    Frazzle

    Anyone remember Frazzle? I was just listening to Chris Cerf's Frazzle song on my ipod and just cracking up and realizing that he's not on the show anymore. I remember seeing a clip on the net of Grover and Frazzle talking and then Grover asked "Ooh that's terrible, what happened then?"...

    Classic Muppets vs Current Muppets

    I kind of had this thought on my mind for awhile but wasn't sure how to put it on the forum. So I'll just start off with this. I'm a fan that mostly likes the classic stuff from Jim's time as well as the early to mid 1990s. I thought Christmas Carol, Treasure Island and Muppets Tonight was...

    Might be getting a good job, but I have mix feelings about it

    I just found out less than an hour ago that I might be getting a $13 and hour job soon. Long story short there's this job coach I have who I find super irritating. He seems very nice at first smiling, laughing, energetic, what could go wrong with this guy right? It's the stuff he says that kind...

    Is CGI puppetry less expensive then the real thing?

    Don't get me wrong, I love puppetry and the real hand craft of the art. But in times of the economic and even Hollywood budgets, I'm sort of calculating a bunch of stuff in my head in terms of what would work today. From what I've heard, puppet TV shows are very hard to produce because they are...

    Jim's inspirations

    I sort of wanted to bring this up for awhile. One of the things that I find fascinating to people who inspire me is to learn about their inspirations. I'm not sure if Disney was one of Jim Henson's influences but I remember hearing that Pogo was one of his top influences in his work. Does anyone...

    Fears of disharmony, mistakes, misunderstandings etc

    Anyway I might have mentioned this before but I rarely used this part of the forum. But what I really enjoy about it is even though it's just us fans connecting to each other online, there's such warmth, caring and understanding and I sort of want to join in or be a part of it a little bit...

    Trying to get back into puppetry...

    I couldn't come up with a better thread name because there's more than one question on my mind and I would just hate to make a whole mess of threads and get in trouble with the forum some how (I don't think I ever have but I just love this forum so much and I'm a worry wart and just Joe...

    The Muppet Movie Crowd Scene

    Does anyone have an HQ picture of the crowd scene and a list of every Muppet that was in the finally? I know it's kind of far fetched and sounds easier said than done but I've recently heared that some rare Muppets where in there like The Land of Gorch Muppets and even the Emmit Otter Jugband...

    What happened to Bean Bunny?

    Last time I've seen Bean Bunny was at Muppet Fest but afterwords he disappeared. Perhaps it's due to Steve performing Kermit as his main character perhaps, I'm not sure. Even Rizzo is slowly not in the spotlight as much. He didn't have much of a speaking line which is very surprising, only one...

    Does Animal seem to be more tame now a days?

    What's so amazing about Animal is just how primitive he truly is. Frank said that his character is basically 2 Demention or 1 demention. Sex, Food, Drums and Pain or something like that. lol I was just watching this TV appearance, one of my all time favorites. I've had it on VHS years ago...

    Agents and Pitch Advice?

    I was wondering if anyone here knew or tried to get TV or movie pitches and scripts out to agencies? I've sent lots of quarry letters and getting no response and I write them in the formal format too. Just curious if anyone ever tried getting some original work out there, if any one succeed or...

    Muppets on Late Night, Blooper Reels and Wrap Tapes

    Me and some fellow forum members were chatting about some late night Muppet apperances http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/recycled-kermit.51893/page-2#post-905039 But since it was going a little off subject, I decided to create it's own discussion thread. Anyway I just love The Muppets...

    Muppet Rock Music questions

    I wasn't sure where to post this because this applies to both The Muppet Show and the late 70s and 80s Sesame Street eras. And I'm not sure how to ask this...but I'll try by first saying that one of the things that I've always loved about The Muppet besides the fast zanny surreal slapstick...

    CGI replacing puppets and cartoons :(

    For Example, Personally I'm quite angry about the new CGI Yoda that has been around not only the newer Star Wars movies but slowly replacing Empire and Jedi. Not only because I love Frank Oz' puppetry performance but it was Jim and the early Creature Shop and Wendy Froud that helped out George...

    Anyone into 90s toons and classic 40s cartoons?

    These are the kinds of cartoons I love the most. Me and my best friend are huge DVD collectors and we're trying to get a bunch of these if not on DVD, get them through tape trades. I'm starting to get back into Tiny Toons and Animatiacs, I realize as an adult just how funny they really were...

    The Muppet Show Season 1 Uncut only in Germany?

    I was reading on the regular wiki Muppet Show article (wikipedia, not Muppet Wiki) and it said that the German release of The Muppet Show Season 1 is uncut and includes the English audio option except for the opening theme. I never heard of that. Makes me want to buy it next month. "The only...

    Sam & Friends skits on Amazon mp3 and CD in print

    Hi, did anyone know that some of the songs used on Sam & Friends is on Amazon mp3, like Stan Freberg's Ci'bone, Yellow Roads of Texas, etc. Plus I've even heard Spike Jones' Posion to Posion is on there somewhere. I have some of the Stan Freberg stuff on my ipod. Does anyone know of any of...

    Jim's Friendships

    Just curious, did Jim Henson ever have a best friend or close friends before The Muppets or even outside the media industry? I remember hearing that Jim was sort of shy but when The Muppets grew, not only he developed a huge team of talented people but a lot of close friends with his...

    Pakistan Sesame ends due to some sort of fraud problem

    http://news.yahoo.com/us-ends-funding-pakistans-sesame-street-170912319--finance.html I just seen this when going to my email. I don't fully understand it but I guess the US funded about $20 Million to the Pakistan version of Sesame Street and someone hacked into some kind of phone line and...
