    TV Tropes

    I kinda feel the same way about "Hey, it's that voice!" and "Hey, it's that guy!" Anybody who's acted in multiple roles could easily get that. And a lot of voice actors do use a lot of the same voices for many roles. It seems "Hey, it's that guy!" should be more appropriate for actors who...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    Does it reveal whether Constantine is the only new Muppet character in Muppets Most Wanted? Does Miss Poogy get a page, is she lumped in a "Moopets" page, does each member of the Moopets get their own page, or are none of the Moopets included at all? I learned yesterday that it doesn't have...

    The Muppets Character Encyclopedia coming Feb. 7 2014

    The book probably just lists Kermit's first appearance as Sam and Friends, but wouldn't it be funny if the book actually listed an episode number for Kermit's first appearance? I doubt the archives would have that kind of information, and we wouldn't know anything about the episode by number (I...

    TV Tropes

    Some tropes seem to be very similar to each other (I guess similar to how this forum has threads that are similar, like the "Questions About Anything" and "You ever notice... and what's the deal?" threads... and in a way the "You know what" thread is kinda similar to the "You ever notice..."...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Most shows have baby characters played by twins, due to child labor laws. But the baby usually isn't the main character, and there's not much for it to do. Can;t they just do a few important scenes with one baby? Don't know if that makes a difference on live-audience shows. Or do child labor...

    The Muppets Character Encyclopedia coming Feb. 7 2014

    Well, it's supposed to be out today. Does anybody have a copy yet? I probably won't be able to find a copy for a few weeks (I know, I should have ordered), but it feels like Christmas morning, just waiting to know what all's in the book and how good/bad/surprising/disappointing it is.

    Yeah, those document pages list those productions among the Muppet Film and TV Library that Disney got the rights to (as well as Muppet Meeting Films, Little Muppet Monsters, and Muppet Time, but I don't expect any characters created for those to be included). Also, henson.com has a Muppets...

    Actually, Disney does own the rights to Hey Cinderella, The Frog Prince, The muppet Musicians of Bremen, Tale of the Bunny Picnic, and Mr. Willoby's Christmas Tree.

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    It's also interesting how when talking about Saturday Night Live, Frank oz speculated the problem with the sketches was Vash's first performer, throwing the timing off from the other performers. Rhonda Hansen only performed Vash in the first sketch, and she wasn't really in that much of the...

    The Muppets Character Encyclopedia coming Feb. 7 2014

    Looking at these sample pages, it looks like these might not include characters who were more-or-less exclusive to the Tales from Muppetland specials. Looking at the two-page spread with Cactus Quartet and Camilla, it's obvious the book won't include Caleb Siles. I'd be surprised if the other...

    The Muppets Character Encyclopedia coming Feb. 7 2014

    Well the Muppets don't have canon, so it probably doesn't matter. But it would be interesting if any new facts come up in future projects (I don't really expect any new info on the long-time main characters like Kermit or Miss Piggy, they already have plenty of existing info that can be included).

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    It says that the reason Kermit only had a small part in Sex and Violence is because Jim Henson was considering not performing on the show, or not performing often, but then he performed Nigel in that special, in addition to many other characters. I don't quite understand why he would perform the...

    Questions about anything

    When the Muppets appeared on Saturday Night Live, why did the announcer have to list the performers? Couldn't the performers names just be listed in the end credits, as opposed to announced? In fact why doesn't Saturday Night Live (and most variety/talk shows) list guests in the end credits? It...

    Well, the book comes out in just a few days. I hope that a review comes out before the book is released. Don't know if Tough Pigs or The Muppet Mindset or even Muppet Central will get (or has gotten) an early copy to review, but that would be nice (and I expect both sites to give a great review...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    I've seen images from some of the Atari Sesame Street games which have copyrights for both Muppets, Inc. and Henson Associates. And also, it seems like the book says that the company changed it's name to Jim Henson Productions after Jim Henson decided to sell to Disney, which was after The...

    Video: The Muppets Super Bowl Toyota Highlander Commercial with Terry Crews

    I just saw another Toyota commercial, walked into the room after it had started.... Not sure if it's been noted, but this one had Crazy Harry, setting off an explosion in the car which blasted Gonzo through the roof.

    Disney has done everything RIGHT in 2014

    There is one other thing I wish Disney would do better: get more Muppet merchandise available in stores other than The Disney Stores. Yes, fans can order online, and there is a Disney Store near where I live (but it's in a town I don't drive to often), and the merchandise I'm most excited about...
