FYI-Did you know Kathryn Mullin wrote a lot of the "Mosnters" scripts under a ficticious name? (Not sure just why-maybe a Union situation.)

Don't hold your breath. "Cars" was just test-marketed my industry analysis, and film critics, and it came it nearly two and a half time HIGHER than "Nemo". Anything could happen but by all accounts this this is going to be MONSTER. Kermit the who?

Seems like Jim and Don Sahlin like either blue or green a lot since so many of their creations were one of the other.

I've written at length about the poor Disney/Muppet situation her, so I won't re-hash again. While it's true Eisner was personal friends with Jim since he used to head up ABC, whether or not he actually "liked" them, is irrelevant to what happened-or rather didn't at Disney. (Personally I...

Cookie's origin's seem really confused. I'd heard he was created for "The Great Santa Claus Switch", but that's too late. You can see Jim performing him on the Ed Sullivan DVD eating a computer. There's a story about him in the "Sesame Street Unpaved" book (I think) where one of the writers...

My guess is that they used anyone handy. Jim I'm sure tried to find qualified female puppeteers for years and Fran was pretty much it for the longest time. To my knowledge, Jane never really did voices, Frank did a few, and since some of those bits were lip-sincet, they could have been anyone...

Muppets need what Disney got-a John Lassiter to ride in and save the day. Any volunteers?

Dick and Rita Moreno hosted "The Muppets Go Hollywood" Special. That should have been included on the 50th Muppet Movie DVD.

o.K., I'm doing the eBay thing again, this time with copies of the script for "The Fantastic Miss Piggy Show" and and early draft of "The Muppet Movie" complete with swamp creature! I'm also doing a "second chance" for some of the "vintage" items that didn't find a home before, and a few new...

Thanks. I'm sorry to vent, but being a major Walt Disney fan, I see what's happening to his memory. I would hate to see the same happen to Jim, especially with all the technology that is available, to anyone who cares to know more about him. I would love to see someone start a cable channel...

Well, we will just have to agree to disagree. However you wish to remember a loved one is fine for you. I don't like of go to funerals, and the only way I would be caught in a cemetary would be dead. But I feel that a memorial service or other get together to remember someone close is another...

The main problem is that people in general even so called "fans" these days have a VERY short memory. I won't even get into attentions spans and instant everythings, but if it didn't happen today it's "old school". Sure, there are still people lighting candles for Elvis and holding seances for...

Then we might as well shut down 90% of the internet. Fan-based websites all use copyrighted photos and other material "not meant to be duplicated in any way, shape or form" that is protected legally. I believe it is ALWAYS TOTALLY WRONG to be profiting from any of this, and feel that doing so is...

If it was never meant to be seen then the press and general public would not have been invited and clips and quotes of such would never have been made available. (There was a very private gettogether at the Muppet Mansion just for family, friends and co-workers. This is NOT part of that, and...

I've been trying to get a copy for myself, and even though I am one who NEVER goes to funerals, I don't find this "goulish" at all. (Personally, I think the TV show "Fanily Plots" is MUCH more goulish.) It's a MEMORIAL NOT A FUNERAL! Now if it was footage of Jim's body actually being cremated...

If Disney does cut him then they have to cut Kenny Rogers and his phone-sex scandel as well.

Why would they re-run that disaster? It came it 3rd out of 4 networks-behind Fox! From the couple of minuets I could sit through of that thing, it just layed there like some nightmarish unfunny blob. Jim Hill Media did a whole take on it and why it wound up to be the mess it was. And you...

Not if you can use it to win on a game show!

Hope she didn't get her lines confused: "Sesame street is brought to you today by the number TWO!"

Not to nitpick, but it was actually LIFE Magazine that had that photo on the cover. PEOPLE had Jim holding Kermit with the caption "The last haunting days of Jim Henson". I remeber this because that week I was at a Hollywood newsstand buying up everything I could find that had coverage of his...
