Oops! No, Warrick, it's my turn to be embarrassed. Of course I meant "Big Bird or Oscar", not Grover. :o Very sorry to hear about your first signed book, Dan - but at least that mistakenly signed book went to good use after all. (Dan meant that Caroll mistakenly made out Scott M.'s book...

Um... my Swedish Chef Kitchen box is red and in the old style. Are some going out as red, and some going out as blue? --Scott McGuire

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I introduced myself to Dan and Scott H., and it was nice to put some faces with the usernames! Sorry I didn't meet the rest of you who were there. Saw the pictures, thanks, Scott... the rest of you should go check them out, they're cute! --Scott McGuire

Re: Scott, I know! They'll also be producing an amazing line of action figures! Oh wait. Palisades is already doing an amazing job of that. Never mind. :) --Scott McGuire, wondering where he's going to store all this Muppet stuff

I was at the Harvard Square book signing too and it was lots of fun... Mr. Spinney gave a short talk (about 15 minutes) and then spent another 45 or so answering questions. There were two visits from Oscar the Grouch and Mr. Spinney sang the Alphabet Song in his Big Bird voice. Then he signed...

You guys wouldn't be talking about the plush deal Sababa Toys signed with the Muppets, would you? From: http://www.playthings.com/index.asp?layout=article&articleid=CA275733 "Sababa inks Muppet deal By Staff Playthings -- 2/6/2003 4:50:00 PM NEW YORK ? Sababa toys has signed on...

It's not listed as being shown again this month in the Biography Channel's listings, unfortunately. --Scott McGuire

The Monday May 5 Boston Globe had an article about Caroll Spinney (and his new book) in the Living/Arts section. Here's a link to the on-line version of the article: http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/125/living/Fowl_play+.shtml You can also read excerpts from the book at...

I recently got the "Peanuts UNO" that Sababa Toys made. They did an excellent job with it, so hopefully the Muppet one will be just as nice. (I was surprised to learn there were so many special Uno variants available. There's also Simpsons Uno, SpongeBob SquarePants Uno, SpiderMan Uno...

I ordered mine directly from Numenorean last Thursday 5/1 and received it on Monday 5/5. It does sound pretty darn good. (Got #231, for those who care...) Personally I think I prefer the album version vs. the actual film score version... Which is actually something I've discovered a lot...

I was the Everett, MA Costco - I guess I should have specified that. They had about 5 of each box set out in the open, don't know if there were more hiding somewhere. --Scott

Since Columbia Tristar has treated the Muppets far better on DVD than Disney has (can you say "widescreen"), at least that aspect of this sounds positive. --Scott McGuire

Indeed it is. I contribute to it with some regularity. :) Ah yes, I should have guessed that was what you meant. That's an oldie but a goodie. And just to be marginally on-topic, I'll say that I'm looking forward to Carroll Spinney's book too! --Scott

Yes, the show had commericals when it originally ran, so 1:34 sounds about right. --Scott

Sorry to go off-topic here... but is that the exact title of the book, and if so, what is it and when was it published? I'm not familiar with it and I have an awful lots of Peanuts books. :) I couldn't find any references to a book with that title using Google... thanks! --Scott McGuire

I was at Costco yesterday and they had two boxsets of Muppet DVDs: * One with "The Best of the Muppet Show" Volumes 1-4 (the four volumes that have been released by Columbia-Tristar; 12 episodes in all); * And one with 4 Muppet movies - "The Muppet Movie," "The Great Muppet Caper," "The...

Re: wich region... They are Region 1 only. --Scott McGuire

I quickly skimmed through the recording I made this morning. It was indeed the show that originally aired on A&E. I don't believe it was significantly edited, because there wasn't an excessive amount of commercial time nor were there pointless segments with a teen host, but I haven't done a...

Yes, it's two hours - that was not a typo. It was two hours when first shown on A&E - it was an "extra special Biography" or some such. (Technically the Biography Channel is listing the show as two one-hour episodes, "Part 1" from 7-8 and "Part 2" from 8-9 but I felt that was gratuitous...

"Biography for Kids" will be airing the "Sesame Street" biography on the Biography Channel (sadly, not a cable channel a lot of people get), on Sunday May 4 from 7 - 9 AM (Eastern/Pacific). This is almost certainly the same as the Biography episode of "Sesame Street" that aired on A&E a while...
