    Bicycle Model from 'Art of the Muppets' exhibit 1985

    Hi folks, I was recently reminded of this wonderful model from the 1985 'Art of the Muppets' exhibit. Does anyone have better images of the model? The best ones I could find were these screen-grabs from a KermiClownVideo made using someone's home movie and the audio tour. Kermit is talking...

    Totally unexpected... Baby Animal resurfaces!

    Never thought this puppet would see the light of day again. Baby Animal makes a very brief reappearance in the 'Be More Tea' commercial, starring Kermit, Piggy, and a metropolitan city's worth of grown Animals. Alex

    Funny 1978 UK reference to Muppets

    Ever seen a show called Robin's Nest? It was a spinoff of Man About the House, which was the British forerunner of Three's Company. Anyway, I've been watching the episodes on YouTube, and just hit Series 2, Episode 5. In it, Robin Tripp (their version of Jack Tripper) and girfriend Vicky are...

    Muppets from Space: Thoughts on the Music

    I was listening to the soundtrack for MFS this morning in the car, and I was remembering the complaints that I've read on here about the lack of the characters singing their emotions in song. First of all, I have to say, I honestly never noticed the lack of 'show tunes' in the film. I liked the...

    WANTED: "Gone with the Weird" diecast Muppets

    Hey folks, I'm the Muppet fan, my Mom is the Gone with the Wind fan, so I guess it was inevitable that at some point I would try to buy this set. I saw the boxed set of six on eBay for a decent price, was the only person who bid on it, and thought, "Great, I've got Mother's Day out of the...
