Currently the Disney-owned Muppets are being made in New Jersey by a company called "Puppet Heap". The Sesame Street Muppets and other Henson puppets are generally built in New York at the New York Puppet Workshop (formerly Jim Henson's Muppet Workshop). Jim Henson's Creature Shop is located in...

A preview for Silly Storytime has been posted online: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qTly0TDNgc&feature=sub Unfortunately, it does not include clips from any of the Newsflash segments featured. But it does show a slightly-different cover (of course Kermit is still there).

Well today I picked up the graphic novel collection of the first four issues, and it is such a great read. It felt like a Darkwing Duck movie to me. I liked the scene where we are teased into expecting Steelbeak to show up (though at that point I mistakenly turned two pages at once and got...

You know, in an early scene in Ernest Scared Stupid, Ernest gets stuck in a dumpster while the compactor is turned on, and he struggles to not get squished. But I wonder if he would have been killed if he hadn't been rescued. After all, in Ernest Goes to Jail he survives being electrocuted...

Reading that article I can't quite tell if it specifically said that the line was ending or if it was speculation. I wonder if one of us should ask Roger Langridge if he knows whether it'll continue without him (or at least if he knows whether "The Four Seasons" will be released).

The difference is that the bug villian wasn't really too evil. What I had in mind was an existing character (or a ficticious obscure character) who was the most affected by the Muppets splitting up and joined the villian out of spite. Or maybe joined the villian before the Muppets started to get...

I got some bad news: It looks like Boom may be canceling all its Muppet titles. You can read about it here: http://blog.newsarama.com/2011/01/11/booms-pixar-and-muppet-titles-canceled-by-previews/ It'd be sad if we don't even get "The Four Seasons".

Maybe a newly-created character with a similar look to Henson's earlier characters could assist the bad guy. I wouldn't expect The Jim Henson Company to loan out any Sam and Friends characters for the picture, but maybe somebody similar. Though it would make sense for Sam to join the villian...

Regarding the Jerry Nelson interview: In 2009 when Nelson was interviewed for Tough Pigs he said that all his characters were bad impressions of actors. I thought he was joking then, but in these Muppet Mindset review he seems to be saying who his various character voices are impressions of...

Considering all the talk and images we've had about Walter, I wonder what the chances are that the film will have more original puppet characters who just haven't been mentioned in press releases or interviews. I just reread the script reviews that were posted a few years ago, and it seems...

I'm surprised this thread hasn't already been opened, but on febuary 2, the PBS series "Pioneers of Television" will have a segment devoted to Jim Henson, in an episode about children's television. The episode will also be available as a single-disc DVD and part of a complete season 2 set...

It's "Letter Q Day" with Big Bird. With season 41 being over I was hoping that they'd add some more classic clips but hardly any clips were added last week.

Recently I found a copy of the book Sesame Street Treasury at the store. I didn't buy it, but looked through it. It's basically a 40th anniversary collection of various Sesame Street books over the years. One of the stories included is How to Be a Grouch. I had read at the Harvey Kneeslapper...

I never noticed those continuity errors regarding whether it's light or dark out before. Maybe there was a series of minor eclipses on the street that day, that the residents either didn't notice or care about. Before Oscar sings "I Hate Christmas", Mr. Hooper is seen with the presents he...

He only performed the voice in that production. I was just reading Sal's page at Muppet Wiki, and according to that Brian Henson's last performance as Sal was in an appearance at The Jerry Lewis Telehon in 2005, after The Muppets' Wizard of Oz aired.

Well, the season is over. Were we proven wrong about the number of new episodes Big Bird appeared in this season? Slightly off-topic: Considering the shows current budget cuts, it's a wonder Caroll Spinney doesn't perform more non-Big Bird/non-Oscar characters again like he did in the first...

It's a shame that Kevin Clash didn't even perform in A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa, since that was filmed in New York and featured a number of Sesame Street performers who haven't performed in non-SST productions in quite a while (though around that time David Rudman and Matt Vogel were...

Please note that the following is just speculation and wishful thinking about The Mupets new movie, and as far as I know has not been rumored beforehand. I've been thinking, about the upcoming Muppet movie (whatever they decide to call it); Could it be possible that the villian might have a...

Actually I think Brian Henson does still perform, but pretty much only for The Jim Henson Company. I don't think he's physically performed any Muppet characters since the Disney purchase. Bill Baretta was asked why Seymour was dropped during an interview at The Muppet Mindset, and he wasn't...

I've been thinking about that "?" article about why Oscar wears a trash can lid on his head in illustrations lately. In the article Joe Mathiew said that he didn't know who the first person was to draw him that way. Looking at Muppet Wiki, I saw that he wore his lid as a hat on the cover of the...
