    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 2

    If The Muppets on Muppets featured any of Jerry Nelson's characters, then I think we would have known for sure sooner whether it was made for the DVD or not, as Jerry Nelson has retired from performing his Muppet Show characters. I guess Nelson wasn't available for those interviews back when...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 2

    Wait... Do you know for sure that Link would have needed to be rebuilt? I know that he hasn't appeared in puppet form in anything new since Muppets From Space (though I haven't paid much attention to info on Muppet TV). I wouldn't be surprised if Lips needs to be rebuilt as well.

    Old School Volume 2 coming this fall

    It's great to know that Don Music will be on this set (I assume that the websites source is from either Sesame Workshop or Genius Products). It's interesting that the article mostly mentions the more obscure characters (Don Music, Guy Smiley, Roosevelt Franklin, and Fat Blue).

    Lubbock Lou and his Jughuggers vs real life

    I thought I read some posts on the old Muppet Central forum long ago that they were based on their performers, though I hardly see any resemblence to any of the performers. If they are meant to resemble their performers, then Jerry should have had a beard, Zeke's hair and beard should have been...

    Dr. Teeth and Janice

    It's a bit hard to determine who was quitting, the Electric Mayhem or the orchestra. At the time Janice wasn't part of the orhcestra, and all of the orhcestra members except for Rowlf and Crazy Harry (who was only part of the orhcestra in the openign and closing, but never in any actual episodes...

    Dr. Teeth and Janice

    It's a bit funny to think that in the Kaye Ballard episode, Dr. Teeth didn't talk, but Zoot and Trumpet Girl, two characters who don't speak much, had lines.

    Monster Circus

    Chapter 8 "Hey, out of our way!", said Sweetums, "We're escaping from being slaughtered!" "That's why you were delivered here", said the ringmaster. "Huh?", said the monster. "The three of us are very good friends", said the foreman of the slaughterhouse. "When you knocked my...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 2

    I guess that for the menus, only Steve Whitmire and Eric Jacobson (and another performer for Fozzie's right hand) were hired, and only their characters were there. But maybe one of the disc menus could have had Link Hogthrob and Miss Piggy, since Link has been performed by Steve Whitmire on a...

    Monster Circus

    Chapter 7 The robots were cornering the monsters. "Ohhh, ohhhhh, what'll we do?", asked Thog. "You will die", said one of the robots. "I was asking Doglion", said Sweetums. "How should I know what to do?", asked Doglion. But then a big steamroler suddenly ran into the wall...

    Monster Circus

    Chapter 6 Sweetums was scarred. He then saw most of his life flash before his eyes. Memories of chasing the Muppets car from Mad Man Mooney's car dealership, chasing women out of a tent, running through a movie screen, falling into a sewer, battling Sir Robin the Brave, carrying Rita Moreno...

    Announcing the MuppetCast

    Well, I've added a Muppet Wiki page for the book, based on what I know about the book. And somebody else added a cover image. I know that there are also Sesame Street books in that series (if you look at the scans you can see an image of Big Bird, Bert, and Ernie on the back cover, along...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38

    I liked the scene with Fat Blue. However, I was editing Muppet Wiki at the time I was watching this episode (I was preparing a sketch listing for that episode, typing skits as they appeared in the episode). But when Fat Blue said "Why me?", I thought I heard a Martin Robinson voice, and I then...

    Monster Circus

    Chapter 5 The train had stopped at the front of the slaughter house. "Everybody get out!", said the ringmaster. "Oh, good", said Thog, "Now I can go to the restroom". "And I can stretch my legs", said Mo. "You should have told me you wanted them stretched when we were on the...

    Play With Me Sesame DVD's in October

    For those who have seen the international releases (and actual episodes), are the other releases actual episodes of thow show (maybe one or two or more per release), or are theyh basically compilations of segments from Play with me Sesame and Sesame Street (I think I've heard that these DVD...

    What do you think the 40 anniversary will be about....

    I'm liking some of these ideas. I like the idea of The Count counting each year, and the idea of the Muppets celebrating Sesame Street. One great idea might be to highlight the shows top 40 moments. Maybe Sesame Workshop can have fans vote for their favorite moments online, and then they can...

    Monster Circus

    Chapter 4 The monsters were getting ready to travel. They were at the site of the circus train, but they were passing the time by practicing new acts. "I'm gonna bend bars", said Gloat, who took out a metal bar and attempted to bend the bar. Of course, he failed. "You failed", said...

    Muppets in Toyfare's 100 Greatest Toys

    Actually, Angus was planned, then replaced by Sweetums, who was then replaced by Statler. At the time Statler an dWaldorf were both going to come with a theater stage playset, then they were planned for release on their own and Sweetums was planned for the theater stage, but eventually that...

    Announcing the MuppetCast

    I listened to the podcast episode where It's the Muppet Show was discussed, and I looked at the scans of the book. I remember reading it a long time ago, but there are only two things in it that I remembered (the cover, and the page with Sweetums, a Mutation, and Thog). Nothing else even rang a...

    Monster Circus

    Chapter 3 Next, one of the Mutations was about to jump through three hoops of fire while on a motorcycle. The Mutation was on his motorcycle, on a ramp, and was ready to jump... But then the tires broke before he could get off the ramp, and he fell down. "And now, here's the amazing balloon...

    Muppets in Toyfare's 100 Greatest Toys

    I would have put Lew Zealand, Beauregard, and Clifford on the list. Out of the figures I don't have, I would have put Uncle Deadley, The Jim Henson Muppet, the backstage playset, and either Vanishing Cream Beaker or Super Beaker.
