    The MuppetCast - Show #46 - Macho, Macho Pigs

    Yes, there is. I think the singer's name is spelled Layla Salonga, and she sang it in episode 3154. She sang it at a Birdkateer meeting, to a duck who wanted to be a good singer.

    Sesame Podcasts

    This weeks podcast was about the word "sigh". Man, I wish I could remember which "word on the street" and "word of the day" segments were used...;) Sigh.... Anyway, the contents include: cartoon: the word "sigh" appears on-screen clip montage: Bert, Grover, and Kermit all sigh, as the...

    Gladys, Fred, and Buster

    It seems to me like Gladys the Cow, Fred the Wonder Horse, and Buster the Horse all started out as generic animal characters, before having regular names and personalities. I beleive Muppet Wiki mentions that Gladys was around for years before he was given a name and established...

    Next Muppetcast Guest Poll

    I voted for Kevin Clash. And some topics I'd like to hear asked about in his interview. I'd like to know what he did in Follow That Bird. I know that he was just an addiitonal muppet performer, but it would be great to know some good behind-the-scenes information on that movie as well...

    There's been 23 podcast epsiodes so far. Only three more epsidoes to go before all of the "word on the street" segments have been used, and then we'll know what will hapen with the podcast next. We'll find out if a different topic is used for the epsidoes (like "Letter of the Day" or "Number of...

    matleo's annual toy fair trip

    The licensing problem with A Frog is Born could have somethign to do with Sam and Friends. I hear that Universal owns the distribution rights to the series. I can't imagine there being many problems with using Sesame Street clips, as a few Disney DVD releases have included Sesame Street clips in...

    The MuppetCast - Show #45 - The MC Forum Awards Ceremony

    I didn't realise that there was an awards thread (and I have voted in awards threads in the past). It's a shame that I didn't vote (or win anything.... But I guess I deserve not to win). But during a few of the awards, I correctly preditced who was going to be announced the winner (I correctly...

    would a Jim Henson version of In Search of Dr. Seuss work?

    My thoughts would be to have a reporter come to the boarding house to interview Kermit about Jim Henson, and throughout the special (or movie) Kermit would get interrupted by other Muppets, some of whom just report problems in the house, others who want to talk about themselves (and maybe some...

    would a Jim Henson version of In Search of Dr. Seuss work?

    A few plot ideas that I've thougth of for such an idea: Two kids go to the library to do research on Jim Henson for a school report, and at one point they either enter a room that's restricted from vistors or press a red button, and suddenly walls burst and the kids are taken through a sequence...

    Sesame Street Space DVD, Your Thoughts on the possibility of such a release?

    Recently, I realised that there haven't been any Sesame Street videos or DVDs themed around outer space. I was thinking that this would be a good idea for a DVD release. There are many space-themed Sesame Street sketches that could be included, including the Spaceship Surprise sketches, anything...

    would a Jim Henson version of In Search of Dr. Seuss work?

    Has anybody seen the TV movie In Search of Dr. Seuss? Wouldn't a Jim Henson version of that movie be great? I don't mean substituting Dr. Seuss and his creations with Jim Henson and the Muppets, but a similar style. Of course, I guess it would be funny for The Jim Henson Company to have the...

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    I think it's a bit sad that the doozers seem to just be random doozers, not Cotterpin (or The Architect, or Flang, or Wignut, or Wrench). However, I guess it wouldn't be too bad buying many boxes of Doozers. Then people could have many generic doozers. Too bad the other characters don't have...

    Betsy Bird Appreciation Thread

    You know, I've never seen her one musical number, or the 1920s tribute sketch (where she supposedly appears). I've never heard her voice. I have nothing to say about her. Fletcher Bird is much better. It's a shame that she didn't at least return for background appearances, such as in the...
