    Ten Years of The Moppet Family

    Ah yes, good ol' MopFam: the first in a short line of original MC comedies. They don't make 'em like they used to. Wonder whatever happen to some of the castmembers? Christy? Dan, Dan, the Strawberry Man? Where's TMZ to do one of those 'Memba Them? things of the cast? If only E! TRUE...

    I don't know, but let me go find out for you. *Twenty minutes later, D'Snowth is rushed to the hospital, where he pronounced D.O.A.: dumb on arrival*

    Timepiece

    Jim was really ahead of his time in a lot of ways: as soon as any advances were made in any field of production technology, he was already playing around with it and seeing how he could incorporate it into his work, even up till his death; when you think about it, he was pretty much pioneering a...

    Timepiece

    I may lean a little more towards TIME PIECE: it's a lot more visually interesting, and being shot on film, it retains a cleaner, crisper, richer look than THE CUBE, since video tape was still primitive back then. That, and THE CUBE - as I reviewed on Scarblog sometime back - really makes you...

    Timepiece

    They only have a couple of brief excerpts, but not the full film. Likewise, JHC has only posted excerpts from THE CUBE as well, though the full video keeps popping up from different people from time to time; there's a really poor/fuzzy copy up right now, then there's a clearer posting that has...

    Timepiece

    I finally found a full video of TIME PIECE to watch online: http://vdownload.eu/watch/3191686-jim-henson-time-piece-1965.html Takes a moment for the video to start, but it's really an interesting and amusing film throughout.

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    Honestly, I'm finally starting to get tired of the daily error messages and other notifications I get from my browser all the time: "Internet explorer has stopped working," (which I'm sure is mainly due to the fact that I'm technically using an outdated version - 10), "Speed up your browser by...

    Questions about anything

    Why is it whenever an entertainer dies, their obituaries name them as the "star" of certain series when they only did guest appearances? For example, this Taylor Negron chap has passed away - he apparently had a guest appearance in one of the worst episodes of SEINFELD ever, yet all online...

    TV Tropes

    I recently stumbled onto the page for The Pete Best, and realized that I've actually seen that happen quite a bit, such as another actor playing Father Mulcahy in M*A*S*H's pilot episode.

    The "You know what?" thread

    After watching some of the movie version of THE ODD COUPLE, I can say that Walter Matthau is actually a pretty good Oscar, however, to me, Jack Lemmon just really lacks the neurotic glee of Tony Randall as Felix.

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    The radio's been playing Alanis Morrissett's "Ironic" a lot lately. That always felt more like a summer song to me.

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    Not YT, but Google nonetheless, and very annoying: Whenever you do an image search and click on an image, yeah, the info box still opens, but you're automatically sent back to the top of the page, prompting you to scroll all the way back down to the image you opened.

    Puppet mouth shape question

    I've done this before, but it's a little difficult to explain in words... basically, whenever I fabricate a puppet, I don't pattern the fabric before hand, I pin the fabric to the foam head, and cut the pattern from there. Whenever I attach the fabric to the mouthplates, I tend to tug on the...

    Questions about anything

    So, George Zimmerman's been arrested... again... which begs the question, why don't they just lock him up and keep him there? Oh yeah... because it's Florida, where, just like California, you can get away with everything.

    The Best/Worst Song Covers Thread

    I wasn't aware until recently that "You're No Good" by Linda Ronstadt was actually a cover... so, I have to say, after hearing the original for the first time, I have to go with Ronstadt's version, no question.

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    Rereading a few passages from the book, it's still interesting to look at how Jim wasn't necessarily much of a storyteller. Not that there weren't any stories to tell, but that in a majority of his work, it was always playing with and experimenting with the newest technology that was available...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    Yep, it's in the book: because so much of his time was devoted over in England with TMS, and eventually the Creature Shop and such, Jim (as well as Frank, Jerry, and Richard) devoted one week a year to tape new inserts for SST. During his negociations with Disney, because he was very grateful...

    The only think that bothers me about the main page is there's no longer a button for things like YKTTW and such.
