It seems it like until the past decade it had been rare for Muppet performers other than Jim and Frank to be interviewed as themselves (and a great deal of those interviews in the past decade were on Muppet Central, The MuppetCast, Tough Pigs, The Muppet Mindset, and other websites). Though most...

Was I quoted in your post by accident? Because Camilla definatley wasn't a cameo.

Really? I never noticed that before.

I dreamt that I was at a premier party for "The Muppets". I got to get my picture taken with Steve Whitmire, Kermit, Rizzo, and Lips. They had photos of Muppets and performers for sale (and for some reason they also had pictures of people I know). And I got to test Jason Segel's knowledge of the...

Here's one regarding The Jimmy Dean Show: http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2011/11/18/11181965/ I was a little surprised. So Rowlf was originally intended to just be a guest star in the second episode (which featured another performance by Jim and Frank, outside of Rowlf). I read that the...

There's an official video preview featuring samples from almost all the songs (Paul Simon and Starship are not included). Listening to these samples, most of them sound different from how I expected (yeah, for the most part I didn't have any lyrics to look at). Pictures in my Head sounds the...

Was Miss Piggy's "Kermit, we need you!" line/scene in the film?

I often think about the credits to various production, which characters are listed among their performers and which ones are not. And sometimes certain choices seem weird. For example, in The Muppet Movie, The Swedish Chef isn't listed in the credit. He only got two lines in the movie, but so...

This gets me thinking, Jim Henson never got a "created by" credit. Maybe he didn't feel the need for such a credit. Though Charles Schultz usually got a "created by" credit in the Peanuts specials (I know, they're different people, I'm comparing apples and oranges....). Though quite a few...

If Frank Oz did accept the role of Big Bird when offered, I wonder how many character's he'd have performed by now (or if he'd currently be a director). Would he have been limited to maybe two or three roles (it was already decided he'd perform Bert before Big Bird was created, but did Jim have...

That's weird, considering her name is widely sourced. I find it weird when a major character in a movie has a proper name that's never mentioned on-screen. I used to wonder what the point of giving characters non-descriptive names was if they weren't going to be mentioned (first I realised it's...

I know that Muppet Christmas Carol was the only one to have narrarators, but I thought putting a narrarator in a Muppet movie would be an interesting twist. Though I wasn't thinking in terms of how Gonzo and Rizzo were used in MCC, more along the lines of Sam's narraration of Muppet Snow White...

The only productions I've seen that list Dave Goelz as Zoot are ones where he gets some dialogue. He didn't talk much in The Muppet Movie or Muppets Take Manhattan, but he did say something, and was credited in those (I do not yet know if he gets any dialogue in this movie).

I thought about that a little, but figured they'd rather heckle the story. Though maybe it would be interesting to see the kind of Muppet movie Statler and Waldorf would want to see made (though the idea sounds better as a comic book story).

There were hardly any pizza jokes or references in The Next Mutations series. I remember in one of the first episodes, Michelangelo asks if they want to get a pizza, and they (in annoyance) tell him to grow up. And I've read that pizza wasn't a big part of the original comics, just major in the...

I wonder if they did anything like this for anyone else in the cast. Or if any other movies have done so.

Just recently I've been thinking, I'd like the next Muppet movie to have a Muppet narrarator. Like most of us, I want the Muppets to play themselves, but having a narrarator might help avoid confusion if anyone does anything that contradicts the events of past productions (like most past...

IAVMMCM = It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie. I guess it's debatable if JP Gross really died (I think it's actually said that "scooter's uncle" left them the theater). In that movie, the theater becomes a historical landmark, and can't be torn down or changed. By that logic, Tex can't...

The Muppets Studio has uploaded the special DVD made of Jason Segel and Kermit the Frog inviting her to take part in "The Muppets". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSQekJ3M2Ss

I think Dr.Tooth has asked about what the point of junior novels are, and something hit me: Reading the junior novel of this movie gives you a good enough idea of the movie (even if there are differences and scenes not in the book), so those of us who have read it can focus more on trying to...
