    TV Alert: "In Their Own Words" Jim Henson Special on PBS Tuesday September 15, 2015

    A nice tribute. Seems like they got all the facts straight. Included enough commentary to provide a good picture of Jim Henson, in addition to his own words. I especially enjoyed the comments by his family members and the Frank Oz description of a more complex person with more dimension than we...

    Video: Flowers on the Wall with Bunsen and Beaker

    A lot of work went into this video. It's so well done (and so was Beaker at the end)! Thanks for sharing.

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    My first thoughts were of Jerry at Muppetfest. He was outstanding, especially during the sing-along parts. He was so engrossed in them. I loved how he came out in the motorized recliner (I don't know for sure, but I think I had seen it before in an episode of Home Improvement). Jerry seemed like...

    Kevin Clash lecture

    Oops. I already went up there and asked about how he mentors up and coming performers. Good questions though. He did talk a little about his background with Captain Kangaroo. In a nutshell, he said he's taken all he learned in the past and carried it all with him in what he does today.

    Your Thoughts: Muppet Central Forum Upgrade March 24

    It all looks good! Well done! I am wondering why it says I'm a new member when I've participated for years. Did it all reset with the upgrade? Thanks! Lynnette

    Muppet Plush arrive at Build-a-Bear Workshop

    I went there the day Kermit and Piggy first came out in order to get both. But Piggy was just soooo strange looking that I just couldn't purchase her. Kermit is "off" too but he's still cute in the BaB style. The fact that he's also a puppet makes it all worthwhile. Fun! Looking forward to...

    Puppet Improv UK

    Adult version in Edinburgh So...who's going, who's gone, and what about the details of the event that we would love to hear so much about?! Since it's improv, I'm sure those of you lucky enough to go will even have details to compare with each other, depending on the show attended. I'm...

    New, New, NEW Muppet Stuff from American Greetings!!

    Greeting cards at Target I don't remember now what brand made them but there was a small section of new Muppet greeting cards at the local Target. Hope that helps someone else looking for items. I don't think we specifically have an American Greetings store in any malls around here...

    The Producers and Creature Shop

    I saw the new movie musical The Producers and noticed in the credits that the Jim Henson Creature Shop was involved and about 8 performers (including Fran Brill). I'm sure that was for Franz's pigeons (including Adolf who does an appropriate salute!). Weird to think of Nazi Muppets - a bit...
