    Interview with Dave Coulier on "Muppet Babies"

    http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2011/12/01/the-throwback-behind-the-scenes-on-muppet-babies/ Interesting interview... and someone claiming to be Hank Saroyan (not going to say one way or the other, but I personally am going to believe it is him) commented saying there's no way that there could be...

    Rumor: Muppet Movie Blu-ray-DVD combo set coming soon

    I'm DYING to own TMM and TGMC on Blu-Ray (as well as the new movie), but that's it. I have no desire to own any of the other four productions listed here. I sincerely hope that if this is indeed an accurate listing, that at least part of the collection is released separately. I already own the...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    One thing I've been wondering... the scene where everyone is sleeping in the studio in hammocks... Fozzie says he hopes it doesn't rain through the hole in the ceiling. I realize that's a partial reference to earlier in the film where it rains on Fozzie's outdoor dressing room in Reno (Save the...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    Nobody's ever said Kermit doesn't have feelings for Piggy. It's just that she's a bit (okay, maybe a lot) more overbearing than Kermit would like, and she wants their relationship to move faster than Kermit wants it to. Kermit is the "let's take things slow" type, while Piggy is the "let's get...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    Well, here's my two cents. I loved the film. Finally, a throwback to the Muppet specials and movies of old! I loved all the cameos (celebrity and classic Muppet), the songs, the characterizations, everything! And I especially loved Walter. I went in expecting to not be able to stand Walter...

    A Continuation of Toots' Tune?

    Finally have gotten around to uploading this. It's a little crude, as it is edited together from multiple sources of varying quality, but it is the complete piece. http://www.4shared.com/audio/2daRm-0u/ssclosingthemeedit.html PS - Loving North Knoxville. Only 5 minutes from work, and I feel...

    A Continuation of Toots' Tune?

    Yes, that is the end of the first verse and the beginning of the second of the full track of Toots Thielemans' theme. The actual composition has two verses, then a bridge (where the on air version usually fades in), then two more verses that are more improvised, the bridge again, then another...

    First Elmo original sketch!

    The sketch seems to share the page with one for the Kermit the Forg puppet (was that one used earlier than 1978?) and is signed by Caroly Wilcox.

    Sesame Street Classic Episodes Vol. 1 now available for download on iTunes and Amazon

    I bought all the episodes as a whole yesterday (much cheaper that way-- $17.99 as opposed to 23.88) plus I had a $15 iTunes gift card I hadn't used yet. Very impressed by the episodes, and I hope they keep it up. Would be glad to help with complete sketch listings if I knew where and how to...

    Sesame Street at Night

    From a newspaper TV listing of the time: "Sesame Street at Night?" Gene Shalit hosts an adult look at Sesame Street, which features excerpts from appearances by nearly 100 stars who have been guest "teachers" on the pre-school show, plus songs, satires and sketches by some of the human and...

    The Falling Baker Finally Identified

    Stevens was also known for, among other things, playing The Wolfman on gothic soap opera Dark Shadows, which incidentally shared some other crew with early SST... costume designer Ramse Mostoller for one. Greg

    "Of Muppets and Men" Book

    Hey, quick question for you guys? Not willing to part with it, but what is the rarity/value of the "Of Muppets and Men" book published in 1981? I purchased a copy of it this week from a local used bookstore for 75 cents. In beautiful condition. Greg

    You live in Knoxville, D'Snowth? I do as well. Didn't know there were two Muppet fans in this city. Greg

    Where was Sesame Street shot before Kaufman Astoria?

    The biggest reason the show moved was that Reeves Entertainment, who owned the Teletape Studios, went bankrupt in 1991 and shut down the studios. The site is now a Staples I believe. Greg
