Of course Geri and the Atrics were introduced in season 4. I've noticed that when Christopher Reeve was the guest, all of his on-stage acts were as sudden replacements for other characters. He replaced an injurred Gonzo for the Shakespear sketch, and replaced Rowlf in two different acts...

One thing that I often wish is that Newhart had more noticable changes throughout its run. But then again, maybe the lack of changes is what kept the show on the air for so many years. But it would have been at least great if they changed the opening every year. I remember for a long time...

Though I now remember once, back in 1998, I was at a video store, and saw a copy of a movie that I assume starred Bob Newhart. I can't remember it's title (I guess I'll have to search wikipedia or IMDB), but it appeared to invovle Bob Newhart playing a jogger. I sort of wish Nick at Nite had...

I don't know if there's any other big Bob Newhart fans here, but I thought I'd start a thread for that great comedian and television actor, Bob Newhart. Of course, I've mostly seen his work in television: The Bob Newhart Show, Newhart, even Bob and George & Leo. It seems he didn't star in...

There's a number of times when we hear the punchlines to jokes without hearing the set-up (Floyd's joke backstage in the Dom DeLuise episode following Don't Blame the Dynamite, a joke Maria tells Gordon at the beginning of the "Sleeping Grouchy" episode). In the Loretta Lynn episode we hear the...

Would that mean that back then the writers didn't actually come up with the initial ideas for movies?

Now I'm wondering... In cases where the writing is a group effort... I'm thinking like how the characters on The Dick Van Dyke Show were portrayed, if they are all writing together, and while writing a movie or episode, if one writer suggests a line or gag or scene but somebody else writes it...

I think Kermit meant that the clip was going to be in the special, not that the kid was going to make an appearance. The clip was in the special, after all.

Looking a bit more at that Disney Afternoon Vinyl series, it seems each DA series is represented with two characters per series. I guess the inclusion of Launchpad is because of DuckTales more than Darkwing Duck (though judging by how stylized they are I don't think that Launchpad looks...

When I first saw that, I thought it was a naked Tinkerbelle. :concern:

Recent news of the Muppet Vinymation Series 2 got me searching for information on other Vinylmation series, and I learned that a Vinylmation series on The Disney Afternoon was just released last month, which includes Darkwign Duck, Launchpad, and Gosylin...

Now I wonder if they should release a series 3 in time for the movie, and have the majority of figures be characters created for Muppet movies (Walter, Bill, Gil, Jill, Polly Lobster, Mad Monty, Clueless Morgan). Or maybe a "Muppet Christmas Carol" series, possibly with 9' figures based on the...

It looks like today's Muppet Mindset article was accidently announced in the YouTube thread. But here's what was posted there:

Do you realise this is the "Muppets and YouTube" thread and not the "Muppet Mindset" thread?

While watching some Geri and the Atrics clips recently, I've noticed that the guitar player played guitar with her left hand, yet she was performed by the left-handed Louise Gold. This gets me wondering if Louise Gold just did the voice while somebody else did the puppetry. Of course there are...

There's a number of behind-the-scenes info out there that explains how Frank Oz did Miss Piggy's underwater ballet in The Great Muppet Caper. Jim Henson's Red Book once did an article on it. The Muppet Wiki page for The Great Muppet Caper gives a bit of info as well. It seems the people at...

It's often been noted that when it comes to behind-the-scenes information, Jim Henson didn't keep many secrets, and was usually willing to explain how things were done. But on occasion there have been instances where he remarked that the viewers would have to figure them out for themselves...

Yesterday there was a post noting a taping date for "Mad Mad World" pilot. Anybody know what this is? There's no historical information provided, and Muppet Wiki doesn't have a page for it. I wonder if maybe it was a series based on It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (though it was noted that The...

I don't know if they should be counted as mistakes as much as messed-up memories, but there's a few episodes of The Muppet Show that I only saw on Nickelodeon once, and not again until they were released on DVD, and had things that I remembered differently. For example, the John Denver...

Something just occurred to me recently: It seems like season four of The Muppet Show didn't really have very many changes. It's pretty much the only season with no new regular Muppet performers (depending on whether you'd count Karen Prell, Brian Meehl and Betsy Baytos as regular in season...
