Well case in point, me and Luke had epic back and forth flame wars...
like Obi Wan and Annakin at the end of Revenge of the Sith bad.
I now look up to Luke as the heir to the Muppet Fandom throne, and one of the greatest minds I've come across online.
Who was in your freshman class?
Oh man, I can't even really remember who was there in 1998.
Anyone remember? I mean I remember the overall 1998-2001 period:
Phil, Cindy, Dave/Gorgan, Chillydown, Kevin/Fozzie, Warrick, Luke, Jogchem, Jackie, Emmy, Scott Scarecrow, Jamie, Travis, Smig...
I wish I had chosen the name "Cory"(my real name) when the forums switched over. "Beaker" sounds so presumptuous, even tho he's my favorite.
Oh wait, Chilly Down was one of the originals if I recall, whose still around.
So ya came on board in 2002 right? Yeah the Palisades era brought in a lot...
Thank you so much Melora for this great news. I myself have always appreciated seeing your posts in here.
I myself have been a huge Bear fan since 1997, and was sad when it slowly started to go away. To me it rightly became the official third franchise(since Fraggle Rock was no more...of...
Heading into my 9th year as a regular poster, I've been reading Muppet Central and posting for 8 years this week.
I just wanted to tahnk Phil again for creating something that has had such a profound effect on the direction of the Muppets, and for bringing us all together.
I remember for...
Oh yeah, a lot of the problems/situations today, from central/south America to the middle east are a direct result of US meddling.
Now you're right, the few tv stations in these countries most likely want some sort of "agenda" or propaganda in their versions of Sesame Street, which I doubt SS...
Well, let's just say while people speculated(falsely) about Bert and Ernie being gay...Scooter on the other hand...
Yeah, and the sad thing his death wasn't even covered in the mainstream news media, except for gay publications.
But yes, the Muppets and Jim Henson's creations are loved...
1. I think I am like a LOT of people, who have a VERY sour taste still from the JHC giving up what MADE THEM the JHC: The Muppets...and THEN having Disney decide to put em on hiatus as a franchise. Grrr.
But, if it makes the JHC company feel more freed up and happy, well then I guess there is...
The US is never going to get rid of the Taliban. Heck the US put em in there and the first place, and Pakistan gives them safe haven. This is a problem, because even right now as of 2006, many women and children are denied education in a lot of Afghanistan. Most the aide only goes to Kabul, so a...
Well there's The World According To Sesame Street that just came out, but that is pretty depressing.
Yeah the Muppet Mockumentary was spose to be in development, that fell through. As did the straight to video Bear in the Big Blue House movie.
Looks like the only Muppet film coming to the...
Real Muppet canon I believe is:
the backstage antics on the Muppet Shows(Muppet Show, Jim Henson Hour, Muppets Tonight)
Anytime ya see a Muppet do a tv interview
Muppets@WDW I believe is canon
I do not consider Gonzo to be "an alien". To me the movies are not canon.
However, the...
Just curious if anyone knows of any international Sesame Street figures, pvcs/figurines, etc? And if there is any site where you can buy them?(or at least has pictures of em) I'd LOVE to get ahold of figures of Sesame Strasse, Plaza Sésamo, etc.
I also remember this awesome Sony Wonder Japan...
You know, I have to hand it to Sesame Workshop. They got cajones the size of Texas. I saw the World According to Sesame Street, and they said they were developing Sesame Street in Afghanistan? I love how they aren't afraid to go into wartorn areas with constant chaos, and develop co productions...
So if they pull out a Frackle puppet, its not *actually* a Frackle. Ok.
Yeah, I'm sorry...I just do not consider the Muppets seperate from Fraggle Rock, non creature shop JHC or Sesame Street. I think very few if any Jim Henson/Muppet fans recognize the "Muppets" as only being Disney.
In...
Um, so Joe the Armadillo, who stole the show of the Kermit Swamp Years dvd...thats not him?
So if I used the Kermit replica in my own show, and called him "Gilbert", it wouldnt be Kermit?
As far as I can tell, a variety of the puppets used in PuppetUp are definately muppet characters...
I cant wait, but how can it be "uncensored" if its on TBS? Good to see they'll be using actual Muppet characters:

Looks like they are using ACTUAL Muppet characters too, woot!
Check it out, these are ALL Muppet characters
(the weasel from Statler and Waldorf In The Balcony, the koala from
Animal Jam, and Joe The Armidillo...one of my personal faves)
http://www.puppetup.com/photoaspen.html
Woot!
Yeah funny how whats left of the Jim Henson company is the only ones making Muppet related productions.
Why cant Muppet fans have the zeal of Firefly/Wheadon and Farscape affacianados? Tell Disney WE DEMAND you not simply sheleve the Muppets.
Disney needs to sell the Muppets to a much...
