    Haunted House Hams

    Chapter 4 It was 1 AM. It was getting late. Dr. Strangepork had already gone to bed, but Link was too scared to sleep. After getting covered in cobwebs earlier, all he did was pull the cobwebs off his body, so he was a bit dirty. So he decided to take a shower. He was taking a shower. He...

    Questions about Jim's cameo in GMC...

    I have also wondered that ever since I learned who the woman was. Maybe Jane didn't want to appear in the movie. Or maybe she was in the united states when the film was made.

    Haunted House Hams

    I actually wanted to start writing this story last night, but there were problems with the forum, which prevented me from posting. I actually got the idea of having this story star Link Hogthrob and Dr. Strangepork yesterday, and I thought about the plot and what all I wanted to do while I was...

    Thoughts on Convincing John

    I know. There are quite a few productions where the director also acted in. And I guess it would be easier to direct and perform in the same production if it was a puppet production, as the performers can see what is going on by looking into the monitors. Of course, I have read that there...

    Favorite Super Mario Game

    I thought that only the green Yoshi appeared in every world. I know that there was some kind of magical world that Mario could go to, I forget how, where each level had a different colored oshi, which could be used in other levels or outside of the game. I think that Super Mario World 2...

    First Muppet movie you saw in the theater?

    I was born in 1984, but I doubt that my parents would have taken me to the movies at such a young age, so I probably didn't see The Muppets Take Manhattan in theaters. As far as I know, the first Muppet movie that I saw in theaters was The Muppet Christmas Carol. I also saw Muppet Treasure...

    Haunted House Hams

    Chapter 3 Dr. Strangepork was about to answer the door, but Link ran and got in the way just in time. "NO, don't answer!", said Link, "There's an evil duck beaked bunny with spikey hands outside waiting to kill us!" "Oh, really?", said Dr. Strangepork. "Yeah, really", said Link, "It...

    Haunted House Hams

    Chapter 2 Dr. Strangepork came running to the rescue. "Where are you, Link", asked Dr. Strangepork. "I'm in my room", he cried, "Come quick! It's terrible!" Dr. Strangepork ran upstairs and into Link's room. "Vat's the matter?", asked Dr. Strangepork. "My finger is caught in...

    Thoughts on Convincing John

    I think it's strange that he wasn't used more in The Preacification of Convincing John. His name is in the title, but aside from a few mentions, he only appears in his two musical numbers. We don't even see what Mokey and Red's visit to his cave was like. For awhile, I wondered if Jim...

    Haunted House Hams

    Chapter 1 Link Hogthrob and Dr. Strangepork were riding in a carriage in a scary forrest. "Ohhhhh, I'm scarred", said Link Hogthrob, "But I can go through with this. My Uncle Austin specifically wrote in his will for me to get 50,000 dollars if I spend one night in his haunted house."...

    Old School Sesame coming to DVD October 2006

    I don't think using the word "shut up" is really that big of a deal on a kids show (though when I was in the second and third grade I thought it was a cuss word). And as for whether or not it will be included, here are a few things to consider: 1. It may depend on whether it was edited from...

    Minor Muppetz' TMS outline: Carl Reiner

    No, I wasn't concernec about you implying anyhting racist. I just didn't know what you meant. I didn't know if you thought it sounded racist or like the kind of joke that a black person would tell, and I re-read it trying to see if there was anything that could be mistaken as a hint of racism.

    Grover using contractions

    I have also read recently that Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons never uses contractions. I had not noticed untill reccently.

    Grover using contractions

    I have read that Grover does not use contractiosn when he talks (so instead of saying "Can't", he says "Can not", and instead of saying "Won't", he says "Will not"). I have read a quote from Frank Oz where he says that if Grover uses contractions in a script, Oz makes sure he does not use them...

    When did Richard Hunt start having trouble performing Sweetums?

    I don't know when he started performing. I think I've heard about Sweetums making a public appearance at the opening of The Muppet Store in the early 1980s (I can't remember if I actually read this or if I'm just thinking it). Maybe he performed Sweetums there. I wonder if Richard Hunt...

    Thoughts on Convincing John

    I just think it's odd that Mokey got Convincing John to agree to get every fraggle (except Traveling Matt, as he wasn't there) to swear off doozer towers. After Mokey releases everyone from their oath, he is convincing them to eat the towers. If I was convincing John, I would have convicned...

    When did Richard Hunt start having trouble performing Sweetums?

    I know that Richard Hunt eventually stopped performing Sweetums, sticking to just the voice, but does anybody know when he stopped performing from inside the suit? It seems like Sweetums wasn't used much during the 1980s. I only know of two Muppet Show episodes from the last season that...

    Sesame Street News: Count Dracula

    That was good. It's weird that Kermit hoped that he didn't see any more monsters. He has regularly interracted with monsters on Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, and he normally wasn't scarred of those monsters.
