I'm sure something like this has been posted on here at one point in time, but I was just watching 'Trading Places' with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd from 1983, and was surprised to see not one, but two cameos by Muppeteers! The first was Frank Oz who played a police officer, and the second was...

I'm with you on this one. As much as I enjoyed the ads, I like the potential of your idea much better!

Canadian Muppet fans can see the frog tonight at 11:05 PM on the Strombo Show. There's a preview clip available here: http://www.cbc.ca/strombo/index.html, as well as some other goodies from over the years. I'm guessing that the entire interview will be available tomorrow.

Check out the episode of Muppets Tonight with Jason Alexander. It features a skit that parodies Murder on the Orient Express. I'd be hesitant to do a Holmes story, as much of his adventures were short fiction (apart from The Hound of the Baskervilles). Besides, we kind of limit ourselves to the...

I was wondering if anyone out there (most likely someone from the UK), might recall there ever being a TMS contest that awarded the winner a bounty of Muppet loot and a chance to visit the set.

For anybody living in the Vancouver area, Hourglass Comics in Port Moody has most of the figures from Series 4 to Series 9.

Too bad there's no Reporter Kermit. I can just read the Chance card now: Sesame Street News Flash, Big Bad Wolf blows down the houses of the Three Little Pigs. Pay $100.

He also doesn't mention "The Muppets Take Manhattan." I wonder if that means we'll never see another DVD release or a discontinuation of the current release. I remember back in the early '90s with Disney distributing Henson material, that "Manhattan" was also not part of the equation.

I can't really understand why so many people are up in arms up this. There are a lot more things to be upset of or afraid of seeing. It's a breast. That's all. Watching MTV at any point, you will see a lot worse, not to mention degrading.

I found that to be the problem with Muppets Tonight as well. They often did not seem like they knew what kind of direction they wanted to take.

I would strongly recommend reading the comic book, it's collected in trade paperback form and should be relatively easy to find. Unfortunately, the writer of the book, Alan Moore, had no real influence in the film's direction, and as a result much of the richness of the characters and their...

Where's Pepe with the historical landmark papers? Seriously, as long as the guy who got the Electric Mayhem bus doesn't pick this one up too.

Then again, whenever I see a DVD that claims to have "...and more!" it seems all it has to offer are movie trailers of films we'd like to forget (i.e. Kermit's Swamp Years *shudder*).

Don't forget that Scooter was selling orgainc popcorn in the opening scenes of The Muppet Movie!

Fer sure, I'd be all over that. Palisades seems more intent, however, to cover as much ground as possible with Muppet Treasure Island (which I consider to be the weakest of all the films). There are the two boxed sets of MCC PVCs coming out soon. Out of MCC characters I'd like to see the most in...
