    Anyone thinks Henson is a Wizard of Oz fan?

    Also interesting to note- did you happen to notice the books that Sarah has in her room in "Labyrinth"? Yes! One of them is "The Wizard of Oz" by Frank L. Baum!!! :)

    Grover and Kermit The Frog

    Oh yeah!!! I remember many of these moments! Kermit and Grover have always been a great team! I'd say they're right up there with the Ernie and Bert duo! :p :( Which figures, because there's a key ingredient in the Fozzie and Kermit relationship, the Bert and Ernie relationship, and the...

    15 years - Where were you?

    Sure you were, theprawncracker!!! You were still alive in the womb! :) For myself, I was 8 years old when Jim Henson died. I think I remember hearing about it on the news, but I don't know that I fully understood who he was at that point. I definitely miss him now though. (And Mr...

    Thoughts on Labyrinth

    Labyrinth the best movie of 1986? Well, it is an awesome movie and I do love it, but I think that honor would have to go to Ferris Bueller's Day Off!!! :) (Or Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home - that came out in 1986 too!) ;) (for real though, Labyrinth is still my favorite between that...

    Gerry Parkes appreciation thread!

    Well, in viewing IMDB.com's page on Gerard Parkes (also known as Gerry Parkes) I saw only 2 movies that I recognized that he's been in. He's been in a movie about George Frediech Handel, and I thought I'd throw that in. Anyway, he's also been in the great 1980s movie Short Circuit 2 (also...

    What would happen if ...?

    Well, this topic has been addressed before. The only real crossover characters on Sesame Street from The Muppet Show that I know of has been Gladys the cow, Rowlf the dog (in network pitch for Sesame Street and in #9 Falling Baker clip) and of course, Kermit the Frog, even though he was on...

    Any Plans for a NEW SS Movie?

    I don't know, but having recently finally made myself watch "Elmo in Grouchland", I have to admit that it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. It still isn't anywhere near as good as "Follow That Bird", but it's not bad. I think Oscar might have been a little more prominent in the movie...

    Follow That Bird: A look back

    Actually, I believe by the time the movie was made, Snuffy was visible (though I'm not positive. I'm pretty sure the movie was made in 1985 and I thought Snuffy became visible by 1985...) And to be fair, Elmo has been around on Sesame Street since at least the late 1980s. I think he's been...

    Great song for the Electric Mayhem to play

    Well, if they're going to play BTO, I'd probably like to hear either "Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" or "Taking Care of Business"!!! :-)

    Make a "Best of" list for all the characters!

    I remember another Kermit song, circa 1989. "Everyone Get Along". :)

    Make a "Best of" list for all the characters!

    Kermit the Frog! Here's an album I'd love to see released! Kermit the Frog (Sesame Street songs) 1.)Bayou Alphabet (this song ends with "which brings me back to Z and now my alphabet's complete in the swamp! Ribbit, Ribbit!") 2.)Alphabet Song with LadySmith Black Mambazo (there is a...

    Puppetry Menu

    Wow! That is a totally cool menu! :) And pretty timely too, since I have just recently been watching Labyrinth again! :D (Awesome movie! I really think I like this one even better than The Dark Crystal, and that was a pretty good one too.) Maybe we should get a Jen and Hoggle smiley...

    Does anyone actually like Animated Fraggle Rock?

    I've posted on this topic before and I'll say it again. Cartoons are good! :) Yes, I like both the Fraggle Rock live action series and the cartoon series! They were both awesome! I grew up watching both as a child and I enjoyed them both. I also enjoyed Muppet Babies, for that matter, as...

    Muppet Babies started a trend

    There actually were some Inspector Gadget cartoon spin-offs. Besides the 2 live action movies (and both were actually really good), there was also this 1996 series. http://imdb.com/title/tt0262963/ (Inspector Gadget's Field Trips - in which Inspector Gadget explored various regions of the...

    Guys and Dolls

    I remember seeing that song. But when I saw it, it starred Herry and Ruby! (This would be probably somewhere in the late 1980s!) :)
