    Little things we've noticed

    Seems they've been inconsistent with the title of "ABC Disco". That title was used on the video Dance-Along, this is the first I've heard of the "Grover Travolta Alphabet Song" alternate title, the chapter stops on A Celebration of Me, Grover identifies it as "Alphabet Fever" (but I guess a...

    Camille Bonora appreciation thread

    Hopefully this thread won't get too off-topic, but... Muppet Wiki has a quote from Brian Meehl about why he left, which doesn't say anything about lack of recognition or money. It does say that one of his reasons for leaving was because he wasn't seeing his wife and kids enough (in fact...

    Camille Bonora appreciation thread

    Really, you don't get paid for it? Reportedly Richard Hunt was happy with how much he made on his first paycheck (not even expecting to make that much), and Martin Robinson has said that working for the Muppets was the first time he ever had his own money. And of course Caroll Spinney took a pay...

    The Muppet Mindset

    Yesterday The Muppet Mindset started Throw Penguins Thursday, where an older article is posted again. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, it does draw attention to older articles that newer readers may not be familiar with. On the other, it could cause a lot of impatience from...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    Well I just learned in another thread that all of the Ed Sullivan appearances included at The Paley Center for Media are in color and part of a compilation donated by Henson (and that only two appearances are not available there, I wonder if Henson has those missing segments in its archives). So...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Top ten Muppet specials I'd most like to see the original TV promos for (assuming there were): 10. Big Bird in China 9. The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence 8. The Frog Prince 7. Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas 6. Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting (I have a slight feeling I had seen the...

    When you hit the share photos button and your photos appear, just click on whatever photos you want to share (my phone has a 30-photos-at-a-time limit) and you can share them all at once (a check mark appears on the photos you've clicked on to share). In the movie 10 Things I Hate About You...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4525 - Grover Does It All

    Well I've found Estimation Vacation on YouTube. Watching it, I'm convinced that it was Eric performing/voicing Bert. Though I don't know the reason why Frank is no longer credited. Maybe it's because he didn't perform this season (though he was credited in seasons 41 and 44 but wasn't...

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    Yeah I read on Muppet Wiki last night that only two Sullivan appearances are not available there. I wonder if the Henson Archives has those appearances. Lately I have been thinking about how it seems like most (if not all) of the Henson Company's copies of the appearances on The Ed Sullivan...

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    So I wonder how many Sullivan appearances that didn't make their way to the Muppets Magic DVD are left to surface online. There's "Come Together" and the Jimmy Dean/Rowlf appearance. Have the other versions of "Java" and "I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face" shown up online (those two numbers...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    It seems like the majority of the copies of Ed Sullivan Show appearances that The Jim Henson Company Archives has are in black and white (or at least I assume that whenever a Muppet clip from that show is used in a Henson retrospective or screening the copy comes from the Henson Company Archives...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    I've had the songs from Team America: World Police in my head recently. Especially "I'm So Ronery", "Only a Woman", and "Pearl Harbor Sucks".

    Questions about anything

    Not sure if anyone here would actually know the answer, but... In Back to the Future, when Loraine convinces her parents that they should let Marty spend the night, she suggestively offers to let him stay in her room, in front of the parents. The parents don't seem to suspect anything raunchy...

    Peppermint... STINKIN...Park. Terrible Kid's show

    After being informed that a TV Tropes page for this show was made, I decided to seek out some clips. And the first two I watched happened to be the first two in the first post of this thread (so Dr. Tooth was right about the M segment being the first many of us have seen). According to TV...

    TV Tropes

    Was just looking at The Obi-Wan, and started wondering if there should be a Yoda equivalent. Mainly for wise characters who start out as silly/annoying to the main characters before becoming more serious. The only other example for that I can think of is Rafiki from The Lion King, who...

    The Muppets Celebrate Frank Oz

    This fan fic took me an hour and a half to complete (I watched three episodes of The Muppet Show while writing this). Also, I came up with this idea yesterday. There are some things I was considering doing. One of my ideas was for Frank Oz to arrive late because Grover was supposed to pick...

    Camille Bonora appreciation thread

    I did start a Camille Bonora appreciation thread a few months ago, nobody seemed to reply to it though. Camille sure was a great performer. I like the little girl voices she did, for such characters as Kai-Lee and Ruby Monster. And I like the more pompous voices, like the one for Meteora...

    The Muppets Celebrate Frank Oz

    In honor of Frank Oz's birthday, enjoy this fan fic celebrating Oz's birthday. "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for The Muppets Celebrate Frank Oz, in which the Muppets honor the one and only Frank Oz, respected film director and puppeteer. And now, here's Kermit the Frog!" "Hi ho and...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    Last night, I found a promo for a broadcast of The Frog Prince as part of Nickelodeon's Sunday Night Muppets. In the promo, it said that Muppet specials would be broadcast every Sunday that month. Now I remember if being two months, the months of November and December 1992 (and I recall The Frog...
