Looking for Muppet fans for new TV show

[JenniferPeacePo]

My name is Jennifer and I’m working on a brand new television series about fans of TV shows. I’m researching an episode on the Muppets. My coworker Chris posted on this message board awhile back but got no response I’m posting again in the hopes of getting in touch with some big fans: have you entered the world of puppetry inspired by the Muppets, do you have a large collection of merchandise, do you have a touching story related to the Muppets? Then we’d love to hear from you. Here’s a little about our show:

It’s a 26 part documentary series which explores popular TV shows through the eyes of the fans. Each episode will focus on a different program - everything from Bewitched to The Simpsons, and of course the Muppets - and will feature 2-3 fans of the program from Canada and the US. The series will unearth: why the fans love the show, how watching the show and collecting memorabilia makes them feel, what their friends and family think of their love for the show, and the culture of their particular fandom (individual shows express their fandom differently – look at Sex & the City fans compared to Star Trek fans).

The show will air in Canada on TVtropolis, a new Canadian Network devoted to airing re-runs of classic TV shows.

If you’re interested in participating or may be able to offer assistance please drop me a line at jennifer@peacepoint.tv

I look forward to your reply,
Jennifer

Well, I'm sorry to see neither you nor your coworker have gotten any responses. What was his user name? This project sounds very interesting, but I'm not sure how I could be of help, neither being a puppeteer, nor having a large collection. Is there a website where we can find out more about this?

I would love to participate, but I am in Australia.

I'll be dropping you a line soon, Ms. Jennifer. I could possibly be of some assistance. If you could use somebody from the US.

We have a website but on this site "You are only allowed to post URLs to other sites after you have made 10 posts or more"

I've got some posting to do...

What's the website? I'll post it for you.

Oops! Seems I posted this in another thread, I'll just say it again here:

I'm totally down for this! I have a big Muppet collection and I spend LOTS of time creating my Muppet visuals just for people to enjoy and keep the soirit of the Muppets alive. I will definately e-mail you!

Wow, even though I'm not involved in this project, I think I can say on Jennifer's behalf as well as my own that I'm glad this idea has taken off so successfully! This is a great idea, and of course the publicity doesn't hurt either!
*wink* Sarah, thanks for posting the site.

You got that right. It shows that people still do care about the muppets.
