    Muley On Video

    That must be fun to see your own puppet flying around like Superman. Great work! Maybe SuperMule-y has a couple of accidents along the way ala Super Grover? Those accidents always get me laughing.

    Your Thoughts: Piggy, Jessica and Pizza Hut

    I just saw this commercial. I came on here to post about this, but ended up stuck in other threads. Muppets everywhere! I think this was the worst commercial of the bunch. Kermit's voice was 10% compared to 90% for the Ford commercial, and his mouth didn't match up with any of the "I'll have the...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit's Ford Super Bowl Commercial

    I loved the commercial, it was just plain amazing. To see Kermit doing all of those things for the first time . . . I watched it over and over. Now I know Jim made Kermit 'alive', but this commerical with all the CG and great puppetry has taken Kermit to a new level IMHO. It is enhanced...

    Jim Henson's Puppet Improv March 8-12

    "The show is being advertised as "definately not for children" "...... This sounds very cool, but it doesn't appear to be an original idea in terms of puppetry. Maybe a first for the Henson group, but a certain name comes to mind. Anyways, I hope they take it somewhere else and create a new...

    Webcams

    If you don't want to spend several hundreds of dollars on a DV camera, which is really the best option, maybe the second best option is the CVS digital disposable camera. Do a google, you can probably still find them on ebay. Good quality for web and about $30 bucks for the camera and $20 for...

    new puppet on ebay ding the bat

    I don't remember seeing the video either, it is a great puppet. Judging by Dingbat's voice I would guess you can do a pretty good Elmo.

    Woman is murdered on Carol Spinney property

    Sorry, I should have stated up front that I don't think the woman had anything to do with Carol Spinney. I think Carol has a large wooded property and that may have been a good place to dump a body . . . not that I would know about either. Big Bird and Oscar are fine, as well as Carol's...

    Woman is murdered on Carol Spinney property

    Just heard about it on Fox News. Too bad for the woman. I got really scared when I heard murder and 'the performer who plays Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street' in the same sentence. I know, not a very positive thread, but it is muppet i guess

    Inspired By Auditions

    Lab Rat: Those are to die for. Both the originals and the Muppets, but man that muppet pic is the coolest picture I have ever seen on here.

    Kermit Puppet in Iowa

    They had Kermit on display at the Childrens Museum of Indianapolis last year along with other Muppet, Sesame Street and Mister Rogers items. It was a "Puppet" theme month, and they also had live puppeteers perform for kids. Unfortunately, when I made the trip to see Kermit he wasn't there...

    I love the worm! Wonder how I could turn him into Slimey? I have always wanted to have a Slimey. Great work.

    Ernie and Bert on the Auction Block... Again

    These are the same pictures, and the positive feedback from the first B&E auction leads me to believe the seller is making / has made another pair of puppets. The first auction went for over $1,200 and since then they feel they deserve $600 for each puppet they put on ebay (jim, beaker, elmo)...

    Muppets Auditions Sept 2005+

    I think there were nearly 60 people there - it was fun meeting some of you and seeing some of the puppets (in the lobby). Zack was great with Sabastian and deserved to go back today. I would have met up for dinner, but the Indinapolis Colts biggest game of the year was last night and I couldn't...

    Muppets Auditions Sept 2005+

    Thanks guys, I feel better after your comments and a couple of beers. It did seem like 30% of the people had no clue about puppet technique and went because they lived in Toronto. I thought I had a chance! Maybe there will be another chance, I feel like it's "something I'm s'posed to be"...

    Muppets Auditions Sept 2005+

    Well, just got back from the auditions. I was number 42 and our whole group of 10 got cut. I feel like an idiot, and keep kicking myself because . . . I didn't fill out the back side of the audition form. I did not check that I could do any Muppet voices! Why didn't I turn over the page?!? I...
