I dunno Luke, I don;t think Hill's even read the articles this time. Cause then he would have somehow read into it and rawn wild conclusions based on absolutly nothing... I'm sorry was that out loud? As you can see I have no use for Mr. Hill's writings. I find most of it trite and...

Because it's STILL better than most of the other garbage on television!!!:p --Matt

hear hear! Fully agreed! could some one please, either lock thse threads or chaneg the titles to include the words "April Fools" to them. Speccifically the threads involving 'Disney Buys Muppets" and "Muppetfest to be held in NYC" should be dealt with so as not to cause any damage. These are...

I was noticing thistoo the other day. it's actually true for MOSt fthe MTi soundtrakc. it's just like one big Jerry Nelson album!!! let's se JUSt hw many voices jerry can do and make them unique!!! I actually thought to myself THIS wold be the basis for a great drinking game..... every...

the first 1/3 of it is really great!!! Funny. well-defined characters. beautiful production. Smooth, keeps moving. Very entertaining. I loved it!!! The second 1/3 of it (following the pet) shop is a little forced but still pretty good. As has been said in other discussions on this topic...

Yes, I've worked with it. And I've been rather happy workin that way too. What I do is I usually sculpt a puppet-form out of oil-based clay take a sheet of aluminum foil which I work around the form so it covers it all up. I then use a plastiv sppon or some such device to make sure the...

Oh good, I've ben trying to remember the charcter for days now!! So I had it right, ok, now I can sleep. It's one of those characters like Rodeo Rosie who just seems to have faded into obscurity altogether. Byron, yes, the character (and set-up) was a LOT like Vincent Twice, Vincent...

More importantly does anyone remember the name of the characters who hosted it? I'm pretty sure it wasa jerry Nelson character and I think his name was Mr. Chatterly or someting like that. the idea was that thei character would sit in frotn of a fireplace and chat about certain letters and all...

Zack, :boo: is there. he's just below :sleep: and just above and to the left of :halo: look closer. I think I can also see Lew Zealand on the front of the game. look at the tail of Gonzo's cape. Yep, there he is. Let's see. there's Chef, pepe, Bunsen &beaker, Robin, the main for...

Cheers, bud! --Matt

Tyeah Lips costume is NOTHIGN like Zoot's. Zoot wears a long-sleeved, yellow short with an open neck. Lips wears a black long sleeve turle neck (as Warrick said) and the short-sleeved whote poncho which is decoreated at the shoulders and down the front. He may wear jeans, but if I'm not...

hehe....we'll talk later, Bear. Just remember there are thos eofus who come in here when you're oflineand wedo have access to rubber chickens. [/B] Thanks, Zack! I owe you one.

Gang, I have some bad news. you see last week, the key stress factor that kicked off this whole thred came to a happy, blissful and much releaving conclusion. I won't go into deatils but let's just say it involved the internet, the phone company a dial number that IS local but is really a...

I believe Fozzie's ears used to be driven by a small motor inside the puppets head. it was dibandoned beacuse it was awkward and heavy over Frnk's hand. They haven't used Fozzie's ears in years. As for things like eyeblinks, and and that kind of things. tehre's generally a small rig inside...

Well?? Do you? I have only very vague recollections of the character, but I'm surprised she's not mentioned in the SS book at all and nobody here ever really brings her up in conversation either. So I'm wondering if anyone remembers her...

Again, there can be an argument made both ways. I know soem very talented puppeteers who HAVE taken course in puppetry and HAVE gone on and done greatthngs and HAVE said they couldn't get to that plateau withou the help of the classes they've taken. I also know puppeteers who ARE self-taught...

Re: This is fun I wanted otaddress ths for a second cause I disagree with parts of it. I think it's pretty 50/50 split in terms of what puppeteers are doing these days. and that's true for both television and live theater. I work for a marionette company where we do shows form a tape and...

Yeah, Marty's been the voice of Snuffy for like 20 years now. No megaphone. Just him doing the character. He does a great job with it too. I love Snuffy. --Matt

yes Brian Muehl (correct spelling) originated the charcters of both Elmo and Telly. he was also the original performer for Grungetta too. Telly and Grungetta immediatly passed to Marty Robinson and Pam Arciero (respectively) after Brian left SS, Elmo as I'm sure you know passed on to richard...

Another good site to try is half.com It's the sister site of Ebay. I've fond not only a good copy of of Mupets and men there but also making of the dark crystal. it's kind of a like a cross breed between Amazon and e-bay (basically ebay w/o the bidding). someitmes yo can get lucky and find...
