In honor of Frank Oz's birthday, enjoy this fan fic celebrating Oz's birthday. "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for The Muppets Celebrate Frank Oz, in which the Muppets honor the one and only Frank Oz, respected film director and puppeteer. And now, here's Kermit the Frog!" "Hi ho and...

Last night, I found a promo for a broadcast of The Frog Prince as part of Nickelodeon's Sunday Night Muppets. In the promo, it said that Muppet specials would be broadcast every Sunday that month. Now I remember if being two months, the months of November and December 1992 (and I recall The Frog...

I was looking at Reality is Unrealistic lately. All these years I thought it was for when something is real but the general public don't think it was (one example I can think of, which I didn't see there when I last checked but recall seeing on the page for The Wizard of Oz, is that the Cowardly...

"Getting hit by a bus" should come before characters like Mr. Poodlepants and David Hogsohog, maybe also Andy and Randy, maybe Angelo, but not before Scooter. Wow, that list includes Carlo Flamingo but not Monolo Flamingo? This ain't right! :)

Has anybody seen any promos for The Muppets Go Hollywood, The Muppets Go to the Movies, The Fantastic Miss Piggy Show, Rocky Mountain Holiday, The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting, or The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson? I'd be interested in seeing promos for...

During the last season of The Muppet Show, there were three Muppet performers to only perform semi-regularly, these being Karen Prell, Brian Meehl, and Betsy Baytos. Now during the first season it was common for performers to appear in only a couple of episodes, mainly female performers when a...

Watching the various news reports concerning Jim's death, I am surprised by the quality of some of the (I assume) Sam and Friends clips. The "That Old Black Magic" clip appears yellow instead of black and white, when all other times I've seen that clip it was clearly black and white, and there's...

I thought Muppets TV was a talk show instead of a variety show. One possibility I thought of: Maybe Denise is her real name and Spamela is her stage name or nickname (Hamderson could still be her real last name, or part of a stage name). I don't think Kermit and Spamela interacted much on...

So far that's the only bathroom humor we know of that will appear in the show(does the pilot contain more?). Who knows, maybe such jokes will just occur once per episode, or maybe that will end up being the only such joke on the show (not likely), or maybe the show will be filled with such...

Thinking about the Chip appearance again (it has barely left my mind since the trailer was online), I feel like now would be a good time for Chip to get a Weekly Muppet Wednesday article on The Muppet Mindset. That doesn't mean that he'll be next, but Uncle Deadley's WMW was the first to come...

I wonder how permanent that change is. Somehow I'm guessing it's a case of "new character same puppet", but I also get the feeling she won't last long (probably just the first few episodes). If she makes appearances later down the road, will she be called Denise, Spamela, something else, or just...

Really? This is the first I've heard that it was Eric who performed Grover there. I thought it was confirmed that Frank performed in that sketch, or maybe I'm just confused due to the fact that Frank performed a few sketches that season and that Frank usually performed Grover in sketches with...

It's not on the soundtrack album, but I think I've heard that it's on the score (I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the whole thing, though).

And there's also the fact that this is the first season where Frank is no longer credited (though I assume they still show some segments that Frank performed in). By the way, is Jerry still credited on the show (Jim and Richard both continued to be credited for a long time after they died, and...

Do you recall whether he actually referred to himself by name? I wonder if it's better that it's an actual obscure character, or if it would have been funnier if it was a previously-unseen character, so that none of us would know who he was (if they didn't want to spend money building a new...

Bill Prady has said that The Muppet Show was a parody of variety shows. I never thought of it as a parody - just thought of it as an actual variety show (with puppets and more convenience regarding filming). He said that if this was a variety show, it would be reviving the format as opposed to...

I mentioned that possibility. Though it's still a little odd. Those two movies were listed in a list of the Muppet movies in the "Scratching the Surface" feature on The Muppets Blu-ray. Even if rights issues prevent them from even being allowed to freely mention the titles of the movies it...

At first the Palisades line only included characters and things from TMS (and at first they were even limited in what TMS characters were included, though I find it interesting that Mahna Mahna and the Snowths initially weren't included but the Robot Rabbit was) before expanding. I wonder if...

In thinking about how Jim Henson's Creature Shop still has all pre-2004 Muppets in storage (since Disney doesn't archive acquired properties), combined with the fact that existing pre-2004 puppets obviously still get used in new Muppet productions from time to time, I must wonder where they get...

I'd like to see the script page for the scene with Chip. I'd be interested in seeing if the script actually identified him by name or if it referred to him as something like "Obscure Muppet Character". Of course I wouldn't be surprised if part of that was cut for the trailer - until we actually...
