A few years ago back when I still had a company building puppets for other people we did this hand puppet called Ned (for a picture click here and look at the "Ned" photo). Ned was "inspired" by an old FP Ernie hand puppet the puppeteer brought in (you can see it lying on the workshop table in...

I've got a couple of the VHS collections new in the original boxes and I've been looking to unload them cheap. I'll check tonight and see to what extent the Grinch appears in them. I'd also be willing to trade them for a copy of the "Dog City" episode of the Jim Henson Hour or any tapes of...

While it's true the FBI probably won't come knocking down your door you should be aware of the absolute legal facts Mike: 1. Reproducing anyone else's original work (unless it is in the public domain or you obtain permission) is illegal. There are no exceptions or loopholes around it. You can...

I love Pets! I've never seen a full episode though....just clips on the web. BTW, there's a great Kevin Smith-ish movie on the web called "Sam". Anyone else seen it?

Yeah, what these shows are doing are positioning themselves as "anti-Muppet". They are lampooning the audience's perception of the Muppets, not necessarily the Muppets themselves. And the thing is, this all was done years ago by Peter Jackson's Meet The Feebles. All these other shows (Crank...

Hmmm....strange. I'll do that Warrick. BTW - I was going to formally announce this later - but I'm starting a new Forum over at bear-town.com which is the website of the new all-puppet indie film project I am involved in. We're hoping to film in mid-2004 and the website is there to help with...

How about "Lord of the Rings." How would everyone cast that?

Since I got some answers last time I posted an unusual question about Muppet Central here's another for the moderators: do you have any "hidden" forums for moderator-only discussion threads, for things like keeping up-to-date with what's going on with the site. I'm curious mainly because I am...

Two words: Christmas sales! And if there's something in the works for the fall we should here something in the next two months.....

I think that is the only one that is very detailed. There's a small booklet on his early years in Jim Henson: The Works and more on his high school / college years in Designs and Doodles but otherwise that's about it. I've always wondered why they haven't done a Biography of him on A&E.

My understanding was last summer it was cut back to only a few full time people as a cost saving measure. The shop staff had been around 30 and my impression was they were employees. One would assume that they still "crew up" with a lot of these folks when they are needed as their experience is...

I just read this today, but congrats to all those talented folks in NY! You deserve it! :)

The plush hand puppet of Tutter is very cute, but I am not sure if they are still available. I picked mine up two years ago in a discount bin at a Toys R Us.

This is very true, RIT and Tintex are really intended for natural fibres like cotton I think. I'm by no means an expert on dye (I actually get other people to dye antron now) but I know from experience RIT does not always come out the correct colour (I imagine because it's nylon). Tintex is...

Thanks for posting this Luke, do you know if there is an online version of Broadcast?

Has there been any more news on this yet? Most stations have released their fall schedules, but haven't heard anything about CTS. BTW - has anyone seen the puppets they have on their show "TQ"?

I think it's a double edged sword.....for one thing, if PBS was better funded in the U.S. (and not by endless pledge-a-thons) they would be able to produce more shows like Reading Rainbow that served a small audience. At the same time, keeping a show like "Reading Rainbow" (which started...

Oh sorry. lol :rolleyes: Missed that. The brands vary quite a bit in each region and here in Canada we have very different stuff. Krylon is considered very good though.

Most craft stores sell clear plastic balls to be hung on Christmas trees. They come in to two halves and can be painted or covered to be used as eyes.

I am not sure about craft stores, but most drug stores sell Tintex or RIT....as does WalMart. Even some corner stores will stock it.
