    I've read that Buster helped Don write a song once. And Don Music has made appearances without Kermit. In one of them, he was a contestant on Guy Smiley's game show Mystery Guest.

    New Christmas Toy DVD soon?

    So far there has been no official announcement for this release. Maybe Hit does have plans, maybe it was a rumor, or maybe Hit did have plans but cancled them. Well, Hit still has between now and 2009 to release it on DVD.

    Eren Ozker's Singing

    There have been many sources that mention certain performers either thinking that their singing voices weren't good or that the performers had terriffic singing voices. Among those known to have had good singing voices include Richard Hunt, Jerry Nelson, and Louise Gold (the Muppet Central guide...

    Will there be a Jim Henson Hour DVD?

    It would be great to see the MuppeTelevision segments on DVD. I'd rather see a DVD release of MuppeTelevision than Muppets Tonight, which is rumored to be planned for release after the fifht season of The Muppet Show get's released.

    origins of Richard Hunt characters

    I have noticed that while the origins of various Sesame Street characters have been mentioned in various books, interviews, and what not, there is very few sources out there that talk about the origins of Richard Hunt's characters. Has anybody ever wondered about the oriigns of Hunt's...

    no Sesame humans in Muppet crossovers

    Has anybody ever noticed that despite the many crossovers between the Muppet Show Muppets and the Sesame Street Muppets, none of the Sesame Street human characters have ever crossed-over with the Muppets? The closest things I can think of to having Sesame Street humans in muppet productions...

    Why didn't Jim Henson direct The Muppet Movie?

    Does anybody ever wonder why Jim Henson didn't direct The Muppet Movie? I thought that Jim Henson would have wanted to be a film director, yet for the Muppets big-screen debut, James Frawlry, who as far as I know had no previous experience with The Muppets, directed it. One of the muppet...

    Sesame Street DVD set on Deep Discount

    Eh, a few weeks ago I started to notice that most official sources for the release of this set came from info provided by e-mail from Sesame Workshop, rather than official press releases.

    News Flash: Rapunzel (1971)

    It seems like Frank Oz was assigned female roles alot, even though Jerry Nelson could do more different female voices.

    Jim Henson on the 1990 Mickey Mouse Club

    I read this article a long time ago. One thing I found intersting: the writer says that he attended Muppetfest, and he talked about his experience meeting Henson on the show with some of the performers there, who apparantly remembered it, but it seems like he didn't tell anybody at Muppetfest...

    who's that muppet in 30th anniversary logo?

    I think that character looks like Gonzo, but5 Gonzo is at another area of the logo. None of the other characters were drawn twice on there. I wonder if that character is from Little Muppet Monsters. After all, some of the main characters from that show were in the logo (though it is hard to see...

    What's Your Opinion of "Learning About Letters"

    Learning About Letters is my favorite Sesame Street video about the alphabet. Though it was made in 1986, none of the segments are from the 1980s. Most are either from 1969 or the early 1970s. And it features almost every main Muppet character from 1986, with the exceptions of The Count and...

    News Flash: Rapunzel (1971)

    Jerry Nelson performed Rupunzel. The Announcer appeared off-screen, so it's not like he was busy performing another character.

    Working with Frank Oz.

    I can't really tell the difference between good and bad puppetry much (unless the bad puppetry is intentional), but I wonder how Spinney was able to be so good as Oscar. Of course, during the first season whenever Oscar was in his trash can Spinney had to perform Oscar with his left hand instead...

    Working with Frank Oz.

    Caroll Spinney didn't realy talk about why he hardly had any regulars in his autobiography, but there are some things he said that seemed to contradict this. Regarding the fact that it took Jim Henson over a year to get Caroll pinney involved with the company, Spinney said that Henson asked...
