    Breaking news! New Electric Company Series from PBS

    I'm a little mixed about the return of The Electric Company. I'm amped about it because the original was just so good and evocative of its time. I watched just as the series was finishing up the rerun cycles. Watched them all, and loved them all. Even had crushes on Rita Moreno and Jennifer...

    I Want To See The Lost Little Muppet Monsters Episodes

    Back at my usual hangout at Toon Zone, there was a thread talking about "Worst Ideas For Animation," and some uneducated bumbarah thought that The Muppet Show would be a bad idea for animation. I couldn't have disagreed anymore because, well, a Muppet animated series would be awesome. Heck, I...

    jim henson theme park

    Oh, man. I dreamed about a Jim Henson theme park ever since I found out who he was way back when I was a kid. A cool, tall bearded guy who sounded a lot like a slightly deeper voiced Kermit the Frog (hey, I was four years old, I was just a little guy). I looked at The Mupper Show, Sesame Street...

    The Great Space Coaster

    You know what's funny? I've been thinking a lot about The Great Space Coaster for a couple of months now. I You Tubed the original opening about a couple of weeks ago just for nostalgia's sake. I was like, whoa! this was a frelling cool show opening back in the day, and it's still cool. They...

    pepsi and Coke

    Coke or Pepsi? Pepsi or Coke? There is a third option. There is a choice. And my choice is RC. The others are good, but RC is a perfect balance of that Coke creamy dryness and the Pepsi sweetness.

    Do the Academy Awards need a new category?

    I'd pick three categories myself: - Best Voice Actor (Male and Female): The fact that Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Andy Serkis, Mel Blanc, Pinto Covig, Clarence Nash, Jack Mercer, Mae Quesel, Sterling Holloway, and countless other voice performers have never been nominated for an Oscar for their...

    Some of my puppets to share

    Sorry for the late response. Been busy with my other online endeavors (normally, this is where I would plug my site, but, that could be kind of crass if you don't know many people here). I've used FIMO and Sculpey on numerous occasions. I made a Spielberg medalion when I was in high-school out...

    The Ultimate Cable Channel Schedule

    My Schedule #1: A Retro-themed network I really, really want a Retro TV network, because Noggin lost its way, TV Land has become a joke, GSN has forgotten that the GS stands for Game Show, Boomerang is getting lamer (and I still can't get it), and there is still a demand for older properties...

    YOUR muppet movie!!

    How about a crazy comedy movie that blends The Muppet Movie with the original Blues Brothers, featuring Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem as the prominent characters rather than the "traditional" heroes of these Muppet romps. Here's the premise: Dr. Teeth, living a sanctified life in a...

    Creature Shop: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

    I thought the production was mostly British, from Garth Jennings (the director) to a bulk of the cast and creative types. I've never seen the series nor have I read the books. This was pretty much my intro to H2G2, and I pretty much dug it. It was wry British humor not unlike Monty Python, and...

    What legally and technically defines a "Muppet"?

    For starters, I'm not an expert on such things, so what I may say may not mean a whole hill of beans around these parts. A "Muppet" is a combination of traits that originally made up marionettes and puppets. Muppets have features prominent in both of those storytelling devices. The term was...
