How they operate the Muppets

[Was Once Ernie]

It's no secret...

Is there any site that shows how they operated the Muppets in the old Muppet Show I really want to know how they do it without being seen.

There have been several behind-the-scenes specials produced through the years. Jim was never one to keep secrets.

There's a great show called "Of Muppets and Men" all about the making of "The Muppet Show". If you ever get a chance to see it, it would answer all your questions.

Oh, very good! Thank you for reminding me! I need to add another story to my "Behind the Scenes of The Muppet Movie"!

Check that thread for more about how the mouth movements are done.
