Time to place yer bets! And by that, I mean time to predict who’s next. To make things easier, let’s predict the performer who played/plays a certain Muppet. For example, if you guess it’s Dave Goelz and the character turns out to be Gonzo, Beauregard, Chip, or Waldorf (the latter of whom...

4/7 of showcased Muppets have been confirmed. It won’t be long before we see some fan content of Sweetums pop up. I’m most looking forward to cartoonist Dave Alvarez’s portrayal - every week, he usually uploads a Muppet illustration a few hours after the reveal.

It’s a beautiful day (monster) Don’t let it get away (monster) I couldn’t pass up on this opportunity to make a reference to a U2 song.

Week #39 - He was first conceived as the Crown-Grabber. He made appearances in the early years of Sesame Street as well as The Muppet Show. He’s also fuzzy and blue, but it’s neither Grover, Herry, nor Cookie. Isn’t that BEAUTIFUL? Today is the DAY we celebrate a special kind of MONSTER.

Guess what! Your prediction for May 9th came true! We’ve got five characters originally performed by Jim Henson out of the way. That just leaves Waldorf, who I assume will be paired with Statler, Newsie the Newsman (that nickname Xerus coined back in 2005 really grew on me), and maaaybe Mahna...

You might be right about Kermit being featured on the 9th after all. This video just came up with him encouraging fans to dress up in green and celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Muppets. Click here to check it out.

What if they do Emily, Fozzie’s ma, for Mother’s Day weekend? If that’s the case, they’d probably move Kermit to the following week.

Coming in at #37, the 10th featured Jerry Nelson character: Dr. Julius Strangepork. Looks like the cast of Pigs in Space is 2/3 complete.

Let’s see what characters we have remaining. This list has characters who I believe with 100% certainty will each have their own week: Beauregard Big Mean Carl Bobo the Bear Uncle Deadly Fozzie Bear Gonzo Dr. Julius Strangepork Kermit the Frog Lips Marvin Suggs The Newsman (I saw his piece on...

Week #36 brings us an unexpected (and I truly mean unexpected) brass-playing character whose name was given to her by Rashida Jones: Dolores. I’m pretty sure when you see/hear the name, you think of that young Colombian lady with super hearing, but this is the Muppets we’re talking about. I’ve...

It was bound to happen someday. I just wonder if they’ll find a way to put MV3D on Disney+, along with other defunct 3D shows, including, but not limited to, Captain EO and It’s Tough To Be a Bug. As for the roller coaster, it’s about time Aerosmith got a successor with immortality. Imagine the...

Yep! We called it! The Steve Whitmire rabbit has been selected for Easter week. I always thought Bean had been downright downplayed ever since Steve left the Muppets team.

That’s highly probable. We shall see real soon.

A Jim Henson Muppet - that’s one heck of a prediction! I typically get an update on Instagram every Friday at 11 AM EST. Since Wayne and Wanda were featured in the same week, I’m thinking other pairs could also work (Statler and Waldorf, Andy and Randy). I’m also sure no Muppet celebration...

Assuming he’ll be featured in October, the Halloween month, I expect his week to be somewhere between Weeks 59 and 63.

Occasionally, there are also videos commemorating certain Muppets being picked - one of them has Miss Piggy being outraged at the notion of Polly Lobster being the character of the week on Valentine’s Day (acknowledging Muppet Treasure Island’s 29th anniversary, of course).

Joe from Legal has taken the spot for Week #34. We’re nearly halfway. Since July 4th falls on a Friday, it’s possible that Sam will be featured on Week #46. Just imagine who else might be picked besides the most well known characters (Fozzie, Gonzo, Scooter, etc.). If the female Koozebanian...

I noticed there isn’t a thread about this social media thing going on since August 23, 2024, where the Muppets are showcased one week at a time, so I thought I’d bring it up here. So far, we’ve got… Rowlf the Dog Lew Zealand Pops Skeeter (Muppet Babies) Koozebanian Mama Wayne and Wanda Mo...

Thanks for pointing that out. I updated the list just for that. I was more focused on the years than I was on the months.

After minutes and minutes of number crunching, I found that the total number of individuals in the picture is 513 (30 short of 543). Mickey Mouse and the characters who inhabit his world and appear in multiple shorts (Minnie Mouse, Pete as Tiny Tom in Officer Duck, Horace Horsecollar...
