    Ave Q Song Inquiry

    Especially considering only one of the two characters in Avenue Q actually is. It would all fall under parody laws anyway. I believe that's mentioned in the Muppet Wiki page Boober Gorg cited.

    Parachutes

    Well, for the shot of the Muppets actually coming out of the plane, it wouldn't be too farfetched to throw them off a real one (my only other guess would be a model). Otherwise, any shots where the characters are singing would have been filmed in a soundstage. Another great trick is while...

    Star Trek XI Movie in 2008?!

    ... That's called cheating. ;) I very much like the idea of returning to the look of the original series. I think it would be kind of interesting to see how they might pull off a sixties look(or would it be early-fifties since it's a prequel?) that would appeal to the modern day audience. I...

    Star Trek XI Movie in 2008?!

    By the way, I seem to recall there being at least one novel about Kirk, Spock, and Bones knowing each other during their Academy years. Someone mentioned that they had a hard time believing Kirk would become Captain before Spock if they were in the Academy at the same time, but it actually does...

    did Jim Henson ever perform a left hand?

    Perhaps this doesn't count, but in the Muppet Show epsiode where the pigs take over the theater, The Swedish Pig takes over for the Swedish Chef. The pig's head is performed by Frank Oz, and it has been presumed (since they appear to be identical to Jim's) that the pig's hands are performed by...

    Show That Have Overstayed Their Welcome

    Aw, I like Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

    How many Muppeteers have visited Muppet Central?

    Dave Goelz stated that he goes to Muppet Central to find out when he has a job, cuz they usually know before he does.

    Cartoons can't smoke no more

    Example: Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Eddie Valiant drinks through the whole movie, until that one scene when he realizes what he's doing, and dumps the remainder of his alcohol. I remember thinking about that as a kid. He realized drinking too much can be a bad thing, and stopped, and I understood...

    Cartoons can't smoke no more

    I'm not a smoker, and I don't really approve of it, but I always thought it was kind of funny to see a cartoon (or even a Muppet) smoking. Comedy is always about showing man's faults or vices. If you're watching a cartoon character smoking whilst hacking up a lung, that just seems funny to me...

    Favorite show no one knows

    I didn't realize Jeff Moss did the music. That's pretty cool. Perhaps an eBay search is in order. Loved Mr. Bumpy, Squishington, Miss Molly. ... It was Miss Molly, right? I used to really like this old cartoon called Crusader Rabbit. I used to have a few episodes on video. It was kind of a...

    Favorite show no one knows

    I remember him! He was cool. Bump in the Night is one that no one seems to remember. At least, of people that I know.

    Appreciation Threads?

    Ah, but I think that was the Barry Lee fan video thread, which was a result of the Barry Lee Thread. I couldn't find a Barry Lee Appreciation Thread in existance. Examining the context of the first several posts in the thread by Barry seem to indicate that there was no thread like it prior to...

    Appreciation Threads?

    I always thought the "Kiss, kiss, hug, hug, dharling" thread was kind of an all in one appreciation thread. I almost never look at the appreciation threads anyway, so they seem kind of cluttery to me. ... This coming from the guy who probably started the whole appreciation thread thing. Of...

    Who are your favorite filmmaker(s)?

    I started writing a musical with a Jerry-like character in it (as well as a Groucho Marx-type character). I really oughta finish it. I keep wanting to buy the Martin and Lewis collections. I have the Jerry Lewis Paramount set, and I'm hoping the release something with all his projects with...

    Who are your favorite filmmaker(s)?

    Yeah, I was thinking of Tash, too. His movies are just fantastic! I watched The Disorderly Orderly last night, and it's such a sweet story. That would be way past cool. I wish I could have seen him doing that. I remember hearing him say he didn't think he made it, or rather he didn't think his...

    Puppeteers Who Have Beautiful Singing Voices

    I think some of Richard's best vocal performances were as Beaker singing "Feelings" and "Danny Boy".

    Did Weird Al ever appear on a Muppet thing?

    That's incredible, cuz I always thought that would be an awesome song to perform a puppet to! It would definitely display the performer's talents if they could pull it off believeably.

    Oui oui. That's right. I said oui oui. oui oui!

    Should Sesame Street continue after season 40?

    ... was that some sort of cue for Crazy Harry? That'd be cool. Watch Crazy Harry blow up Elmo in the last episode. :crazy:
