    Questions about anything

    Anybody know where I can find an insertial that ran on Nick Jr. in the early 1990s? I remember seeing it in 1992 or 1993 (or maybe it was both)... I don't remember much, but I think it was a poem, and it featured a giant walking in a city, and a voice-over. I think it was claymation. The only...

    JHC a former shell of its former self now adays?

    I don't think HiT or Lionsgate were ever partnered with Henson to make the Fraggle Rock movie. They just had the video rights. It is a little sad how Henson STILL hasn't been able to get the Fraggle Rock movie or Dark Crystal prequel released, considering those properties are quite popular, and...

    The Muppets Hurricane Shelter

    Chapter 7 The shelter was heading closer and closer to the waterfall. "What can we do?", asked Bert. "I'll throw this anchor!", said Herry, who was carrying an anchor. Herry threw the anchor out the front door. "YAY!", cheered everybody. Unfortunately, the chain to the...

    JHC a former shell of its former self now adays?

    I thought he didn't want the Sesame Street Muppets merchandised at first because he felt it was innappropriate to profit from merchandise related to a non-commercial show. For awhile I wondered if he wanted ownership and a split of merchandise so that he could deny any Sesame Street product...

    Confusing Things About Bert and Ernie's Apartment

    I wrote that article. I had fun doing it. I had thought about writing about their apartment in Follow That Bird, which looks a bit different (along with all of Sesame Street), but then decided not to. And until now I didn't think to write about their primary location in the test pilots...

    The Muppets Hurricane Shelter

    Chapter 6 As the shelter continued flying... "Hey, Chef", said Fozzie, "we're flying over Sweden." The Swedish Chef looked out the window, waved, and said hi to his mom and dad. "I used to be a world traveler", said Grover, "But I have never traveled like this before." "I just...

    The Muppets Hurricane Shelter

    Chapter 5 As they were flying in the air in the shelter... "Like, I wasn't expecting the hurricane to be this strong", said Janice. "It must be stronger than me", said Herry. "I didn't think this could happen", said Bunsen, "Then again, the material was a lot cheaper than I had...

    The Muppets Hurricane Shelter

    I thought Hurricane Katrina came in 2006, and I know there have been hurricanes since then (my town was affected by the aftermath of one in 2008, and in fact it was then that I started getting the idea for this... and now I'm finally writing it after all these years!). Chapter 4...

    In The Muppet Show episode with Alice Cooper, how did they do the outline effects in Pigs in Space? Did they rotoscope the movements? Did they use Waldo technology?

    My Muppet Show App Discussion/Updates

    Actually, neither Dave nor David is listed in the credits, and their characters voices aren't heard (Scooter seems to host and his dialogue is in text, Zoot just makes his sax sound when clicked, Gonzo has his trumpet which he blows when clicked on, Waldorf along with Statler only has text...

    The Muppets Hurricane Shelter

    Chapter 3 Bunsen continued the tour. "And over here is the garbage area, where we throw our garbage." Bunsen pointed to a small window on the wall, similar to mail slots at the post office. "I can't fit in there!", said Oscar the Grouch, whose trash can was being carried by Bruno...

    The Muppets Hurricane Shelter

    Chapter 2 The previous chapter took place at the time of the last major hurricane. This story now jumps ahead to the present, when the hurricane shelter has been finished. "Welcome to the Muppet Labs State-of-the-Art Hurricane Shelter!", said Bunsen. A crowd of Muppets cheered at the...

    The Muppets Hurricane Shelter

    Chapter 1 Our story begins at least a year ago, or whenever the last major hurricane was (I can't remember if there was one last year or not). The Muppets all ran into the prop room. "Okay, everybody, into the prop room", shouted Kermit, "the hurricane is hitting. The prop room is...

    If the third stage is an alley, I wonder if we won't need to worry about upgrading dressing rooms. After I digitized Miss Piggy, I found that there were no more dressing rooms and the dressing rooms wouldn't digitized further so I had to dismiss some characters. Of course I had multiple rats...

    Flanderized Muppets?

    I've heard some good points about whether TMS Scooter would realistically be a computer nerd. But even in recent years the computer nerd aspect hasn't been explored much. Here are all instances I know of: In Letters to Santa, it is Scooter who sets up a webpage for people to send ideas on how to...

    Questions about anything

    If somebody recorded laugh track/live audience laughter from a TV show and then used the recording for laughter on another TV show, without permission from the studio that makes the show, can they be sued? After all, how easily can somebody identify if the laughter came from something else and...

    The Laugh Track Thread

    I haven't noticed people complaining about laugh tracks on the forums here. I have seen complaints about laugh tracks on other forums, and have seen people who've worked on television (or heard of such instances) where they complained about the laugh tracks, and one of the bonus features on the...
