    Jim Henson's Red Book

    Today's entry is on the baker films: http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2012/06/04/62-61969/ At first I was confused by what was written - "Shoot #s (4th chef falls)". It made me wonder if that meant they shot the baker scene from the 4 segment but not the others, or if maybe they shot the...

    Sesame Street Classic Episodes Vol. 1 now available for download on iTunes and Amazon

    I just downloaded and watched episode 56. Some observations: The scenes with Oscar and Mr. Hooper make me wonder how long they have known each other. Mr. Hooper seems surprised that Oscar would order such a disgusting sundae. It's also funny how when Oscar invited Mr. Hooper to dinner he...

    Funko POP! Muppet figures coming in 2012

    I wonder if these are still coming out. We were told they'd be released in April, then May, I haven't seen them in stores and I haven't read any reports of anybody finding them yet. But maybe this is Palisades series 1 all over again (I remember at the time it felt like it took forever for that...

    Is Gonzo Being phased out?

    I didn't know Gonzo introduced a broadcast of that special. Though I did know the special was rebroadcast on The Disney Channel.

    Are there tours of the Henson company in NY?

    I'm pretty sure they normally don't do tours. The official Jim Henson Company website had said that the place is for business and not open for tours (not sure if that info's still on the site), I also recall seeing somewhere at Henson.com that they usually only give tours to relatives of...

    Random Thoughts: Season Two of TMS

    You know, a month ago I wrote a series of articles for The Muppet Mindset on my top 40 favorite Muppet Show segments, and after posting the article I realised that most of my favorite Kermit segments from the show come from season two. My list included Kermit's interview with the Koozebanian...

    Frank Oz Interview with EW

    One thing I've noticed is that in The Muppets while Frank's vocals are heard in "Mahna Mahna" the beginning when Muppet Show clips are shown do not feature any known performances by Frank Oz, outside of the opening. I'd like to think Disney wouldn't need permission from Oz to include clips of...

    The Muppet Mindset

    When it comes to why Wayne and Wanda were hired back in The Muppets, maybe Sam pressured Kermit into hiring them back.

    Is Gonzo Being phased out?

    Some mentioned that Gonzo was not in the Rainbow Connection finale. I had not noticed Gonzo's absense there. But while Gonzo was shown still moving his arm in a circle with his bowling ball stuck to his finger, and during the credits it was shown finally coming off. But between those scenes...

    The Muppet Mindset

    Wayne and Wanda were seen dancing in At the Dance in the third episode. I can't remember if they danced outside of that segment, though they never got any At the Dance dialogue. Which reminds me, back when Palisades made the action figures, I initially thought that if an At the Dance playset...

    Is Gonzo Being phased out?

    I was watching the movie recently and had noticed that, aside from deleted scenes, between the scene with Gonzo quitting his plumbing business and his blowing the trumpet in the opening he does seem to just be there alot (just like many lesser characters in the film). I don't recall him doing...

    The Muppet Show at The AV Club

    All of the first two seasons have been reviewed, and now the articles will be taking a break for the summer, but unfortunately it's unknown whether they'll return.

    Little things we've noticed

    The Muppet Show aired in first-run syndication, so all over the United States the show was on different local stations at different times and different days of the week. Also, a lot of TV shows have changed their timeslots over the years, they were produced for network TV, cable TV, syndication...

    Coming Soon! iYip

    I downloaded this a few days ago. It's fun to use. I noticed on a screen there's a green martian. I've never seen a green one before. Not sure if it was some sort of coloring or what.

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    I've read a rumor (which I wouldn't be surprised if it was true) that Jerry Juhl quit writing the movie because of the bathroom humor. The closest confirmation I can find to it being true is a Muppet Central news article which announced that Jerry Juhl left production of the film due to...

    Full-Bodied Oscar

    And in the past few years there's been this trend where on the spine of the DVD releases a character is always shown full-body. The spine of the Best of Sesame Street Spoofs! release shows a full-body shot of Guy Smiley (not sure if it's a new photo or if they added legs to an existing photo...

    Dinosaurs Finale

    I assume that any cuts or parts that get put together would have been hidden by the clothing. Aside from Baby Sinclair we never see any of the dinosaurs characters naked.

    Little things we've noticed

    I was looking at the back of Muppet Race Mania recently, and noticed this line of text: "Karting off the lavish sets of their six blockbuster movies". By referring to them all as "blockbuster" movies that would mean Muppets from Space was a blockbuster movie, but that's obviously not true. Talk...

    The Muppet Mindset

    I like the new layout for the Weekly Muppet Wednesday gallery, categorizing by character. Just for fun I decided to keep track of how many articles there are for each category: Muppets - 42 Sesame Street - 31 Fraggle Rock - 13 Other - 5
