Ken's got a good point. I bet Jim Hensen was his dad's poker buddy and gave it to the kid. Technically it wouldn't be a lie, but it definately is misleading and not very ethical. C

I agree with your list 100%. Amazing work there. I would also add "Vincent", the short by Tim Burton from '83 or '84 to that list.

Manda, I think each "episode" was 2-3 hours. It was very long. It was totally geared towards the pre-school crowd. My little sister liked this show.. I liked watching the puppet segments, but that was it. The theme song was the type of song that stuck in your head.. and the worst possible...

wow Ken, Keep the weird mega-beaker hair fiasco in mind in case you are ever approached by Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey to do figs of their clowns. http://www.ringling.com/explore/133/stars/bello.asp Chris (clowns scare me)

the hotjobs commercial online http://www.yahoo.com/s/55386 or http://hotjobs.sweepstakes.yahoo.com/biggame/media/index.html a link is also off the main yahoo.com website below the yahoo logo. C

I'm guessing the prop statue is made of foam and just painted to look like stone. It would be nice if it was kept, but a lot of times things like this end up getting scrapped after the production wraps. I was watching a special on Central Park on the Travel Channel this past weekend and a...

Valentine Could Pull Muppet Strings with Bid to Acquire Jim Henson Co. (Hollywood Reporter) -- Former UPN president and CEO Dean Valentine has emerged as the latest suitor to field an offer for the Jim Henson Co. Sources said Valentine has eyed Kermit and Co. as the foundation for a...

If memory serves me correctly- Woodstock doesn't have any speaking/singing lines in this production (or even the follow up- Snoopy!). Unfortunately, my memory doesn't recall exactly what type of interactions Woodstock has. Disney's California Adventure is about to open a production of...

Thanks Thanks, Quinn. I appreciate it. C

Gang, I'm not really familiar with this character. From reading the messages, I've learned that he is from Muppets Tonight, performed by Steve, and not one of the more beloved "newer" characters. Looking in other areas of Muppet Central, I found that his picture is on Gonzo's cereal box in...

Good Idea If one of your friends happens to be a "Nielsen family" make sure you have the party at their digs.

CG- You misunderstood my statements completely and obviously took them as a personal attach which I clearly stated that it wasn't. I did question if you were doing your own research or if you were just taking what you were reading off your cited websites as fact. Here is why I questioned...

It is definately a great piece. The best thing about this auction is that it did provide really detailed pics of the guy. Enough details that if someone had the time, they could probably make a good reproduction if they wanted to.

CG- why concentrate on Entertainment companies? why not expand it to all companies that have their items produced in overseas production houses? Look at one item that we all use everyday... clothing. I'm sure that you've already looked at the labels of all of your clothes and did the research...

Hey guys, I know there are probably more than a few of you who mess around with photoshop either for fun or profit (or maybe "fun & profit"). There is a site that I've been checking out for around 6 months or so called "worth1000.com" and they host daily photoshop contests-- either they will...

Guys- while searching Goodwill and the Salvation Army over the weekend for pieces of a halloween costume, I just happened to find a copy of "Ol' Brown Ears is Back" for sale. As with most finds like this, it was deep within a bin. Anyway, the CD is in great condition, the jewel case was...

You may find a little info here: http://disney.go.com/disneyvideos/anim.html Lion King is coming out on IMAX soon, so it may be next in line for the extra special DVD treatment. Chris

Often parrots that are pining for the fjords are mistaken for being dead. The Norwegian Blues are very prone to this. Chris

There was a "Fight Club" parody that was circulating around the internet about this very topic- it is called "Figure Club" and deals with the trials and tribulations of "Do you leave it MIB or do you open it and play with it as it was intended to be?". It can be found by going to...

Did you catch the MGM Parade? Kermit and Piggy (and sometimes Sweetums) have a car in the "Stars & Motor Cars" parade that they have every day at the studios. The Muppet Show theme is also worked into the parade music. I'm sure there are pics of it somewhere on the net (maybe...
