    Fan Art: The Muppet Show Cast

    You mean you like them in general, or are they the ones that you think I drew the best?

    Fan Art: The Muppet Show Cast

    I will, FrackleFan2012. Once my final exams are done next week, I'll definitely have some free time to crank out a good holiday-themed drawing for you and everyone else.

    New Members: Please Post and Introduce Yourself

    Hi there, ShakaRaka. I feel like I'm in the same boat as you because I am familiar with only Sesame Street and Muppet Show characters. I really don't know much about the Dark Crystal, or Emmet Otter's cast, or the Muppet Tonight characters. But I am learning a lot from being here on this...

    Muppet Show Song Ideas?

    A few ideas from each decade since the Muppet Show: "After the Love is Gone" by Earth, Wind and Fire: Floyd on vocals, Electric Mayhem on backup. "Thriller" by Michael Jackson: Scooter wearing the red jacket, surrounded by Muppet Monsters. Uncle Deadly does Vincent Price's "rap" at the end...

    Your Muppet mistakes

    I just found out that Jefferson Airplane DID NOT play the music on the Jazzy Spies cartoons from the early days of Sesame Street. I had always thought that, since vocalist Grace Slick was with JA at the time. I found a Muppet Wiki link stating the real names of the Jazzy Spies musicians...

    Speculation: The Ultimate SST Action Figure Lineup

    Got some more: Series 3: Grover with block tower, letter G, set of saloon doors (from Over, Under, Around, & Through), framed picture of his mother, teddy bear, and figure base Roosevelt Franklin with map of Africa, wooden pointer, apple, backpack, removable books (Reading, Math, and...

    Sesame Street "Surprise" Song

    Gee, a lot of these skits/characters/cartoons/films are so freaky/scary/trippy (Floating Face Counts to 10, Jazzy Spies, original Big Bird & Snuffleupagus designs, Beautiful Day Monster and B "BAAAAAHHHH!!!", this "Surprise" song, YoYo master guy, etc). Sometimes I wonder what Jim Henson and...

    Speculation: The Ultimate SST Action Figure Lineup

    Of course, Dr. Tooth. The point of this thread is to say which figures you'd like to have IF Palisades hadn't gone under and IF they actually went ahead with SS figure production. There's no need to say that no one will be making SS action figures at any point because that's a fact, and...

    Grover and Mr. Johnson

    The first Grover/Johnson sketch I ever saw was the one where Grover is the Singing and Dancing Waiter who keeps dropping Johnson's food every time he does his routine. It seems like in the early days, Johnson always did things that upset Grover (indecisiveness, being picky, etc.). While it may...

    New Members: Please Post and Introduce Yourself

    Hi Gurman. Nice to have you here. This original script sounds cool (Muppet Show? Muppets Tonight?), as does the cast. Do you mean a cast that is used to sculpt/mold new characters? If so, please post photos or explain more about these things. I am very interested in these things just like...

    Speculation: The Ultimate SST Action Figure Lineup

    Everyone has reached the following general consensus: it sucks that Palisades went out of business. But what if they had continued? What if Sesame Street figures and playsets WERE released? What if Muppets (and possibly the human cast members) were sculpted, packaged, and distributed to stores...

    You Know What I'd Like to See?

    I can think of a couple at the end of several skits on the Old School Sets: Old School Volume 1: at the end of the Waiter Grover skit in episode 406 (soup and spoons), there is a funny musical ending. OSV1: Bert and Ernie: Counting Sheep, Fire Engines, and Balloons OSV1: Ernie decorates the...

    Rare Behind the Scenes Film

    I'm not familiar with all the Emmet Otter characters that Jim, Richard, and Jerry were performing...can someone please name them for me? I think they are part of the Riverbottom Nightmare Band... Great to see that scene with Kermit and Fozzie from the classic Rita Moreno episode of MS, and that...

    Sesame Street "Surprise" Song

    Fuzzygobo & Xerus, do either of you remember if there were any other Muppets or cast members in the "Surprise" song? Did Oscar, Cookie Monster, Bert, Ernie, Count von Count, Luis, David, Susan, Linda, etc. appear? It would be awesome to see if Bert hit Ernie with a pie (sweet revenge for Bert)...

    Sesame Street to tackle divorce, for real this time

    In the early days, Snuffy did seem to be more of a melancholy character, and I think he might have been coming out of that phase when the divorce filmings began. As much as I dislike Abby, I think she is the perfect choice for this segment. Also, there's an article about that KIDS magazine on...

    Sesame Street "Surprise" Song

    I once saw a longer version of this Little Jerry song on YouTube...it had Oscar surprising Susan with a can filled with snakes, and a scene with Bert and the blue-nosed Herry, in addition to the party for Herbert Birdsfoot. I think that it has since been taken down from YT, but both songs...

    Sesame Street "Surprise" Song

    This sounds really interesting. It's not on Sesame Workshop's website, and not on Youtube. I'd love to see it, in all its crazy glory. And Xerus, you really have a great memory! Those details...god, they would NOT allow that kind of stuff today. Especially the scene with Maria in a devil...

    Muppet specials you wish would come out on DVD

    I'd like to see "The Muppets go to the Movies," "The Muppets Go Hollywood," "John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together," and "A Celebration of 30 Years" on DVD. As much as I would like to see "Of Muppets and Men," I don't think it will happen. However, there is comfort in knowing that...
