    Harvey Kneeslapper's guitar prank

    That was funny. Though it also would have been funny if Little Jerry did play correctly, but the slime pit out at Harvey, missing Little Jerry in the process.

    What if there was a Sesame Street Fest?

    I was thinking that. Steve Whitmire could perform Kermit as a reporter interviewing the fans. Muppetfest has Elmo despite the fact that Henson no longer owned Elmo at the time. Then again, Sesame Workshop is a smaller company than Disney, and who knows how Disney would feel if Sesame Workshop...

    What if there was a Sesame Street Fest?

    Such a convention could also include tributes to Jim Henson, Richard Hunt, Joe Raposo, Jeff Moss, Jon Stone, Jim Thurman, and possibly others, though it might take up a lot of time. Perhaps there could be a time where the people remember those who ahve passed on, some talk about their memories...

    What if there was a Sesame Street Fest?

    Wouldn't it be great if there was a Sesame Street Fest, similar to Muppetfest? How would you want it to be done? I had planed on making a fake report of this on April Fools Day, but then forgot. But here's what I would like to have happen: It would be a three-day thing, on a friday night and...

    MTM Interview

    The Muppets Take Manhatan DVD includes interviews with Jim Henson. Obviously, they are all from the same production (or at least produced at the same time), but does anybody know what this interview was shot for? Was it filmed for Henson's Place? Was it an interview for a talk show or...

    Were these behind-the-scenes clips in Henson's Place?

    In the A&E Biography special on Sesame Street, there are two behind-the-scenes clips for segments from the 1980s. One is from the sketch where Ernie dresses up a snowman using Bert's hat and scarf, and ht eother is from the skit where Grover works at a mexican resturaunt. Since those two skits...

    TMS Season 2 coming August 7, 2007

    It's just a shame that Jerry Juhl never provided audio commentary on any Muppet DVDs. I don't know if he would have wanted to give commentary, though. It's a shame that he didn't accompany Brian Henson on the MCC and MTI audio commentaries. And of course it's a shame that Jim Henson died years...

    "If I ran the Muppets" thread. Post YOUR good ideas HERE!

    Another idea is for a book featuring a guide to The Mupet Show episodes, plus other goodies. It would be similar to The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family (and it's follow-ups). Each episode would have a page or two, with plot descriptions, sketch listings, quotes, character...

    TMS Season 2 coming August 7, 2007

    THE MORSELS BETTER APPEAR ON THE NEXT SET! But commentary on a few episodes would also be good. Dinosaurs: The Complete Seasosn 3 and 4 got commentary, even though the complete seasons 1 and 2 didn't. Maybe commentary could be provided for the episodes with Steve Martin, Rudolph Nureyev, and...

    Roosevelt Franklin's Voice

    It's been speculated (I don't know if there are any official sources for this information) that Matt Robinson stopped playing Gordon to focus on a producing career, but he still could have performed the voice of Roosevelt Franklin. Since he only performed the voice, he obviously wouldn't have...

    Characters who should have been babies

    I don't think Sam's roles in post-Henson movies was expanded that much. His big scenes in MCC and MWoO were basically cameos, and his scenes in MFS and IAVMMCM were short cameos, similar to the cameos in GMC. Sure, they weren't major, but some of them (Floyd, Robin, maybe Lew Zealand and...

    Roosevelt Franklin's Voice

    ctually, I think that Roosevelt's voice sounds completely different from Matt Robinsons natural voice (assuming that Robinson didn't talk in a phony voice when playing Gordon).

    "If I ran the Muppets" thread. Post YOUR good ideas HERE!

    Another thing I would do: I would make a deal with whoever owns the distrbution rights to the 1980s comic strip and release a book or two of every Muppet comic strip, in chronological order.

    Muppet's From Space: Hidden Stars

    Some of the things I was really thankful for in the movie: *the fact that, after 15 years, the Muppets were playing theselves in a movie again. *The fact that The Electric Mayhem bus was used. *The fact that many old characters from The Muppet Show were used, along with the theatrical...

    Bad Bart Appearances

    I wonder if the "five good men needed to capture Bad Bart" sketch was his first appearance. That one seems different from later appearances, where he turns out to not be as mean as he appears. Instead, in that appearance it seems like he really is a bad guy. I looked at the Muppet Wiki page...

    Timestamps are wrong

    I noticed it in the thread for the possible upcomming Sesame Street figures thread. I hope that there aren't any posts that people respond to that get posted before the thread they were responding to, or else it would seem weird and confusing.

    Bad Bart Appearances

    Considering the fact that Jim Henson performed both Bad Bart and Sinister Sam, I wonder why both characters were neccessary. I wonder which one was introduced first.

    What if The Muppet Show Live was broadcast on television?

    TMS Season 2 coming August 7, 2007

    I'm sure that it did air on some indepednant ABC stations. As well as some independant CBS and NBC stations.;)

    The Return of "Muppet What-Ifs?"

    Then we'd all be super happy.
