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

    What's the point of stealing some really valuable one-of-a-kind item? I would think that maybe some one-of-a-kind item like an original painting would be stolen for the sake of selling for a high price... But why would somebody want to own something so valuable and one-of-a-kind aside from...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    So has anybody found any known factual mistakes in this book yet? It seems like not much from this book has been sourced onto Muppet Wiki yet. I know that some info regarding Tales of the Tinkerdee has, but otherwise I don't think any info has. And there is a thread on the Muppet Wiki forums...

    TV Alert: Brian Jay Jones on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart October 10

    I watched it. I was reminded about it on the Tough Pigs facebook page, but wasn't sure what time The Daily Show started (though I did turn the TV to Comedy Central and saw that something else was on). Then I forgot about it until I finally decided to check and see what time the show started, and...

    How did certain Muppeteers get chosen as current Muppet recasts?

    That gets me thinking, I know that the Tough Pigs and Muppet Mindset people have occasionally gotten to chat with/spend time with Muppet people, outside of interviews for the websites.... When they do so, I wonder if they ever do talk about their careers or ask certain questions fans would want...

    How did certain Muppeteers get chosen as current Muppet recasts?

    I bet he wouldn't get that if he was interviewed for one of the Muppet fan sites. Though it seems he's not interested in that. A year ago one of the Tough Pigs people actually came across him and Frank turned down an offer to be interviewed, saying something along the lines of he "doesn't do...

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

    In Toy Story, soon after Andy gets his Buzz Lightyear action figure, he replaces a lot of cowboy stuff in his room with Buzz Lightyear stuff. He replaces posters, drawings, and bed sheets. I can see the drawings on the wall replaced, and maybe also posters, but why replace his cowboy blankets...

    Muppet Book Idea!

    I know this is a ten-year-old thread and I started another thread about it last week, but there finally will be a DK book about Muppets. A "Muppet Character Encyclopedia", coming February 7.

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

    What's the deal with all those Lego versions of Star Wars and other franchises? I don't mean Lego toys of the characters from franchises, I mean stuff like video games, movies, and books that feature Lego versions of popular characters. What's up with that? A lot of times, when I go to flea...

    The Muppets Character Encyclopedia coming Feb. 7 2014

    Somebody mentioned that DK has put out a Disney A-Z character encyclopedia, and that updated books come out every few years (this would be something that could benefit from digital books, if they could be digitally updated). So I went to the book store to see if I could find one and see if that...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    Well, I found a copy at Books-A-Million yesterday and glanced in it a little. I mainly looked in the index, looking for a few particular productions, and it looks like most of the ones I was hoping would be talked about don't appear in the book (according to the index). Glancing in there, it...

    How did certain Muppeteers get chosen as current Muppet recasts?

    I don't know how they would be more essential than Rowlf, Scooter, Dr. Teeth, or Janice. It's also interesting because their performers had died so soon to each other, they could have just been reduced to background cameos. After all, they usually just watch the Muppets or show up where the...

    The Sonic the Hedgehog Thread

    I found the TV Tropes thing that mentioned the Sonic CD coding lost, in the "edit history" page for Keep Circulating the Tapes, which for some reason was removed from the page (along with info on the few Sonic games that haven't been rereleased on later systems). And I saw that it did mention...

    The Great Space Coaster

    I was thinking, couldn't they start an official Great Space Coaster YouTube channel, with clips of the non-music segments (depending on whether they would need clearances to include the music numbers on YouTube)? Another thing they could do is put episodes (at least the ones converted to...

    Questions about anything

    What WAS the point of Sega making 32x CD games? You were required to have both a Sega CD and a Sega 32X (and, obviously, a Sega Genesis), but the 32x CD games were just CDs. Did the discs have some way of detecting if a 32X was connected? Just now I thought, "at least people wouldn't need to...

    The Sonic the Hedgehog Thread

    I would have thought it'd be easier to emulate Sega CD games onto disc-based systems, since Sega CD games were on discs. They were able to put several Genesis and Game Gear games on various compilations, and Sonic Gems included a Saturn game. And I've been informed that a number of other Sega CD...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Last night I dreamt that I went to Walt Disney World and the Sweetums walk-around was actually there to sign autographs. I know that while a walk-around sometimes appears in events at the park he's not supposed to sign autographs, pose for pictures, or be close-up to the guests (because it's...
