    Muppet homes we've seen

    I thought it might be fun to list the various homes we've seen that the Muppets have lived in (I wonder if the list would be interesting enough for a Muppet Wiki list page). Here's some, grouped by character: Muppets (many): Muppet boarding house, Muppets from Space Apartment building...

    Pre-Order The Muppets Original Soundtrack

    I forgot about that. If dialogue tracks lead to music tracks it can be good to hear them back-to-back on the album, but if listening on an ipod, if listening to tracks in the usual alphabetical tracklist instead of by album, I imagine it could be annoying listening to a track but not getting...

    Paging Drtooth

    It seems like Disney has released all of it's politically incorrect shorts on DVD by now (though I know there are a lot of Disney shorts from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s still not on DVD, but I don't think many of those have familiar characters), so I find it odd Song of the South remains...

    Paging Drtooth

    Speaking of Adult Swim, I remember when the block began, I was hoping it'd be a way to showcase classic WB, MGM, and Popeye cartoons that the channel otherwise showed uncut, especially the politically incorrect cartoons (ironically, Adult Swim has shown some poliitically incorrect shows intended...

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

    I happen to be a big fan of the majority of late-1960s WB shorts. Though I don't care much for the Merlin shorts, or Chimp and Zee, or See You Later, Gladiator (which, at least on the GAC forums, is universally considered the worst Daffy and Speedy cartoon). I was happy that the Road Runner...

    Muppet Books Review

    It appears that "I Am Kermit the Frog" and "Meet the Muppets" are adaptations of the movie, but they don't appear to be too detailed or spoilery. "I Am Kermit the Frog" focuses more on Kermit, with the beginning being based a bit on The Muppet Movie (Kermit deciding to leave the swamp to go to...

    Muppet Books Review

    I can't remember if I saw '80s Robot, but I Am Kermit the Frog and Meet the Muppets do have Walter and the Moopets (I don't think it shows the Moopets outside of Kermit reuniting with Fozzie). I didn't notice them in the sticker books.

    The Muppets, The Movie Junior Novel

    Until I saw these pictures, I thought that shot of the gang was in the auditorium. I hadn't noticed 'till now that it's backstage. And it looks like the backstage has an extra floor.

    Muppet Books Review

    I've seen all these books at Books-A-Million today and glanced through them (I only purchased the movie junior novelization), and noticed that hardly any obscure characters besides Uncle Deadley appear in the books; The most obscure ones I spotted are Sweetums and The Newsman. I was hoping...

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    I was recently reading Roger Ebert's 2000 Movie yearbook, which featured his reviews from 1998-1999, and I noticed that he never brought up Pepe, though supposedly every critic who otherwise disliked the film praised Pepe. Also interesting is that he apparently didn't review The Adventures of...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Last night I dreamt that I saw the new movie, but missed the beginning. And in my dream, the Muppets never raise enough money. When Kermit makes his "I beleive in you" speech, he asks "Give me a show of hands. How many of you have caught 23 pianos shot out of a cannon?", to which Gonzo raises...

    Could it be? Sesame Street the Comic?

    With The Muppet Show, I think musical numbers would be more expected, given the variety format (though I'm surprised that The Electric Mayhem and Rowlf didn't get more numbers). It wasn't really neccessary for Fraggle Rock, since they don't put on a show often. For the potential Sesame Street...

    Could it be? Sesame Street the Comic?

    If the rumors are true, I hope they have us fans in mind, like how Boom did for The Muppet Show Comic Book and Achira (I probably spelled that one wrong) did for Fraggle Rock and other Henson properties (though I don't own any of those comics). I can do without musical numbers (which the Muppet...

    SST's YouTube Channel Hacked

    Hopefully Sesame Workshop will start a new YouTube channel. There have been many YouTubers whose accounts were suspended but were apparently able to start new channels regardless (and even if a person couldn't start another channel after getting suspended, I'm sure they could just get another...

    Beaker reminds you to be safe near fire (the hard way)

    This was a funny commercial. I wonder if Dave Goelz actually operated Bunsen here. Something about his movements seem different. I also wonder if Kermit was only here to include one of the main Muppets. I think it could have worked with just Bunsen and Beaker (and they're certainly not obscure...

    Paging Drtooth

    I agree that Regular Show, Gumball, The Looney Tunes Show, and Mad are all good shows, though I don't watch them all the time. I'm a bit surprised that Mad is included in the regualr Cartoon Network line-up as opposed to Adult Swim (If I had to give the magazine a rating I'd give it an R or at...

    "Life's a Happy Song" Lyrics

    Here's a video of rehearsal footage which appears to be most of the closing reprise of the song (I think the beginning might be missing, but we'll have to wait until the soundtrack comes out if not the movie, or unless a sneak peek of that goes online). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyJuK_DINvg

    Which format is better for the Muppet Movie?

    One thing that I've noticed is that of all characters Beaker frequently seems to be a victim of full-frame cropping. Did Muppet Labs do the fullframe work? For example, in The Great Muppet Caper, at the end of the Happiness Hotel song, he's cut from a few shots in full frame. During the...

    "Life's a Happy Song" Lyrics

    I heard the song, and I can't wait to see the visuals. I wonder if all of them are human or if it's a mix of humans and puppets. Many of the voices sound a bit muppet-y, and I thought I heard a voice that sounded like Miss Piggy. Or I wonder if the regular performers provided voices and live...
