    Actually, according to Muppet Wiki, Clifford was designed by Kirk Thatcher.

    Pigs in Space wasn't realy exploited

    It seems like Pigs in Space is one of the most popular Muppet Show sketches, and yet it seems like Jim Henson didn't really take advantage of the sketches popularity. I was looking at the Muppet Wiki page for Pigs in Space, and under the merchandise list it appears that only one Pigs in Space...

    Bert and Ernie vs Ernie and Bert

    Over the years, Bert and Ernie haven't had a consistient billing. Sometimes, Bert is billed first, and sometimes, Ernie is billed first. Though it does seem like in recent years Sesame Workshop has been giving Bert top billing most often (in video clips on the website, the new Bert and Ernie's...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    I wonder where the image came from. I saw a page at Muppet Wiki that described that sketch, from CTW Archives files. I wodnered if that was the plot of an episode, but it looks like it was just a sketch. The other youtube users mention that it was repeated. Though I figured that the plotline...

    Miss Piggy wasn't very mean to Kermit in the 1980s

    Has anybody noticed that during most of the 1980s, Miss Piggy didn't karate chop or get mad at Kermit very much? I wonder if there were plans to soften her or something. But it seems that she eventually did go back to karate chopping him in the 1990s, in Kokomo, Muppet Treasure Island, and...

    Your Thoughts: Street Gang – The Complete History of Sesame Street

    It is interesting that in the book it talks about how Jim Henson initially didn't want to license the Sesame Street characters due to them being public television characters, but changed his mind when he was told that mechandise revenue would help fund bigger projects. And also in the book, it...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    You know, those characters aren't among the top ten that I would have most wanted. But I guess we should be thankful that, aside from releasing Johnny Fiama but not Sal, Palisades didn't start any character duos or groups without completing them in the line. They didn't realease Bill and Gil but...

    Unofficial Script Review of the New Muppet Movie

    I thought his role was fairly big there. I was thinking, however, that maybe his role should be like Rizzo's role in that movie. Rizzo had been a minor character for a decade, and then he became one of the main five, and then with that movie his role was smaller, somewhere between his roels in...

    Unofficial Script Review of the New Muppet Movie

    Yeah, I was thinking the other day that they should at least get a regular Muppet writer or two like Jim Lewis to rewrite the script.

    Disney greenlights "The Muppet Show" comics

    Did you ask whether #5 was for real or jus t atypo, or did you ask which character would be featured, or did you do both? It would be interesting if each issue were to always focus on a different character, to the point where they'd eventually do issues starring characters like Fleet...

    Well I think we are thinking of the same lists. It's hard to find it using the internet wayback machine (I can find older versions of Muppet central, but the delphi forum still doesn't seem to come up). I know that Tough Pigs included that list, along with other info that came from the posts. It...

    I wodner if these will actually come out on the release dates. There have been a lot of Muppet books that I couldn't find ins tores until weeks after the original release dates (among them "Before You Leap", "My Life as a Furry Red Monster", and "Street Gang"). I hope I find this at my local...

    Unofficial Script Review of the New Muppet Movie

    This is the first time I read a review of a movie script before production officially begins, so I don't know how common such things are, but this sounds like an early april fools joke to me. As if they celebrate the holiday two weeks early, and don't say "april fools" at the end. It's hard...

    The Darkwing Duck Thread

    Has anybody here ever played the video game? I have a copy of the game boy game, but I've never gotten past the first level. I rented it for Nintendo a long time ago, and when I did I made it to the part where Darkwing fights Quackerjack, but never defeated him. Youtube has a play-through...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    I recall that list including Showered Rossell, who was a Sesame Street character (I think everybody thought he meant Louis Kazagger). I think that Annie Sue Pig and Thog were also on that list, yet weren't made as figures (Thog was only made as a mini-PVC). But it did include Lips, who is...
