It would be great if we could see Frank perform his Muppet Show characters again, even for just a one-off showing. However, I understand that he has largely moved on from the Muppets. Things just felt off in the '90s when he would dub in his voice and have someone else puppeteer, so it's good...

Yeah, in the last 40 years, we've had 6 different Muppet shows, and none of them made it past 22 episodes. - Little Muppet Monsters - The Jim Henson Hour - Muppets Tonight - The Muppets - Muppets Now - Muppets Mayhem

I did post a thread about this a few weeks ago but quickly deleted it because it felt like little more than a rumor. I agree with some of the sentiments above. I've also had a hard time with Vogel's Kermit and am displeased with Disney's handling of the franchise. However, I'm still excited...

So after all these years, my local PBS station finally removed The Berenstain Bears from their lineup. The show stopped producing new episodes in 2003, but the station aired reruns up until August 2025.

I just finished reading Funny Boy and have a truckload of thoughts. First off, the author really put a lot of care into creating this, it was beautifully written from start to finish. I've always wondered about Richard Hunt's life, but the details were previously scarce. It clearly took years...

Wow, that's a neat find. Would've been interesting to see if this potential Fox show would have done well. "Muppets Tonight" was already raunchier than "The Muppet Show", but this one would have likely taken it up another notch to TV-14 levels.

Does anyone know where to watch the TV pilot "They're Only Human"? I was reading about it in the Richard Hunt biography and was intrigued, but there doesn't seem to be any footage online. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/They%27re_Only_Human?file=TOH8.jpg

I completely missed this as there have been a lot of celebrity deaths in the news lately. RIP.

But you are also posting in this thread...

The Loretta Swit episode of Muppet Show was definitely one of the most memorable. RIP. It feels like we're losing a lot of guest stars recently.

I like to observe Reddit, but I try not to comment much. They do tend to be snarky and needlessly rude. It does depend on the subreddit though.

Wow, from 60 minutes to 11. Nice to see Sesame has a home though, and that it's not Disney.

I thought Steve did a good job as Ernie as well, and Peter Linz has been pretty decent at it. Honestly wish Linz would also take over for Kermit since he seems to have the cadence down.

Interesting timing as the federal government has now gutted the Ready to Learn grant, leaving PBS Kids in jeopardy. I remember seeing these quite often. They were really neat crossovers, cool to see the Between the Lions and Sesame Street characters interacting. I think there was also one where...

The idea that Disney would facilitate anything like that is far-fetched. It'd be neat to see it happen though, maybe a one-off special with interviews with the surviving guest stars.

RIP to Buzzi. Her Muppet Show episode was one of season 1's best.

What on earth, that must have been like a 10-year hiatus

I recently found out that the episode "Arthur Weighs In" has been barred from rerun circulation, its last airing was in 2020. Apparently it was considered too offensive for the way it treats Arthur's weight. Personally, I thought it was a great episode that promoted healthy eating and exercise...

So I did find that episode 2694 (aired March 1, 1990) from season 21 actually featured 2 different inserts which featured David's voice. How confusing must that have been for viewers who recognized his voice and thought he might be returning to the show, even though he had sadly passed two...

The Sesame Street movie has been in development for a long long time. Last I heard, Chance the Rapper joined the cast, but that was about 5 years ago at this point and right before COVID hit. The most recent news we got was in 2023 when Anne Hathaway said "It hasn't happened yet, but I hope it...
