    MuppetVille!?

    Neat! I wonder if this is a desing for the thing they were going to build at MGM when Disney and Henson first merged. There was talk of doing some kind of Muppet Land and it all sorts of neat ideas. Somewhere on the net was a pretty detailed descriptoin of the ideas. I think it was over at...

    Series 2 Sideshow Muppet Busts at 360 degrees!

    I love the Rowlf sculpt most. I just think they really captured his personality. I think of it as being a real tribute to Jim and one of his first characters. I don't know why, but that's how I feel about it. It really is beautiful. I love the texture onit and the way the arms fall...

    Help stop Dolphin Shows in NJ!

    I don't know how true ot would stay to Sea World. teh difference between Sea World and GA is that Sea World is a bit more of a preservation who turns it's profits back on helping and preservign the wildlife. I don't think that's as true for GA. I've signed.

    Lyle Conway and a movie about some spider-guy.....

    No I think that's that Super-person-guy. You know the one who looks like Clark Kent except he doesn't wear glasses. --Matt PS--You realize that Grail is probably reading this and praying for our souls.

    Puppet Pantomime?

    Sorry Beau, Puppetry is all about being able to create movement. It's about being able to emote through the figure not just by words but by actions. I'm afarid that puppetry pantomime has been around for..well as long as puppetry has been around. In fact once upon a time, Frank Oz even...

    Sing the Praise of SMOOCHY!

    Yeah I think this has been one of the most interesting peeks we've had into the life of our dear penguin-lovin' bud. I think I'm going to go hide in my sock drawer now. --Matt

    New episodes of Between the Lions

    DrT, Heath was originally voiced by Tyler Bunch for the first season and then Peter Linz in season 2. I think. I have to check on that. The rest of the cast is as follows.... Peter Linz: Theo (saseons 1&2), Heath (?Season 2) Jennifer Barnhart: Cleo Kathy Mullen: Leona...

    Thanks Buck. I didn't know that. or I knew parts of it I guess. I knew Micheal had moved onto other things. I thought of the connection. Byron, Just so you know "This Pam Chick' is the same "Pam chick" behind Grungetta Grunge on Sesame Street and also puppeteered Lyndsey Dog on...

    Muppet Lore

    Yeah in the Muppet Movie just before he sings with Kermit he talks about his nightly routine, "I leave work, go home, read couple of books, drink a couple of beers, take myself for a walk and go to bed." Hope this answers your question...

    New episodes of Between the Lions

    I don't know about Kathy Mullen, but as far as Theo is concerned I believe it had to do with Bear and Lions filming at the same time. At one point, no one was sure about wether a 3rd season of Lions was going to happen until the last second and by the time they got around to finalizing things...

    New episodes of Between the Lions

    No Clay is performed by Heather Asch who also performs Marmy Smartypants. That's funny that you think Leona sounds more like Mokey now considering that Mokey was also a Kathy Mullen character and Kathy is the former Leona. I think Tim's Theo is amazing. Tim usually has very distinct...

    New episodes of Between the Lions

    Farscape: Cancelled

    I don't know if you saw my post here on MC or on toughpigs, but apparently Sci-fi has also re-entered discussions to renew the show possibly as a mini-series. So there is still hope. Keep those phone calls coming. --Matt

    Which Film do you want to see get made?

    The other problem I think Tim Hill had was that it was his first motion picture where he was used to directing Saturday morning schlock for Nickelodeon. If you look at MFS, it moves way too quickly. He jumps form place to place as opposed to waking time to establish your villain, give us a...

    Which Film do you want to see get made?

    Chilly Oh! I liek the idea of using some of the JHH characters. That's interesting. I know Zondra and Chip both appeared in MFS and I heard Chip had an actual scene that got cut. But yeah, that could be interesting. Sal I had heard that about Lynch's work but am unfamilar...
