Muppets, Alive!

Jarrod Fairclough – I’ve said many times how much I love fan videos.  I love it when people take the time to create a tribute to their favorite characters, and today’s is no different.  Philip D’Amour recently shot me an email with a link to a video that he made for his young daughter, to convince…

Kermit, Rowlf and Swedish Chef Tsum Tsums

Rowlf the Dog – Calm Among Crazies

Christopher Woods – When someone thinks of The Muppet Show, the first word that could come to mind is “chaos.” The bizarre happenings on the stage were often only topped by the troubles offstage. From the Swedish Chef being attacked by gun-toting lobsters, to Miss Piggy locking Kermit in a steamer trunk, to Gonzo being prematurely…
