    What songs would you have liked to see TMS do?

    Yes, but we must explore the possibility of this song as interepereted by Robin or Sweetums. Possibly even Gonzo and the 6 foot tall "swine lake" pig.

    Some help for Muppets Take Manhattan

    I can hear him now.... "Marriage is a very strange Outer Space ritual..."

    The secret of their success...

    I totally agree. It's mostly becuase Jim Henson was such a bold innovator with a creative mind and a sparkling personality that gave the Muppets their ability to entertain and tug on the heartstrings. Also, I already said this in another post: What I always loved about the Muppets was that...

    The new Muppet movie and TV series

    Of course in the Muppet Show, Fozzie still didn't get a rise out of whomever was operating the laugh track. Poor guy can't even get a recording to laugh at him. Like a Jim Belushi with fur. A laugh track is kind of needed with the Muppets, especially with all the corny jokes they put on the...

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    What I always loved about the Muppets was that each and every one of them, with few exceptions, were performers. To paraphrase a line sung by Clifford, they each had a job to do, and they did it for you. Everyone had a varying level of talent, from Piggy's world class acting to Lew Zealand's...

    The new Muppet movie and TV series

    Let's say Bunson now has a twin sister named Bunseen, who is a scientist with a crush on Dr. Phil, experiments on him and at times reduces him to flutters of "Meep, meep meep." Ok, that was a joke, but it'd be funny at least once.

    The new Muppet movie and TV series

    I'm gonna get bopped for saying this. I just re-watched "The great Muppet Caper" and Scooter seemed to have an extremely tiny role in that film. Perhaps Scooter had a big role in the Muppet Show, but his role in the Muppet movies only had him saying a few lines which were setups for the more...

    The new Muppet movie and TV series

    Every time the Simpsons break into song, I frown a little bit. The worst one was the episode where the parents and kids sang a modified version of "What's the matter with kids?" regarding the issue of city curfews. Even though the writing is very clever and fits the Simpsons' social commentative...

    What about musical numbers? If the Muppets do a sitcom, how will they fit them in?

    Kermit & Piggy: The Great Debate

    Bad Fozzie, no cream pie for you.

    The Muppets From Space debacle

    "Kermit's Swamp Years" is gonna be great. Getting back to muppet basics, putting together all of those stories Kermit ever told about his youth and putting it into a movie. Perhaps after this one is over they can look into the background of another Muppet star. Go back and do Gonzo's origin right.

    Bobo

    I played Muppet Racemania at the video store today and whoever did Rowlf in that game sounded dead on. I read from another fansite that Bill Baretta did that one too. I think we found the person who can do the bulk of Jim's performances.

    Bobo

    Bill Baretta's taking over some of the other Henson roles, isn't he?

    Bobo

    Who performs Bobo? I watched MFS on cape and it occured to me how much his deep gravely voice reminds me of a character like Rowlf or Dr. Teeth. Okay, it's not alike, but it's the same tone at least.

    The Muppet Hierarchy

    Actually, I think due to the last 3 movies, Gonzo should be pushed up quite a bit: Kermit Piggy Gonzo Fozzie Animal Rizzo Pepe Statler & Waldorf Swedish Chef

    Fraggle Rock on HBO or Disney?

    And both the animated and puppet versions were re-runed on Disney.

    The Muppets From Space debacle

    The thing about MFS was that they just re-introduced the Muppets with new characters with new relationships between characters during Muppets Tonight and they needed to make something that was an extention of that. THe problem is, compared to classic Muppet movies, the chemistry between Pepe and...
