    Your Thoughts: Jim Henson's Musical World at Carnegie Hall

    I wonder if Disney or Sesame Workshop put a limit on the amount of characters that could be included. Though almost all the important Muppet Show characters were there, it does seem a little odd that only four Sesame Street Muppets would have.

    Pryor's Place

    Whether the Krofts were inspired by drugs or not, I'll believe either answer. Though I wonder if you really need to do drugs to do something that looks like it was on drugs (can't one be inspired by something that was inspired by drugs?). But for years people have joked (if not believed) about...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    Keep in mind you could probably say that about many movie franchises. Jaws, Child's Play... Though I haven't actually seen those movies (my judgement is pretty much based on The Nostalgia Critic's reviews of the sequels). I assume you can say that about most horror film franchises. I've heard...

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night I dreamt I was editing a Muppet Wiki page, but suddenly had to leave the room for a few seconds, staying logged in, and when I came back somebody I knew was suddenly in my room making innappropriate edits to what I was editing.

    Sesamestreet.org relaunches for Season 39

    It's "Flutter By Butterfly Day" with Abby.

    What was the last Henson thing you watched?

    In the spirit of earth day I've watched a number of environmental-themed things. On sesamestreet.org, I watched such clips as "Bruno and the Trashmen", "On My Pond", "Just Throw It My Way", "Fur Jam: Don't Waste the Water", and "Don't Throw That Trash". On YouTube, I watched most of the National...

    Dog City, anyone?

    I like Dog City. I watched it when it was originally on the air. There aren't many episodes I really remember, though. I like to talk about this show to people who I suspect never saw it, but also feel it's complicated to talk about it to people who never heard of it. Actually, it's probably...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I don't know whether this is the right thread for this, as I don't think Warner Home Video distributes the DVDs in Austrailia, but I was looking at Muppet Wiki yesterday and saw that the Austrailian releases of quite a few of last years releases include bonus clips not on the American releases...

    Pryor's Place

    That quote almost looks like a pun... The idea of Richard Pryor doing a kids show similar to Sesame Street sounds like it should be an adult parody of children's television, like a variety show sketch if not its own series (there really needs to be more of those types of shows... And maybe...

    The Muppets 2011 Trivia Quiz

    I'll be pleaseantly surprised if we get a new quiz here at Muppet Central. For the last, let's say five years (but I feel it's been longer), the only new stuff posted at Muppet Central (outside of the forums) have been the occasional news article and review.

    Muppet Freak is back...kinda

    I don't think Louis Kazagger was very common on The Muppet Show. He was rarely used outside of Muppet Sports (kinda like how The Newsman was rarely seen outside of Muppet News), a recurring segment that only appeared in 8 episodes. And it seems like it was a treat to see certain major characters...

    New Muppets book Lights, Camera, Action

    According to Muppet Wiki this isn't available in the US. I had been looking for it at Books-a-Million but after a month of not seeing a copy (usually around where I live books tend to come out a few weeks after the announced dates, but an entire month is a bit long) I asked if anyone had...

    Lips and Gaffer

    Actually Big Mama was never mentioned by name on-screen. She was only referred to as Big Mama in a number of merchandise (including one of The Muppet Show annuals and a card game), while somebody who worked on the show once revealed on Muppet Wiki that the Henson people really officially called...

    Your Thoughts: Jim Henson's Musical World at Carnegie Hall

    It seems this could have been an honorary second "Muppet Show Live", but with exclusive focus on the music, less characters, and more representation of Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    According to Muppet Wiki the next new DVD will be "Elmo's Magic Numbers", featuring TWO full-hour episodes. The two episodes are the one with the magician who uses subtraction for magic, and the hat contest episode (both have a magic theme). The DVD will also include Elmo's World: Hats as a...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I wonder if it'd be too much for them to do a story in which a Muppet character becomes ill and the only way to cure the illness is with a rare item found only in one location. Perhaps it could be something like a rainforrest which the villian wants to tear down. Yeah, I know, the movie might...

    One of those "Maybe I dreamt this" questions

    I don't know, but I think I've read about the show having a story with a title like "The story of Inez and... (another I name, can't remember)". Or maybe Inez got second billing. Or maybe you're misremembering the use of the word "idiot", though I don't doubt it was used in the past (perhaps...

    Sesamestreet.org relaunches for Season 39

    That's good to know. Sometimes I wonder if I'm going too far by posting each new week and their hosts without much more to add. And I just now remember that I forgot to mention this week's "day"... It's "Going Green Day" with Elmo.

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    If the Muppets do do a "Mad Mad World"-style movie, I'll be surprised if it's the next film. It's confirmed that it'll have some sort of "connective tissue" to the last film, so I assume that means they'll all know each other already, and I feel like such a film would require many of the Muppets...
