    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    I remember reading this post when it was posted, and all these years I had misread/misremembered it as saying that most of the trivia contradicted things mentioned in the videos themselves. Which would have been funnier.

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    At one point in Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuff, several Gonzo clips are shown in a row (including clips from the movies, every other clip). I recall that when most of those clips end and the next ones start, they cut to a shot of Gonzo watching them on TV, I think making some comments or...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I'd read that the credit for Bill Barretta performing Foozie was a mistake and it was actually Tyler Bunch (and that it'll be corrected for the DVD... So I guess that'll make the theatrical release a rarity). It makes me wonder if Matt Vogel performing Roowlf was a mistake. Muppet Wiki mentions...

    Is it time for a good Muppets video game?

    Here's what I think might make a good rundown for a video game based on the new movie (and yes, some ideas were first posted/desired by others in this thread and I think elsewhere). Introduction: Walter gets ready to visit the Muppet Studios. Level 1: Walter tries to make it to Kermit's...

    Walter's Music Picks

    Enjoy this special Muppet compilation starring Walter! Walter: Hi, Muppet fans! I am Walter, and today I'm showcasing some of my favorite musical moments from the Muppets, both the movie and the franchise. First, a song from the movie, and I got to sing it. (Leads to "Life's a Happy Song"...

    "The Muppets" What were you half expecting

    Rizzo also spoke the line "That's okay, there's no food either" when Kermit points out there's no phone to call room service to order food (and says "alright" when one of the rats says "come on, Rizzo!"). I think Rizzo also gets out an "And me!" during the finale, though I can't tell if it's him...

    Anyone Else A Huge Fan Of Letters To Santa(Extended)?

    I haven't seen the broadcast version as often as the extended, but I don't think it makes too big a difference to me whether it's the extended or not. And I thought it was a bit pointless to make it extended and still have a deleted scenes feature. I like that the extended version gives us more...

    Is it time for a good Muppets video game?

    Interestingly, I've thought of quite a few ideas for Muppet games where the ideas were basically taken from existing games, but there was an idea I was thinking of recently which was similar to an existing game, but had no idea of the plot until yesterday when I got the game for Christmas. The...

    Muppet Family Christmas

    It was released on video in 1995 and 1998, the DVD in 2001. I assume both VHS releases have the same edits.

    Muppet Family Christmas

    I saw a scan of that elsewhere. It referred to Fozzie's mom as Agatha instead of Emily (her name was only briefly mentioned in the special). I think that was a 1988 issue, so it was a year after the special was first broadcast. And it's especially odd that in the letter from Fozzie's mom (and...

    TV Alert: Muppets on Jimmy Fallon December 23

    Anyone notice they mentioned the song was written for A Christmas Together? It was actually written for Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas (though I'm not sure if Disney would want the Muppets to acknowledge that). I feel Matt Vogel's Robin sounds more like a younger Bunsen (maybe he should take...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    It seems many Muppet productions since the 1980s have had finales like that. The 30th anniversary special, MFS, Muppets at Walt Disney World, Letters to Santa, The Muppets... It's a shame Muppet Classic Theater didn't have a closing montage like that.

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    Actually I think Richard was just busy with The Ghost of Faffner Hall at the time. That show was made in england while JHH was made in canada. And I think I read some gossip at tough pigs that Richard Hunt didn't really like working in canada (which could explain why he didn't perform any...

    Your Muppet mistakes

    With Christmas coming up, perhaps I should mention that when I was younger I mishead certain song lyrics from A Muppet Family Christmas, most notably Deck the Halls. I thought that both Grover and the black cows lines were something to the effect of "time to play a game of barrell". And I...

    Fan Poll: Favorite Henson Family Christmas Production

    I wasn't expecting the Dinosaurs episode to be an option, since that's a TV episode and not really a special. I was expecting to vote on The Chrismtas Toy until I saw that option.
