    Rowlf and Sam before Here Come the Muppet

    Before Here Comes the Muppets, there was a pre-show featuring Rowlf and Sam the Eagle. Does anybody remember what happened in this pre-show? Was it actually tapped for the attraction, or could it have been a clip of the song *** Willow? After all, I remember it having the same setting, though I...

    Ninja Turtles at Walt Disney World

    During the week in 1995 that I went to Walt Disney World, I saw some kind of brochure that advertised various attractions, and in a page featuring the turtles, I think there was a note saying that they were going to be there untill a certain time. I wasn't sure if they were really leaving on...

    Spinney article

    That article sounds cool, but parts of it sound like this is made up. It's interesting that Caroll Spinney thought that Snuffy being thought of as imaginary was annoying.

    Ninja Turtles at Walt Disney World

    When I went to Walt Disney World in 1991 and 1995, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were at the MGM studios to sign autographs. Does anybody know why they were there? How long did they make appearances at the theme park? Could The Walt Disney Company have been interested in buying the Ninja...

    TMS season 2 episodes wher Beaker talks the way we know him to talk

    In Beaker's first few appearances, his language was mostly yells, gulps, grunts, and screams, and otherwise making it seem like he was too afraid to talk or stuttered so badly that he couldn't say anything past the first sound of what he was saying. However, in the Peter Sellers episode, he...

    Yellow Submarine/ Capital I

    Today, I heard the song Yellow Submarine on the radio. This was the first time that I ever actually heard the song. So I was wondering... was Capital I meant to sound like Yellow Submarine? The lyrics sound a bit similar. The melody and music is different, but some of the lyrics are similar...

    The Scoffs

    Okay, so in many character listings, the two vulture-like frackles are referred to as Green Scoff and Blue Scofff. However, in the transcript at Tough Pigs, the blue scoff refers to itself as Scoff in a song where some of the frackles refer to their own names. It is never specifically said if...

    The Sales Pieces

    I think Kermit was a frog by then. He had his collar in that sales piece, and he was referred to as a frog as early as The Muppets On Puppets, in which he still wore his orange sweater and didn't have a collar.

    Not toatally clear

    Both characters were created for The Great Santa Clause Switch, where they were known as Frackles. Gonzo was called Cigar Box Frackle in that special but also went by the name Snarl in a song, and Droop was called P.J. Dripsnout in the design sketches but was referred to in a song as Snivelly...

    I have heard that Kevin Clash was a puppeteer on Captain Kangaroo long before performing on Sesame Street (maybe even long before performing on The Great Space Coaster).

    Kermit's poor bicycle skills

    In the Ford Hybrid commercial, Kermit actually seemed to have trouble riding a bike, but he didn't have any accidents. In the other productiosn I mentioned, it was the other way around. I know that Kermit rode a bike in Muppets On Wheels. Did he have any accidents there? Speaking of...

    Compilation Fan Fic: "From the Muppets Tonight Basement"

    so, nobody has commented on this? That's a bit strange. I would have thought I'd have some replies considering how original this is. I don't think anybody else has written any Muppets Tonight compilation scripts.

    Pops falls in love

    That was good. Was Bill supposed to be Bill the Bubble Guy? Or maybe even Bill the Frog? Or is this Bill not any specific muppet?
