Yeah, I don't think Snuffy "became real" to avoid confusing kids. And it did sound like Frank Oz was surprised to hear Snuffy being real, but he has performed in many productions where Snuffy was real to everybody else, and I think his characters have been in scenes with Snuffy. But now that I...

Good interview. Though I couldn't actually tell whether Frank was saying that he didn't like the fact that Mr. Snuffleupagus is no longer thought of as Big Bird's imaginary friend.

Out of the episodes that I hadn't previously seen, the Cleo Lain episode was really the only one that wasn't as good as I'd expected. However, the Lou Rawls and Teressa Brewer episodes were a lot better than I'd expected (though I did have high expectations for these two episodes, but I also had...

I don't really know how to scan and post images, but I thought I'd talk a bit about my drawings of certain characters. Some characters are really easy to draw, including Kermit and Rowlf. I am sometiems bad at drawing Fozzie or Miss Piggy. I really like to draw Bunsen, Beaker, Lips, Crazy...

Some notes about these. Back when I made these, I didn't really like drawing real humans, or humans that weren't based on fictitious humans (even then, most humans that I drew were Muppets who are meant to be human. When drawing Looney Tunes characters I'd rarely drew pictures of Elmer Fudd or...

I wasn't sure where this kind of thread belongs, so I put it in General Discussions (I thought about putting it in Fan Fiction and Fan Art, but then thought the title might be misleading). After seeing the recent Tough Pigs contest where fans sent in drawings they made as kids (or was it...

I think that Disney does have some ownership of the Muppet movies that are owned by other companies. I believe that if Henson had any stakes in the films, Disney got them, but other companies have the distribution rights. It's a good thing that Disney doesn't seem to have a problem with the...

It's a shame that Fun4All and Palisades had to cancel their Sesame Street action figure lines, and that the anonymous company that considered makign Sesame Street figures chose not to get the license. Then again, we don't know if those companies ever intended on producing a Barkly figure. In...

Oh, yeah, and speaking of how Sony still owns a number of Muppet movies, I was recently at an FYE store that had a Disney section, and the only Muppet movies in that section were ones that Sony owns the rights to. How's that for irony (The Muppet Show: Season One was in the TV season sets section).

Except for Traveling Matt and the Sesame Street Muppets, who appear at the wedding. I don't know how it works, but the movie is still available on DVD. I don't know if the current release has the same features as the first one, but it has the same packaging. After Disney bought the Muppets...

I noticed an error in the Sam the Eagle tribute show. I think Steve Swansn was reading a letter which made the error, though. Anyway, it was said that Sam's first appearance on The Muppet Show was in episode 4. Actually, he apeared in episode 3, introducing Wayne and Wanda in Stormy Weather...

What if one of the dogs who played Lassie guest starred on The Muppet Show? What if a child star guest starred on The Muppet Show? What if Mr. Ed guets starred on The Muppet Show (I know that the horse who played Mr. Ed died by then, and I think the horse who was believed to be Mr. Ed after...

Sometimes I wonder how something is considered the "best". I especially wonder how the companies know what is the best. I've seen featurettes on the Looney Tunes: Golden Collections where it's mentioned that Warner Bros. often got mail from fans talkign about their favortie shorts. And with...

I wonder if there will be both a television special and a direct-to-DVD special (or are the direct-to-video specials reserved for anniversaries that multiply to five?). Some people here have expressed a desire for a special that's all-new. Well, Elmopalooza was all-new footage. That...

I've been noticing some things about the Muppet monsters in season two. Quite a few new monsters were built and introduced this season, while many of the older ones were used less (and after season two monsters would be used sparringly all-together). Boppity was used quite a bit this season...

If the first test show is included, then the sketch with Ernie talking about what body parts he has two of will be included twice, as it was in the first test show and episode 666. I don't know if this was included in any of the other test shows, but if I was in charge of these Old School sets...

Me so excited about this set. And 57 bonus sketches? Yummy! Errr, I mean, wonderful! Here's my hopes for the bonus segments (seasons are guesses): Season 6: Some of Us Are Here Telephone Rock The Royal Smart Person invents the toothbrush The Count and Ingrid count to 20 two animated...

I have also read that it's on at least one of the test pilots, but I am not sure which one. But it's not on the first test pilot.

I went through the trouble of mentioning performers for the newer characers, but failed to mention their Anything Muppet types. Well, here they are: *The kids: hot pink (Fran Brill voice), Reddish-Magenta (Frank Oz voice), Green (Jim Henson voice), and lavendar (Jerry Nelson voice). *Ice...

Well, that's three of us requesting Robin tributes. In addition to the characters that I suggested in my previous post, I think that it would be great to have tribute shows for the following: Rowlf Scooter Grover Sweetums Rizzo the Rat Mr. Snuffleupagus Herry Monster
