    Would this have been one of the publicity copies?: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xjwmi5_jim-henson-s-play-along-video_shortfilms

    Elmo in Grouchland: Any fans?

    I liked it a lot better when I first saw it (I've been thinking about a lot of Henson stuff I like less than I first did... I wonder if my opinions of "The Muppets" will lower ina few years.... Nahhh...). Of course, around the time it was announced, I was sort of on a Follow That Bird kick...

    Is it time for a good Muppets video game?

    And I bet there are millions more who know about the TMNT game than the Muppets game. Even without all the reviews from the likes of such online video critics as The Angry Video Game Nerd, I'm sure Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was more successful (The Angry Video Game Nerd pointed out in his...

    Is it time for a good Muppets video game?

    I don't mind the Muppets ripping off Mario Kart or Mario Party. I remember when I first played Mario Kart 64 and the first Mario Party I kept thinking there needed to be Muppet versions of those games (and I thought the same when Pokemon Pinball came out, though I've never played Muppet Pinball...

    Walter's First Muppet Christmas

    Chapter 7 Soon, everyone went inside, to enjoy a warm fire and the Christmas tree. “Wow, I sure did have a great first Christmas with the Muppets”, said Walter. “Even though we got lost?”, said Fozzie. “Yes”, said Walter, whistling “Have Yourself a Merry Little Chrismtas” as he walked...

    Walter's First Muppet Christmas

    Chapter 6 Soon, the Muppets were all outside, in the ski area. “Wow, I can’t believe we’re finally here!”, said Walter. “Well, let’s get started”, said Scooter. “STARTED! STARTED!”, yelled Animal. “Yeah, right on”, said Floyd. “I have the cutest ski moves”, said Bean. So they all...

    Walter's First Muppet Christmas

    Chapter 5 They went back to the repair shop, and the main mechanic just happened to come back at that moment. “So, what did you think of our movie?”, asked Kermit. The mechanic’s face turned red as he made an angry face… But then it all suddenly went away and he said, in a cheery mood, “I...

    Walter's First Muppet Christmas

    Chapter 4 “You know, Kermie”, said Piggy, “Since it’ll take awhile before things get fixed, let’s do some shopping.” So they went to a nearby store. “Oh, look, Kermie!”, said Piggy, “They have green dresses, and pink dresses, and purple dresses….” Kermit looked nervous, knowing he...

    Walter's First Muppet Christmas

    Chapter 3 The Muppets were all pushing the car down the road. ‘80s Robot had completely broken down. “This is hard work”, said Fozzie, struggling. “I wish we could contact the others”, said Kermit, “They are probably wondering where we are.” “Don’t any of you have cell phones?”, asked...

    Did Jim Henson stay in touch with guest stars?

    I've seen a picture (I think on the wiki) of an autographed Of Muppets and Men that was given to Buddy Rich.

    Walter's First Muppet Christmas

    Chapter 2 The gang was headed to the ski resort. “We will reach our destination in 138 miles”, said ‘80s Robot. “Gee”, said Lew, “I hope we have enough gas.” The car went past traffic lights, which turned red before the first bus behind them could even pass. “I hope this light doesn’t...

    Walter's First Muppet Christmas

    Chapter 1 Walter was in a cab, with a bunch of presents, headed to Kermit’s mansion for Christmas. “I am so excited!”, said Walter, “This is my first Christmas with the Muppets! I hope everybody is there, even though I couldn’t afford presents for ALL of the Muppets…” “As long as you can...

    Jim Henson's Red Book

    Here's an article about The Great Santa Claus Switch getting an article in TV Guide: http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2011/12/12/12121970/ Not much, but it includes a few design sketches. Interestingly, the designs list the Frackles by what they were intended to be called (Blue Frackle, Snake...

    Some questions on The Muppet Movie

    In the Muppet Central interview Steve Whitmire said he performed Fozzie in many of the scenes where Fozzie and Piggy appear on-screen together (and he appears behind the gang when watching the beauty contest). Though Michael Earl has said that he performed Fozzie in the showdown sequence.

    Some questions on The Muppet Movie

    Speaking of that, has Janice the puppet ever played the tambourine? A tambourine was an accessory with the action figure, I think the comic books sometimes showed her playing tambourine (I don't think she ever played guitar in any of the BOOM comics, for some reason), and the old Kermitage...

    Why has the Muppet theater changed so much?

    His office was at Muppet Studios, not the theater. You could say that the studio wasn't built until after the show ended (assuming the Muppets still made movies and specials after the show ended in this continuity).

    Original Gordon from the Sesame Street test pilot has been identified

    Seems it didn't say if he was still alive or not. Somehow I'm assuming he is, but it's still hard for me to tell from the article (yeah, it says they wouldn't talk about his personal life, which is fine by me, but it'd still be good to know if he was still living). It's interesting, his name...

    "The Muppets" What were you half expecting

    You know, I was sort of expecting more photos of Muppets in the "Pictures in my Head" sequence. It seems odd for there to not be pictures of Bunsen and Beaker, Rowlf, or Scooter (or Pepe or Lew Zealand or Sweetums or Sam or Rizzo or....).

    If it has any of those then it can't really be called a "bare bones dvd".
