    Contacting Muppeteers

    You could always stand outside Jim Henson Studios and call them by saying, "Har-oooooooooooooooooongah!" I don't know if that works, though. Those that have tried it still haven't been released yet.

    Sympathy for Fozzie

    I feel sympathy for Fozzie when he's being heckled by Statler and Waldorf, or when he tries desperately to be hip and show he's got rhythm. I feel little to no sympathy for him, however, when he picks his nose for a cheap laugh.

    Muppets in Advertising...?

    They did do Wilkin's coffee in their earliest years.

    Gorgon Heap Appearances on The Muppet Show

    I originally thought the monster's name was Gorgon Heath, like the former PM of Britain and candy bar. Maybe it was the way Vincent introduced him.

    Gorgon Heap Appearances on The Muppet Show

    In the Don Knotts episode, Gorgon is a chorus girl sharing a dressing room with the guest star, who is not pleased. Scooter: Didn't they tell you about her? Don Knotts: HER???? Gorgon Heap: (Very deep Jerry Nelson voice) What'sa matter sweety? You don't like chorus girls...

    "Eatings" on The Muppet Show

    Do we have to limit it to the Muppet show? Because on Ed Sullivan and related appearances, Kermit was eaten by a Gorgon Heap-esque looking monster in the original version of the skit in #28 Rich Little. Kermit was also eaten by a piano in an Ed Sullivan sketch, after he played music to...

    Frank Oz Linked To Powers Movie

    I was hoping it was going to be a new "Austin Powers" movie. Still you never know, I could see Frank Oz and Mike Myers working well together.

    Christopher Cerf

    If my understanding is correct, he is one of the creative minds responsible for BTL in the first place.

    Christopher Cerf

    The wild hair and the glasses are put on the Fat Blue AM to look like Christopher Cerf, well, rather exaggeratedly. This running gag was also used in the "Frazzle" song. One of the background monsters, a fur-covered Fat Blue with two teeth, has similar wild blonde hair and glasses. His voice is...

    How was C3PO operated?

    I see. Thank you. Anthony Daniels must be very, very thin to fit into that costume. So thin, in fact, it's why I thought C3PO was being operated while Daniels was off camera.

    How was C3PO operated?

    My friend thinks that in the Star Wars trilogy C3PO is operated with the actor inside the droid's suit, yet I was under the impression that C3P0 is being operated remotely off camera, while an actor wears wires or something, and when he moves the droid moves. Which one of us is right? Even if...

    Banjo's Place in US History Lauded

    It seems that the Muppets were a good place for banjos to be used, not only with Kermit in The Muppet Movie, but in things like the country bands, like in "Mississippi Mud".

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Not really Sesame, but I want to share this: The first episode of the Muppet Show I ever saw on CBS was with Rita Moreno. (Maybe that was the first one broadcast in the US, even if it wasn't the first in rotation?) After Kermit's intro song, Rita appeared in a dress without shoulder straps...

    vBulletin Forum Questions: How Do I?

    If the Muppets had they're own version of Cheers, ------- Splurge: Hey everybody. ALL: SPLURGE! Kermit (at bar): Hey, Splurge, what do you say to a glass of radish juice? Splurge: Not much, it doesn't last long enough when I'm around. ------------- Am I still a Junior Member?

    How do I get myself out of the status of "Junior Member" back to regular "Member"? By any chance is that due to how many posts I put up? -Splurge
