    Either they don't have computer access, or they're still at the auditions (6 PM eastern time)! :p

    So you want to audition for the Muppets?

    Plus, if you can't make jokes on a Muppet forum, then THAT is truly sad. :p <---- Not sticking his tongue out, just a picture of Ernie

    MC Awards Volume 2: The Ceremony

    What a surprise! I'm so surprised! And grateful. Did I mention I'm surprised? I'd like to thank the Muppet Academy for this award. There are so many people to thank. But I'm gonna hog the spotlight and not mention any of them. Actually, I will mention one. This award, nay, all these...

    While you're at it, could you move the moon a little to the left? It keeps shining in my window. :p

    Is this A Muppet?

    Hey anythingmuppet! I like your avatar. I was actually in the studio when that bit was taped. If you could turn the camera around and have it face the other way, you would see me standing there! :p

    TMM soundtrack

    There actually are two different versions of the soundtrack. I have an old pre-recorded cassette tape of it from when it first came out and it has a different recording of "Never Before, Never Again" on it. I can't recall if there were any other differences. The cover is also different. It...

    Anyone going to California?

    I guess that answers the question of whether Lisa and Brian will be at the auditions... unless they're planning to leave early. :p

    So you want to audition for the Muppets?

    I don't even care for that animatronic Kermit at the end of Muppetvision 3D... and that was JIM operating him. It looks too mechanical, if you'll pardon the pun. And I KNOW you will. Hehe. :p

    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    I've seen Avenue Q twice on Broadway. I think it is hilarious and is actually performed by several puppeteers who also work on Sesame Street. Yes, it is an adult show, but I don't think it denegrates the Muppets at all. It is a parody. Besides, the Muppets themselves are racy in a more...

    Part Three of "Behind the Scenes of TMM" Is Up

    Sorry, I don't. If you have a question that you feel you can't post publicly, you can send me a private message through Muppet Central. :) :p

    See-Thru Animal?

    It does. And it used to happen on old computer monitors. That's what screensavers were invented for, to prevent burn-in. Today's monitors and TV's are not as prone to it, but people still use screensavers. However, I have read that the ultra-modern and ultra-expensive plasma TV's are prone...

    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    First, let me say a big thank you for all the very kind words. It would take me another 12 messages to fully answer all your questions and as this is Muppet Central, I'm not sure how relevant they are. But let me start with this... if people are interested, I will reveal my secret identity...

    So you want to audition for the Muppets?

    That's why I was surprised when I was told that more people didn't show up for the audition. :p

    So you want to audition for the Muppets?

    Surprisingly, only 48 showed up for the Playhouse Disney Live! auditions. I would have thought it would have been at least three times that. And at those, you didn't even have to do any voices. The whole show is pre-recorded. AND they weren't even looking for experienced puppeteers! :p

    Broadcast rights vs. mechanical license?

    It depends on what rights were originally negotiated. If they were for broadcast and rebroadcast, but not for home video (which didn't really exist when the shows were made), then they could be rebroadcast uncut. If, however, the original deal specified so-many runs, then that deal could have...

    So you want to audition for the Muppets?

    Sorry about that. I realize that smilie of Ernie has his tongue hanging out, but since it's the only one of the character, I use it as my sig. I apologize to anyone else who might have taken offense at the tongue wagging Ernie in my sig. :p

    So you want to audition for the Muppets?

    I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree because I definitely disagree with your premise. I do not think the separate Kermits will be "evolving" into anything. Nobody but Steve will be doing the kind of performances where the character will need to evolve. And just like a writer...

    So you want to audition for the Muppets?

    There is no such thing as the REAL Kermit. As I said, the real Kermit died with Jim. You're trying to protect something that doesn't exist. I didn't say the Muppets died with Jim... I said the real Muppets died with Jim. The Muppets are very much alive, being performed by people who care...
