Well, the pigs aren't neccessarily my favorite characters. I have just noticed recently that hardly any Muppet pigs besides Piggy have been used in a long time. I guess it's possible that Link and Strangepork may have worn out (though I don't know for sure), but I would be surprised if all the...

It's a shame it doesn't include Herry or Biff and Sully. ;) Hmm, and I have noticed that there haven't been any Murray Monster toys...

I consider it a creature shop production, and not Muppets. Muppet Wiki once allowed fans to vote for whether Dinosuars should be listed there as a Muppets production or a creature shop production, and most votes listed them as creatures.

I think Jim Henson mostly stopped buiding and designing characters around 1977.

I wonder if that two-page spread after Muppet News is supposed to be an opening. It'd be great if something like that appears in every issue. I wonder if the same artwork would be used each time, or if it would always have differences. I'd prefer slightly different opening images, with different...

I figured that Pigs in Space was represented in Muppet merchandise that wasn't featured Pigs in Space merchandise.

Wow. I like what I saw so far. I especially like that two-page spread of characters that comes after the newsflash. So many obscure characters... the Koozebanes, Nigel, George, Mildred, JP Gross, what looks like a purple version of the happy Hugga Wugga creature (so I guess that is him, and not...

There's the joke he and Seymour told about crossing an elephant with a rhino. And the time he acted a sJason Alexander's good concience opposite Seymour as the bad concience. And Pepe in a tutu from Muppets From Space (though that might be too visual for the podcast). And in It's a Very Merry...

I've been thinking, wouldn't it be great if this book came with a bonus anniversary CD-Rom? It could have the following stuff: Coloring Pages Not really that interesting, but the pages could be illustrated recreations of various scenes, and also include obscure characters like Bruno and...

I've noticed that for the majority of this decade, most pig characters besides Miss Piggy haven't been used at all in any productions. Howard Tubman had a cameo in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, and a similar-looking pig was used in Tinseltown, but otherwise we haven't seen the pgis...

I've recently noticed some similarities and contrasts to Miss Piggy's two recurring sketches, Veterinarian's Hospital and Pigs in Space. For one, both sketches feature three regular characters. And in both, the three usually appear in the same spots in every sketch, but in contrast, in VT...

It's a dang-old shame that "volume 1" didn't include any early episodes. I wonder if there are any intentions to release earlier episodes on iTunes.

Well, I was looking at the blog comments, and Roger Langridge left a comment. It actually is a fifth issue, the start of a new four-issue story arc. Langridge said that Boom! refers to the first of all storyarcs as "#1", but Langridge wouldn't do it that way. The storyline is called "The...

Uh, are you aware that Palisades went out of buisness a few years ago? The Muppets line ended in 2005. Palisades did have a license to make Sesame Street figures, but went out of buisness before the first series could be released, and the only Sesame Street release was an exclusive Super...

And now, here is the final act of the special. (Statler and Waldorf are sitting on a bench outside, reading a newspaper) Statler: Well, it looks like the Muppets are working on a 55th anniversary special. Waldorf: Well, I don't want to watch this special, but there is something I do...

I've often wonder, are there any known reasons why, in a comedy duo, the straight man usually gets top billing over the comic?

Actually, they are two volumes of 27 episodes, not two complete season sets. Both have episodes from the first season, which was a daily 65-episode season. The othe rtwo seasons were 13-episode seasons broadcast on satrday morning. I read at Wikipedia that the first two seasons were actually...

Actually, going by production order, the Linda Ronstadt episode came long after the Loretta Switt episode.

One thing that's interesting is that on the old site, it avoided disambiguating titles, but on the new site, there are titles that appear on multiple clips, with no slight difference in titles. For example, there are three different Newsflash segments involving the three little pigs, which were...

There was also information on it in Jim Henson: The Works, and Jim Henson was once interviewed about it on The Today Show. The Today Show clip was included in the Time and Again documentary on Jim Henson.
