    Your Thoughts: Jason Segel and The Muppets on Saturday Night Live November 19

    Many of us had suspected the Muppets would make a "surprise" appearance, but after reading that line, it makes me wonder if you somehow knew in advance.

    Your Thoughts: Jason Segel and The Muppets on Saturday Night Live November 19

    It looked like he was looking at a script. Could another Muppet appearance be made tonight (well, I'd expect them in the closing).

    Your Thoughts: Jason Segel and The Muppets on Saturday Night Live November 19

    Well, the Muppets appeared in the monologue. It was great. I suspected their appearance would be in the monologue, like Cookie Monster's appearance last year.

    The New Generation of Muppet Performers

    It seems it like until the past decade it had been rare for Muppet performers other than Jim and Frank to be interviewed as themselves (and a great deal of those interviews in the past decade were on Muppet Central, The MuppetCast, Tough Pigs, The Muppet Mindset, and other websites). Though most...

    Was I quoted in your post by accident? Because Camilla definatley wasn't a cameo.

    Dreams about Muppets...

    I dreamt that I was at a premier party for "The Muppets". I got to get my picture taken with Steve Whitmire, Kermit, Rizzo, and Lips. They had photos of Muppets and performers for sale (and for some reason they also had pictures of people I know). And I got to test Jason Segel's knowledge of the...

    Jim Henson's Red Book

    Here's one regarding The Jimmy Dean Show: http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2011/11/18/11181965/ I was a little surprised. So Rowlf was originally intended to just be a guest star in the second episode (which featured another performance by Jim and Frank, outside of Rowlf). I read that the...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Original Soundtrack

    There's an official video preview featuring samples from almost all the songs (Paul Simon and Starship are not included). Listening to these samples, most of them sound different from how I expected (yeah, for the most part I didn't have any lyrics to look at). Pictures in my Head sounds the...

    Characters in the credits

    I often think about the credits to various production, which characters are listed among their performers and which ones are not. And sometimes certain choices seem weird. For example, in The Muppet Movie, The Swedish Chef isn't listed in the credit. He only got two lines in the movie, but so...

    Question about Jim Henson's Performer Credits on SST

    This gets me thinking, Jim Henson never got a "created by" credit. Maybe he didn't feel the need for such a credit. Though Charles Schultz usually got a "created by" credit in the Peanuts specials (I know, they're different people, I'm comparing apples and oranges....). Though quite a few...

    Skits of the Early 70s

    If Frank Oz did accept the role of Big Bird when offered, I wonder how many character's he'd have performed by now (or if he'd currently be a director). Would he have been limited to maybe two or three roles (it was already decided he'd perform Bert before Big Bird was created, but did Jim have...

    The Muppets Movie Reviews

    That's weird, considering her name is widely sourced. I find it weird when a major character in a movie has a proper name that's never mentioned on-screen. I used to wonder what the point of giving characters non-descriptive names was if they weren't going to be mentioned (first I realised it's...

    If "The Muppets" is a success: What's next?

    I know that Muppet Christmas Carol was the only one to have narrarators, but I thought putting a narrarator in a Muppet movie would be an interesting twist. Though I wasn't thinking in terms of how Gonzo and Rizzo were used in MCC, more along the lines of Sam's narraration of Muppet Snow White...

    The Muppets Movie Reviews

    The only productions I've seen that list Dave Goelz as Zoot are ones where he gets some dialogue. He didn't talk much in The Muppet Movie or Muppets Take Manhattan, but he did say something, and was credited in those (I do not yet know if he gets any dialogue in this movie).

    If "The Muppets" is a success: What's next?

    I thought about that a little, but figured they'd rather heckle the story. Though maybe it would be interesting to see the kind of Muppet movie Statler and Waldorf would want to see made (though the idea sounds better as a comic book story).

    Cartoon all stars to the rescue.

    There were hardly any pizza jokes or references in The Next Mutations series. I remember in one of the first episodes, Michelangelo asks if they want to get a pizza, and they (in annoyance) tell him to grow up. And I've read that pizza wasn't a big part of the original comics, just major in the...
