My New Year's Eve

8:00: I turn on New Year's Rockin' Eve. WHAT?? The channel blocked that show out, due to some stupid errors.
8:03: After crazy attempts, I turn on A Toast to 2014! with Miss Piggy in it.
8:12: So far, we learned about belfies ( butt selfies) doing the Nae-Nae, and Miss Piggy wondering if chocolate is protein. But, sadly, we are at a commercial break.
8:14: I WANT TO HEAR MISS PIGGY, NOT COMMERCIALS!
8:14: They announce where the party is on A Toast to 2014. However, they are wrong, because everyone knows my house is where THE PARTY IS AT!!!
8:15: I'm waiting for a nice Miss Piggy insight on this news... I'm not finding any.
8:17: " Mariah Carey"... " the world's biggest music diva" Ah-hem, what about a certain pig???
8:18: On the subject of Consicious on Coupling, Miss Piggy states, " If Kermit tried that on moi, it would be more like unconscious on coupling! HMMF!" That was a wonderful comment.

10:32: Surprisingly, Talk Dirty to Me is kind of catchy.. But, never mind that. I wish there was a cameo appearance by Kermit the Frog in this.
10:33: Seeing the ceremony at Rockefeller Center is making me excited for my Muppet-packed trip to New York on the 22nd!
10:35: MY EYES HAVE BAGS UNDER THEM!!!!!!!!!!
10:36: Hmm... have you ever noticed how commercial breaks go on too LONG?
10:39: Florida Georgia Line is providing some nice, cultural experience to this otherwise sick, vulgar show. - If Sam the Eagle Was Hosting This Show
10:40: I'm sorry, I was bored!
10:44: I'm getting very sleepy.. You are very lucky I promised you guys I did this.
10:44: " JUDGEMENT FREE!!!!!" " JUDGEMENT FREE!!!!!" " Alright, I already said Judgement free 5 times. Why should i say it again?"
10:45: Wahhh! A performance by One Direction! I swear, they have a secret plan to take over the universe!
10:45: Dang it! What I hate worse than One Direction is commercial breaks.
10:47: The ability to stay awake is a.....a..... Alright, I really need some water and a big bucket..
10:48: Can I survive 72 more minutes? CAN I? CAAANNNN IIIIII?
10:49: The short answer to that is I can't. I will prove it to you. I'll do my best, but just saying..
10:50: Really? One Direction? Story of my Life? I need some commentary by Miss Piggy! If only A Toast to 2014! was still on..
10:51: 69............................ So close............
10:52: 68............................ So close............
10:55: I might sleep. I apologize if I do .

11:12: Gah! There's news on, no New Year's Rockin' Eve...
11:14: hey recorded this message using my iPad mini microphone
11:17: That didn't work as good as I thought.
11:18: New. Year's Eve news is not as interesting as you'd think......
11:18: I need some Miss Piggy commentary or Johnny Car.... I mean, Jimmy Fallon news. ( That's a reference of a reference! You just got schooled by a Muppet encyclopedia!)
11:20: I can go without sleep for just 40 more minutes, right?
11:21: this iPad mini message is probably going to come out wad
11:22: How did it get wad out of bad? Whatever...

Disney Drive-On with The Muppets episode 1 review

 Hi-ho, Muppet fans! This is The Muppet Fan, back with a new post! Alright, so, yesterday, I posted a  whole Muppety year of review!! One of the things that was under mentioned was Disney Drive-On starring The Muppets, which was a 6-episode series made by Disney starring Walter and Pepe. I liked this series, so I figured I would review the episodes, starting with episode 1:

