    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    I've seen images from some of the Atari Sesame Street games which have copyrights for both Muppets, Inc. and Henson Associates. And also, it seems like the book says that the company changed it's name to Jim Henson Productions after Jim Henson decided to sell to Disney, which was after The...

    Video: The Muppets Super Bowl Toyota Highlander Commercial with Terry Crews

    I just saw another Toyota commercial, walked into the room after it had started.... Not sure if it's been noted, but this one had Crazy Harry, setting off an explosion in the car which blasted Gonzo through the roof.

    Disney has done everything RIGHT in 2014

    There is one other thing I wish Disney would do better: get more Muppet merchandise available in stores other than The Disney Stores. Yes, fans can order online, and there is a Disney Store near where I live (but it's in a town I don't drive to often), and the merchandise I'm most excited about...

    The Toyota Highlander Ad--and What it Means for The Muppets

    My guess is that he just wasn't as impressed as Terry Crews was.

    Muppet movie problems

    The two-week deadline is nothing compared to what Fozzie's thought when they arrived in New York: he said that they'd "all be on Broadway tomorrow". Maybe he meant they'd officially have a deal to be on Broadway, though, as opposed to the show opening the next day.

    Disney has done everything RIGHT in 2014

    I'd say the only thing Disney hasn't done right this year (so far) is release the fourth season of The Muppet Show, in addition to other non-movie Muppet productions on DVD. At least half(half-ish?) of the movies have recently aired on ABC Family, when most of the movies have barely aired in the...

    The Muppets Character Encyclopedia coming Feb. 7 2014

    Looking at the "Gonzo's Great Acts" page, it seems like his motorcycle act is the only actual act represented, with the others pictured not coming from any actual productions. Why not acknowledge/picture his tire-eating. cannonball-catching, piano-balancing, or hypnotism acts? But maybe those...

    Questions about anything

    How far in advance to the next TV season do you suppose is the best time to pitch a show to the networks? How far in advance so you have more time for casting and developing (even if you've already developed the show in your head for years, but I guess any creator could use more development time...

    Video: The Muppets "No Room for Boring" Music Video

    Also, it's great that The Electric Mayhem is featured all equally, as opposed to Animal being the most prominently featured one. Actually I feel I barely notice Animal's pressence in this.

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night I dreamt that I was watching a special version of Muppet Treasure Island. Long John Silver died early on, and the climax featured a battle with a random pirate. And then the cast all left on one life boat, the Muppets basically taking a curtain call and removing their costumes and...

    Dreams about Muppets

    I dreamt that I got a copy of The Muppets Character Encyclopedia. Looking at an page of contents, I saw that at the beginning there were pages on a few non-Muppets: The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Bob McGrath, Linda Bove, a few more people, and Emillio Degardo. I don't...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    It's odd in the Muppet Show chapter when it says that Jerry Nelson once asked why he didn't do more. He performed more characters than any other performer on The Muppet Show, had the biggest number of recurring characters, and performed almost every major one-shot character.

    Video: The Muppets "No Room for Boring" Music Video

    This song sounds very similar to "You Tickle Me" from Sesame Street. I figured it probably had the same writer, as many songwriters tend to use the same tunes for multiple songs (I remember when I first realized "With Every Beat of My Heart" and "I'm Gonna Always Love You" sounded similar, I...

    Part of me was thinking it was Progresso, but then I thought that was the car insurance company with Flo. Which might actually be called Progressive.

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I was just watching The Brady Bunch Movie, and noticed near the end credits, it actually listed who originally played the kids. Why was this needed? Are there any other movies based on TV shows to acknowledge who originally played the main characters? In fact four cast members (though it's not...

    Track Listing for Muppets Most Wanted Revealed!

    People have been complaining about Scooter singing "Moves Like Jagger" since a clip was in the movie, but this soundtrack says that Pepe will be included as well. So presumably Pepe and Scooter will interract, and Pepe will have a big scene. Though it's weird that in the title it says "Moves...

    What's the name of the soup companies which would have commercials following this formula: A husband wants to get some soup, the wife looks at the soup can and remarks, "condenced soup? You're an adult now..." and gets him to eat some other kind of soup. I'd like to see (or make) a parody of...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Could the light-skinned/dark-skinned thing be "truth in television"? I don't know the races of anybody here, but when it comes to black women I know, the light-skinned ones seem to be more pleasant while the darker ones seem like they have attitude problems. Or maybe it's just a coincidence.
