Just curious how much money does puppeteers usually make?

I'm working on starting a puppet workshop to make puppet films within my company though I need to price things like how much does the average professional hand and rod / live hand puppet cost to build? How much do puppeteers and puppet builders usually get when working for a puppet workshop...

I was just curious how are Muppet Explosions done on The Muppet Show and the Muppets Tonight years. From what I remember, the explosions seem to be more like smoke or powery unlike The Muppet Show years where you can actually see flairs and some fire clouds in them from time to time so it must...

I just realized on how some Muppet fans called some of the characters like Mildred a humanoid which is very interesting so I shall too to better describe them. I noticed during the early days of The Muppets, whatnots had a very simple design and even the anything Muppets for Sesame Street had...

I had this question on my mind this morning. You know through out history when Muppeteers and Muppets would travel to appear on television somewhere when it was Jim Henson and Kermit or Kevin Clash and Elmo, or even most of them at MuppetFest. When a Muppeteer travels, do they travel with The...

I was wondering if there's anyone who's into radio comedy? For example: Bob Rivers, Cheech and Chong, The Goons, Weird Al, Dr. Demento, etc? I've always enjoyed the artform since I was a kid listening to Imus in the Morning, yeah I know kind of surprising. lol I grew up more with a lot of adult...

I'm just curious because both seem to have The Muppets in it, and even the show Moppatop Shop from the UK had a lot of The Muppets from The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, and the Jim Henson Hour. Since Disney owns The Muppets and The Jim Henson Company still has a few of Jim's work left like the...

I just got digital cable and a DVR for the first time not long ago and noticed that I have the Hub channel. I wanted to DVR some Henson shows on there like Fraggle Rock and any other ones but I couldn't find it on the search so I was just curious.

I LOVE HARLS! I'm a huge fan, in fact I'm a huge fan of wacky off the wall characters with a free spirited heart. Bugs Bunny, Groucho and Harpo Marx, SanDeE* of LA STORY, Haruko of FLCL, Tank Girl and Woody Woodpecker. I got into Batman the Animated Series just mainly because of Harley. My best...

I am, I love British Comedy. Spitting Image, The Goons, Not The Nine O Clock News, 2DTV, a little bit of Benny Hill and Monty Python's Flying Circus and The Movies. I was just watching the Monty Python's Almost The Truth Lawyer's Cut on TV and taped it with my DVR (plus I own the DVD set...

I have a question about puppet material in general. Say if I wanted to make a puppet and sell it or puppets for a profit film, I don't need to contact the material companies to ask permission to use the material to create a puppet right? As long as the material doesn't have a pattern on it, it...

Jim Henson Academy of Achievement I think it's called, it's under podcasts. I downloaded last night I think and I decided to listen to it well I got to finish listening to it. First I heard applause then Jim's voice and my broke a giant smile on my face. WOW, what a rare find. Before I listen to...

I'm just curious in terms of how Jim got his agent Bernie Brillstine because now a days it's so hard to get an agent in the industry because you would need a referral, union, all this formal mombo-jumbo. So I'm just curious if someone meet Jim and referred him to Bernie? I don't remember reading...

I'm not sure if this has been discussed or not, I don't remember reading much about it but I seriously want to know if it's okay with the forum. Why isn't The Jim Henson Company involved with The Muppets anymore? And why Puppet Heap instead of The Muppet Workshop. All I've heard about this and...

I just got this question back in my mind again. I wanted to ask this for a long time here. In the movie "Life and Death of Peter Sellers" if anyone seen this or read or heard of his biographies, it seems like Peter Sellers by the 60s and 70s wasn't happy doing comedy anymore but he forced...

I remember long ago as a kid, there was these play clothes made of plastic or fabric, I can't remember to clearly, They were the Ernie and Bert shirts with a logo with Ernie and Bert looking out, almost like a printed badge. Anyone remember these? What company made them?

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/arts/books/non-fiction/article3608824.ece Does anyone know where I can find the full article, The Times wants people to subscribe to read an online article. Never heard of such a thing.

I just found this and I wanted to share this with everyone. RARE FOOTAGE, Most of it is the Muppet crew getting ready for Emmit Otter's Jugband Christmas. Anyone know who officially owns this footage?

I've always been a huge fan of Ernie and Bert. Just curious if anyone had any favorite sketches. Here's a couple of my all time favorites

I was wondering how many Alphabet Chat sketches were there? Those always cracked me up. Jerry Nelson performs this host in this mansion study next to a fireplace and a comfy chair about to talk about a letter and through out a whole bunch of Muppets that are unrelated to the letter come an...
