That's a good idea, just send it out, you have nothing to lose. :) I don't think "You can't take no for an answer" is unrealistic per se. You just have to find out the effective way of looking for a job in the industry you desire and keep at it. It is amazing how Richard was able to call up...

Family Guy is always so clever and edgy. And it's amazing how much Muppet stuff it does.

I was lucky enough to borrow Of Muppets in Men yesterday from my internship at The Museum of TV and Radio. I'd thought I'd never get the chance to read it! It's great that the "indefatigable" Richard is featured so often (as the caption on page 33 describes him). I thought it was touching...

I saw that clip earlier today on youtube.com. It's a great historical tidbit, even then The Muppets were starting to be real celebrities.

I've gotten to see a lot of celebrities at Star Trek and Beatle conventions, though I've usually had bad luck talking to them! However, Ben Stein did come to my school recently and make a speech about starting out in the work force (among other things). He was very funny and he signed my...

Hehe, I noticed mistakes in the Time/Life interviews as well. But that's OK, it's not unusual for hardcore fans to remember these things better than the people actually involved. I noticed a problem with his intro to the Elton John episode. He says the episode is all about The Muppets...

Yes his personality change is definitely evident on The Muppet Show. He's so funny when he's hyper and showing off all his quirks It's unfortuante but sometimes I feel like the more recent Gonzo is a bit more confident and less weird than he used to be. Not that I think the character...

I remember that final episode, thanks that took me back. :)

I agree, I was surprised about the "wimpy" label too after seeing Sex and Violence. I think he kind of looks calm and small, I think that's where it started.

I totally agree. I've gone to two Muppet public screenings at The Museum of TV and Radio and it's always packed. And it's so obvious that most of the crowd is only there for Muppets (they leave as soon as the Muppet segments are over!) There are even some little kids. One girl was asking her...

I agree with that. They're trying their best at The Muppets right now and as I said, they still manage to occasionally have some of the old magic. That being said, I still make a distinction between the old and the new Muppets. The classic Muppets were something special that can never be...

I think Frank wanted to explore different things and keep challenging himself, and the Muppets gave him that opportunity. He could have just continued being a puppeteer where he was probably comfortable and definitely well known. But maybe after awhile he decided that was too safe. Sometimes...

I've been pretty cynical about the latest Muppet projects, but I finally forced myself to rent "It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas." I decided I shouldn't judge something before I've given it a chance. I figure this thread is a good place to post my thoughts. As expected, the humor was...

I like that the Season 1 DVD has extras like Sex and Violence, that's definitely a plus. And it's nice to have all the episodes together. On the other hand, I really don't like that certain scenes were cut. I'm not that upset that Timelife doesn't put out Season 1 episodes, they're not the...

Right, now they have nostaglic value. Which can be just as important as popularity.

Absolutely! I remember during the Muppet screenings at The Museum of TV and Radio, there was a little girl in the audience with her mother. When the mother asked if she wanted to leave, the girl responded, "No, I love The Muppets!" Sometimes the media likes to make broad sweeping statements in...

Not to sound pessimistic (heh), but I think the article perfectly described what was wrong with the Pizza Hut commercial.

I'm sorry you got such horrible news. You're in my prayers. Don't give up, try not to get too depressed. However long we have on this Earth, we all can make a difference in the world.

Wow, I didn't realize how much Disney had to do with the special. Nice that all these companies managed to get together for a good cause (probably doesn't happen often!)

I have no problem with death being mentioned on a kid's show, especially if it's trying to teach a moral lesson. We're way too careful with children nowadays, we don't want to expose them to anything scary or sad. I've heard Fraggle Rock referred to as a cute little kids show before...
