    Life is a Pic-a-nic: Yogi Bear's Guide to Happiness

    Hi All, This is a shameless plug for the new book I am writing... or rather, Yogi is writing. I'm just helping him with it. It's going to be very funny, even if I do say so myself. It will be out later this year, but pre-orders should be appearing soon. It will be a fairly inexpensive...

    Kermit Missing!

    I wasn't sure where to put this, so I'm putting it here... I drove past the Henson Studios in Hollywood today and the Kermit "Charlie Chaplin" statue is gone! I don't know if he's just out for repairs or if it's permanent. If it's the latter, it's too bad. I wonder if Disney finally made...

    Fozzie Name Origin

    This comes directly from Dave Goelz. I always thought he was named for Muppet builder Faz Fazakas, but Dave doesn't think so, especially since they are spelled differently. He said there was a rumor that it was "F. OZ-zie" for Frank Oz, but he's not even sure that's true. What's the real...

    The Fate of Muppetvision 3*D

    It was announced this morning that Disney is pouring $1.1 Billion dollars into remaking California Adventure (Yes, that "billion" with a "b"! More than they spent building the park in the first place.) Only Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Soarin' Over California are safe. Everything else...

    Big Big World

    Does anyone know how the giant Sloth is operated? He has two working hands, instead of one being on a wire like Big Bird or Bear. At first, I thought since the whole show is done on blue screen (or green screen) that there was a second puppeteer operating the right arm, but then I saw a shot...

    Jack Burns

    Speaking of people who wrote for the Muppets, on a happier note... Two weeks ago, I met Jack Burns! I swear I thought he had passed away. I vividly remember hearing about it. But there he was in the flesh and looking good. His hair is all white now, but that's still better than being dead...