 So, the whole idea of this is that Walter, a Muppet Studios intern, is " helped" by Pepe when Pepe is in a meeting with Kermit and Kermit leaves. When Walter is trying to sell business cards for Pepe, he accidentally falls into the Disney animation studio and meets Oscar-winning Martin Landau!
 One of the best parts in this is two monkeys that are trying to plan ideas for a new Muppet movie, but are failing, but they don't know that!
 I also like the recurring joke of Pepe calling Walter " Howard" and Walter explaining that it's not his name, but Pepe still calls him that anyways.
 Also, it's fantastic they brought Bill Barretta in because he makes awesome contributions, including
 the characters Pepe, Bobo, and Big Mean Carl, who eats a poor little bunny...
 It's interesting to note that this was made during the year 2012, because of the obvious " Wreck-It Ralph" reference shown, which seems annoying at some times when you watch the video.
 Also, there's a awesome appearance by Kermit the Frog,who in a short time gets taken over by Pepe.
 When Walter tries to sell business cards that are made by Pepe, the results are funny because absolutely nobody will buy them except for surprisingly Martin Landau!
 There's an awesome cameo by Martin Landau, who is in the recording studio when Walter comes in to his surprise and meet him!! Walter accidentally records his line, and it's a wrap for Martin Landau, who says, " Well, if it's a wrap, it's a wrap!" Then, there's over-long credits ( nothing new, in our day) and it's the end!
 This episode is funny and fun, and everything you would want in a first episode. If only we could get an episode like this for the Muppet interstitial show in 2015... but, let's not talk about that!
 The funniest gag in this is probably when Pepe is announced to help Walter, and Pepe hands Walter the business cards, and there's about 12 seconds of silence, then Pepe yells at Walter, " NOW, GO!!!"
 I would rate this episode a 9.5 out of a 10, and join me tomorrow when I review the episode number 2 of Disney Drive-On Starring The Muppets!

Some new Muppet places to visit for moi!

 Hello, Muppet fans!! Although this isn't much of a " post",  I just wanted to tell you something. I am going to go to an action-packed day on January 22nd. I AM going to be going to that  promised New York trip. It's been so long since I promised that, but at least I'm going to do it! Then, at 6:00, I'm going to be going to the New York Public Library for Tough Pigs' Muppet Vault!! YAYY!! So, while you cannot expect any posts on the 22nd, you can expect two on the 23rd! ( And, one extra one today because of the lack of things on this post!) BYE!

More info about Muppet-Vision-3D closing in California

  Anyone who has grown up with the lovable attraction at Walt Disney World, Muppet Vision 3D, will be very sad to hear the following news.
  Jim Henson's last project before he died was a 3-D show centered around the Muppets entitled Muppet Vision 3D. It was about, well, basically anything you can imagine. With its 4-D effects and new character named Waldo, it was an instant hit, debuting in Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL on May 17th, 1991, exactly 1 year and 1 day after Jim Henson's death.
  In 2001, the show opened in Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. Same stuff. Same everything.
  About 1 or 2 months ago, Disneyland announced that they would be closing Muppet-Vision-3D temporarily to make way for a Frozen show in the winter. Fine by me!
  But, even more recently, we learned that that was not true. Most likely, the California Adventure park is going to close the ride forever. It devastates California fans. It is closed as I'm typing this.
  ToughPigs ( who hopefully don't jump at the opportunity to badmouth this site because we used their name) jumped right on the scene and interviewed a Disney employee.
  The Disney employee reported that the Muppet props and decorations have been stripped from the queue area and lobby, and the theater will be stripped too. He also says that the Frozen show will be a sing-along, and they're building an ice rink next door.
  Personally, I think this is an extremely bad publicity move for Disney, because this is offending Muppet fans, in all kinds of ways. When Disney bought the Muppets in 2004, they said they would take good care of The Muppets. This move is saying, " Screw what I made as a promise when I bought a beloved franchise!"
  Disney brought us such great movies as The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted, only to backstab us fans right in the pants and go ahead and close the only ride we have of The Muppet Show Muppets.
  But, at least, we still have Florida. If the ride was not open in Florida, I would be very, very mad.
  Personally, I liked the Disneyland queue better than the Walt Disney World one since it includes Beaker about to receive a pie in the face, and Gonzo crashed into the theater, since it leaves a hole in the wall.
  It's just too bad. This week, to make us feel better, we will hear other Muppet fans' rants about this issue, and we will also see how The Muppets have been used in other ways at the Disney theme parks.
  Well, Disney announced that this would be temporary, but, sadly that may not be this case. More on this as the rumor develops even more.

