    Cool site, but what's the story on the pictures? Where..and how did you get them?

    Anyone like Laurel & Hardy?

    It's a shame they don't run their stuff more often. I think they would be as popular as The Three Stooges if they did. I heard that in real life, they lived across the street from one another, and rather than use the phone, they used to get on the roof and hollar to each other. Not sure if...

    Question about non-Muppet recording

    The show was so popular, there might have been sevreral out there like that. I had one from the famous "Peter Pan" label that did lot's of kid's records and popular sound-alikes. I think it was call "Muppet Music" or something like that. It was weird, since the voices were no where near the...

    "Bob" on "To Tell The Truth"

    Anyone see the Game Show network's "Black & White Overnight's" airing of the original "To Tell The Truth". A VERY young Bob McGrath appeared, and the panel had to figure our which one was the "boy singer" having a huge career in Japan singing American songs in Japanese. I think we all know...

    I will be EXTREMELY impressed if you remember this...

    The thing I remember was the "island" being made of sand-covered styrofoam, since as he crawled up on it, the hollow-sounding "beach" squeeked.

    Working with Frank Oz.

    Frank is an extremely driven man and perfectionist when it comes to his own work. He only expects everyone else to do their best as well, and who can blame him? The Carroll Spinney hand-holding thing I heard about from a couple of different people years ago. Carroll is a brillian...

    See Jim Henson’s Puppet Improv Company Live in Hollywood!

    NOTE TO FRONT OFFICE: Quality G rated material generates 3-5 times the cash than "adult" material, and Jim's one attempst at this kind of stuff ("Saturday Night") didn't work. I personally know Brian's been moving toward doing this kind of material for years. We've pretty much killed...

    Ernie's Rubber Duckie

    I had heard that it was a something they got from some obscure second-hand or toy shop, but I don't know that for a fact. You probably remember that they had a real "Ernie's Rubber Duckie" available for a little while. Funny you don't see THOSE on eBay.

    performing the Two-Headed Monster

    Poor right-handed Jerry Nelson. He had to perform his half of the Two-Headed-Monster "lefty", that is, with his left hand working the mouth, and his right the monster's hand. Fortunately, he's such a great performer he was more than able to pull it off, but you can still tell the work isn't as...

    Auction Ending!

    I'm starting another auction Saturday June 17. Probably more Disney stuff this time around, but I'll be offerinf a couple of the Muppet things that have yet to find homes, and some interesting new non-Muppet items as well. Now if I could only find a resonably priced Palisades Series 1-2 Zoot...

    New Talk Show: Late Night Buffet

    Even if it is true, I'm not impressed. I shot a pilot for a late-nighe talk show Dick Clark developed for a puppet character I did over 10 years ago. And ALF was successful with the same idea more recently. There have even been local puppet-hosted talk shows around for years. Can't Henson...

    The LETDOWN of Disney

    More is only "more" and not always better. Jim and his Muppets were only successful in the first place because they were different from and better than other "puppet acts" seen on televison. The originality of what they were doing and the pure hard work, genius and talent transended "puppetry"...

    The LETDOWN of Disney

    I couldn't have said it better. I think that if the Muppets are going to be owned by anyone, Disney has the potential of being the best place for them I remember the press saying as the original deal was going through, that it was "a marraige made in show business heaven", and at the time that...

    Useless (but still interesting) Muppet trivia!

    We're getting off-topic, but when Kermit and Fozzie were on the "Tonight" show back in '76 promoting their (then) new series, Johnny specifically asked them "Is this a childrens' show?", Kermit kidded "No, it's for frogs." then quickly explained "It's for families." The anphibian speaks.

    Female Anything Muppets

    I forget where-a print article or interview with her many years ago. She had just mentioned in passing doing voice work with The Muppets, and I only knew her (at that time) from "The Electric Company", but always liked her and knew her voice real well. She also did the "Hole In The Bucket"...
