    Sam And Friends

    Jim Henson only saved a small amount of Sam And Friends episodes. back when the show was made, most shows were broadcast live and a lot of shows were not saved, mostly due to the high cost of film and because many people didn't think that people would want to see the same television program more...

    Questions about the Playhouse Videos

    I don't really feel comfortable with buying or trading things over the internet. At least not for right now. If I was comfortable than I would probably have a lot of Muppet and Sesame Street stuff that I have been wanting for awhile by now. Also, if I tried E-Bay, then I would probably get...

    Big Bird in China or Japan?

    I thought that most of the characters in those specials are still around, in some cases more than they were in the 1980s and 1990s, when Jim henson and Frank Oz were often unavailable. The only character in Don't eat The Pictures who I don't think is around as much anymore is The Count. The...

    Peter Friedmans performances

    I eant to say that this is the only first season epsiode where he performed multiple voices. For some reason my computer wouldn't let me edit my post. This is the first time i was prevented from editing.

    Peter Friedmans performances

    I have noticed that in most of The Muppet Show episodes that peter Friedman performed in, he normally got at least one big role. However, most of those roles were in music numbers, where the voices were mostly pre-recorded. I have read that Jim Henson did the actual performing of the lead singer...

    Planned but never finished

    I thought I'd start a thread concerning henson productions that were planned but were never made, or at least weren't completed. Here are some of the things that I know of: Movies An italian Film (without muppets or creatures) a Dinosaurs movie The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made...

    Appearances by Quongo Peter Sellers: he appears in Muppet labs and in the goodnights. Raquel welch: I think he appeared in the cold opening. Beverly Sills: He leaves the stage after Kermit decides to cancle the openign number (which was supposed to be a chineese gorrillia dancing ballet)...

    Life-changing question!!

    Most of the Sabbaba muppet plush toys didn't really look too great. The Fraggle Rock plush toys from sabbaba look really good, so I don't know why the muppets can't look as great. It's a wonder that Palisades Toys can give Animal a hair sculpt that looks more accurate than the hair that Sabbaba...

    An Animated Sesame Street series

    I often think about an animated Sesame Street show. It would be cool. If it were done in the 1980s and 1990s, then Ernie, Bert, Cookie Monster, and Grover could have appeared on the street more often than they did on the show. I wonder kind of format an animated Sesame Street would have...

    The Henson Connection

    George Lucas originally offered the role of Yoda to Jim Henson, who was too busy to be involved with The Empire strikes back and recommended Frank Oz, who has performed Yoda in every Star Wars movie since. kathy Mullen also performed Yodas right hand in The Empire Strikes back.

    Head of MHC fired by new Disney CEO!!

    I wouldn't complain about Bob Iger wanting to get the existing muppet library of titles released soon. So far Disney hasn't really marketed much existing muppet titles on DVD or television, and the stuff that Disney has made available are stuff that I would have expected to be released. I would...

    Life-changing question!!

    Well, one reason is probably because the Jim henson Company was really picky about how Miss Piggy should look in merchandise. I do not know if Disney is as picky or not. i guess we'll just have to wait untill there starst to be a lot of new Miss Piggy dolls (approved by Disney and not henson)...

    Your Thoughts: Emmet Otter DVD

    Kermits final sceen was cut from the Columbia/ tri-Star release, so editing the two DVD releases together wouldn't get you an uncut copy.

    Did all of the characters who visited Scooter request songs or stories? Did the fish request Friendship or Octopuses Garden?

    Your Thoughts: Emmet Otter DVD

    So, Disney refused to allow Kermits scenes to be included after all? Thats terrible! :mad: I wonder why Disney wouldn't allow kermit in the DVD release. Disney allows for Kermits old scenes to be on Sesame Street. I don't think that Hit! is a major competitor against Disney. It's not like it is...

    Questions about the Playhouse Videos

    That's weird that Waldorf appeared but Statler didn't. Yes, I know Richard Hunt was performing Scooter, but Statler still could have made an appearance, or Waldorf could have been left out. Were any clips with Statler shown? Who performed the fish (I'm guessing Jim Henson, since he performed the...