I'm Back/How Awesome The Great Muppet Caper CD is/Muppet Central Problems/

 Hello, my fanbase of 545 people on the Internet! That's right! I am The Muppet Fan, and I am back and ready with a whole bunch of new ideas for posts.
 I've got a couple of topics here today, one of them being that I'm BACK!!!!! ( Even though we just went over that.) There's not much details about that, but my next side topic is I'M HAVING MUPPET CENTRAL PROBLEMS!!!
 As you might know, Muppet Central is one of Earth's leading authorities on all things Muppets, and they have a nice little discussion forum. WELL, IT'S NOT SO NICE, NOW!!!! I don't want to start any controversy that I am against this site, because I am not. In fact, I love it, I'm just experiencing a few minor ( no, major) problems with it.
 I was fozzieisfunny, and I  haven't been on it for like 2 months. This morning, I realized how I should go on it again. Good idea, right? I changed my name to fozziefunny2. Guess what? I got blocked from the website because I " spammed." What the crap?? I didn't even do anything!!!
 And, then I create a new account called fozziebear2, and I'm still pending approval. They may block me again, if they read this, but I'm begging them not to.
 Now, for our main topic: HOW AWESOME the songs from The Great Muppet Caper are! Now, let's do a little review of each of the songs.

1. Hey, a Movie!   This song is awesome because it develops the standard " This is ALL just a movie" format that they would later use in such movies as Muppets Most Wanted. I like this song because it gets viewers a feel for what type of humor The Muppets have and what the basic idea is. Oh, and later reworked into We're Doing a Sequel! ( We don't know that, but I just like saying pointless " facts".) Also, it features a cameo appearance by Richard Hunt as a taxi driver and it has Sweetums falling into holes. Honestly, who wouldn't want to see this movie after seeing this musical number? Comment your thoughts about this song!

2. Happiness Hotel!  Alright, so Kermit Fozzie and Gonzo are in London where they stumble upon this hotel and sing a song about it. That's one of the best sentences ever. Just saying. This song is awesome, and also generates an excuse for me to say that The Muppets say swears only because this song has h-e-2 hockey sticks in this. Also, Rizzo and the Rats are bellhops which is awesome. This song will get stuck in your head forever, because of its catchy lyrics and funny dialogue. There's an epic all-star Muppet cast in this movie, too. Pretty awesome.

3. Steppin' Out With a Star!  This song is OK. I just like how Kermit sounds saying a whole bunch of fancy words. It's pretty awesome to hear a froggy voice saying fancy stuff. I also like the little dance number with Kermit and his shadow. OK, NEXT!!!!

4. Night Life!  Once again, this song is OK but it's not that good. I mean, I like how Lips is playing the trumpet ( LIPS FOR LIFE!) and I like the vocals by Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, but that's about it. ALRIGHT, NEW ONE!!!!

5. Couldn't We Ride!  This is a daring, bold feat of puppetry. Puppets on bikes. Pretty awesome. Jim Henson developed this scene so awesomely I can't get enough of it. Also, Fozzie on a bike just looks adorable. Also, the short commentary by Statler and Waldorf is funny. By watching the beginning of this video, you'd think, " 2 puppets on bikes. ( sarcastically) Wow. So amazing." except then when you see the whole conga line of Muppets on bikes your jaw drops and you immediately want to know the mechanics that were used so you can try it with a puppet. Okay, the next song is my personal favorite...

6. Piggy's Fantasy!!!!!!! THIS SONG IS SO AMAZING!!!!! '" Happiness, Miss Piggy! One caress, Miss Piggy!" GAH!!! KERMIT AND NICKY HOLIDAY FIGHTING IS KINDA LIKE OH MY GOODNESS IS THIS HAPPENING?? I LOVE IT SO MUCH I WOULD DIE TO HAVE THIS SONG SUNG FOR ME A MILLION TIMES BY CHARLES GRODIN!!! AHH!!! THE PERFORMANCES ARE SO BEAUTIFUL IT'S SO AMAZING I CAN"T EVEN... AHH!!!! YOU JUST WANT TO PUT THIS SONG ON REPLAY FOR A MILLION HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS AND THE WATER DANCE IS SO AMAZING THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE HOW HVRIVYwyyefITWEvutfcU!!!!!!! MY POINT HAS BEEN MADE!!!!!

7. The First Time it Happens!  Sorry about the video quality. There's no picture. This song is cool, too, for the reason that it's AWESOME!! Kermit and Miss Piggy show great chemistry, even without the video you can tell. My favorite part in this is where Miss Piggy starts tap-dancing. It's beautifully choreographed. This song is also cool because, like other songs in this movie, it was written by Sesame Street song writer Joe Raposo!

