Well the Muppets don't have canon, so it probably doesn't matter. But it would be interesting if any new facts come up in future projects (I don't really expect any new info on the long-time main characters like Kermit or Miss Piggy, they already have plenty of existing info that can be included).

It says that the reason Kermit only had a small part in Sex and Violence is because Jim Henson was considering not performing on the show, or not performing often, but then he performed Nigel in that special, in addition to many other characters. I don't quite understand why he would perform the...

When the Muppets appeared on Saturday Night Live, why did the announcer have to list the performers? Couldn't the performers names just be listed in the end credits, as opposed to announced? In fact why doesn't Saturday Night Live (and most variety/talk shows) list guests in the end credits? It...

Well, the book comes out in just a few days. I hope that a review comes out before the book is released. Don't know if Tough Pigs or The Muppet Mindset or even Muppet Central will get (or has gotten) an early copy to review, but that would be nice (and I expect both sites to give a great review...

I've seen images from some of the Atari Sesame Street games which have copyrights for both Muppets, Inc. and Henson Associates. And also, it seems like the book says that the company changed it's name to Jim Henson Productions after Jim Henson decided to sell to Disney, which was after The...

Kermit hosts The Tonight Show.

I just saw another Toyota commercial, walked into the room after it had started.... Not sure if it's been noted, but this one had Crazy Harry, setting off an explosion in the car which blasted Gonzo through the roof.

There is one other thing I wish Disney would do better: get more Muppet merchandise available in stores other than The Disney Stores. Yes, fans can order online, and there is a Disney Store near where I live (but it's in a town I don't drive to often), and the merchandise I'm most excited about...

My guess is that he just wasn't as impressed as Terry Crews was.

The two-week deadline is nothing compared to what Fozzie's thought when they arrived in New York: he said that they'd "all be on Broadway tomorrow". Maybe he meant they'd officially have a deal to be on Broadway, though, as opposed to the show opening the next day.

I'd say the only thing Disney hasn't done right this year (so far) is release the fourth season of The Muppet Show, in addition to other non-movie Muppet productions on DVD. At least half(half-ish?) of the movies have recently aired on ABC Family, when most of the movies have barely aired in the...

Looking at the "Gonzo's Great Acts" page, it seems like his motorcycle act is the only actual act represented, with the others pictured not coming from any actual productions. Why not acknowledge/picture his tire-eating. cannonball-catching, piano-balancing, or hypnotism acts? But maybe those...

How far in advance to the next TV season do you suppose is the best time to pitch a show to the networks? How far in advance so you have more time for casting and developing (even if you've already developed the show in your head for years, but I guess any creator could use more development time...

Also, it's great that The Electric Mayhem is featured all equally, as opposed to Animal being the most prominently featured one. Actually I feel I barely notice Animal's pressence in this.

Last night I dreamt that I was watching a special version of Muppet Treasure Island. Long John Silver died early on, and the climax featured a battle with a random pirate. And then the cast all left on one life boat, the Muppets basically taking a curtain call and removing their costumes and...

I dreamt that I got a copy of The Muppets Character Encyclopedia. Looking at an page of contents, I saw that at the beginning there were pages on a few non-Muppets: The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Bob McGrath, Linda Bove, a few more people, and Emillio Degardo. I don't...

It's odd in the Muppet Show chapter when it says that Jerry Nelson once asked why he didn't do more. He performed more characters than any other performer on The Muppet Show, had the biggest number of recurring characters, and performed almost every major one-shot character.

This song sounds very similar to "You Tickle Me" from Sesame Street. I figured it probably had the same writer, as many songwriters tend to use the same tunes for multiple songs (I remember when I first realized "With Every Beat of My Heart" and "I'm Gonna Always Love You" sounded similar, I...

Part of me was thinking it was Progresso, but then I thought that was the car insurance company with Flo. Which might actually be called Progressive.

I was just watching The Brady Bunch Movie, and noticed near the end credits, it actually listed who originally played the kids. Why was this needed? Are there any other movies based on TV shows to acknowledge who originally played the main characters? In fact four cast members (though it's not...
