    Do the Academy Awards need a new category?

    Back when The Empire Strikes Back was released, George Lucas wanted Frank Oz to be nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Yoda, but the academy didn't consider puppeteering to be acting. If there was a Best Voiceover category, then he could have been nominated. I would have...

    ITV's Best Muppet Moments on March 11

    I hope that this special get's either an american broadcast or DVD release. Or maybe it will be included as a special feature on a Muppet Show season set (assuming that Disney owns the rights to this special, but even if Disney doesn't, Disney could try to negotiate with the owners of the...

    Cookie Monster Loves His Cookies

    If Cookie Monster were concerned about the pain of taking his fur out by pulling a letter off his chest, then maybe Prairie Dawn should start putting the letter of the day on him just so he won't want to eat it (unless pulling his fur off would be worth eating the letter). :p

    Sesame Street Walkaround List

    I wonder how the Two-Headed Monster was performed as a walk-around. It would probably be hard for one person (at least one one-headed person) to wear a two-headed monster outfit without one head looking limb.

    Will they ever release a Jim Henson Hour DVD?

    Because the rights are split between companies. Disney owns the rights to the MuppeTelevision segments, Miss Piggy's Hollywood, the Dog City pre-show sequence, and the muppet-specific sequences from The Secrets of The Muppets (and I think Disney might also own the Innertube pilot, or at least...

    Who performed Warren Wolf?

    Does anybody know who performed Warren Wolf? Also, does anybody know if Warren Wolf was a regular character or just a one-shot character, appearing only in the sketch where he interviewed Dr. Nobel Price?
