IF Marvel does do an original Muppet comic story I'm hoping Tough pigs interviews whoever the writer is (I assume Tough Pigs will, seeing as they've interviewed practically ever Muppet and Fraggle Rock comic book writer and artist since those comics began) and makes sure the writers care as much...

Some of my favorite episodes of The Bob Newhart Show: Fly the Unfriendly Skies - The first episode is good, with Emily revealing she's araid of flying. P-I-L-O-T - The pilot episode was broadcast as the ninth episode. Interestingly, the Nick at Nite Classic TV Companion book apparently lists...

A number of people said that EIG was promoted better than MFS... But I remember it being the other way around. While I didn't see commercials for either movie often, I recall seeing MFS commercials just a little more than EIG commercials. I saw the EIG trailer in theaters, but not the MFS...

Recently I've been thinking, how much (if any) of the Muppet merchandise that comes out around the movie will be a direct tie-in to the movie? We'll have to wait and see what kinds of character variants/special character costumes come from the movie. Of course if The Muppet Show: Season 4 or any...

I watched the Marissa Berensen episode tonight, and noticed this line in the cold open: "This isn't some weird Muppet luggage that'll explode or turn into cheese, is it?" And I'm thinking, when have things in the Muppet world turned into cheese? In the Shirley Bassey episode Bunsen invented a...

Today I thought I'd ask which Ernie and Bert fishing sketch you like better, Ernie's fish call (aka "Here fishy fishy fishy!") or the one where Ernie catches fish while Bert doesn't. Here's the fish call sketch...

Last night I dreamt I saw a deleted scene from The Muppet Movie, in which Sweetums catches up with the Muppets after Kermit's showdown with Doc Hopper. The other characters are getting on the bus to go to Hollywood, Sweetums shows up and is both excited to have caught up and exhausted from all...

Looks like some here fans don't know what "give aways" are (and I wonder if I should regret posting that question). "Give aways" are special figures given out at toy conventions and events, to the press and promoters. The give aways never have any new sculpting or accessories, just repainted...

It's "Share Like a Grouch Day" with Oscar.

Of course Geri and the Atrics were introduced in season 4. I've noticed that when Christopher Reeve was the guest, all of his on-stage acts were as sudden replacements for other characters. He replaced an injurred Gonzo for the Shakespear sketch, and replaced Rowlf in two different acts...

One thing that I often wish is that Newhart had more noticable changes throughout its run. But then again, maybe the lack of changes is what kept the show on the air for so many years. But it would have been at least great if they changed the opening every year. I remember for a long time...

Though I now remember once, back in 1998, I was at a video store, and saw a copy of a movie that I assume starred Bob Newhart. I can't remember it's title (I guess I'll have to search wikipedia or IMDB), but it appeared to invovle Bob Newhart playing a jogger. I sort of wish Nick at Nite had...

I don't know if there's any other big Bob Newhart fans here, but I thought I'd start a thread for that great comedian and television actor, Bob Newhart. Of course, I've mostly seen his work in television: The Bob Newhart Show, Newhart, even Bob and George & Leo. It seems he didn't star in...

There's a number of times when we hear the punchlines to jokes without hearing the set-up (Floyd's joke backstage in the Dom DeLuise episode following Don't Blame the Dynamite, a joke Maria tells Gordon at the beginning of the "Sleeping Grouchy" episode). In the Loretta Lynn episode we hear the...

Would that mean that back then the writers didn't actually come up with the initial ideas for movies?

Now I'm wondering... In cases where the writing is a group effort... I'm thinking like how the characters on The Dick Van Dyke Show were portrayed, if they are all writing together, and while writing a movie or episode, if one writer suggests a line or gag or scene but somebody else writes it...

I think Kermit meant that the clip was going to be in the special, not that the kid was going to make an appearance. The clip was in the special, after all.

Looking a bit more at that Disney Afternoon Vinyl series, it seems each DA series is represented with two characters per series. I guess the inclusion of Launchpad is because of DuckTales more than Darkwing Duck (though judging by how stylized they are I don't think that Launchpad looks...

When I first saw that, I thought it was a naked Tinkerbelle. :concern:

Recent news of the Muppet Vinymation Series 2 got me searching for information on other Vinylmation series, and I learned that a Vinylmation series on The Disney Afternoon was just released last month, which includes Darkwign Duck, Launchpad, and Gosylin...