 Now, that's about it for today's post! So, see you tomorrow for another post! Bye!

The Furchester Hotel, a British version of Sesame Street!

 Finally, people from Britain have a Sesame Street. The show is called The Furchester Hotel and it stars Elmo and Cookie Monster, as well as some other Muppets designed especially from the show.
 Now, us Americans are a bit jealous of them even though we've had Sesame Street going in America for 45 years. ( The Brits were jealous of us probably way before they even had ideas for The Muppet Show.)
 People are saying, " Hey, I want to see The Furchester Hotel! It's unfair we Americans don't get to see shows the people in Britain do!"
 Meanwhile, over at The Furchester Hotel, they created a YouTube channel. It has little clips, and pieces of the show, and things like that, and recently they started adding episodes of The Furchester Hotel.
 Now, the wait is over, Americans! Watch 3 episodes of The Furchester Hotel right here!

Now, how's that for size? Although I am not going to give reviews of them right now, I will in a couple of days so keep your eyes out for those! Also for special clips of The Furchester Hotel, you can also thank me for them:

 I will also put up reviews of those, too! Well, that's it for news in the Muppet world today! See you tomorrow!

Bob from Sesame Street has a website!

 You know what's pretty cool? The power of technology! You know what's even cooler? Bob McGrath ( Bob) from Sesame Street has a brand new website! I posted the link in my last article, which you should totally check out.
 It has a bunch of cool photos of his early life, his life in Japan, and some cool Sesame Street pictures to look at!
 It's pretty awesome, and you should check it out. There's also some videos on there, which I did not get the chance to look on it.
 Also, it shows Bob's email, and I emailed him: sesamebob@gmail.com. He also has a mailing list on there, and there's also a little blog.
 He also got a YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, which you should also check out. ( On his YouTube, there's a video of him skydiving, and he's 82! Now, that's good health!)
 Bob McGrath is awesome, like we know on Sesame Street, and this website tends to prove it even, more, which I don't know how is even possible!
 That's about it. I don't have much information today but I have plenty good reasons. Remember to check out my other blog, The Laurel and Hardy Fan, where I will be posting on later today. Bye!

No Real Muppet News...

 Frowny-frowny-frowny-frowny-frowny-face. There's no Muppet news for me to post today. Wah. I have no ideas.
 Oh, wait, I know! I WOULD'VE HAD AN IDEA IF PEOPLE HAD SENT ME SESAME STREET EPISODE SUGGESTIONS SO THAT I CAN REVIEW THEM!!!!!!
 Unless you want to see Da Bob Dot Com, there's no Muppet news today. Well, bye.

A New Blog I Created!

 Yesterday, due to the enormous success of this blog ( 340 views in a month and a half! THANK YOU SO MUCH PEOPLE!!!!), I created a new blog.
 I know what you're thinking: " WAH! WAH! NO MORE MUPPET FAN FOR ME!!!!! I SPENT MY PAST MONTH AND A HALF READING SOMETHING THAT ISN'T GOING TO BE POSTING ANY NEW STUFF ANYMORE!"
 I can sum up my response in 2 words: You're wrong. I will still post every day on this blog, as well as the other blog.
 So, what's this blog about, you say? It's about two great comedy geniuses of the 20's and 30's named Laurel and Hardy. They were excellent comics.
 Here's the link: thelaurelandhardyfan.blogspot.com
 I hope that you check it out. As usual, it will display my sort of sense of humor as I discuss Laurel and Hardy news and review their films in chronological order. I hope you like it!
 Now, I know what you're probably thinking: WHERE MY MIPPET NWS?
 Here it is:

There! Is that good enough for you? Well, even if it isn't, I'm still going to leave you hangin...........

Merv Griffin Show episode with The Muppets on DVD!!!

