    Your Thoughts: Ed Sullivan Muppets Magic DVD

    Is it being widely released? I had the impression it was more of a specialty/limited release. I haven't seen it here, but then I had trouble finding Kermit's Swamp Years in a Canadian store!

    Shocked

    Let's just back the truck up here a moment Beau. First of all, I'll fess up to being one of the folks who complained about the links. It wasn't personal and had nopthing to do with freedom of speech. I personally complained for the following reasons: #1 - I really do think posting the...

    The Muppet Show airs daily in Toronto starting September 1st

    No, I don't think they showed it which doesn't surprise me. I'm hoping that maybe Family Channel will pick the show up nationally if it does well on CTS (Muppets Tonight was on Family for a few years). Family is commercial-free so they would likely run the unedited shows.

    MC Member Link Exchange?

    Hi all, I posted this is the Puppetry Forum too, but I thought I would add it here in case some visitors don't read that forum. I've recently put up a links page for my Web site www.bear-town.com and I would love to do some link exchanges with other MCers so we can promote each other's sites...

    The Muppet Show airs daily in Toronto starting September 1st

    Which sketch is the UK sketch? It seemed to be the same version of the Jim Nabors show I had seen before (the edited version) but I don't have it on DVD or VHS of the unedited show to compare it to something.

    Opus and Bloom Country is Back!

    Ain't It Cool News is reporting that Berkeley Breathed's Opus the Penguin is returning to a new syndicated newspaper strip AND to a screen near you soon! Breathed's popular strip Bloom Country ran through the 1980s and was spun off in 1989 to a Sunday-only strip featuring the same characters...

    Your Thoughts: Ed Sullivan Muppets Magic DVD

    Amazon is apparently shipping this. I checked for it at a local DVD store and while they didn't have it in stock they were under the impression that it could be ordered immeadately. I think the big chains like Best Buy, Future Shop, etc. often have product shipped from a central warehouse and...

    Another CA Job Opportunity

    I am not that familiar with the West Coast scene, but (if you are not already a member) if you are a puppeteer in LA you should join the LA Puppet Guild, which is affliated with Puppeteers of America. Most of the top professionals in LA are members and you can probable make good contacts at...

    Food For Thought

    I know we generally try to avoid political discussion here, but I read this on Scott McCloud's daily Blog (www.scottmccloud.com/comics/mi/mi.html) and thought I would share it with everyone: Off-topic-but-I've-got-to-tell-somebody: Our friend Theresa was talking to some co-workers on...

    Did Richard Hunt REALLY have AIDS?

    I don't think Richard's illness was "a secret" but it was just not widely discussed. As I mentioned above, I believe the news reports of his death mentioned AIDS. From what I have read here in Muppet Central articles and elsewhere many of the Henson people did not know much about Richard's...

    The Muppet Show airs daily in Toronto starting September 1st

    I don't think they'll be doing that unfortunately. :cry: CTS is a commercial network and they run programs at the same length as most US channels. When any of the Muppet series (like Muppets Tonight) air on the non-commercial channels here like Treehouse and Family they have traditionally run...

    Oscar the Grouch at museum in D.C.!

    I think that they have several Muppets (including Bert and Ernie) as part of their permanent collection and they just rotate the display occasionally. The JHC also has a live exhibit division and they have loaned/rented pieces to the Smithsonian. There are lots of other places to see real...

    Did Richard Hunt REALLY have AIDS?

    I think it is only natural for people to be curious about the death of public figure (especially a much-loved one like Richard), but it has been very apparent that the Henson folks and Richard's family have been reluctant to discuss the specifics of Richard's illness. They appear to have chosen...

    Contact cement

    Just realized none of us ever really answered Mike's original question about how to use contact cement. The basic are: - You have to keep it tighly sealed when not in use. - It should be applied using a stick or cheap brush. - If you use a brush it should be kept in a jar of water so it...
