    First Elmo original sketch!

    That's what I thought, too.

    New D23 event showcasing Muppet merchandise

    I hope there'll be some surprises beyond what's been announced. Of course I'm not a member and don't have the money or time to travel to the event anyway. I wonder if anybody here (or at Tough Pigs) will be attending.

    First Elmo original sketch!

    I noticed that Elmo's name is labeled, but it looks like that part may have been written on it years later, after Elmo's name was established. In Caroll Spinney's autobiography, he said that the Elmo puppet was around in an early season and called Baby Monster, then was put in storage for many...

    New D23 event showcasing Muppet merchandise

    I've found that there's supposed to be an event on November 17 which is only available to D23 members, showcasing some Muppet merchandise, including new t-shirts, limited artwork, skate decks, and Vinylmation. Info here...

    17 Things Kermit has done that are worse than living in a mansion.

    First of all, I don't see what's so wrong with Kermit living in a mansion (and the junior novel provides a reasonable reason I won't mention here). And second of all.... Most of the things on that list I don't find bad at all (and certainly not worse than living in a mansion). The only things...

    The Moopets

    The Moopets come off a bit creepy, but that's proably the intent. I find them especially creepy in the poster, where they are for the most part hidden among the big amount of Muppets. And also, whoever did the photoshopping made a mistake; The Moopet resembling Janice is at the bottom, going up...

    The Muppet Mindset

    I never thought of those examples from GMC and MTM as bathroom humor. The one from GMC takes place in a bathroom and involves characters impatiently needing to use the bathroom, but I never saw that as bathroom humor (and I don't find the scene too funny). And in MTM, I thought them thinking the...

    The Muppet Show...Continued?

    If we get any direct-to-video Muppet productions, I hope they're more like the direct-to-video stuff we've gotten in the past (the Playhouse videos, Play-Along Videos, Sing-Alongs, and Muppet Classic Theater), and not really a movie. Though I'd want more of the core characters involved; Pretty...

    The Muppets, The Movie Junior Novel

    I was a little shocked by the way it ended, though it still provides a happy ending, in a way. If the movie ends differently then I'll mention what happends in the book after it comes out (assuming nobody else does first).

    The Muppet Show...Continued?

    And even if Disney did own the Muppets back then, Disney wasn't very sequel-crazy at the time.

    The "Have You Ever Wondered..." Thread

    I know additional footage is often also added to television airings of Blazing Saddles, Ernest Goes to Jail, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and the Problem Child movies. Though I've read that several scenes from the Problem Child movies get censored and the additional footage is added to compensate...

    Yes. And I wonder why Easter is sometimes in March and sometimes in April. No.

    Little things we've noticed

    I noticed that in the talk spot with Juliet Prowse, Kermit points out that Juliet is "going to be on the show a lot". Of course like every guest star she never appeared on the show again, but I wonder if there was consideration early on for celebrities to return as guest stars again (perhaps...

    The Muppets, The Movie Junior Novel

    I got the book. It's a good read. So much I'd like to comment on yet I don't want to spoil the film (well, maybe I will spoil the film.... With money by seeing it many times!)

    The Muppet Show...Continued?

    Why do I have the feeling that if there is a new series soon it'll be called (and I don't want it to be called) "The Muppets"?

    "The Muppets" first preview screening

    The Sandy Duncan episode is the only time he was full-body, and in that appearance he was sitting. So I wonder if he was worn like a costume (I noticed he never opened his mouth in that scene) or if they attached clothing to the puppet and used some clever trick to hide the puppeteer performing...

    The Muppets (2011) Movie News

    Somebody on the Tough Pigs forum said that after reading the junior novelization the empty arches make more sense, though I read the whole thing and didn't notice anything that made it make sense. But we only have a month and a week to go!

    Muppet homes we've seen

    Oh yeah. And that was also Johnny's house as well (though at the end f\of the episode "Johnny Fiama Leaves Home", she said Johnny moved to the YMCA). We've also seen Statler and Waldorf live at a nursing home in the first season of Muppets Tonight.

    "The Muppets" first preview screening

    I just read the whole junior novelization, and I noticed that Janice got a line in the book (not sure if the person who saw the movie forgot about the line or if the book did it differently or if it's not even in the movie, though in my opinion it looked more like something Floyd would say).
