    The Muppets New Theater

    I don't really know much about James Bond, so I'm not the right person to ask. But I will mention that the video game Spy Muppets is basically a Muppet parody of James Bond, with the villains being Gonzo as Dr. Nose (Baby Gonzo also took on that role in an episode of Muppet Babies), Miss Piggy...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    I know that there's a season 14 or 15 episode that featured Roosevelt Franklin's Alphabet (or was it Roosevelt Franklin's Days of the Week?). These posts of audio recordings of episodes reminds me that Steve Whitmire said in his Muppet Central interview that when he was younger he would record...

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

    The Fraggles did befriend a silly creature. They befriended Doc in the last two episodes. Though years ago it was said that the Fraggle movie would "stand next to" the series as opposed to directly following the events, so I'm sure the Fraggles will continue to fear the Gorgs, Doc won't know...

    The Muppets New Theater

    Chapter 9 Everyone was running around, screaming, as the theater was falling apart. "It's a shaky start", said Waldorf. Then the theater box fell off the wall. Walter then ran in, in spite of everyone running around and the theater falling apart. "I tried to warn you!", said...

    Questions about anything

    Recently I read that 20th Century Fox only has the distribution rights to the Star Wars sequels and prequels (but not the first) until 2020, after which the rights will revert back to Lucasfilm (and therefore Disney), which was part of the original deal with those movies (though it's odd that...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Or you'd have a number series where each installment is the same, with the only difference being the number they end at.

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

    Years ago, when Tough Pigs reviewed an old draft of the movie screen play (I'm not sure if they're still going to do this or not), it was mentioned that the plot did involve them going out into the real world. For years before the movie was ever even announced, I felt that if there ever was a...

    New Muppets Interstitial Series on Disney Junior 2015

    Don't know if I'm missing the point, but Henson still owns the rights to that one. Though I doubt Disney would have made it available by now if Disney got the rights.

    Should Walter be a main character in place of Rowlf and Scooter?

    I mentioned this elsewhere recently, but I feel like Sam the Eagle got a slight boost in prominence during the 1990s. Sure, he was missing from the albums and Muppet Classic Theater, but in The Muppet Christmas Carol he got his biggest role (at the time) in a Muppet movie (in all previous movies...

    New Muppets Interstitial Series on Disney Junior 2015

    Somehow I get the feeling that if The Newsman was cut that he wouldn't have been mentioned in the announcement. Really? I don't remember any Muppet Mindset articles that criticized the movie in a major way. I'll have to reread Ryan's articles on his set visit (or did somebody else at Muppet...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    I wonder if there should be less long segments and in its place put in more letter and number segments. A few years ago I think somebody said that the show often only had one segment for each (not counting the Letter and Number of the Day segments that lead to the letter/number segments). As...

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

    Hopefully Joseph Gordon-Levitt's star power will get this one made (and if it succeeds then hopefully it'll lead to me being able to remember what his whole name is easier). I wonder what kind of role he would have. For all the years we've heard of a potential FR movie, I never thought about...

    The Muppets New Theater

    Chapter 8 Everyone was backstage, ready for the first show to start. "I'm ready to sing", said Johnny Fiama. "And I'm ready to make sure nobody boos you", said Sal. "I feel sooooo cute!", said Bean. "Cute enough to EAT!", said Big Mean Carl, who chased Bean, right into Angelo's...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Recently I saw a series of YouTube videos about the various video game generations, and in the most recent one it was predicted that this generation would be the last to have consoles, though it was speculated that Nintendo will probably have one more console after the WiiU, with Sony and...

    Questions about anything

    So how many Saturday Night Live guest hosts had recurring characters on that show? I know Steve Martin had one of the Festruck Brothers and Theodore of York, Buck Henry had Uncle Frank and the customer in the Samuri sketches (are those customers supposed to be the same character or are they...

    The Muppets New Theater

    Chapter 7 Walter ran down the stairs and out the nearest door, with Mark Shadowman running behind him. "Gotta get to the new theater and warn the others!", said Walter. "Heh heh heh", thought Shadowman, "he doesn't realize that he just ran out of the theater." Walter ran past a sign...

    Chapter 5 The Swedish Chef came to do some cooking. After speaking some Swedish... "Oh, Chef", said Scooter, "I guess Kermit didn't tell you. You're still working at the Muppet theater." The Swedish Chef asked, in Swedish, who was going to be the cooking at this theater, and then Angelo...
