When Lynn Klugman walked me down to the set from the Muppet office, she had fully intended to introduce me to Jim, and than get back to work, leaving me on the stage. When we came up on the screening room set, we found everyone pressed into service under the scaled-down chairs each working a...

They are actually long thin metal springs painted and dressed to look like drum sticks. The arm rods are attached to the part where the character would hold them, and the hands are attached over that. They do this to create the illusion of movement theat the character's wrists are actually...

Your thoughts on her firing? Mine.. 'bout time.

Oh this is weird..I'm trying to clear something up with Disney over one of his credits right now. They just released this 6 CD set on the musical history of Disneyland. It comes with a book written by Imagineer/historian Stacia Martin. In writing about the opening of The Haunted Mansion...

Hey! I did Little Bird in "The Muppet Movie"! You can see him/her on the extreme right of the "rainbow" group. The little spot of yellow against black and just below the bright pink Snowths-that's L.B.. One thing..I found out why he/she couldn't fly very well. The inside of the body is a...

I saw B.B. on the Street in the nest working with (the fake) Bert, and it was NOT Carroll, so maybe he's pulling a Regis/Johhny Carson bit and slowly pulling out while he passes the torch.

Not sure if this would be the proper Album to post this thread, but it didn't seem to fit anywhere else. I'm trying to find homes for a large assortment of fast-food toys I've gotten stuck wi..I mean cherished over the years, and before I do the eBay thing for all of them, I though somone...

O.K., so since Carroll isn't doing Big Bird any more, what about Oscar? (Not sure who the culprit is doing him, but Big Bird sounds like Barney The Dino on helium, and I hate the way they got both wings moving.) Have they ruined Oscar too? The couple of bits I saw recently could have been old...

That thinks Jessica Simpson is not that hott? That thinks that Kathy Griffin is? That feels "reality televison" is a contradiction in terms? That doesn't understand why Ryan Seacrest has all those jobs? That thinks names like "Apple", "Blanket", "Moses" of "Homer" are not the best...

He's the guy what stole Regis' "Best Game Show Host" EMMY Award that year. (Regis was p.o.'ed and left the ceremony in a huff!)

Yeah..I was REALL disappointed that NOTHING was done for the 25th. Maybe Henson was dealing with Disney at the time, but it was a bad business move for it to go totaly unnoticed. I would hope some day for a "special edition" of whatever kind of technology we'll be enjoying it on, with a new...

On this day (June 23) in 1979 "The Muppet Movie" opened! Happy 27th Birthday!

I'm assuming he was a contestant and not the "celebrity player"? Bruce is a great performer, incredible improvisationalist and a really nice guy. I got to puppeteer with him once, and when we were in discussions about a job possibility concerning me, he called me all the way from Germany...

I currently have a copy of the ORIGINAL LP album available on eBay. No link available, but you can search for the item or by my ID: tim321

Now I KNOW this is going to die a quick death. Year after year I see Jonny and Sal "improv" with "comic genius" Jerry Lewis on the Telethon in a talk show-like setting, and every year these segments drag on and on with out a single laugh. Lord know Jerry is NO Robin Williams, but every year...

Goodies & gifts: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZtimbarnes321QQhtZ-1 Auction already started, and will end Saturday June 24th!

Magic? Excellent? Classic? Given Henson's recent "track record" are you serious? Put Frank Oz behind the desk and you might have something, otherwise it's going to crash andf burn like everyhting else they've done lately.

Glad to hear it. I re-read it before I sent. Forgot the part about Henry Kissinger! THAT woulda been cool!

Oz and Brando-"Piggy" and "Porky".
