    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    I don't know if there was supposed to be a different sequel, but I do think the reporter was either given faulty information or just made that up. Shortly after the movie came out, there was a big auction where they sold all the costumes, some of the props and all the vehicles, including the...

    Muppets on Ed Sullivan- Music question

    If it is Perry & Kingsley, I can probably figure it out, but I'd have to go back and watch the Ed Sullivan piece again and I haven't had time to do that. Maybe next week, after the holiday, I can get to it. :p

    New Monster On Ebay - No Name For Him!?

    I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but there was a Milton the Monster cartoon show in the 60's. Of course, maybe it's time for another one. After all, there are a few people in the world who have the same names. :p

    Anonymous Puppet

    I'm sorry to post one more of these links, but this one made me laugh out loud. Puppet Auction I promise, this is the last one of these I'll post! :p

    Wake Up with Kermit & Target

    It is not appropriate in any way, shape or form on a family forum about the MUPPETS!! And I hope the moderators will take it down.

    Big News For Me!

    Hey, Luke, that is fabulous news. I'm sure everything will turn out just right. If you want to trade surgery stories sometime, you can private message me! Earl

    Statler and Waldorf Puppets

    Actually, I think there is. You can own copyrighted material and even trade it. The problem here is that someone is making PROFIT off that material, and that crosses the line. If someone wanted to make a Muppet replica and give it to you for your private collection (meaning you don't use it...

    Once Upon Mattress

    I got to see it on Broadway a few years ago with Sarah Jessica Parker as Princess Winnifred. She was really great in the part, but I'm looking forward to this new version, too. :p

    Statler and Waldorf Puppets

    I've posted the last few links to the e-Bay auctions for the Muppet replicas. In case there is any doubt or confusion, I just want to make it clear that I don't know the guy, never met the guy, never e-mailed the guy or had any contact with him in any way. I just thought the listings were...

    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    Here's a funny story, posted on my close friend Mark Evanier's weblog. Muppet Movie Mishap I promise, it is completely on-topic! :p

    More and More Fake Muppets For Sale

    Yikes! The guy must be trying to cash in on Christmas. I'm sure these would make great presents... if you were rich enough to give them! Elmo The Count Beaker Personally, I'm holding out for Janice. :flirt: :p

    Baby looney toons to be released on DVD......Kinda

    Thanks, Kimp and Erine... I wrote a bunch of the Baby Looney Tunes episodes. (Although none of mine are on the DVD's... then again, there are only 4 shows out of 52 coming out.) :p

    Anybody heard of somebody named Bumper?

    Someone real? There's an actor named Bumper Robinson. He was on "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch", among a bunch of other credits. :p

    Henson Company Hires Jason Lust as Senior Vice President of Feature Films

    It's sad. They sold the townhouse. Jim's old office is gone. :cry: :p

    He told a lie and it grew! :p

    Elmo For Sale (NOT MINE... JUST REPORTING!)

    Elmo's back up. He's apparently made several of these, but the pictures always seem to be the same. Elmo Auction I think we've figured out by now that his reserve is $700. :p

    The Ultimate Muppet Box Set

    Commercial DVD's can hold up to 4 hours of material on a dual-layer disc. Any more than that and they would have to use too much compression on the video. :p

    Muppets & Disney @ 2005 Macy's Thanksgiving day Parade

    HA! That's funny! The Barney balloon DID pop this year! His whole left leg was ripped open and dangling deflated. They tried their best to hide it from the camera, but that's pretty tough to do in high definition. :p

    Muppets' Arm Rods

    The ones I saw were just an "L" shape with the short side of the "L" inserted into the wrist. I have a picture of Bert laying on the table with his arm rod pulling out and cotton batting coming out the hole in his hand. :p

    Two rods in one?

    I recently had a chance to watch Steve operating Kermit close up. The arm rods are as Bear Man described above (although I'm not sure they're actually joined together). But he also has a small cup on one rod that he puts his thumb into so that the rods don't slip. All he has to do is move his...
