I definitely prefer it when the Muppets play themselves. There would seem to be so many more stories that could be told about the Muppets just being Muppets. To me the original trilogy included the best movies, and they're the only ones I'm willing to watch over and over. It's not necessarily...

So long, Bunsen, Sam, and Janice. I actually like them, but someone's gotta go... Kermit Fozzie Miss Piggy Rowlf Gonzo Dr. Teeth

I'd find some way to afford this. I'd be happy if they'd just release the full run of TMS on DVD. I'd love to see a "proper" release of TMM, with commentary and extras. There have to be some extras out there somewhere, don't they? I really hoped they would have done this for its 25th...

Yeah, I remember a few episodes of All in the family when she spoke very seriously, and I couldn't believe that was her speaking. I wish I could remember her being on TMS.

Wow, I'd forgotten about the Muppet fan club until I saw this post and the other one (Back Stage Left). I'm pretty sure I was a member. I wish I still had the stuff they sent out. I'd love to see it happen again. It's probably one of the very few fan clubs I would be interested in joining.

Are you sure it was a cover, and not an original song? It looks like Judas Priest had a song with the same title, but the lyrics are different.

For that matter, I could also picture a Muppet Godspell, again with Kermit as Jesus. It's amazing how easily he just seems to fit into that role.

Strangely enough, as soon as I saw the question, I immediately thought of Oklahoma. I just had an image of Kermit in a cowboy hat, and it worked for me. An intriguing one could be Grease. Not a hundred percent sure it would work, but I could see Miss Piggy as Sandy. I'm a little less...

I was pretty surprised when I saw the beginning of this thread, and so many people were listing MCC and MTI as favorites. To me the problem with those movies is that it just seems like the human actors are the leads, and the Muppets, who were once the centerpieces of their movies, were more of...

This is the order I'd give them right now, although with the exception of #1, the rest of the order may flip-flop based on the mood I'm in. 1. Rainbow connection (TMM) 2. Can you picture that? (TMM) 3. Movin' right along (TMM) 4. I'm going to go back there someday (TMM) 5. Saying...

Kermit, Fozzie and Rowlf were my favorites, although those great old hecklers Waldorf and Statler are definitely up there too. I don't think I appreciated them as much as I should have watching TMS as a little kid...

Twenty-six years later, and my favorite is still easily TMM. In fact, not only is it my favorite Muppet movie, but it's one of my favorite movies period. Beyond that it was the "origin" story of the Muppets (kind of, sort of), and even more than the great and incredibly catchy songs and...

The rainbow colored Studebaker from TMM is in the Studebaker Museum in South Bend, Indiana. At least it was in January. They had it there for a special exhibit on Studebakers in movies and TV, but unfortunately only had it on display until Christmas, because it wasn't in very good shape. I...

Yes, at one point they were also in Saskatchewan, and it would seem unlikely they'd have needed to cross into Canada. I had always assumed that Kermit's swamp was somewhere in Florida. I never saw Kermit's Swamp Years, but I would hope it's safe to assume that it's the same swamp.

I wonder if this is an easy question, or one that is impossible to answer. Does anyone have any idea where the various scenes in The Muppet Movie were supposed to have taken place? For example, where was Kermit's swamp located? Where was El Sleazo Cafe? Where was the restaurant that Kermit...

My favorite movie, without a doubt, would have to be The Muppet Movie. I saw it several times the summer it came out, and it remains one of the very few movies (Muppet or otherwise) that I can watch over and over. To me it just had a certain magic that I don't think was ever replicated in any...

It's too bad that there are so many problems with producing this toy. I'm willing to bet it would be plenty of people who would buy it. I sure would. I actually managed to visit the original vehicle at the Studebaker Museum last month. I was sad to see that it wasn't in very good shape...

I don't think I ever heard "For what it's worth" by Buffalo Springfield before I heard it on The Muppet Show. In fact, I never even knew its title until I looked it up to respond to this thread. I only knew it as "Stop, children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down."

I saw that Palisades Toys was making a number of figures and playsets based on The Muppet Show and the various Muppet movies, and I got my hopes up that finally they might put out a scale replica of Fozzie's Studebaker. It wasn't listed anywhere, so I emailed them and asked if there was any...
