Oh man, I'd LOVE to see FRIGHTMARE ALLEY puppets! I'd help you out if I could, but man, my construction skills are pretty pitiful compared to most other people, that any puppet caricatures I'd crank out of Sebastian Hexx, Chip Whitley, or Master Deat's would look awful.

I do that all the time, and come up clean.

Well dude, a lot of these shows are like that... just look at ARTHUR: TELETUBBIES first hit American airwaves in 1998, and slowly fell into obscurity by the time their LOVE DUCKS parody surfaced in 2000. Similarly, WIMZIE'S HOUSE was on Canadian TV from 1997 to 1998, and on American TV from 1998...

Yep. Every ten minutes on the minute (9:01, 9:11, 9:21, you get the picture), you hear the click, even though I haven't clicked on anything. I'm guessing it's some program of something running in the background, but figuring that out...

Why does my computer automatically click every ten minutes on the minute?

Well, what's the deal with them filming two seasons a year now? Does it have something to do with their budget or the production values or something? Caroll has mentioned before that in the old days, they used to tape two episodes a day because of how simple the show was, but when their...

I think polygraphs are basically designed to make everybody who takes it seem as if they're lying, whether they are or not... I mean, do you ever hear of someone actually PASSING a polygraph test?

:sigh: I guess I'm gonna have to order Season Four of Rocko, since none of the stores wanna carry it, and are only selling the Complete Series set. Have I mentioned how much I hate when this happens?

And they're probably worth less than that anyway. I haven't bought anything from eBay since 2008 since they went and made Paypal the only form of payment... which is so nice, considering eBay isn't as secure a site as it used to be.

Here's what I had to say about it:

It depends on the production and how the network canceled the show. You only have to have three or four episodes completed prior to broadcast, so I'm sure in some cases, but not all, depending on how early or late the show is canceled, they may cease production altogether, or if the series is...

A user over at Hubert's forum (whom I'm almost certain is producer/director Greg Bailey) revealed that the actual word that D.W. heard and used in "Bleep" was apparently "p!$$ off". The script and storyboard used the word "chicken" as a substitute, feeling that both Marc Brown and WGBH would get...

I don't think "crap" was ever a full-on cuss word so much as it was one of those words that kids weren't allowed to say... kind of like "fart", or the actual names for certain body parts. EDIT: Ziffeled.

I remember thinking it was strange that network airings of some movies like LITTLE GIANTS redubbed the word "crap" with something else, but then again, that was back in the 90s, when "crap" was considered a "bad word". As much as they allow on TV nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised if they...

One more question: based on what I have seen of some people's WIPs and tutorials, would it help eliminating the sneer if there was some kind of a slight curvature to the edges of the foam that would be glued to the mouthplates? And if so, should those edges being glued to the mouthplate be...

Before I attempt this again, I'm wondering, does having any kind of lining on the back of the mouthplate have any affect on the process? That was one mistake I learned from when using cardboard mouthplates and having no protection on the back of them from sweaty hands, thus causing the cardboard...

I'm guessing they just recently started doing that then.

Really? They must have just started doing that, because I don't recall ever seeing them cut anything out from Muppet movies before. Well no, I take that back, they pretty much completely omit "The Love is Gone" from MCC, but I believe that's only available on home video anyway, so yeah.

For smaller puppets, yes, like Ella the Elf, her eyes are plastic spoons, but most of my puppets are larger, and so plastic spoon eyes look somewhat disproportionately small on them. Someone on here was talking a while back, it may have been Steve (Melonpool, not D'Monster), saying that he...

Heh, fortunately or unfortunately, my puppets all have cardboard eyes, so whenever I need to add on eyelids and such for certain scenes, I basically cut pieces of fleece about half and inch bigger than the eyes themselves, then pin them on by pinning the excess fabric behind the eyes themselves...
