Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
Does anyone know where to watch the TV pilot "They're Only Human"? I was reading about it in the Richard Hunt biography and was intrigued, but there doesn't seem to be any footage online.

I am selling the original 1988 release of the "Count It Higher" VHS tape. This is a rare one with a green tape. The tape runs perfectly. Here is the listing below if you are interested in buying, the starting bid is just $14.30.

Has anyone on the site ever tried the Swedish Chef's cereal "Cröonchy Stars"? I wonder if any boxes of it still exist. With it being featured in "The Muppets Mayhem", I hope it makes a comeback one day.
Something that I've thought about is the fact that, when Jim Henson died in 1990, it had been a whopping 6 years since the last Muppet film. They generally made one every 2-3 years, and yet there really was no theatrical release in sight at that time. I know Jim was focused on other endeavors...
This might be the Mandela effect, but I could have sworn I read somewhere that Richard Hunt wanted to perform his characters (Scooter, Statler, Janice, and Beaker) for the Muppets Christmas Carol but that he couldn't due to being severely ill. Does anyone know if this is true?
Was Hunt aware...
I am selling the original 1988 VHS copy of Big Bird's Favorite Party Games. The case has some wear, but it is ultimately in good condition. You can bid in the Ebay listing below or use the "Buy it Now" option if you want to quickly get it for yourself.

Can't believe it's been a full decade since this film was released, seems like it was only a few years ago. Probably the one commercially successful muppets project in a sea of disappointments that came after. What are your thoughts on the movie 10 years later and how has your perception of it...
Don't think there's been a thread for this yet. Very sad to hear Norm passed away, even harder to believe he had cancer for 9 years and kept it a secret. RIP to an amazing comedian. I feel like this clip captures him best.
Richard Hunt's Wikipedia page says that he voiced the character "James the Red Engine" from 1991-92 on the Thomas the Tank Engine show. I don't remember ever hearing anything about this so I was wondering if it's true or not. Since anyone can edit these pages, I'm guessing it's fake.
It's been years since I sat down and watched The Muppet Show but I recently dusted off my TMS DVDs and gave the second season a watch. It was just about as good as I remembered it from 7-8 years ago, if not even better. So with the show's recent arrival on Disney+, I'd like to do a proper...
The Don Knotts episode has always been one of my favorites and I've probably seen it at least 10-15 times. For those unfamiliar with it, the plot features Fozzie running the show and impressing the band (particularly Floyd) after he chooses "Lullaby of Birdland" for them to play. I get that they...
Not sure if this is a record for number of regular performers for a muppet character but it feels worth noting that Statler has now had 4 performers.
Richard Hunt (1976-1991)
Jerry Nelson (1992-2003)
Steve Whitmire (2002-2016)
Peter Linz (2017-present)
Peter Linz seems to be doing a fine job...
I know Northern Calloway was dismissed from the show in 1989 but what I'm wondering is if skits featuring him were ever used as insert material after his departure. From what I can tell, it seems like the only time old clips of him have been shown are in specials like the Street we Live On and...
I wrote an article about the 2015 muppet series and how it holds up a year later. Please check it out.

Went to Barnes & Nobels and saw the reprints of season 2 & 3. They come in a normal DVD case instead of the nice box-sets and now have the ABC studios logo on the side. Also, they were really overpriced with both at 20 bucks. If anyone bought them, is there anything different about the physical...
Sorry if there's already a thread for this (probably is), but just curious to hear about your collections. Here's what I have
