I would imagine this may have been touched on at some point (if so, please direct me over to that thread) but I have been thinking a lot lately about the relationship between these two men, Jim Henson and Mel Brooks. I know that Mel Brooks comedies were very big in the 70s and into the 80s and...

I recently found out that when Fran Brill retired, they gave her a Prairie puppet as a gift. I feel like, even though Zoe became such a hit in the 90s and beyond, Brill had an extra special relationship and love for Prairie. my question is, have you heard any other stories about cast members...

A new album of songs from the new show has been released. You can find it on iTunes. The songs are great and very similar to songs from the original show. I even here a little Fraggle cadence in there. Check it out!

Forgive me if this has been discussed already, but can we talk about Baby Bear? Does he still appear pretty regularly on the show? I feel like he doesn’t pop up quite as often anymore. Correct me if I’m wrong. He’s such a great character.

Hi, Everyone! I just attended this event last night that was part of the Jim Henson Exhibit here in NYC. It was such a cool experience but very laid back. Oz's wife was basically the moderator and would guide the evening asking Frank questions and they would discuss his career with Henson in...
