    Advise from former Snuffy

    To Michael Earl: When you say that Jim Henson hired you sight-unseen, do you mean that he hired you without even meeting you (and without an interview or audition), or do you mean that literally? Because I don't think it should really matter what a puppeteer looks like, since the audience...

    The Complete History of Mahna Mahna and his alter ego Bip Bipadotta

    How do you know that they couldn't find the original puppet and therefore rebuilt him? Do you have insider information on the subject? I find it weird that Henson saw a need to rebuild Mahna Mahna for that production, since he's just in the background and has no significance. And from what I...

    Questionably Educational SST Skits

    For some reason I never questioned the educational value of I Love Trash.

    What DVDs would you want for 2008?

    I think that Old School Volume 3 and Puppet Up Uncensored would be the msot likely to get a DVD release next year (or least unrealistic). We're getting Old School Vol. 2 this year, and if that sells well then we sould get a volume 3 (though I don't know if it will be a 1980s edition or if Sesame...

    Dr. Teeth and Janice

    Now that I think about it, Dr. Teeth did talk to Zoot in the first three Muppet movies. And I forgot that Janice and Zoot did interract with each other regularly during the first season. And I think Dr. Teeth occassionally interracted with Animal. But otherwise it's Floyd talking with the band...

    Dr. Teeth and Janice

    Actualy, Lips gets the least spotlight (it helps if casual fans are hardly aware that he exists). He's hardly appeared on any merchandise (posters, books, puzzles... and many other obscure characters have appeared in a lot more merchandise, whetehr illustrated or not... I don't know if it's too...

    Dr. Teeth and Janice

    That's what I meant. But right now, I realised that Floyd seems to be the one who interracts with other members of the band the most. The others (excluding Lips, who never spoke to anybody) just talk to Floyd, and rarely with the others. In the openign number for the Rudolph Nureyev epsidoe, Dr...

    book: I want to go home

    Well, I know the plot now, thanks to the review of the video in the thread about what's on each Sesame Street video.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 2

    I think I might be wrong with my "newer master" theory. I noticed that on this DVD, the "Jim Henson Television" logo appears. I'm guessing that Odyssey edited the special, and that's the only channel that I would expect to have seen that logo. I think it's strange that the logo was there...

    Dr. Teeth and Janice

    Besides the At the Dance segment from the Teresa Brewer episode, have Dr. Teeth and Janice ever interracted?

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 2

    If it was owned by the Jim Henson Company and not any other companies, then Disney would have most likely gotten the rights to it (just like Disney did with the Muppet Show, the movies, and the many specials). And even if it was made around the time of Muppets From Space, that wouldn't...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 2

    If anybody here attends the Muppets, Music and Magic event, it might be a good idea to ask Dave Goelz if Frank Oz performed in The Muppets on the Muppets, or if it was indeed produced for the DVD or earlier (it's possible that Dave Goelz doesn't know if Frank Oz performed in the feature, since...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 2

    Hmmm... If The Muppets on the Muppets was made around the time of Muppets From Space, then I wonder what it was produced for/ as (a television special? a DVD featurette? Odyssey Chanel insertials, similar to the Muppetisms?). But if it had been produced that many years ago and wasn't released...

    What DVDs would you want for 2008?

    Are you reffering to the special, the series, or both? Because the special was released in the UK.

    What DVDs would you want for 2008?

    A very good idea, though I think that the set fr the first season should include another episode or two that wasn't shown on Noggin. Maybe episode 121 (so we can know once and for all if the number one actually sponsored it).

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 2

    I haven't watched it yet (I've already seen the Valentines special and the Weezer video), but the review says that it is uncut. I wonder if the constant editing of that number comes from a new master being used in all broadcast since the edited one, just like A Muppet Family Christmas and...

    New Muppet Show Rumor

    Ever since 2000, we've heard news of a new Muppet show being planned, but so far none of these (with the exception of the french Muppet TV) have been made as official series. In 2000, it was announced that there would be a new Muppet Show from EM.TV, with 26 epsiodes planned. I don't know if...

    Sesame Street Celebrates 5 Years

    I've never seen him in live action form either. The Muppet Wiki pages for a few season three episodes mention him in the descriptions from the CTW archives, but I don't think any of us fans have any memory of seeing him, or any video or audio footage of him. I figure that Jerry Nelson performed...
