    Sesame Street honored at the Daytime Emmys

    It really was impressive all the Sesame characters and celebrities they had on stage. Very cool to hear them all singing "Sing" at the same time with one another. The celebrity clips from over the years were also enjoyable.

    The Networks and The Muppet Show

    The major networks (CBS, ABC, NBC) knew the Muppets potential to reach children, but they didn't think a Muppet Show would reach adults. The US networks produced two pilots in 1974 (The Muppets Valentine Show) and 1975 (The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence) but they didn't want to take the gamble...

    Somebody's getting mar-ried...

    Congratulations Sammie! We're so happy for you. For those who don't know, Sammie (and her mom) were two of the earliest visitors to Muppet Central way back in early 1998. Now Sammie is grown up and getting married. *sniff sniff* Time flies so fast. So, how did Brent propose? When will the...

    Your Feedback: Muppet Central Radio on Live365

    1. "Up on the Roof" is from the Dennis Quaid episode of Muppets Tonight. It sounds like someone else recorded the song previously. Don't know who. Maybe someone can confirm if this is the case. 2. "A Family" is from The Muppet Musicians of Bremen. The animals are looking in and see shadows of...

    How did Pepe become so popular?

    For many, Pepe was the biggest highlight of the 1999 film Muppets from Space. He also was chosen as spokeshrimp for Long John Silver's in 2001. Both of these avenues along with Bill Baretta's comic timing greatly helped bring Pepe to the forefront.

    Muppet Show DVD's on clearance until June 30

    Well, if worse came to worse you could maybe buy the 15 disc set for $51 (with the 15% discount). They'd be just a little more than if you bought the 5 discs seperately for $10 each. You could then put the 10 disc set up on eBay or offer it in trade to another forum member.

    What IS the name of that song?

    Wendy, I think you are refering to "Listen to the Music" sung by David (Northern Calloway) and the Ringers. It's from the 1977 album "Let Your Feelings Show". You can hear the song on Muppet Central Radio. http://www.muppetcentral.com/radio/

    Muppet Show DVD's on clearance until June 30

    Columbia's deal runs out later this year, so there will be no more Muppet Show DVD's from them. Whether or not Disney releases uncut TMS episodes remains to be seen. Disney may just put the show back on TV and not release any episodes on DVD.

    1-2-3-4-5!

    I haven't watched this in awhile, but I do have it on tape. I knew it more from the LP than the show as it didn't seem to air a lot on the show.
