    Fraggles in 2005: Make a guess!

    Yup As Dr. Teeth might say, "Too true! Too true!" Really there are only the Gorgs as bad Fraggle characters. You might be able to get Philo and Gunge in there, but I'm not sure if they'd count as "bad" characters exactly. If the game was to be played from a Fraggle perspective, good old...

    Will Disney air the Muppet Show?

    Yes I think they realize that SS is the Muppets based solely on their parents telling them Jim Henson does Kermit and Ernie. I've got nothing against Family Guy and King of the Hill- it's just that they pale in comparison to Fraggle Rock and the Muppet Show. It's sad though that they will...

    You might be an obsessed Muppet fan if...

    Why not throw a few more into the pile: If you've had your eyes surgically removed and inserted into hollow glass frames to look more like Scooter... If you've ever communicated with other Muppet fans in Beaker-ish... If you have a 20GB Ipod and there's nothing on it but ten thousand...

    You might be an obsessed Muppet fan if...

    If... I'm a big Foxworthy fan so I'll have a little fun with this one: If you spent $5000 to get from England to shake Terry Angus's hand at the IWK Telethon... If you can name every character ever puppeteered by Jerry Nelson, Frank Oz and Dave Goelz combined but not the Vice President of...

    The most tear-jerking Muppet moment...

    Interesting story... When I saw TMTM for the first time, I quite liked it up until Kermit left the table to talk to that waitress. Right when Animal said "We go bye-bye" I knew that the movie could not be salvaged no matter what was done with it. It turned into a mess, a junk heap that was a...

    DVD Wishes

    I'll be very detailed I am an avid DVD collector (Henson and otherwise) and so far have about 150 discs. Here's my Henson DVD wishes: The Muppet Movie- Collector's Edition DISC 1- The Muppet Movie with Digitally Remastered Widescreen Transfer (no pan and shlock) 5.1 Dolby Digital (in...

    Will Disney air the Muppet Show?

    Yes (unfortunately) It's sad that no one person in my seventh-grade class (other than myself and my buddy Brownstone) appreciates anything ever done by the Muppets. I'll quote a recent conversation with a short stocky kid called Justin: "You like the Muppets?" "No! They're stupid!" "Why?"...

    What's your favorite Fraggle song?

    My favorite It is easy to see that the Fraggle theme song is better than that of the Muppet Show. It's catchier and didn't change as much. It also didn't have an '80s feel to it at a time when so many songs featured drum machines and cheesy synths. (If it did indeed feature drum machines and...

    Best Muppet musician?

    Who is the best Muppet musician? I had a hard time deciding between Floyd and Janice, and after a solid twenty minutes I've got to go with Janice. :flirt: Your friendly neighborhood critic

    What are your five favorite Muppet songs- from any production, film or otherwise, original or cover, with any characters? Here are my picks: 1) "Simon Smith And His Amazing Dancing Bear" (Muppet Show) 2) "Rainbow Connection" (Do I need to say where it came from?) 3) "It Feels Like...

    The most tear-jerking Muppet moment...

    My two favorites 1) "Couldn't We Ride" 2) "Bless Us All" (the best Muppet song ever!)

    Fraggles in 2005: Make a guess!

    My list Morris Storyteller Matt World's Oldest Sprocket (perhaps with a Doc PVC?) Henchey Architect or Cotterpin Doozer (ideally both) Convincing John Fraggle Chess would be nice. How about a Monopoly as well? :excited: Your friendly neighborhood critic

    If you were having a Muppet dinner party...

    Well, I'll chip in my two cents, and provide character smilies once in a while: 1) Dr. Bunsen- if we ran out of pasta, we could eat sharpened bananas! 2) ;) Scooter- while we sit at the table, he serves his job as a "gofer" and refills our plates. 3) :attitude: Sam Eagle- he'd calm down...
