    Who Built Lips?

    Seems a few more photos have shown up online, featuring Kermit, Miss Piggy, and others. It's interesting that they are allowed to post photos online but not announce what the project is. Considering we know Kirk Thatcher is directing, it makes me wonder, would a Muppets person be directing if...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    Craig Shemin has said that Disney doesn't archive acquired properties, so The Jim Henson Company Archives still has all pre-2004 physical Muppet items (I wonder if Disney archives Muppet stuff from after 2004, or if other archives keep the later Muppet stuff). I wonder if The Jim Henson Company...

    Questions about anything

    I didn't realize so many people here hated it. I thought it was one of those Christmas movies nearly everyone likes. I don't think it's even something that many people hate because of the popularity. There's this old commercial for Texaco with Jack Benny that has me confused by a few things...

    Questions about anything

    I don't know what movie you're referring to, but I feel like he's been in plenty of good movies. Elf, Step Brothers, Stranger Than Fiction, The Producers, Anchorman (though I'd call that good-ish), The Campaign... Though there was a period where he did so many movies at once that many were bound...

    Who Built Lips?

    I don't know whether it's possible. Not sure whether the people who posted the pictures would mind, but it's not up to me.

    Who Built Lips?

    There's a thread at Tough Pigs about an upcoming Electric Mayhem appearance, which may or may not be this. Kirk Thatcher and Tom Berson (I might be wrong on the spelling... I think he's the host of America's Funniest Home Videos) both posted pics on Twitter for a project with the band, which...

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    I keep thinking it's weird how in the Rowdy Roddy Piper Rock and Roll Wrestling All-Star preview special that they refer to Muppets, Babies and Monsters as a new show. So the hour-long block and one half was new, but Muppet Babies had been on the air for the previous year. Maybe it was easier to...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    The only official source I've seen where he's called Sgt. Floyd Pepper was The Muppet Show Book (and I think there are instances there where it's shortened to Sgt. Pepper instead of just Floyd), though I feel like I've seen at least one other official thing in recent years where the Sgt. part...

    The "You know what?" thread

    So part of the reason 2011's The Muppets got made was because Jason Segel wrote the script and starred in it. But as far as I can remember, this was announced before Forgetting Sarah Marshall was released in theaters. While How I Met Your Mother was a hit, I associate Forgetting Sarah Marshall...

    In the Bullwinkle's Corner segment "The Queen of Hearts", what is that thing that Bullwinkle hits Boris with?

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    I doubt they'd use Garrett Saunders for the flashback, since Sesame Workshop for so many years didn't even know his name. But Sesame Street Unpaved does mention that in this episode Gordon wore a wig. And it's said that it was their 14th wedding anniversary,and it was in the 14th season. That...

    Who Built Lips?

    I wonder if Lips is actually starring in this or if he's featured among other characters (like if it's actually starring The Electric Mayhem). Dave Goelz mentioned that Lips had a line in something the performers did in winter 2013 (which we assume was a deleted scene from Muppets Most Wanted...

    Who Built Lips?

    I wonder why they need to know who built the original puppet in order to use it. Do the puppet builders have to get paid every time a puppet they built gets used or something? And it's interesting that the original is going to be used, when a new one was built a few years ago. I wonder if Lips...

    Is there an overrated/underrated Muppet production?

    With Steve Martin, while his stand-up comedy shows were successful and he was one of the best SNL hosts, his film career was just starting. This movie came out the same year as The Jerk, which is often cited as his first movie (though I think Internet Movie Database lists TMM before The Jerk on...

    TV Tropes

    After looking at Cut Lex Luthor a Check, it seems like I misunderstood what the trope was about. I think I talked about it here before, as I didn't think the trope title exactly made sense, but previously I thought the trope was for villains who use inventions or other resources to become rich...

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt Signed On to Star in Fraggle Rock Movie

    When Steve Whitmire was interviewed for Tough Pigs back in 2008, he said that Disney surprisingly hadn't put the performers under contract, and that all Muppet performers under Disney, Henson, and Sesame Workshop are freelance performers. Not sure if it's changed since, but I doubt it. Years...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I don't see the lack of a "Play All" button annoying. When watching DVDs of TV shows or shorts I usually watch whichever ones I feel like, as opposed to watching everything in order. It sort of makes me wonder if it's such a big deal for DVDs of TV shows to have the episodes in order, since I'll...
