Yeah same here. I express a lot of my Muppet fandom in my art. I've always been strongly influenced in The Muppet Show and Classic Sesame for the very silly and wild irreverent humor (especially explosions lol) and I got into satire though Dinosaurs first and then through Spitting Image then...

Totally agree. I think most artist's parents are like that sometimes. I know my Dad is a lot like that. And my mother doesn't think explosions are funny. lol Speaking of Jim's family. If you ever hear stories about them, there's a bunch of great funny stories out there. Like I think at the...

Wow, Muppet Tattoos. Got me bet. I'm too afraid of getting tattoos. lol Any of you guys heard about the news years ago that there was actually a line of Muppet Underwear being sold at Hot Topic or some fashion store? I think it was made for adults because there was models wearing them, I...

I'm not sure if I can mention or discuss this on the forum but since this was mentioned in either a book or newspaper article, I think I will. Did anyone ever hear the story during the 1950s when Jim was doing Sam and Friends that his father told him that showbiz was a poor way to make a...

I wasn't sure where to post this, I'm not refering too the replicas but the actual photo Muppets that were used for promo pictures of The Muppets and Sesame Street. When did The Jim Henson Company start making photo Muppets...

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...

lol Really? What kind of things do you do to express your fandom :)

I always considered The Muppets to be sort of a cult following sort of thing. Back in the 70s they were HUGE mainstream, but as years went on. It became a cult following. A huge one in fact. I was so amazed how many people where there at MuppetFest back in 2001. I must have been the youngest...

I was going through my book shelf and found some books that I would like to sell or trade I have this book Muppet Babies Classic Children's Tales, Muppet Babies' Christmas Book and a Pepe book that's like an auto-biography words of wisdom sort of thing. I forgot what the title of it is, I'm...

I had some thoughts about The Muppet Movie this and last week and I wanted to talk on the forum about. I think in general as a lifetime Muppet fan and continuing, You know like lots of people here we grew up watching The Muppets some way or another and remember seeing the shows and movies. But...

Forgot to add one more Muppet fandom detail besides wanting to write a Muppet Movie script. And I truely think Muppet fans can totally relate to this one. lol I still have like 20 something huge bins of Muppet Membrobillia at my Dad's house a state away that I couldn't fit into my apartment and...

I figure I post this for the fun of it among other reasons. One is that I never really meet another Muppet fan in person and the only time I ever seen Muppet fans is when I went to MuppetFest back in 2001. And I can totally tell how crazy Muppet Fans can get. Even to the point of seeing people...

I've never seen the animated series, though I have seen the original Toxic Avenger. Troma rules. Some of the best b movies I've ever seen. lol I think Toxic Crusaders are on DVD released by the Troma company. It's amazing how popular Toxie because. But now, barely anyone knows what Troma is. lol...

I remember reading a simular forum. Not sure if this is the same one or not. But I don't mind talking about it again. Talking about Muppets is one of favorite things to do. lol I think what happened with Muppets From Space is Jerry Juhl wrote a script and Kirk Thatcher write a script. Kirk's was...

Yeah that's strange that the viewers got lower during the later episodes, because the show didn't even seem like it was wearing out. I totally agree with the razor sharp satirie then the heart filled philosophy. Kind of like how South Park...well used to do things with the "I've learned...

LOL I love how Dinosaurs satirized sexism, like the old boys network cracked me up. lol I watched Earl and Pearl last light to and Georgie Must Die (before I went to bed). One of the things on Earl and Pearl that I was a little confused with is how Roy and Pearl had crushes on each other and I...

Wow I didn't catch the headline gags. And I just watched Working Girl and Scent of the Reptile last night lol How ironic. lol

Dinosaurs was kind of like where The Simpsons were plus there was a bit of riff-raff between them, either it was The Simpsons like "Hey, you ripped us off, your gonna get it" or it was just silly satirical fun because Matt Groening did say in a commentary "Dinosaurs, I LOVE THIS SHOW!" For...

I forgot to mention that I did research on the writer who wrote my favorite Dinosaurs episodes, including my #1 fav episode "Network Genius", I forgot his name but he was a sitcom writer who wrote for Ellen which I was surprised he didn't do more satirical work. The writing was genius. I would...

Yeah, he's totally a scary character. Though I loved when he went on the happy leaf thinking he's Jimmy Hednrex and banging his head until the celing. lol Plus the voice of him is George Jefferson which makes it funnier. Amazing how The Jim Henson Company managed to get him. A Sitcom legend.
