There was, of course, the infamous skit with Bert & Ernie and the blocks. Then, I recall another one where Count was Grover's waiter serving him hot dogs. I'm sure they slowly phased out his hypnotizing powers shortly after parents sent angry letters. Nowadays, the Count can hardly even be...

It was a really nice Henson tribute. I definitely miss seeing Kermit interacting with the Sesame characters.

Happy birthday to the two greatest Kermit performers.

So Muppets From Space is now considered a Halloween movie? I guess that makes sense, but I've never seen it packaged/advertised as one until now.

Not sure if this counts as a skit, but I've always loved this UK spot from the Zero Mostel episode. Sam the Eagle is just such a hilarious character.

Here's a super underrated scene from season 1 of The Muppet Show.

I got a chance to watch this when it aired on ABC, and I thought it was a very well-done documentary. Echoing what others have said, I do wish we could have gotten some interviews from Richard Hunt or Jerry Nelson talking about Jim, but I realize (especially with Hunt) that that footage is...

Wow, awesome work!

I've probably done this before, but here is my ranking. 1. The Great Muppet Caper 2. The Muppet Movie 3. The Muppets Take Manhattan 4. Muppets From Space 5. The Muppets (2011) 6. Muppets Most Wanted 7. Muppet Treasure Island 8. The Muppet Christmas Carol I don't dislike any of them, but I...

The Jim Henson Hour was an interesting series, but it was too ambitious to succeed. I think one of the big issues that viewers had is that they went in expecting The Muppet Show and got something entirely different. There was also a lack of Frank Oz and Richard Hunt characters, but I can't be...

Neil Gaiman is currently facing some serious allegations, so I wonder if Arthur will ban "Falafelosophy" (the episode he guest-starred in). They removed the Lance Armstrong episodes from circulation, so I wouldn't be surprised if this one disappears from reruns.

The Muppets 2011 is not a film I would classify as "horrible". It received critical acclaim and performed reasonably well at the box office, grossing $165M worldwide on a $45M budget. However, I can see why some would consider it to be too sappy and wildly overrated. It definitely comes nowhere...

Elmo in Grouchland was a colossal bomb at the box office, it's almost notorious for being so. It grossed just $11 million against a $26 million budget. It's possible it made some money back through VHS and merchandise sales, but it was a textbook case of a box office flop. If Elmo in Grouchland...

It was up against films like Back to the Future, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, and Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Though "Follow That Bird" was not some sort of toddler film and had some legitimately dark moments, I'm sure many just assumed it was something meant for a very young crowd and avoided it...

I think Yahooey is referring to this clip that went viral a few years back. He obviously didn't say it, but it can seem that way.

I mean, they're both blue, but that's about it.

RIP to Jim Henson, one of the greatest 20th century entertainers and visionaries. I always wonder how he would have used modern technology if he were around to continue working with film and TV.

Was it ever confirmed that they made an episode with him? The articles I find say they just wanted him to be on it.

Nice to meet you, Count. Great profile photo!

Honestly, I had no clue there was an online fandom devoted to Thomas and Friends. And I really can't imagine why it would get so nightmarish, but I'll take your word on it.
