There's one option I have thought of, and I can't remember if I've expressed this idea on the forum or not. I think I thought it up around the time that the online video player debuted, but maybe it'd be good if they did a few digital-only compilations, with no new footage. Maybe make them...

I was about to bring that up as well.

Really? He didn't remember having to fly all the way to England? Would "wanting to fight censorship" (or at least ridiculous censorship) be a legitimate enough reason to be shockingly offensive? Well, we didn't know about this special until we heard that the Muppets were doing a special...

I've noticed that the last few weekends haven't had any new posts. I wonder what's going on there. I could see it being because there weren't any articles sent (besides articles that have to be on certain days of the week, like The Great Muppet Survey and Weekly Muppet Wednesday), but there's a...

The main image on most YouTube videos is a still from that video, but there is a good number of videos where the main video image is a special image, not in the video (or maybe it uses some stills from the video but also has stuff not in the video). Does anybody know how to make the main image a...

Actually I remember hearing about some of the 40th anniversary stuff a year in advance. The 40th anniversary book was announced around the same time as Street Gang was announced (though I know Michael Davis spent five years working on Street Gang, could that have been announced sooner and I just...

Caroll Spinney shot home movie footage for Follow That Bird, as well as many other things he worked on, and I assumed he never had any intention on getting it released (at least it'll be shown in the I Am Big Bird documentary).

I know there hasn't been any official announcements regarding any kind of 45th anniversary DVD release (heck, so far there hasn't even been any official confirmation that the 45th anniversary will be celebrated at all), but if there is, it'd be an interesting parallel. After the second volume...

I wonder if there's any way of knowing how well Volume 3 did. I noticed that it only said Old School Volume 4 wouldn't be released this season, as opposed to there being no current plans to release it at all. Then again, I don't know how you communicated (by phone, in person, e-mail) or if...

I don't think that would be a problem. After all, Warner Brothers owns The Witches and the Red Book has had a number of articles relating to that. And besides, this website has info on a lot of Henson projects and guest appearances that are owned by various companies. I think the Red Book...

No, never the Gorgs. Though I didn't watch much Fraggle Rock until I was 8, at that point I saw less stuff that scared me to the point of being unable to watch without fastforwarding or turning the volume down all the way (though I did continue to do so with a lot of stuff that scared me like...

I'll just say, I don't know who RuPaul is. Somehow I thought he was a political figure.

I don't think I was ever scared of any Fraggle Rock moments. As a kid both the Muppets and Sesame Street had things that scared me, or at least I didn't like (to the point that I wouldn't watch them with the sound on... I'd have to mute the TV or fast forward though them), but not Fraggle Rock.

Is it just me, or has the Red Book been repeating articles/things that have been noted on the site? Lately it seems like it brings back one-line dates that had been noted in the past, sometimes with an article when it didn't have one the first time, sometimes with more information. In fact a few...

I wonder if this special will have some Lady Gaga-only numbers, in addition to Muppet-only numbers/sketches. The John Denver specials had John Denver-only numbers... Well, even in the era of YouTube I still haven't seen the A Christmas Together special but the album has as many Denver-only...

And yet even in the early years it wasn't often they had multiple major characters interacting. Maybe they already realized by then that the performance was as important as the voice, and didn't want other performers performing their characters wrong. In fact, it seems like in the first ten...

I wonder if they could have gotten the whole band for The Jim Henson Hour or Muppets Tonight. Both shows frequently featured appearances by multiple humans in addition to the guest stars, and the episode Power even featured an entire band (The Nylons). Muppets Tonight had a lot more...

Another thing not mentioned in this thread is the fact that during the 1970s, it was common for the human cast to do voices, most notably in the Roosevelt Franklin segments, but also in many early Anything Muppet numbers. I wonder what it would have been like if the human cast provided as many...

So the fact that the Muppets are in the title means that they are heavily featured, beyond just a few segments. I wonder if Lady Gaga will be in all those sketches. Considering all the extra celebrities who will appear. It might be odd for all segments with the celebrity guests to include...

The whole band wouldn't have been on The Muppet Show. No band ever was.... The lead singers of bands were (Debbie Harry, for example), I think they wanted to have the Beatles on the show but only if they could get all four members, and it would have been expensive. KISS could have done something...
