Can anyone tell me what was the exact line said by the leader of the Who lynch mob after she initally says to Fozzie, "It's him, the one who stole Christmas and ruined all our wishes!" It sounds like something along the lines of how the actual Grinch made her uncle angry by taking Christmas...

I was going to wait until I was completely finished this before posting it (as of this typing I'm about 2/3s there), but upon the advice of one of the few people to review it so far, I figured I've got nothing to lose by doing so. Anyway, how do you top Muppet Family Christmas? Well, I don't...

Have any characters from international productions (Abelardo, Zeliboba, etc.) ever appeared on the original show to anyone's knowledge?

Which of the various mock shows seen on the show did you like the best? Mine's definitely Ask Mr. Lizard; when they originally aired, I would spend the entire weekend repeating, "We're going to need another Timmy!" Second place would go to Triceracops (both in its regular violent format and...

Having received a long-awaited copy of the special from E-bay the other night, I noticed while watching it again for the first time in 15 years that Richard Hunt is credited for Muppeteering during the opening, yet none of his regular characters appear in the special as far as I could see. Would...

I vaguely can recall one Don Music segment that went like a usual one, only it was someone other than Kermit assisting him in getting the song done. Does this ring a bell with anyone, or am I imagining it?

Remember this one as well? We see all the birds in question land one at a time on an equestrian statue as the announcer counts them up one by one. Once they've all landed, they take off with the statue. The announcer then counts down from ten as they flap out of frame, then sadly remarks, "No...

This is my generic name for this bit, which was airing at least through the late 80s. You probably have seen it at one point or another; in it we see an alligator, snake, and kangaroo going over plans in their collective (??) cage at night on planning to saw their way out of the cage and meet...

Why do you suppose Animal's become popular enough with viewers that in some cases he transcends his Electric Mayhem bandmates and becomes almost a core character? My theory is that he represents unbridled wildness; that people can identify with his anarchical ways, especially if life can be...

With which productions did each of the main Muppeteers who performed during the golden years (up to 1990 for the sake of establishing parameters for the golden years) receive their first screen credits?

Roughly what year did Sneak Peak Previews start, and was the format consistant from the beginning (i.e., Telly spills the popcorn, they trade Phooeys and Wows afterwards), or was there some variation at first? :grouchy:

It was probably made in the mid-late 70s, but was still seing air time in the late 80s. What I can remember about it was several children in an inner city setting buying snow cones on a hot summer day, more or less. Drumming, maybe on steel drums, lasted throughout, and we'd see a lot of...

My favorite one is actually a tie between the Hickory Dickory Dock piece where the horse stands in for the mouse and destroys the clock, and the Little Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe sketch where Kermit has to go through the Young Man Who Lived in a Glove (if you'd knock on his door, he'd give you...

Who remembers all of them? I recall #2 featured a carnvial, #5 methods of transportation, #6 a farm, #10 a medieval theme, #11 jungle animals, and #12 U.S. landmarks. What were the others?

Did anyone here catch HBO's original promotions for the series before it began? If so, how did they go about hyping it? :excited:

Why do you suppose the main cut of TMM is missing the first line of the final verse of Moving Right Along, the one that goes "Do I see signs of man? 'Welcome' on the same post that says 'Come Back Again.'" Do you think it was something for time, or did they just deliberately shorten the song a...

I remember reading this one book with the main characters when I was younger, but don't remember the title, perhaps the following description can jog someone's memory: Dr. Bunsen Honeydew creates a whole bunch of small chomping creatures to clean up the Muppet Theater, but they work all too...

Who has this book? According to the sleeve it was released last year and is basically a collection of quotes by Jim, his characters, and those who knew him, with an introduction by Cheryl Henson. I had the good fortune to pick it up a few weeks back at my sister's college's bookstore, and...

Ever wonder if and how any of the myriad of Muppet characters might be related to each other? Here are some of my theories: -I think Doc Bullfrog is probably Kermit's uncle. That would easily explain why Kermit would be spending Christmas Eve at the Riverside Rest. -Fozzie and Chuck...

Was the elegant Ms. Huxstetter supposed to be any species in particular, or just a strange humanoid along the lines of Scooter, for example?
