    Gaffer Gets a Fan Fic

    Chapter 3 Kermit and Beauregard went out back, taking out some of the trash. “How did I, the host of the show, end up with garbage duty?”, asked Kermit. “Scooter’s uncle owns the theater”, said Beauregard. “Oh, right”, said Kermit. They then saw Statler and Waldorf tied up in the...

    Gaffer Gets a Fan Fic

    Chapter 2 Olive, Bad Breath, and Gaffer were all seated around a fire at a junkyard. “Believe it or not, Gaffer, the Muppet Theater has had many cats who hung around and got kicked out”, said Olive. “Meow?”, said Gaffer. “Who’s Catgut?”, said Olive. “I remember when I was part of the...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    According to tvshowsondvd.com, a complete series boxed set is coming out, with all of the bonus features previously released, packaged in a toy turtle van. And it'll apparrently only cost 23 dollars. I wonder if the discs will all be exactly like what was released on the individual seasons. If...

    Gaffer Gets a Fan Fic

    Enjoy this fan fic, centering around Gaffer! This story is dedicated to the memory of Jerry Nelson (though none of his characters will be particularly prominient in this story). Chapter 1 Kermit went on-stage to introduce yet another installment of The Muppet Show. “Welcome again to...

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    This is so sad. He's the first major performer to have died after I knew that the Muppets were puppets (I'm not counting Eren Ozker, who was only a major performer for one year, or Jerry Juhl, who hadn't been a performer since the 1960s). I expect the next Sesame Street season premiere to be...

    Anybody have memories of Big Bird's concerts?

    In Caroll Spinney's autobiography, he talks about doing a series of concerts based around Big Bird conducting. In fact he devotes an entire chapter to them. And recently Copper Pot Pictures has uploaded a couple of clips from what I assume is an Austrailian TV broadcast (I wasn't aware one was...

    Minor Muppetz' TMS Outline: Julie Neumarr

    Though I presume all those characters would only sing together and none of them would really get their own solo lines.

    Biff and Sully on the Radio

    Chapter 6 Biff was back in the studio, hosting another show. “You’re listening to Johnny B, the disc jockey formerly known as Biff. And now we’ll take another call!” “Hello, Johnny, can you play a song by poison?” “Oh, you don’t want poison”, said Biff, “Poison is very dangerous...

    Biff and Sully on the Radio

    Chapter 5 “It will be hard to adjust to working alone”, said the executive, “but we’ll make it work.” “Now that you don’t have to pay for two DJs can I have a raise?”, asked Biff. “No”, said the executive, coldly, “but something’s got to be done about your name.” “What’s wrong with my...

    Biff and Sully on the Radio

    Chapter 4 Biff and Sully were out at the live event. “Wow, look at all those people cheering for us”, said Biff, “it looks like a lot!” Sully nodded. “Well, let’s go to our podium and start the show”, said Biff. They started. “Welcome to Biff and Sully’s Radio Show LIVE!”, said Biff...

    Little things we've noticed

    I was watching some of Richard Hunt's performances as Captain Vegetable last night, and noticed that Richard's version has both regular Muppet ears AND bunny ears. Two sets of ears??? I thought those kinds of ears on Anything Muppets were removable (the season two sketch "I Wanna Hold Your Ear"...

    Biff and Sully on the Radio

    Chapter 3 Over the first week, Biff and Sully were a worldwide success. “Hello, you’re on the air”, said Biff. The caller was the Two-Headed Monster, who argued over what song to play, “Eensy Weensy Spider” or “Old MacDonald”. “Hold it!”, said Biff, “I’ll play both!” “YAY!”...

    Eric Jacobson as Cookie Monster?

    You know, years ago, around the time that Frank Oz's characters were given understudies (who have pretty much become recasts by this point, even if Jacobson and Rudman still consider them Oz's characters), I'd read that they did a few segments where Jacobson performed Cookie Monster, and I...

    Biff and Sully on the Radio

    I don't know whether he's still popular or still on the air, but he is/was a radio DJ, who also had a TV show on the E! network (not sure if it was video recordings of what happened during the radio broadcasts or if they were completely seperate), whose humor was very vulgar. He also starred in...

    Biff and Sully on the Radio

    Chapter 2 Biff and Sully were in the radio booth, ready for their first show. “Okay, you two will be on in thirty seconds”, said the director. “Oh, this is so much fun!”, said Biff. Sully was about to speak.. “Aren’t you excited?”, interrupted Biff. Sully nodded his head. “Okay”...

    Biff and Sully on the Radio

    Enjoy this new fan fic. Chapter 1 Biff and Sully were at work one day, doing their usual job. “Alright, Sully”, said Biff, “let’s get to work!” Biff started his jackhammer, but it went out of control. “SULLYYYYY!!! HEEELLLPPPPP!” Biff ended up crashing into a lamppost. “Oh...

    Eric Jacobson as Cookie Monster?

    Muppet Wiki mentions that Eric Jacobson started performing Bert and Grover in 1996, but it's not cited, and I kind of doubt that info. Maybe he was learning to perform them at the time, or performing while Frank Oz did the voices, but I don't know for sure (out of all the main performers...
