    MuppeTelevision: less songs?

    Is it just me, or did all of the MuppeTelevision segments from The Jim Henson Hour have only two musical numbers? From what I know, Science Fiction has Neutron Dance and Chattanooga Choo-Choo, Aquatic Life has Splish Splash and Maneater, Monster Telethon has The Lion Sleeps Tonight and Sweet...

    Kermit's first Sam & Friends episode question

    Maybe he was in the first episode, maybe he wasn't.

    Bunsen and Beaker at the Science Fair

    Last week I wrote a fan fic called Happy Birthday Sweetums! which included a mention of Bunsen and Beaker being at a science fair. Well, that was menat as a brief "preview" of this fan fic. Enjoy! Chapter 1 Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker had made it to the science fair, and had set up their...

    SST Outline : Baby Bear finds a cat

    That was good, though I think Every Kitty Sleeps debuted in season 37.

    longer music numbers

    I wonder if Jim Henson would have wanted musical numbers to be logner if The Muppet Show was produced today. It seems like songs are getting longer these days. Back in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s it seems like the average song was around 2 or 3 minutes, but now it seems like the average song is...

    The Muppets Take Manhattan behind the scenes

    The Secrets of the Muppets doesn't have any behind-the-scenes footage from The Muppets Take Manhattan, though some clips from the movie are in the opening clip montage montage. The special has a section on the making of the bicycle scenes from the first two movies, but no behind-the-scenes...

    Little Muppet Monsters is on Youtube

    I recently posted a thread on whether Jim Henson and CBS might have given this show more ofa chance if either the show was completely live aciton or completely animated, and watching this, I think it could have succeeded if given a chance (though you could say that about almost any short-lived...

    John Landis in "The Muppets Take Manhattan"

    Jim Henson made a cameo in Into the Night as "Man on Phone" (this is the other movie to reference Frank Oz's real name), and Richard Hunt played Wilson in Trading Places (in which Frank Oz also made a cameo as "Corrupt Cop"). And An American Werewolf in London featured a clip from The Muppet...

    John Landis in "The Muppets Take Manhattan"

    And Muppet performer and MTM director Frank Oz made cameos in some of Landis' films. I tink I've read somewhere that Frank Oz wanted Landis to make a cameo in The Muppets Take Manhattan since he'd made cameos in John Landis' movies and wanted him to cameo in his solo directorial debut. Other...

    The Muppets Take Manhattan behind the scenes

    I wonder where the interview footage originated. It's not in Henson's Place, where I would have expected it to be. I also notieced that The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson has quite a few behind-the-scenes clips included. One that I found odd was footage of the cast on stage singing Right Where I...

    A FASA Meeting

    Maybe this would make a better list of members, grouping by project: Muppets Kermit the Frog Miss Piggy Fozzie Bear Gonzo (maybe) Rizzo the Rat Sam the Eagle Animal (maybe) Camillia Rowlf Bear Sesame Street Big Bird Oscar the Grouch (maybe) Elmo (maybe) Cookie Monster...

    A FASA Meeting

    I wonder if one of the problems is having it be a meeting, as opposed to maybe a FASA-sponsored event. I wonder if organizations like this would normaly have meetings for all of it's members. And I guess that an organization for fictional animal starts would have more members as well. In The...

    The MuppetCast - Show #55 - Bunny Week!

    I don't know if this is what you meant or not, but I know that the introduction from The Jim Henson Hour episode The Ratings Game had Jim Henson wishing viewers a happy mothers day (even though the rest of the episode had nothing to do with mother's day). It's so interesting that you mention...

    A FASA Meeting

    Yeah, I thought this up recently, showing what a FASA meeting might be like. Maybe the mistake was just wanting to cover one meeting. Or maybe I should have had it lead to an adventure of some sort. Since this is a Muppet forum then I tried to have a bit of Muppet presence, so I made it Miss...

    The Henson.com Action Figure Poll

    Does anybody remember the poll that henson.com held on it's website back in may 2001, regarding a Muppet action figure line? This was a few months before it was announced that Palisades would make the figures. When the poll was mad,e it was said that there were plans for a colection of...

    "Big Bird Goes Hollywood" commercial

    I found a You Tube comercial for the first Sesame Street Live show, for a 1984 performance. You Tube has quite a few clips from Sesame Street Live shows, as well as commercialos, but nothing for The Muppet Show on Tour.

    NBC Time and Again: Jim Henson?

    It's been a long time since I saw it, and I can't find my copy. I wanted to create a page for it on Muppet Wiki but wasn't sure if I should create it based on memory or not. But Time and Again is/ was an MSNBC documentary series hoste dby Jane Pauley of The Today Show. The Jim Henson docuemntary...

    Happy Birthday Sweetums!

    chapter 7 Sweetums was struggling to swim to the door. And the water suddenly stoped leaking. The evil donkey then opened the door. "Ha, ha, ha", laughed the donkey, "You probably thought that there'd be enough water for you to escape, but I planned it this way. I am going to turn the steam...
