Chapter 2 The gang was headed to the ski resort. “We will reach our destination in 138 miles”, said ‘80s Robot. “Gee”, said Lew, “I hope we have enough gas.” The car went past traffic lights, which turned red before the first bus behind them could even pass. “I hope this light doesn’t...

Chapter 1 Walter was in a cab, with a bunch of presents, headed to Kermit’s mansion for Christmas. “I am so excited!”, said Walter, “This is my first Christmas with the Muppets! I hope everybody is there, even though I couldn’t afford presents for ALL of the Muppets…” “As long as you can...

Here's an article about The Great Santa Claus Switch getting an article in TV Guide: http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2011/12/12/12121970/ Not much, but it includes a few design sketches. Interestingly, the designs list the Frackles by what they were intended to be called (Blue Frackle, Snake...

In the Muppet Central interview Steve Whitmire said he performed Fozzie in many of the scenes where Fozzie and Piggy appear on-screen together (and he appears behind the gang when watching the beauty contest). Though Michael Earl has said that he performed Fozzie in the showdown sequence.

It's "Delicious Food Day" with Cook... Errr, I mean, Rosita.

Speaking of that, has Janice the puppet ever played the tambourine? A tambourine was an accessory with the action figure, I think the comic books sometimes showed her playing tambourine (I don't think she ever played guitar in any of the BOOM comics, for some reason), and the old Kermitage...

His office was at Muppet Studios, not the theater. You could say that the studio wasn't built until after the show ended (assuming the Muppets still made movies and specials after the show ended in this continuity).

Seems it didn't say if he was still alive or not. Somehow I'm assuming he is, but it's still hard for me to tell from the article (yeah, it says they wouldn't talk about his personal life, which is fine by me, but it'd still be good to know if he was still living). It's interesting, his name...

You know, I was sort of expecting more photos of Muppets in the "Pictures in my Head" sequence. It seems odd for there to not be pictures of Bunsen and Beaker, Rowlf, or Scooter (or Pepe or Lew Zealand or Sweetums or Sam or Rizzo or....).

If it has any of those then it can't really be called a "bare bones dvd".

I noticed that the only time Uncle Deadly was mentioned by name in the movie, he's just called "Deadly".

After seeing one review which mentioned that the fart shoes gag had some sort of payoff, I expected the shoes to end up making Tex Richman laugh for the first time ever. The "payoff" didn't seem like much of one, just another use of the gag (the movie junior novel actually mentions both fart...

I had no idea Happy Holidays aired on PBS.

I knew that, but I was just saying that the "It's the Muppets!" videos couldn't have just reused a closing from an actual episode, because of some of the performers credited, and the credits were presented like they were in the US broadcasts.

When I first read about this at Tough Pigs, I thought that Caroll Spinney was the only Muppet performer in this (in addition to Toby Towson performing Barkley), but watching this it's clear there's an extra uncredited performer, performing Oscar's right hand when playing the guitar (I knew about...

For awhile I wondered if maybe it was common on Playhouse Video releases. It's common for me to find videos from Playhouse in flea markets (though never the Muppet ones) and for the most part they don't, but the Fairie Tale Theater videos do. I recently found images of the inside covers for...

Back in the 1980s when Henson purchased the rights to The Muppet Show, they had to replace the endings with Zoot because the ATV logo appeared. But it makes me wonder, why didn't they have a copy without the logo? I would think that they had copies of the closing without credits (so they could...

I found an image from the back cover of Rock Music with the Muppets!: http://www.amoeba.com/blog/2008/11/video-maniacs/rock-music-with-the-muppets.html Looking at that image of Floyd and Zoot (which I previously thought was from one of the musician jokes sketches), I wonder if that's actually...

I don't think It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie comes with free tickets. I'm pretty sure that's only for the movies that Disney has released on DVD. Universal released that one.

I only watched the beginning of this, but I must ask, are you still making videos as "The Nostalgia Teen"? At first I wondered if the Teen would be hosting this. Interestingly, I first heard of this special ten years ago, when Danny Horn wrote a review/summary at Tough Pigs. And although the...