 Today, we got some pretty exciting news!
 In 1984, Jim Henson and Frank Oz made an appearance on television to promote The Muppets Take Manhattan. As usual, they weren't the stars; the Muppets were!
 Although this episode was easily forgotten, it's made a resurface through the magical art of DVD'S!
 They released a DVD of dozens and dozens of episodes of The Merv Griffin Show recently, and The Muppets episode is on there!!! There's one downside, though: THE WHOLE DVD COSTS 130 DOLLARS!!!!! It's not worth it at all to pay 130 dollars for one episode of The Muppets on a show.
 That's why we can use the handy-dandy art of YOUTUBE to watch the 11-minute appearance:

 So, you can see it right there! But, if you're a fan of The Merv Griffin Show, then pay the 130! What are you waiting for?
 ( P.S. I apologize for the shortness of this article. So, that's why you're getting another article today!!!)

Sesame Street turns... ( read the article to find out!)

 Today, we have some really exciting news for all Muppet fans that have been a child after 1969!!!!! Well, today Sesame Street turned 45! Here's a little history about Sesame Street:
  Sesame Street was first thought out by Lloyd Morrisett and Joan Ganz Cooney and a whole bunch of people that used to be on a famous children's show called Captain Kangaroo and they blah blah blahbydy blahbydy blah blah sir-blahs-a-lot BLAH! The point is they dreamt that someday there would be a educational show with puppets in it, which is practically one-fourths of the educational shows we see today, but for 1969 this was a first!
  " But,"  Joan Ganz Cooney said, " can we hire an actually decent puppeteer, that isn't the best in the business, like Jim Henson?" They thought of nothing. ( NOTE: Those past 2 sentences are not true, but this is:) They decided to hire Jim Henson, and Frank Oz.
 Wait, two men could not puppeteer so much puppets!!!! So, they chose another puppeteer who went by the name of Caroll Spinney. In the first episode, Oscar was orange, Big Bird hardly had any feathers on his head, Ernie's eyes were placed weird, Kermit sounds weird, and Cookie Monster is nowhere even close to Cookie Monster. There was a lot of fixing to do.
  There were also some pretty decent HUMAN actors on Sesame Street, too, but we want to learn about the Muppets.
  By the 2nd season, there was some more Muppets, and the show was awesome. If you want proof, here is one of the episodes from the 2nd season:

 The show kept on getting better and better, until in the early 1980's ELMO came a huge star.

  Anyhow, today I was surprised to hear this exchange on radio this morning. However, I pay no attention to names, so I'm going to address them as " Somebody"s.

 

 

    SOMEBODY: Today, let's celebrate the 45th anniversary of Sesame Street!

    SOMEBODY 2: Yeah, I always hated Oscar the Grouch.

    SOMEBODY: There's nothing likable about him.

    SOMEBODY 3: But, Snuffy was always my idol on the show.

    SOMEBODY 2: I always hated Big Bird!

 

 Is that even allowed on the radio? Anyhow, take an hour out of your day to go watch an episode or two or three of everybody's favorite educational show, Sesame Street! See you tomorrow with a new article!

Muppet Merchandise: Official Muppet Show Script!

 A couple of years ago, I got this awesome Muppet gift, and guess what it was? IT WAS A GILDA RADNER MUPPET SHOW SCRIPT FROM 1977!!!! ( Even though the episode was filmed later.) I'm guessing it was Jim Henson's copy, because whoever had it, drew all over it. Anyways, I thought I would transcribe it so that you people can compare the episode to the script. If you don't have it on DVD, here's the episode:

 

  I know what you're thinking: " How can we tell if this is an actual script?" Well, when I got it, it came with a letter of authentication reading, " A rare original script for the original series of The Muppet Show. This script is for the episode guest starring Gilda Radner, recording date 7th March 1978. The 42 page script was formerly the property of Bryan Holgate, Art Director on the show, and has various hand annotations. Muppet Show and Henson items in general are always hard to find and this is a wonderful example of Muppet history. We hereby guarantee this script to be 100% authentic."

 So, let's get on with part 1 of the script!

Kermit: A six foot talking parrot?

Gilda: You did get my letter?

Kermit: Of course I did, but I couldn't quite make out your handwriting.

Gilda: Sorry

Kermit: A parrot was it?

Gilda: Sure. A parrot, what did you think I'd asked for?

Alright, so tune in to part 2 of my Muppet Show script, coming soon!


