/fantasy" and Muppets blurs? I say that because you look at the Jim Henson Hour, and a lot of the designs of the Muppet half hour definitely seem like a cross breed of creature shop and...

Well there really is no "set" canon. I don't believe it's official Gonzo is an "alien" outside of MFS. In fact when interviewed, the Muppets say they are just actors. So most of what you would see in a film or tv show is acting; and it is when you see them interviewed that is "real"(Piggy and...

I always wondered what people consider "Dinosaurs". Phil has them listed as under Muppet Worlds: http://www.muppetcentral.com/collectibles/muppetworlds/toys.shtml ...I always just assumed it was more "Creature Shop/Fantasy Worlds" category. Even though most the performers are Muppet...

It's all still here:) http://web.archive.org/web/20060721135148/http://www.kermitage.com/ I agree, before Muppet wiki came along that was quite a nice repository.
