    Chapter 4 Biff and Sully were out at the live event. “Wow, look at all those people cheering for us”, said Biff, “it looks like a lot!” Sully nodded. “Well, let’s go to our podium and start the show”, said Biff. They started. “Welcome to Biff and Sully’s Radio Show LIVE!”, said Biff...

    Little things we've noticed

    I was watching some of Richard Hunt's performances as Captain Vegetable last night, and noticed that Richard's version has both regular Muppet ears AND bunny ears. Two sets of ears??? I thought those kinds of ears on Anything Muppets were removable (the season two sketch "I Wanna Hold Your Ear"...

    Biff and Sully on the Radio

    Chapter 3 Over the first week, Biff and Sully were a worldwide success. “Hello, you’re on the air”, said Biff. The caller was the Two-Headed Monster, who argued over what song to play, “Eensy Weensy Spider” or “Old MacDonald”. “Hold it!”, said Biff, “I’ll play both!” “YAY!”...

    Eric Jacobson as Cookie Monster?

    You know, years ago, around the time that Frank Oz's characters were given understudies (who have pretty much become recasts by this point, even if Jacobson and Rudman still consider them Oz's characters), I'd read that they did a few segments where Jacobson performed Cookie Monster, and I...

    Biff and Sully on the Radio

    I don't know whether he's still popular or still on the air, but he is/was a radio DJ, who also had a TV show on the E! network (not sure if it was video recordings of what happened during the radio broadcasts or if they were completely seperate), whose humor was very vulgar. He also starred in...

    Chapter 2 Biff and Sully were in the radio booth, ready for their first show. “Okay, you two will be on in thirty seconds”, said the director. “Oh, this is so much fun!”, said Biff. Sully was about to speak.. “Aren’t you excited?”, interrupted Biff. Sully nodded his head. “Okay”...

    Biff and Sully on the Radio

    Enjoy this new fan fic. Chapter 1 Biff and Sully were at work one day, doing their usual job. “Alright, Sully”, said Biff, “let’s get to work!” Biff started his jackhammer, but it went out of control. “SULLYYYYY!!! HEEELLLPPPPP!” Biff ended up crashing into a lamppost. “Oh...

    Today the Mindset posted my article, Top Ten Richard Hunt Characters: http://themuppetmindset.blogspot.com/2012/08/ten-favorite-richard-hunt-characters.html After looking at this, there's something I regret not doing. For the Forgetful Jones, entry, I jokingly remarked that I forget who he...

    Eric Jacobson as Cookie Monster?

    Muppet Wiki mentions that Eric Jacobson started performing Bert and Grover in 1996, but it's not cited, and I kind of doubt that info. Maybe he was learning to perform them at the time, or performing while Frank Oz did the voices, but I don't know for sure (out of all the main performers...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Well, the whole thing is great, even with a limited cast and no inserts from the show. The video includes parodies of Super Mario Bros., Angry Birds, Dance Dance Revolution, Rock Band, Pac-Man, and World of Warcraft. It also includes a racing game sequence, which I'm not sure if it's based on...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I bought the "Elmo's Alphabet Challenge" DVD today. Watching it right now, and it's great so far. Elmo, Abby, and Telly kinda look like well-made toys in their computer animated form (maybe not Palisades-quality, but close). As far as I can tell, this release doesn't have any clips from the...

    Saving Hooper's Store

    And now for some info on the planning for this story! A few years ago, at least as far back as 2009, I had a desire to do a story where Hooper's Store was affected by the economy. In fact I also wanted to do a story where the Muppet Theater was affected by the economy as well (I can't...

    "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story" documentary in development

    No, The Walt Disney Company owns that special, and Lionsgate has the current video rights to stuff from The Jim Henson Company. And while Lionsgate does take down YouTube videos of material it holds video rights to, a film company would need to clear rights before using clips. Not sure if they'd...