Muppet-Vision-3-D closed temporarily in California

 IS THIS THE END OF HUMANITY AS WE KNOW IT???????? You don't know what I'm talking about, do you?
 Well, in case you didn't know, Disney World and Disney Land decided to make a Muppet 3-D show for people to watch at their parks. ( The Walt Disney World version opened in 1991 in Hollywood Studios. and the Disneyland  version opened in 2001 ( or 2004, I have no idea) in California Adventure.
 It's about Kermit going into a little tour of Muppet Labs, Fozzie doing cheap 3-D tricks, Bean Bunny leaving forever because he messed up Miss Piggy's song, and The Muppets on a search for Bean Bunny. Wow, I had no idea how much Muppet-Vision-3-D is about!
 Well, anyways, we got news a couple of days ago that Muppet-Vision-3D is closed temporarily ( sure....) at California Adventure. Of course, Muppet fans are disappointed a lot because Muppet-Vision-3D is one of the only ways to see The Muppets in 3-D and because it has a great storyline.
 There's a lot of theories behind this, and I'm sad to say this is the most accurate one there is:

            Muppet-Vision-3-D is closed for now, but on December 20th, the theater will open back up again to have a new Frozen ( I know, BLECH) show for 6 months! Then, Muppet-Vision-3-D will open back up again in May of 2014.

 Just saying... this could last forever, because I love The Muppets and all, but more people like Frozen than The Muppets... Many of the people I know have gone to Disney World and have not seen Muppet-Vision, but they would see a Frozen show...
 I just realized how crazy I'm talking... Disneyland wouldn't do this, would they? I mean, after all, they did buy The Muppets in 2004, and they wanted to ever since 1989! But, on the other hand, Frozen was such a huge success. There's a lot of what-ifs to this question, and I would not like to answer some of them..
 But, Frozen did receive $1,274,219,009 from the day it came out to the day it stopped playing. The Muppets ( 2011) got 165 million. That's not a very good comparison.
 We can keep Muppet-Vision alive on California! Everybody, go to The Walt Disney Company with huge signs during when they're making computer animation for their next.... What, too big? On the bright side, Muppet-Vision is still open in Florida!
 More news on this as this story develops.

THE MUPPETS ARE GOING TO HAVE THEIR OWN TV SHOW ON.... Disney Junior???

 Today, I have the best news on the planet. ( Oh, and I had a fantastic Halloween, by the way. I spent it watching the Vincent Price and Alice Cooper episodes of TMS.) Would you like to know what it is?
 Well, do you know what this picture is? It's a picture of Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo the Great, and Miss Piggy surrounded by Bill Barretta ( performer and sometimes director of The Muppets) and Nancy Kanter, executive VP, original programming and general manager of Disney Junior....which can only mean one thing: THE MUPPETS ARE HAVING A INTERSTITIAL SHOW ON DISNEY JUNIOR!!!!
 You're probably looking at me like, " What the heck is a interstitial?" but it's a short TV show in between commercials ( usually about 2-3 minutes long.) Capiesche? Capiesche.
 And, now, about the target audience: Disney Junior? DISNEY JUNIOR?????? THAT CHANNEL IS FOR 2-6 YEAR OLDS!!! THE MUPPETS DO NOT HAVE A TARGET AUDIENCE OF 2-6 YEARS OLD!! Such shows as Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Sofia the First will be on the same channel as The Muppets.. It drives me crazy.
 Okay, Jim Henson's vision after Sesame Street was that puppets wouldn't just be for kids, and he proved that by making The Muppet Show, but yet still people think puppets are for kids..... GAH! LISTEN TO JIM HENSON'S AWESOME OPTOMISM, FOR ONCE!! Am I overreacting too much? Yes, but y'know...like...okay, so...alright....GAHHHHH!
 It's set to air in 2015, and they started filming in September. Yes, we will be seeing Kermit and Miss Piggy in the in-between-little-and-big screen!
 It looks like it's in fantastic hands, since they've got Bill Barretta on board, who's been working for The Muppets for about 20 years and is performer of such characters as Pepe the King Prawn, Rowlf the Dog, Johnny Fiama, and Bobo the Bear.
 Even though it's on the worst channel it could be, I'm pumped to see Muppet interstitials on TV in 2015! ( Notice how I said 2015, not 2015-2017 or something like that. 'Cause it probably will go on for about 4 months, if so, and then get cancelled marathon-style.)
 Now, it's time for What-Ifs! What if it's more adult then we think it is? What if it becomes a half-hour show? What if it features Seymour and Sal Minella as a team ( because that would be awesome.)? What if Frank Oz comes back to perform his characters?
 Tune in when we hear more information on the subject!

