...for a great auction! Many a home was found for my Muppet Stuff. Be on the lookout for another eBay sale soon. New items and second chance dups! Thanks again!

O.K., we've all seenthe film a million times, and thanks to the dvd freeze button, we know the film frame by frame. So what bloopers left in the film have you noticed? I'm not talking about plot holes like in the "Max As A Phoney Office" thread, I 'm talking about technical bloopers that...

Ending date and time is Satruday 4/21 9:45 a.m. (PST)

Sometimes it's a contractual things (people aren't legally supposed to be there), sometimes a Union issue (Union performers working non), a career decision (taking a smaller non-speakeing roll when their reps are trying to get bigger jobs for them) and sometimes it'e personal (fiends helping...

I'm sure everyone switched off at times. I mean, if they used my arm to block a scene for lighting, then anyone could jump in just to get a shot done.

As for Eren, I spoke briefly with her husband many years ago, and know people who knew her, like Cheryl Blaylock. I would like to know more about her early days and her stage experience. I would LOVE to find more photos, particularly production shots of her working, but so far, nothing. I...

Actually most of the larger characters come apart in many pieces since some parts wear out before others. But they are designed to come off in fewer parts in case of an emergency. Big Bird is actually in 6 or 8 parts (it was kind of sad to see him decapitated once) and it's only th every large...

O.K.. that's a pretty complicated question/statement, but I'll offer what I can. First of all, the entertainment industry in general has changed so much from when Jim started out. Even 20 years ago, he was frustrated at how long it took him to actually sell "Emmitt Otter" since, as he said...

Fleet Scribler if you count tabloids, but going back to "The Muppets Valentines Special" there was a character Jim did named Wally who was the Kermit of that show. As he wrote the show, the typewriter letters appeared, and the stuff that he wrote took place as he wrote it.

I think that everything that was shipped from New York or the UK was used in the film. Puppet historian Alan Cook was in the old New York shop at the time and tiold me "there were maybe 3 Muppets left in the whole place"-an exageration, but I don't think they would have shipped anything they...

I'm still trying to find out all I can about Eren Ozker. She was incredibly fastenating, and real inspiration for me. This is what I know. I didn't meet her on "Muppet Movie", and I don't know how she came to Muppets exactly, but I'm sure it was through an audition to replace Fran Brill...

Thanks for helping with the link. I'm still kinda new to eBay, and haven't figured out all the bells and whistles yet, like how to steer people toward my stuff. Keep watching though, as I have a few more Muppet items not listed, and TONS of Disney for folks who collect that.

FYI I have a copy of "BO SAVES THE SHOW" right now on eBay, and no one has bid so far!!! Auction ends Saturday morning 4/22 use my eBay ID timbarnes321 to find my stuff!

I was told that "Muppets Tonight" was shot at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood across the street from Paramount Pictures, since that was where the West Coast Henson offices were set up before they bought Chaplin Studios. I believe "Rosanne" was done at CBS Studio Center in Studio City where Muppet...

Probably..but don't forget he was working with Jane before he met Frank, and Kermit was single, and he hired Jerry Juhl before Frank and there was no "writer"-type chaaracter in the movie before Fozzie, and Jim went to New York before Hollywood, and he made his living from tv comercials, and...

You would have to thank Eren for that story. She was so neat to hang around with, or even just talk to on the phone (I called her a lot with questions and problems I was having with people and productions). I only got to actually move foam with her one time, but don't think I didn't ask for...

John Landis DID direct The Muppets..well, Piggy and Gonzo anyway, for the "Disneyland's 40th Anniversary" special. Did a pretty good job, too. The material was servicable, and they did have Frank and Dave performing. Brian's proven himself in the positive and negative. It's pretty sad when...

Jim Henson, Jerry Juhl and Frank Oz WERE the Muppets. No matter how successful each would have been on their own, these people were born to work together-period. Why aren't things the same? First, no Jim, no Jerry and Frank can't do it alone. There are very good people still with the...

"The Muppet Show" took over a year to really "catch on" at least here in the States, and Jim had to call in a lot of friends to take a chance and appear on the show. Later on, the got over booked and had to actually turn down people like Paul Mcartney since they were going out of production...

Well, to be fair, it was the early days of the show and they were still figuing things out. I truly don't think they "made" anyone do anything they didn't want to do. Elton John was of course know for the costumes, and Gene kelly's "take" on "Singin' In the Rain" was well known. I think his...
