    Is Dinosaurs Really Muppet Worlds?

    There haven't been many crossovers between the Muppets and creatures from creature shop productions, but I wouldn't consider characters made for creature shop productions to suddenly become Muppets becasue they had crossed over. After all, we don't consider non-Henson puppets who appeared with...

    Muppets Comics Wishes Thread

    Wouldn't it be great if near the end of the year Boom! Studios had there be a four-issue Muppet Show comic book where each issue celebrated a holiday? Issue 1 would be about halloween, issue 2 would be about thanksgiving, issue 3 would be about christmas, and issue 4 would be about new years...

    SST Sketch Memories, Anybody Else Remember These?

    There are a few segments that I recall seeing, maybe once each, but haven't seen them in a long time, and also haven't seen any info on Muppet Wiki. Does anybody remember them? One of them is a segment where a couple is driving, and the car breaks down, and Maria comes by with a gas can to...

    bruno the trash man questions

    I remember him being quiet most of the time, but I wouldnb't have held it agaisnt him if he had grunted or such. In Big Bird's Birthday, right before Bruno starts skating, oscar asks if he's ready, and I feel like he should have made a "Hmm" sound. He didn't, but should have. And it is...

    Muppet Spring Break Week

    I didn't mention this previously, but the first three episode closings were of the orchestra in the park. Episode 1 has it raining, episode 2 has it snowing, and episode 3 has normal weather.

    Muppet Robin Hood comic coming April 29, 2009

    Really? I don't recall any such meeting in the Disney adaptation, or the Lynn Redgrave episode, or the WB shorts based on the story.

    bruno the trash man questions

    Ernie's Neighborhood and Oscar's Grouchy Sounds both show only a side view of Bruno. They don't show the back of his uniform. But it is shown at the end of Follow That Bird. It says "Trash Co."

    Brunos song

    I've seen this on youtube, and I noticed that the melody sounds similar to Mountain of Love. Actually, alot of doo-wop songs on Sesame Street sound similar. It's interesting that in the song, they are introduced as Bruno and the Trashmen, yet Bruno isn't the lead singer. Muppet Wiki...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Okay, I've read the ten-page online preview, and read the description at Muppet Wiki, but does the comci ever say what the letter Kermit got was all about? Seems like an important plot point, and the description at Muppet Wiki makes a point of mentioning it, but what is the letter about that...

    ToughPigs reviews Greatest Muppet Movie of All Time script

    Interesting that in that draft of the script the Muppets are practically absent for the first 15 minutes. Similar to how Space Jam spent too much time before getting to the Looney Tunes.

    Your Thoughts: Follow that Bird Anniversary DVD

    Well, I bought it, and the picture quality really is better than I had been used to. Interestingly, I watched a little of it in spanish, and the songs are still heard in english. I do find it odd that on the packaging, it lists Kermit the Frog as a copyright of The Jim Henson Company as opposed...

    Disney greenlights "The Muppet Show" comics

    That's good news for me. I went to both comic stores in my area, neither had it, one is going out of buisness, and the other one only sells back issues of comics.

    Yeah, that's where I saw a copy, but I had a Best Buy gift card on me and wanted to buy it there, only to not see it in stock.

    The Magic Apple

    I didn't know it either. And now my reply to that seems awkward to those who didn't see it earlier, since it appears to be an out-of-place comment regarding the link.

    Why wasn't MFS directed by a Henson director?

    Of course, Frank Oz did recieve directors credit for The Dark Crystal, though according to an interview he considered it to be Jim Henson's film, with Oz just helping out on a few scenes. I do wonder why the Sesame Street movies were directed by non-Sesame people (well, I assume that the EIG...
