    Flash and Boomhauer

    Has anybody noticed similarities between Flash and King of the Hill's Boomhauer? Both characters talk in ways that are hard for the viewer to understand, yet the other on-screen characters cna understand them (though in the case of Flash, it seem slike only Clifford can understand him). Both...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    I liked the special. It would have been great if it had more adult humor (and more characters), but it's okay. It's interesting how the Muppets were usually just hanging out in the apartment building hallway. Claire's apartment was the only one that we really saw the inside of. And it feels...

    Speculation: The Muppets' 55th Anniversary Celebrations

    I agree, with next year being the 55th anniversary (and hopefully celebrated officially by Disney) and assuming the new movie comes out as planned, I hope that there's a lot of cool Muppet merchandise, available at a wide variety of retailers (and not just the Disney parks or primarily available...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 3

    So I guess you'd like The Kermit and Miss Piggy Story, since that video has scenes from their appearances on the show.

    Muppet Event in Orlando, Florida

    For those who were there, I have heard on an epsiode of The MuppetCast that they screened Jim Henson's number films from Sesame Street. Was the rare Henson #1 screened?

    Disney greenlights "The Muppet Show" comics

    Roger Landgridge has said in interviews that he wants the comic to be like a lost episode of The Mupet Show, but that'd be hard without a guets star (and I've seen an interview where he says the first four issues won't have guest stars). It also would be hard without music numbers, and I doubt...

    The Solid Foam Band

    I didn't know Clash voiced Animal. I think Muppet Wiki says it was Rob Mills. But Animal's dialogue isn't that clear. It would make sense for somebody else to perform Zoot sicne Goezl was performing Digit, but Clash was performing Clifford as well as Zoot. And the song audio is recorded...

    Any News on More SST Old School?

    I have a feeling that this 40th anniversary set will contain some street stories. Here are some that I'd like to see included: Episode 2, in which Oscar moves away from Sesame Street. Big Bird wants to go to day care. the season two Sesame Street Pet Show episode. Luis and Rafael open the...

    Who's going to see Disney's the Princess and the Frog

    No, no it isn't, and there haven't been any official announcements over such a release.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 3

    Okay... Finally... Here are my opinions on the remainign episodes, and the special features. Roger Miller - five stars Roger Miller worked so well with the Muppets. It's a shame he didn't do more with them. His numbers just keep getting better in the epsidoe. The Cluck-Itis runnign gag is...

    Your Thoughts: The Christmas Toy DVD

    I know that you checked on this back in 2005, but did you check again recently when The Christmas Toy was released? Because I wonder if Henson even bothered this time around to try to get permission to show Kermit's scenes. When you mention the gues tappearances stipulations, are you...

    Who's going to see Disney's the Princess and the Frog

    I had this thought for awhile as well, though my thought was for it to be released on DVD as it's own main feature when the movie is released in theaters.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 3

    And now, here are my thoughts on the disc 3 epsiodes, but first, I'd like to talk about something. I had previously thought that The Muppet Movie was made after this season was completed, but before the DVD release I had read on the Tough Pigs forum that it was made between the Helen Reddy and...

    Regarding the Muppet Show's Orchestra...

    Somethign that I just recently started noticing is that the Muppet orchestra was often seen out of the pit. The orchestra musicians would be shown on-stage or backstage, and it got me wodnering, is it normal for orchestra musicians to leave the orchestra pit when they are not needed?

    Any News on More SST Old School?

    I've had some thoughts about this 40th anniversary release for soem time now. Since it's a two-disc collection, my preference would be that it have two or three hours worth of material on each disc. But I've noticed that on teh Old School sets that there isn't a "play all" feature for multiple...

    The Brand New Ask Jim Lewis Thread

    Well, I haven't been able to post in awhile, but now that I'm back, I have a few questions. If you can remember, was Nigel the onyl name for the Muppets Tonight Nigel, or did his name have any extentions, like "Nigel the Director" (which is what fans often call him to disambiguate him from...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 3

    Here are my thoughts on the episodes on disc 2: Alice Cooper - five stars The best part of this episode is the closing number, School's Out, which is also one of the few numbers with a group of full-body monsters where Thog is included. Loretta Lynn - five stars This episode feels more like...

    Any News on More SST Old School?

    While I expect double-dipping to be done, I hope that the release doens't double-dip anything from the Old School sets. Most of the best-known A-list songs have had many remakes over the years, some of which haven't been on DVD. I wouldn't mind it including Rubber Duckie, as long as it's the...
