I had no idea that it was negatively panned. I'm pretty sure that the Muppet Central review at least gave it a good review (I haven't looked at that review in awhile). Although I haven't watched it very many times, I've always liked this special. There's so much to like about it. It includes...

Yesterday I watched the HIMYM finale for the first time since it premiered, and this time I feel a little better watching what all happened. The first time it mostly came off as a shock (though I saw a lot of Wild Man Guessing at TV Tropes that the mother would die, and I actually started to...

Seems they've been inconsistent with the title of "ABC Disco". That title was used on the video Dance-Along, this is the first I've heard of the "Grover Travolta Alphabet Song" alternate title, the chapter stops on A Celebration of Me, Grover identifies it as "Alphabet Fever" (but I guess a...

Hopefully this thread won't get too off-topic, but... Muppet Wiki has a quote from Brian Meehl about why he left, which doesn't say anything about lack of recognition or money. It does say that one of his reasons for leaving was because he wasn't seeing his wife and kids enough (in fact...

Really, you don't get paid for it? Reportedly Richard Hunt was happy with how much he made on his first paycheck (not even expecting to make that much), and Martin Robinson has said that working for the Muppets was the first time he ever had his own money. And of course Caroll Spinney took a pay...

Yesterday The Muppet Mindset started Throw Penguins Thursday, where an older article is posted again. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, it does draw attention to older articles that newer readers may not be familiar with. On the other, it could cause a lot of impatience from...

Well I just learned in another thread that all of the Ed Sullivan appearances included at The Paley Center for Media are in color and part of a compilation donated by Henson (and that only two appearances are not available there, I wonder if Henson has those missing segments in its archives). So...

Top ten Muppet specials I'd most like to see the original TV promos for (assuming there were): 10. Big Bird in China 9. The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence 8. The Frog Prince 7. Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas 6. Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting (I have a slight feeling I had seen the...

When you hit the share photos button and your photos appear, just click on whatever photos you want to share (my phone has a 30-photos-at-a-time limit) and you can share them all at once (a check mark appears on the photos you've clicked on to share). In the movie 10 Things I Hate About You...

Well I've found Estimation Vacation on YouTube. Watching it, I'm convinced that it was Eric performing/voicing Bert. Though I don't know the reason why Frank is no longer credited. Maybe it's because he didn't perform this season (though he was credited in seasons 41 and 44 but wasn't...

Yeah I read on Muppet Wiki last night that only two Sullivan appearances are not available there. I wonder if the Henson Archives has those appearances. Lately I have been thinking about how it seems like most (if not all) of the Henson Company's copies of the appearances on The Ed Sullivan...

So I wonder how many Sullivan appearances that didn't make their way to the Muppets Magic DVD are left to surface online. There's "Come Together" and the Jimmy Dean/Rowlf appearance. Have the other versions of "Java" and "I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face" shown up online (those two numbers...

It seems like the majority of the copies of Ed Sullivan Show appearances that The Jim Henson Company Archives has are in black and white (or at least I assume that whenever a Muppet clip from that show is used in a Henson retrospective or screening the copy comes from the Henson Company Archives...

I've had the songs from Team America: World Police in my head recently. Especially "I'm So Ronery", "Only a Woman", and "Pearl Harbor Sucks".

Not sure if anyone here would actually know the answer, but... In Back to the Future, when Loraine convinces her parents that they should let Marty spend the night, she suggestively offers to let him stay in her room, in front of the parents. The parents don't seem to suspect anything raunchy...

After being informed that a TV Tropes page for this show was made, I decided to seek out some clips. And the first two I watched happened to be the first two in the first post of this thread (so Dr. Tooth was right about the M segment being the first many of us have seen). According to TV...

Was just looking at The Obi-Wan, and started wondering if there should be a Yoda equivalent. Mainly for wise characters who start out as silly/annoying to the main characters before becoming more serious. The only other example for that I can think of is Rafiki from The Lion King, who...

This fan fic took me an hour and a half to complete (I watched three episodes of The Muppet Show while writing this). Also, I came up with this idea yesterday. There are some things I was considering doing. One of my ideas was for Frank Oz to arrive late because Grover was supposed to pick...

That was on Good Morning America.

I did start a Camille Bonora appreciation thread a few months ago, nobody seemed to reply to it though. Camille sure was a great performer. I like the little girl voices she did, for such characters as Kai-Lee and Ruby Monster. And I like the more pompous voices, like the one for Meteora...
