    "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story" documentary in development

    You sure are lucky! It's been said that the company producing this documentary will have to get clearance from many companies, saying that home movie footage and footage of Caroll with Picklepuss will be easier to clear... I wonder if footage owned by Sesame Workshop will actually be...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets on Blu-ray and DVD

    I wonder if anybody has purchased or tried to purchase every version of the Muppets DVD and Blu-ray.

    Your Thoughts: "Being Elmo" Kevin Clash documentary on DVD and PBS

    I haven't bought the DVD yet, but I'm wondering, does this documentary include any of Kevin Clash's other Henson work besides Sesame Street?

    Future Dr. Seuss Films

    There's one Dr. Seuss book I only read once but thought was interesting, it was called The Kings Stilts. I think that could make a good live-action movie, if it had a dark look and feel as opposed to being too cartoony. Maybe I just liked the black and white artwork too much (in fact quite a...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    And of course, Walter watches The Muppet Show, which Uncle Deadley was a part of. And he was in the final part of the opening, which Walter was seen watching on TV (he also watches a clip from the Julie Andrews episode, an episode Uncle Deadley made a brief appearance in). I noticed that in...

    April Fools: Muppets....I dunno.... something about a duck?

    Part of me wonders why the "April Fools" title was even needed here. It doesn't come off as an april fools joke to me. The title seems to be confused, while the post just tells us he knows it's April Fools Day.

    April Fools: The Muppets in Narnia Special is Coming!

    I guess I missed a post where this was announced. But I don't mind much, since I anticipate these kinds of posts on April Fools Day. I saw this thread before "April Fools" was added, and suspected it. And it is a bit fun to speculate on how the april fools jokes will be handled (even if only for...

    April Fools: Sesame Street to target older audiences directly

    A few ideas I think are funny (but some of which maybe would have pushed the joke too far) that I thought up AFTER posting this thread: An episode where Gordon beats Susan at a game of checkers, and uncharacteristically boasts about it to his buddies. Then Susan falls and hits her face on the...

    April Fools: Sesame Street to target older audiences directly

    I was reading on the Sesame Workshop blog that Sesame Workshop plans to stop targeting the show at pre-preschool children and focus more directly at the older audiences -- teens, adults, and fans like us! Since season 43 was produced at the same time as season 42, it'll still air as planned...

    Why does everyone overreact to bad swings in entertainment?

    I remember America's Funniest People (I first saw that the night I first saw America's Funniest Home Videos), and I liked that one a lot better. I like Dave Coulier better than Bob Saget, I liked the Jackalope... I can't remember many speciffic moments from that show, but the same can be said...

    The "Have You Ever Wondered..." Thread

    Whenever something animated wins an award and the animated characters are shown making their acceptance speeches, do the companies producing them know the winner in advance, or do all studios actually animate acceptance speeches or what? The only examples I know of are at least two of the times...

    I miss Rizzo!

    Part of this is a bit ironic, because in a recent Muppet Mindset interview, one of the background performers (whose name I forget) said that Matt Vogel let him perform Sweetums in a few scenes, including when Sweetums chased the car (one of the characters few lines in the movie). And I've read...

    My own personal open rant

    I figured that. I feel most of my family might be biased on my creativity, though there's some relatives who I don't think are biased like that. But it makes me wonder how hard it is to work with family and/or friends in a creative business, especially if you are in the hiring/firing...

    Are there any Gonzo Bobblehead Dolls?

    I'm pretty sure there's not one yet. Funko is coming out with a collection of Muppet bobbleheads this july, but Gonzo won't be included in the first assortment (maybe there'll be a second series).

    Why does everyone overreact to bad swings in entertainment?

    I read on Mark Evanier's blog that Scooby Doo was originally intended on being based on Dobie Gillis, but by the time it premiered it no longer resembled that series.

    My own personal open rant

    This is the first I've heard of KGZ, and it's also the first I've heard of people not liking self-promotion. Had no idea some thought it was a big deal. You seem to be one of the more-respected members here, so it's hard to believe you'd turn off a big number of people just by advertising on...
