    Muppets at Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

    I don't see why all the character copyrights couldn't have just been listed in the credits.

    This is probably why we didn't have comic news

    Regarding the small pay people are saying langridge and others get, I recall reading a quote from one comic book writer/artist who said he was offered a job for one of the Muppet comics (I think Muppet King Arthur) because of the amound he was offered (can't remember if he said a speciffic...

    This is probably why we didn't have comic news

    I don't have time to check the exact quotes, but she has talked about this in the Muppet Peter Pan thread and (I beleive) her first interview on The Muppet Mindset. I don't think she's against it, but usually wants a reason for including an obscure character that only we would know. But she has...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street at Macy's 2010 Thanksgiving Day Parade

    Was this the first parade in years not to include Herry, Alice, or Barkley? I don't know if their absense is due to Sesame Workshop's recent financial problems (possibly allowing for less performers to appear) or if maybe the characters are no longer usable to perform or what.

    This is probably why we didn't have comic news

    This is sad news. Hopefully whoever takes over (assuming it continues) will do a great job. But still, there are many characters who haven't been in the comic book, who haven't been drawn by Langridge (I know, they might appear in the next storyarc which will still be done by Langridge)...

    Why do images of DVD covers include the spine?

    Back in the VHS era, whenever an image of a video cover was shown in advertisements (whether print or televised), we'd only see the cover. Flash-forward to the DVD era, and whenever a cover is shown, the spine of the DVD is shown as well. Anybody have any idea why the spine is always shown in...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Considering the next issue is supposedly about Christmas (or at least winter, but I think I read it iinvovles Christmas) it will be sad if it doesn't get released until after Christmas ends (though the trade paperback should be released after Christmas and several months before next years...

    Deleted scene in the Muppets Take Manhattan

    You know, I think that was filmed and cut. I've pretty much always noticed that when the scene in the movie starts, Floyd and Animal (and I think Janice, at least in the widescreen version) are seen (in the mirror), but then the band is seen in the orchestra, without them shown leaving. I...

    The Muppet Mindset

    The only thing that would have made that interview better would have been if Louis Henry Mitchell divulged what speciffic Sesame Street News ssegments will be included. Too bad you didn't ask if he thinks there'd be any chance of there being a "Sesame Street News" DVD collection in the...

    Cookie Monster makes SNL audition tape on YouTube

    I have a feeling that if a new Muppet TV series were made they won't make the mistake of introducing so many new characters at once while only a handful of classic characters get plenty of screen time. I felt confident of this even before the Disney buy-out. Sure, Statler and Waldorf: From the...

    Muppets at Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

    I don't know if it's because of Sesame Workshop's financial problems or what, but I noticed that this year Herry, Alice, and Barkely were all absent from the float. I don't know if they were also missing last year, but it is sad that these characters didn't appear, even though any of them are...

    Cookie Monster makes SNL audition tape on YouTube

    Wouldn't it be funny if on SNL tonight they did a sketch parodying Cookie Monster's audition tape? If the show did it would mean that somebody at SNL is aware of this.

    The Muppet Mindset

    Very good. But when listing your old friends you forgot to list The British Correspondent. He'll probably be upset (unless you secretly did list his name, as we don't know his actual name).

    Any idea how Two-headed Monster scenes are scripted?

    That was actually answered by Jim Lewis in the "Brand New Ask Jim Lewis Thread". Somebody else actually asked again, and was told what had been answered: After that, DWMcKim said that he has some Muppet Show scripts with Swedish Chef sketches, and noted that those scripts only wrote the...

    Jim Henson's Red Book

    Today the site has detailed information on the 1971 appearance on The Dick Cavett Show, including scans of a script rundown which notes stuff that was planned but cut for time. I don't think any of us fans have video footage from this, but I know somebody recorded the audio from it when it...

    Cookie Monster makes SNL audition tape on YouTube

    Actually, no it wasn't. Animal appeared many times on the show (and was the only one with dialogue on the show). Floyd made a cameo in the Garth Brooks episode. Zoot made appearances in the Billy Crystal and Cameo Show episodes. But adding a new house band who didn't really do anything...

    Man, if only I had cable when Muppet Babies entered Nickelodeon. Of course I did get cable shortly after MB reruns were being run on Nick, but still... Oh, and I was wrong about the dates of the marathons I listed. Any marathon that I previously said was broadcast in 1992 was actually...

    Muppet marathons past and present

    There was a Muppet Marathon on Nickelodeon that aired on Memorial Day in 1992. Each hour alternated between a Muppet special and two episodes of Muppet Babies. I can't remember what Muppet Babies episodes aired, but the specials were The Frog Prince, The Muppet Musicians of Bremen, The Secrets...
