You might be an obsessed Muppet fan if... Whenever you make a clumsy mistake you find yourself quoting Bunnie Bear's catchphrase from 'The Animal Show', "Oopsy Bearsky"

There are probably many more instances than we know about on TMS when one performer did another's character, either because that puppeteer was needed for another of their character's, or (as I think happened with Louise, particularly during Season 2 and Season 3, she has a brilliant singing...

I think one has to bear in mind that to the performers themselves it is "Work" and sometimes they might not actually remember how something was done months or years after the event. They aren't necessarily trying to "keep secrets", but they don't always remember the finer details that us fans...

In 'The Stage' last week there was an article about theatre stars backing the campaign to bring back talent agency licensing in Britain. The article (see: http://www.thestage.co.uk/news/newsstory.php/31022/theatre-stars-back-campaign-for-talent-agency ) mentions that Tim Piggott-Smith, Arnold...

Here's another favourite of mine. I guess it's not strictly a Muppet Quote, since it doesn't come from any of the Muppet TV productions. But.. A musical theatre star, performing in a cabaret act described auditioning for The Muppets as follows: “The frog asked me if I could do silly...

Well here are a few of my favourites: From Sesame Street Announcer: "Ladies and Gentlemen and Sardines. Miss Ethel Mermaid" also like Alphabet Al "Well that be cash or charge card M'am?" Charming: "Phil, you're mother sent this, she wants you to buy her milk on the way home" Philharmonic...

I was browsing the web not long ago, and came across a petition campaigning to get the BBC Scotland Tv comedy series 'Laugh...? I Nearly Paid My Licence Fee released on DVD. Since Creature Shop Actors John Sessions and Robbie Coltrane were both in it, as was Louise Gold, it seems like a good...

The bit in the documentary OM&M when the Muppeteers were attempting to record that gargling fish number, ... "Uh Oh she's drowning."

Well this morning I was listening to the wonderful Drury Lane cast album of the musical Oliver! including such delights as 'That's Your Funeral', and, 'Consider Yourself'.

It is now January 2011. Which means that it is exactly ten years ago this month that I started my own little contribution to the online world of Muppet-fandom, in the form of my website about the career of my favourite Muppeteer, Louise Gold. Yes it was back in January 2001 that I first put up...

The other day I received an email about the 2-Wheel Appeal's latest Charity Fundraiser. The person who forwarded the email about it, thought it worth mentioning that it is scheduled to have Spitting Image's Puppet-Mistress Louise Gold among their entertainers. They are also scheduled to have the...

I think it's important to bear in mind the way a lot of the original Muppet characters developed, often with a specific performer who both puppeteered and voiced it, with the character written in such a way as to be a sort of extension or his or her performer. Although this happened more with...

Well I'd definitely choose several moments from The Muppet Show, including the following: Robin singing Halfway Down The Stairs Robin in the Bernadette Peters episode, particularly where he is doing Just One Person with the Guest Star. Floyd singing While My Guitar Gentley Weeps. whoever...

I hope you don't mind me asking, but on what do you base your assertation that it "IS" Fran Brill? I've heard that claim before. I'm not saying it's necessarily true or not true, I would just like to know what reasons you have for saying it.

Given that Jerry Nelson and Louise Gold are one of the great Muppet Musical double acts, I thought it might be interesting to try and compile a list of their duets. I've divided this list into three catagories: 'duets', 'Sort Of duets' (ie numbers that aren't intentionally Jerry and Louise...

Recently, I went to see one of The Discovering Lost Musicals Charitable Trust's shows, Darling Of The Day. I've been to their things quite a number of times over the years, but in recent years I've kind of felt there was an element missing. So it's a quite thrill this time, after a gap of nine...

Do you sometimes find yourself listening to a song and thinking "Oh wouldn't it have been great if The Muppets could have done that one on TMS"? I sometimes find this happens, usually involving songs which were written, or became known about long after TMS's day. So I thought I'd start a thread...

It's a great idea. You'd need a pretty big theatre though, something on a par with the size of "The Lane", well perhaps a little smaller, but not much.

In the Leo Sayer episode they liked Annie Sue - I think it was when she was doing Carbon Paper.
