Kevin Clash often talks about how during the taping of the finale there's a part where a bunny was hopping up and down while everyone else was smoothly moving back and fourth, with Kevin wanting the performer to not be so wild, only to learn that it was Jim Henson performing that rabbit. That...

Today I saw this Sesame Street segment for the first time. I don't recall knowing about it before (I probably saw it mentioned and pictured on Muppet Wiki without thinking enough about it to remember), and it sure is a fun song. One thing that's interesting is how Bert and Grover both...

At first when I read the description, I wondered if it would be all-original footage, since the first few things mentioned were things I don't recall seeing, but then it mentioned a few guest appearances. One of them, with OK Go, doesn't have Elmo, so I guess this won't be an all-Elmo DVD. One...

I said I'd do it in a later post, and now it's a later post, so here is a list of what clips appear in the opening montage: Clips of groups of people entering a stage - the Muppets for "Look at Me" in The Muppets Take Manhattan, chorus lines of females and males in the first season Muppet Show...

(the camera pans around the area, as various characters chat) Beaker: Mee mee mee mee mee. Bunsen: That's right, Beaker, we have invented a device that can make the next 60 years pass by us faster. Animal: HUN-GRY! HUN-GRY! Floyd: Calm down, Animal! Zoot: Yeah! Floyd: You don't need fourths...

Walter: And now it's time to pay tribute to the star of the Muppets, Kermit the Frog! (everyone applauds) Kermit: Thank you, thank you... Walter: No, thank YOU Kermit. Fozzie: You have done so much for us. Scooter: If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be here today. Kermit: Actually we...

Walter: Welcome back to the special. And now, we look at some clips with the one, the only, Kermit the Fr... Kermit: Uh, Walter. Walter: Yes, Kermit? Kermit: I think it would be better to introduce clips with the others first. Walter: Well, whatever you say. Anyway, here is the best of the...

(A clip montage plays with an instrumental version of The Muppet Show theme playing, I'll list what clips appear here later). (After the clip montage, we see the Muppets gathered in a bar) Walter: Welcome everybody to the Muppets 60th anniversary. Tonight, we celebrate 60 years of the...

Recently, Gilbert Gilchrist uploaded a restored version of The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, and as I've been watching this restored version, I'm noticing a lot of things that I hadn't noticed before. You can watch the restored version here (and you can still watch older, unrestored...

I remembered that the fact inside Muppet Weird Stuff was about Camilla, but all these years I thought it was about both Gonzo and Camilla.

Lately, I've heard Lynard Skiner's "Gimme Three Steps" song, and am wondering if The Opposite Song is meant to be a parody of that song. The music sounds very similar, as does some of the melody. Heck, the singer even sounds similar to Little Chrissy. Muppet Wiki doesn't say anything about it...

Bill did get one lines as a grouch, saying "I'd love to, but I don't speak English." But I don't think the performers have to have actually been in these productions to dislike them. Somebody said Jerry Nelson didn't like Labyrinth (this is the first I've heard that), and Nelson didn't even...

Yeah, I was recently told that all of the Ed Sullivan segments that can be viewed at the Paley Center for Media (which includes this one) are presented in color, and judging by the Muppets Magic DVD, it seems like the company that owns The Ed Sullivan Show has master tapes of all the segments...

After seeing what Mini Mates generally look like, these look better than I was expecting. They sort of look similar to the Muppet Vinylmation toys (only without Mickey ears and a lot more articulation). I had been thinking that the whole Electric Mayhem should be included in the same wave, and...

They don't look bad. So does this mean that Bunsen and Beaker won't be part of series one after all? So Robin and Camilla are really just accessories, meaning that a couple of these are actually three packs. I thought those characters would be considered main figures.

Been thinking about how it would be great if one of the big Muppet fan sites interviewed David Borgelnict, author of Sesame Street Unpaved, back when that book was published. At the time, we didn't have Tough Pigs (and I think it took awhile before Tough Pigs started interviewing people involved...

Well in October there's going to be a DVD release entitled "Keep Christmas with You". When i first saw the title, I wondered if maybe it'd be a repackaging of multiple Christmas specials (like Warner Home Video's repackaging of multiple Peanuts specials or Rankin/Bass specials), but it's...

I recently saw the back cover for Fozzie's Muppet Scrapbook, and even though it's not in the video, one of the back cover images is of Otto the robot in drag. Fozzie doesn't even appear in the picture. Makes me wonder if that sketch was planned and taken out last minute. In fact, most of the...

Based on what...?

I'm pretty sure that only the Juliet Prowse one is there.
