Hi everyone,
I’ve subscribed to Muppet Central for at least 4-5 years and have always found it to be incredibly useful for determining what’s going on etc. I’ve never really gotten into forum culture so I haven’t been an active participant in the forums but now seems to be the time. More and more I find myself wanting to get feedback from the Muppet fan community.
I’m working on a film history MRES (an research masters degree, like a mini-PhD) at University of Nottingham (UK) and my research topic is the phenomenon surrounding the celebrity of Kermit the Frog. And if everything goes well, I’ll be continuing on to do a PhD on another Muppet topic.
Besides my current studies, I’m also a life-long Muppet fan. I try to watch as much of Henson’s work as I can. The core Muppets (from The Muppets Valentines Special to the current web-shorts), the fantasy films and Fraggle Rock are my particular favorites. Wembley
, and Gonzo are the characters I identify with most, and other favorites include:
, Pepe, Cantus,
, and Sir Didymus.
Anyway, I wanted to introduce myself as I may be needing to post questions or try to start discussions about various things. It’s wonderful to see such an active fan community and I’d like to take part.
Thanks, Aaron
