Thanks. I'll keep that in mind...

Scooter: I don't know anything about how to operate puppets yet, and have no time to learn at the moment, with school in the way. That's why I'm waiting. I hope to do it after I graduate from college (and actually learn something about operating puppets). But by that time, maybe I'll find...

Grover was originally a nameless, dark green-gray monster Muppet. That's who you're thinking of...

We know that SS Unpaved has errors in it. For example, Northern Calloway died in 1990, not 1989 (as the Unpaved book states). I do not believe Richard Hunt was ever Snuffy...that 1977-80 period is when Michael Earl Davis performed Snuffy.

He says he performed the front half and the voice, and he may very well have had a voice for Snuffy that was similar to Jerry's, but I have a theory is that the producers didn't think that he sounded enough like Snuffy, and had Jerry Nelson dub him over with his voice...however, since Davis has...

I also want to work for Henson, but I am not going to audition until I have received an education in puppetry, and until I am old enough for them to accept me without me having to drop out of school or something like that...

Richard Hunt never performed Mr. Snuffleupagus. Jerry Nelson performed Snuffy's front half and voice from 1971-77 (leaving because of the fact that he felt uncomfortable having to operate Snuffy, combined with the fact that he was too busy taping The Muppet Show in London to come to New York and...

I have said it before, and I'll say it again...if the Marvel/Henson cartoons had had high-quality animation that actually had character designs that looked exactly the puppets, if they had gotten Jerry Juhl and co. to write/storyboard the series, and if they had gotten the Henson puppeteers to...

It's from the Bernadette Peters episode of TMS. Actually, no... ...I dunno. It can't be from the special, since Kermit introduces Robin and Bernadette, although his voice wasn't heard in the special until AFTER the song, and it was Steve's, not Jim's. (Actually...I haven't heard the MC Radio...

Oh my god...Candy looks just like it came out of the Henson workshop!!! (I mean, seriously, it looks like a genuine Muppet...)

Fulton McKay died after the second or third season was made (at least that's what Warrick told me)

Well, Rhino promised more than they ended up being able to deliver...they were obviously intending to secure the rights to many more episodes than they ended up getting the rights to; they promised to release 40-50 episodes (at least) back when the original announcement of the initial VHS...

ssetta, the baker was NEVER removed from the counting segments. When they thought it wasn't the right kind of humor anymore, they just retired the entire segments...

Frogboy...I know it was intended for widescreen (1.85:1). But it was shot at 1.33:1, because shooting "hard-matted", with black bars on the negative, is expensive. Thus, what they do is shoot at 1.33:1 (the width of a TV screen), and then have it matted down to 1.85:1. Also, I guess I was...

Well, TMM didn't use Super-35....it was shot at 1.33:1, the normal TV ratio, and then matted down to 1.85:1 (the proper ratio). Rent the original CBS/FOX tape...it has no cropping or matting whatsoever...just the entire film frame...and even MORE revealing stuff is visible...

Drtooth: Actually, they cancelled TV Funhouse and took it off. GWGumby: AFAIK, the earliest episodes they run are the 1989-90 episodes...when did you last see a mid-80s SNL on CC?

And on the original version of the episode (viewable at the Museum of Television and Radio), we don't even get to see the act! (It was taped later, when they decided to extend and re-edit the episode.) We only get to see Gonzo go out, and then come back with the audience booing behind him...

Yes, but how did the movie look? Do you think it looked better than the (not-so-good-looking) DVD?

Whaddya mean Gonzo and Camilla aren't a serious couple? Well, either way, they're my favorite couple, followed by a tie between Floyd and Janice and Kermit and Miss Piggy. I haven't decided anything about Fraggle couples yet, and won't until I actually find a way to see the episodes...

I have thought Fraggles would work well on the show...and they could go in and out of the theater/in and out of Fraggle Rock whenever they wanted to, through a Fraggle hole in the backstage area...
