Super cool! I look forward to seeing it! -G

My tought was that the lent puppets would be "guest appearances" and that's the extent of it. Should a puppet appear as a character and suddenly become very popular, there would, of course, be negotiations to purchase the puppet. But that's not the intent of the idea. I'm referring to specific...

So you aren't entering? :( -G

Great Googa MOOga! I was expecting a torrent of "You gotta be kidding!"s. Well then, let talk. I'm just starting to write episode 2 of the show and it'll be heavy with parody stuff. -Gordon (available at spcglider@aol.com) :)

Hey everyone, As you may or may not know, I am in the middle of finishing up the ilot episode for a new tv series called Transylvania Television. You can read more about it at www.transylvania-tv.com, but the basic idea is that it will have lots of grown-up parody style humor. Really...

Groovy! -g

Hooray! My Once Upon A Puppet Contest entry is now IN. I finally had the opportunity to get some pictures of her and write up a description. Deadline is only a couple days away! -Gordon

BorkBork, and everyone... You are correct and we will avoid the issue here. This person has made a very nice fraggle. I applaud the skill and talents shown! -G

Hey folks, Just wanted to give you all a "heads up" ... I'm selling my Muppets SIGMA ceramics collection to help finance Transylvania Television. Be sure to check out all my auctions... I have a couple of pretty nice, rare pieces in there. Including the Rowlf/Piggy piano cookie jar and the...

Just wanted to post a very VERY tardy THANK YOU to Spencer Lott for showing up and putting ALL of the Transylvania Television puppeteers through their paces in an afternoon workshop! Spencer's experience and practice with manipulating puppets on screen was of immeasurable help to everyone...

Actually, what really struck me as I watched the Valentine Special was how much KERMIT changed over the years. If I didn't know it was Jim Henson doing Kermit in the Valentine show, I MIGHT think it was someone doing an impersonation. Kermit went from being a lilt-y voiced guy to a very...

How about Jay Johnson? He's probably the highest profile ventriloquist I can name. But hey, still nice to see a PUPPETEER declared "America's favorite act"! -G

Ahhhhhh... good resource. Thanks! -G

Now lets be fair... This person may not be intimately familiar with the IP laws for America OR Germany. I'd prefer that we inform folks without casting aspersions. What do you say? We know that there are others who purposely ignore the laws, but not everyone may be willfully ignorant. Your...

Because if you don't you're ALL hypocrites! At least that's what you're inferring, isn't it, Kevin? That's been adressed here already. Please read the previous posts. -G

Then how is it that you can have such a callous attitude about someone else's creations? I hope that understanding of other's rights comes to you through this. If not, then I hope it comes with emotional maturity. You are already evidencing promise by this post. Keep walking this path...

Gold Star for TELLY! Now, read the post above this one. -G

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! HOORAY! SOMEBODY FINALLY GETS THE POINT! What needs to be understood NEXT is that there is a distinction made by many rights holders about this very subject. And THEY are the ONLY ONES who may do so, as THEY are the ones who decide who has infringed on their intellectual...

Then , Telly, you have missed the entire point of this thread. It doesn't matter what you, as an individual, think or want. It doesn't matter what any of us thinks or wants. Facts are facts. According to the law, making a replica of someone's intellectual property (whether for profit or...

And if you want them changed, you need to be involved and change them the way they are to be changed, legally.Otherwise you are subject to them like everyone else. Even Disney. Really, I am STUNNED at how so many Muppet admirers are completely devoid of understanding the very basic ideas that...
