To celebrate 40 years of The Muppet Show, we’ve asked 40 people for their favorite Muppet Show moment. Bonnie Erickson – Muppet Designer and Builder Miss Piggy’s First Karate Chop Unfortunately Bonnie didn’t have enough time to write anything, however in an email she did sight Miss Piggy’s very first karate chop as a favorite…
Jarrod Fairclough – Believe it or not, but The Muppet Show recently celebrated 40 years on the air! To celebrate, all next week will be dedicated to The Muppet Show, with a 4 part series called ‘40 Favorite Muppet Show Moments‘! We already have some great people contributing (including a couple that were there 40 years…
Michael Wermuth Jnr – Time for a field trip, class! Today, we take a tour of the Muppet Theater. We’ll learn about all the different locations as seen on The Muppet Show – which means we won’t get into locations featured only in books, the 2011 film The Muppets, or the attic from the Playhouse Video…
Kieran Moore – I recently got into an internet debate about the premiere date of The Muppet Show and it got me thinking… You see The Muppet Show has about a gazillion birthdays due to its syndicated status. I won’t bore you with all the gory details (as it’s well documented elsewhere), but here in the…
Kieran Moore – Here in the UK we’re about to go into a holiday weekend (our last until Christmas) so I’ve been watching the weather very closely. Three things are true about Brits and the weather: first, we love talking about it; second, we can experience all four seasons in one day; and third, it will…
Michael Wermuth Jnr – Over the years, there have been many Muppet and Henson productions on home video, and today, class, we’ll take a look at the many video deals. Today’s class won’t be including Sesame Street videos (that’s a whole ‘nother lesson) or international releases. Let’s begin! During the 1980s, various Henson properties were split…
Kieran Moore – If you remember, last summer one of my charts sent the Muppets off on a road trip tour of The United States of America. Starting at the east coast with a “New York State of Mind” and ending on the Pacific isles with a “Hawaiian War Chant”, the gang took their very special…
Dr. Jarrod Fairclough – Short illnesses effect all of us in different ways. We all get colds, we’re all susceptible to the flu. It’s a basic fact that all humans get sick. But did you know Muppets can get sick too? Below you’ll find just 4 of the ‘itis’ family illnesses some of our favorite…
Kieran Moore – I couldn’t resist! Although there are plenty of Muppet creatures that haven’t had their own list yet, there was no way I wouldn’t be featuring an Animal-based chart as one of my “Animal”-based charts. After all, if someone can name me a more famous Muppet “Animal” I’ll give them a donut. There aren’t…
Kieran Moore – Over the last 8 weeks it feels like I’ve often started these animal charts by saying something along the lines of “Wow, there really are a lot of Muppet bears/horses/chickens/birds” and now I’m slightly concerned that I may have peaked too early as there really are a heck of a lot of Muppet…
