    New Regency Lands ‘Fraggle Rock’ Feature Rights Auction

    Based on some of the things I've read, is the script the full property of Weinstein, or can this new company use the previously-written script?

    Your Muppet mistakes

    With today being Halloween, I am suddenly reminded of a mistake I had regarding the Julie Andrews episode. In the Alice Cooper episode, Kermit remarks that "it wasn't spooky like this when Julie Andrews did the show". And that line made me thing the Julie Andrews episode was horror-themed. Of...

    150 Days of Muppets!

    Something I've just wondered: Have there been any cases where you wanted to link to a clip, but nobody uploaded that clip on YouTube? Of course, there's not much from the Muppets (and I'm only counting ones from The Muppet Show and related productions) that are not available online, but still.

    One of Kevin Clash's all-time best performances...

    I can't really think of any other Kevin Clash character who sounds like his Splinter. Though I did notice hints of Splinter in the voice of Billy Idle, the singer of Rebel L (his voice sounds to me like a mix of Clifford, Splinter, and a hint of Leon).

    Here's your Walter Plush

    That's the BEST Walter likeness I've ever seen! (Ha! Is funny! That's the ONLY Walter toy so far!)

    Jim Henson's Red Book

    Has anybody heard of Muppet commercials for a european soft drink called Mirinda? There's an article about it: http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2011/10/30/10301975/ One thing I was surprised to learn about: These commercials were made in 1975, and Louise Gold actually performed in them. I...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Well, according to Muppet Wiki, Bye Bye Pacifire will include street scenes involving Elmo giving up his pacifire, Abby Cadabby's tricycle, and Baby Bear's first haircut (interestingly, that's a pre-format change episode, from season 30. I wonder how that'll be handled). I also read that the...

    Your Favorite TV Show: The Movie

    What I had in mind was a made-for-TV movie, and only if it gets canceled before a proper finale can be done. I doubt it'll be canceled (the show is still as perfect as it was when it began), but you never know.

    Your Favorite TV Show: The Movie

    If How I Met Your Mother ever gets cancled before we meet the mother, I'd like a two-hour movie in which we see Ted meet the mother, going from their first meet to their marriage (I wonder if the creators plan on ending the show with Ted meeting her or if it'll end with the marriage)...

    Classic Clips on SST Workshop's Site

    Does the website have some kind of bug? It seems like certain sketches that were added last may no longer show up in search, including the two aristotle clips and the Bruno clips added (the only Bruno clip showing up in a search for that character is the "Bruno & The Trashmen" clip that's been...

    Little things we've noticed

    On The Muppet Show, there were only a few shots of the audience tapped, reused whenever a shot of the audience was needed. In some cases, they are shown singing to whatever song is being performed (maybe it's just me but the lip-synch doesn't look too bad regardless of the song). Sometimes, a...

    Disney Store Muppet Merchandise Released

    I wonder if those plush reported at Toy Fair 2010 are still coming, or if these plush are them. They don't look entirely like the puppets, but most of them are good likenesses.

    "The Muppets" Final Parody Trailer On-line

    Wow. This is the best trailer yet. Even though it contains a lot of footage obviously not in the film (like the Pepe scenes). It's interesting; At first, Pepe was hardly in any of the posters, promotional images, or trailers, many were concerned that he wouldn't, and now it seems like he's...

    Disney Store Muppet Merchandise Released

    I was looking at the Muppet Central collectibles guide, and there was a PVC of Mad Monty and Polly Lobster (sculpted together) released in spain in 1996.

    Muppet Books Review

    I've only bought The Junior Movie Novel, but I've looked at the other books in the store a few times, especially the early readers. In Meet the Muppets, when Kermit gets the others back together, most of those circumstances seem to take place in just one page (though Gonzo's and I think Piggy's...

    That's what I thought, too.

    New D23 event showcasing Muppet merchandise

    I hope there'll be some surprises beyond what's been announced. Of course I'm not a member and don't have the money or time to travel to the event anyway. I wonder if anybody here (or at Tough Pigs) will be attending.

    First Elmo original sketch!

    I noticed that Elmo's name is labeled, but it looks like that part may have been written on it years later, after Elmo's name was established. In Caroll Spinney's autobiography, he said that the Elmo puppet was around in an early season and called Baby Monster, then was put in storage for many...

    17 Things Kermit has done that are worse than living in a mansion.

    First of all, I don't see what's so wrong with Kermit living in a mansion (and the junior novel provides a reasonable reason I won't mention here). And second of all.... Most of the things on that list I don't find bad at all (and certainly not worse than living in a mansion). The only things...
