Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
In general I have been interested in the periphery Muppets. I love the main cast as well, but when and whenever Annie Sue or Baskerville etc. showed up I was pleased. Keep in mind when The Muppet Show first season aired I was either 5 or 6. One or both of my parents would watch it with me...
It's not quite the same as a voice changing but as one gets older the vocal cords become looser and fat can build up on the larynx and esophagus, so it can affect the timber of the voice. And it is really when a person's metabolism changes not a particular age that starts the process. Voice...
The double talk is what I found most problematic. If there had been some sort of press announcement similar to Sonia's where it was announced the following actors will not be returning/returning in reduced roles that would have been upfront. We would have heard from each actor and seen that...
I am speculating here, but I would guess the 50th anniversary special - maybe not the season is already in the works. This is a huge milestone for any kind of program, let alone one as iconic as Sesame Street. I would bet, or at least hope, that they are filming interviews or inserts with all...
The correct answer to this question is Beautiful Day Monster (I remember when he had teeth!). He is now one of my most favorite characters and I hope and wish a figure or plush or something of him were made - far fetched eh?
Heralde is correct that the musical numbers (not just The Mayhem) were pre-recorded and then the Muppeteers would perform the characters to the track being played. I assume this technique was used in the films as well. As for Outlands - someone, and I honestly do not remember who, but someone...
A different way of thinking of this question is if you could choose one Muppet Show to be erased from the cannon and replace it with a different guest star/or the same guest star with a different plot what would you swap out and put in it's place?
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans did not really do it...
I am enjoying these a lot. I am not sure if they have a formula yet per se, but I like how in both of the videos we get some Muppets, some non-Muppet related questions and a mini interview with a crew member that we fans may only know as a name in the credits. Also there is music. Also...
I enjoyed it. I had hoped these videos would be serialized like old Flash Gordon shorts, but if they are taking the route of spoofing various Sci-Fi films that is also very good. I love the trio of main characters, but I am also happy we had another member of the starring cast and a new puppet...
I take a bit of solace in that Florence was in the audience of Dancing with the Stars on Monday to cheer on her Brady co-star Maureen McCormack. As I understand it she felt ill Tuesday evening, went to the hospital Wednesday and passed on Thursday. I am sad about her death, but at the very...
As my avatar suggests I am a fan of Zelda Rose and wish that she could pop up somewhere. Someone above mentioned Hilda and I think it was a big loss to lose that character. She would have fit in well for seasons 2-5. I don't see much of a role for her now as Deadly has (quite brilliantly)...
It's a neat idea. Two avenues so that it could be all puppets: use the main characters to portray Hancock, Washington et. al. (Although they have done that before). Or (and I am intrigued by this one a bit more) use the workhorses of the Muppet Acting Troupe - Whatnots and frackles. You...
Buy more Muppet stuff to get more Muppet stuff? I don't understand your logic. ;-)
Why didn't I get Scooter winking? I thought the Muppet emoji's appeared automatically here. I have no info or evidence to think this, but I thought they would. Do I need to download them? Or some other...
The puppets, sadly, have a limited shelf life. After a while the foam hardens and begins to crumble. The Muppet folk refer to this as turning into toast. This happened to the Lips puppet while filming the Kodachrome video, and explains why in the new show their was a new slightly revised...
As others have stated I think a main reason is opposites attract. Kermit is mellow. Piggy is intense. I know we are speaking of puppets, but I believe in the world of The Muppets Miss Piggy is a very attractive pig. She won a beauty contest, was considered to be a model, a Broadway star and...
Of course they didn't know it was the series finale - just the end of season 1. I am sure if they knew he would have had some time.
I know people have commented that The Muppets didn't use enough of (fill in the character's name here). The Muppet show had at least one "cheat" I'll call it and...
Someone had posted earlier that due to the time involved to make designs and prototypes that wave 3 would have been underway before Gloria made her debut. I am glad that they are continuing the pattern of one main character having two supporting ones included.
With hind sight being 20/20 here are some of the more notable problems?/issues? with the show in my opinion. The show went into production very fast. I was aware of this at the time, but I think ABC should have held off and have it come in as a midseason replacement. I think with more time...