Why Do Muppet Fans Need the Internet?

 Well, it's me again!! This time with a topic that not much people could answer. And, if they did, they would say, " I don't know. I guess we just need it." I will provide a lengthy answer to: Why do Muppet fans need the internet?
 Muppet fans need the internet for 1. YouTube. YouTube provides many, many, many Muppet YouTube videos that we would have never heard of otherwise. It also gives us old favorites that have been released on DVD for less than you would have to pay regular for them. YouTube is pretty awesome because of all those reasons.
 2. Google. Did you know there's a search engine named GOOGLE???? No, but really, I like this because you can search basically anything Muppet-related and chances are some good results will come up. And, if you search " Muppet" 1,860,000 results come up. That's almost 2 million results! You can also go to the great Muppet websites including..
 3. Muppet Central! Muppet Central is wonderful because not only can you view some Muppet news ( from the late 90's up until basically 2013) but you can post on a forum with other Muppet fans! I would consider being a member of this forum, because it's excellent. I also like it because there's interviews with some of The Muppeteers from the time way back when Muppets From Space premiered. I also enjoy...
 4. ToughPigs and The Muppet Mindset! These are some very cool Muppet websites and they give me all my information for articles, as well as being the humorous websites they is. ( I know that was bad grammar. It was intended.) Anyways, I really like how they do sort of like some series, which has inspired me with my Fan Fiction Fridays, Muppet Review Mondays, Muppet Babies Reviews, and Moopet Highlights.
 Well, that's about it for today! Join me tomorrow where I talk All About Animal! ( Sorry about the short article today.) BYE!

Gerry Parkes, Doc from Fraggle Rock, dies.

 Today, we got some shocking news that no one was really expecting ( except for me... I knew that it would unfortunately happen, because he was kind of sort of 90, but that's not the point..) that the actor who played Doc on Fraggle Rock, Gerry Parkes, died at the age of 90.
 This is a very shocking blow for us Muppet fans. Doc and Sprocket were one of the best Muppet ( and human) pairings of all time. He was the only human in Muppet Family Christmas, besides the brief cameo by Jim Henson, and that's a good enough reason for Muppet fans to be sad about this.
 But, really, all jokes aside ( maybe), this is very, very sad. A little video of Gerry Parkes as Doc knowing that we will remember him forever and his spirit will live on:

 That is from the last episode of Fraggle Rock, a heartwarming one, where Doc eventually encounters all of the Fraggles. Well, Doc will meet again with Gobo, Convincing John, and Cantus in heaven. We will all be looking forward to meeting you in heaven some day.
 Besides from his work he did with the Fraggles, he was also an accomplished actor and had a successful career. He worked on the 1960's TV shows The Forest Rangers, The Littlest Hobo, and Cagney and Lacey.
 The way he handled his character on Fraggle Rock is excellent. He would look at something, wonder what's wrong, and then Sprocket would bark or whimper sadly, and he would think it would be an idea and somehow figure it out himself. It would turn into comedic genius, and one of the highlights of Fraggle Rock.
 I also liked how Fraggle Rock was set up: a segment with Doc and Sprocket, Fraggle plot points, an encounter with Sprocket, some more Fraggle silliness, and another segment with Doc and Sprocket. I always loved watching Doc and Sprocket. The best part was watching the one or two fifths of the show that Doc and Sprocket would be in.

  Anyways, my point for this article is to explain that Gerry Parkes will surely be missed. I bet that we're all happy that he lived until 90, and could explore the increasing amount of Fraggle fandom we have also seen. Sadly, he will not be able to see the even highly increasing amount of fandom the show is getting. His work will live on on The Hub.
 Well, that's it for all of my thoughts on this matter. If you would like your thoughts on this to be heard, send a PM to me on Muppet Central. My username is fozzieisfunny. My sum up of this whole thing is: :(. I'm sad. Now, let me rewatch the whole series of Fraggle Rock in peace!!!!! Bye! See you tomorrow!
