Here's a cool entry that was posted today: http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2011/04/19/4191980/ It discusses an unproduced project that I never even heard of, "The Varied Adventures of Mischevious Miles", which was to be a collaboration between Jim Henson, Jon Stone, and Maurice Sendak...

I just read that the 2012 Muppet calendar will be a movie parodies calendar, with existing parody images. With the calendar likely coming near the movies release date, wouldn't it be a better tie-in to theme it around the movie, wth images (either stills or publicity) from the movie? Or even...

That was a good interview. I noticed there was acknowledgement of us who asked questions here though I don't remember hearing any of our questions being asked. That question about whether they thought about having Waldo interract with guest stars is interesting. I never noticed before that...

It's "Don't Waste It Day" with Telly.

I think some people said they expect this upcoming film to represent how the Muppets "really" act when not in a movie or series. If that's true, then I wonder if Statler and Waldorf will be portrayed in the film as actors who are part of the Muppets, as opposed to audience members who usually...

Today's entry is on a "Today Show" interview regarding the pipes Henson and his crew decorated and the Muppet Stuff stores. http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2011/04/17/4171980/

The 40th anniversary book says that the fishing sketch was the first time Whitmire performed Ernie (though the book also describes the wrong fishing sketch). But it came out the same season as the new years special, so who knows which was actually broadcast first? Of course, in the Muppet...

I've been wondering, if this new movie is a big enough hit, I wonder if Disney will have Segal and Stoller work on more Muppet movies (or if those two would be interested in doing more Muppet movies, despite being fans). Heck, if we get another movie within the next few years I wonder if they'll...

Lately I've been a bit curious about the Play-Along Video entitled "Peek-a-Boo". I rented it once a long time ago and hadn't remembered too much about it. I remembered it having only a small amount of Muppets and not being too good. And, not counting Fraggle Rock (or certain Sesame Street...

I was just reading the description on the back of the "Elmo's Rainbow" packaging, and noticed what the first sentence says: "What's at the bottom of Elmo's rainbow? A DVD filled with all your favorite Sesame friends." Really? If it's filled with all my favorite Sesame Street friends then why...

Here's an idea (and maybe I've been reading too much Muppet Mindset... Nah, you can never read too much of that...): "The Revenge of Angus McGonacle": Angus is once again scheduled for a guest spot only to once again be cancled or replaced, and this time he plans revenge on the Muppets, with the...

IF Marvel does do an original Muppet comic story I'm hoping Tough pigs interviews whoever the writer is (I assume Tough Pigs will, seeing as they've interviewed practically ever Muppet and Fraggle Rock comic book writer and artist since those comics began) and makes sure the writers care as much...

Some of my favorite episodes of The Bob Newhart Show: Fly the Unfriendly Skies - The first episode is good, with Emily revealing she's araid of flying. P-I-L-O-T - The pilot episode was broadcast as the ninth episode. Interestingly, the Nick at Nite Classic TV Companion book apparently lists...

A number of people said that EIG was promoted better than MFS... But I remember it being the other way around. While I didn't see commercials for either movie often, I recall seeing MFS commercials just a little more than EIG commercials. I saw the EIG trailer in theaters, but not the MFS...

Recently I've been thinking, how much (if any) of the Muppet merchandise that comes out around the movie will be a direct tie-in to the movie? We'll have to wait and see what kinds of character variants/special character costumes come from the movie. Of course if The Muppet Show: Season 4 or any...

I watched the Marissa Berensen episode tonight, and noticed this line in the cold open: "This isn't some weird Muppet luggage that'll explode or turn into cheese, is it?" And I'm thinking, when have things in the Muppet world turned into cheese? In the Shirley Bassey episode Bunsen invented a...

Today I thought I'd ask which Ernie and Bert fishing sketch you like better, Ernie's fish call (aka "Here fishy fishy fishy!") or the one where Ernie catches fish while Bert doesn't. Here's the fish call sketch...

Last night I dreamt I saw a deleted scene from The Muppet Movie, in which Sweetums catches up with the Muppets after Kermit's showdown with Doc Hopper. The other characters are getting on the bus to go to Hollywood, Sweetums shows up and is both excited to have caught up and exhausted from all...

Looks like some here fans don't know what "give aways" are (and I wonder if I should regret posting that question). "Give aways" are special figures given out at toy conventions and events, to the press and promoters. The give aways never have any new sculpting or accessories, just repainted...

It's "Share Like a Grouch Day" with Oscar.
