Celebs
Hey, Nate, busy as the Dickens of late, but could you save Adam Rodriguez for me )he'll be in episode 4270)? Not so much that I'm a huge fan, haven't really watched the series even, but you know how I love mystery connections, since he's actually spoofing his persona as a detective character in the episode. -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 19:03, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * You bet. I don't have a press photo for his page yet anyway, so I wasn't planning on starting one til one surfaces.  I really wanted to spend my wiki time on pop culture references, but got sidelined.  lol  -- ''Nate  (talk ) 19:10, August 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * I know the feeling. The worst is when you find a reference but get sidetracked or think "I'll add it when I get a scan or screengrab." And then a few days later you remember what the reference was *to*, but not exactly where you found it! -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 19:22, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

IE bug fixed?
Hi! The IE bug was fixed and released last night, so now it should be back to normal for you. Could you check and let me know whether the issue has gone away for you? Thanks! -- Danny (talk ) 17:16, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I poked around a little yesterday and I'll poke around some more today, but I think it has been fixed. Huzzah!  It was quite annoying to say the least.  -- ''Nate  (talk ) 18:09, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Can you picture that
Heh. Has someone been looking at John E. Barrett's online portfolio, or is it coincidence? -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 17:31, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm actually trying to clean up my hard drive and am purging stuff that I had to go on here. I've got things piling up since the fall for the wiki and I'm trying to make some time to get it on here.  However, I don't remember where those pics came from, so it might have been there.  I've got some shots of some Muppet windows at FAO Schwarz too that I had in the same folder that will be the start of a seperate page for that too (along with my own pics of the Bear in the Big Blue House display when I dig them up).  If he had those on his site, then I know where they came from.  lol. -- ''Nate  (talk ) 19:54, July 14, 2011 (UTC)

A Falk in the Park
Awwwwwww. Although given his recent health/mental issues, it's less tragic than it could be, but he was loved and will be missed. My friend asked me why he wasn't billed in Great Muppet Caper. Probably to keep it a surprise, but I like to think he just showed up on location dressed like that and they said, "Hey, Peter, would you ramble to Kermit for five minutes? We're running short." -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 18:55, June 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * I like to think of his scenes in The Princess Bride in much the same way. You can guess I'm a little sad over it. My friends just ordered Season 1 of Columbo for a tribute viewing and we are talking of watching either The Cheap Dectective or Murder By Death tonight as a tribute. Been a sad month between him, Wally Boag and Clarice Taylor. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 19:02, June 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Murder by Death is a good choice. For me, outside of Columbo, it was his turn in The Great Race as Max ("Push the button, Max.") Especially his discussion with Jack Lemmon of gender relations ("The eternal struggle takes time, Max.' "What struggle? She's got a can opener!") -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:10, June 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * As one of my best friends just put it, "Something I never heard uttered: 'I hate Peter Falk.'" -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 19:15, June 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Exactly. In fact, I just googled "I hate Peter Falk." Not a *single* hit anywhere, and the Internet is the *land* of hatred for just about anything and everyone! I still need to buy his memoir. It was wonderful, what I read of it, and even better since you can hear his voice doing it. Stuff like Robin and the 7 Hoods is made so much better thanks to him. Basically, he falked our world. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:41, June 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't crediting him would ruin a surprise appearance. In the first three movies the opening credits didn't list anybody in the cast at all (no Muppet performers, no main actors, no cameos). And The Great Muppet Caper is the only of the first three movies (and Follow That Bird) to NOT have images of the celebrity cameos on the poster and initial video release. --Minor muppetz 20:53, June 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, but the press would have been aware in advance, since they have access to the full credits and so on. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:41, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Pictures at an Exhibition
Hi! We've missed you! I love your pictures at the Jim Henson exhibit. They wouldn't let us take pictures in Seattle, and I really wanted a picture of me with Ernie and Bert. I was shocked by how much bigger the "real" ones are compared to my puppets! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:45, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've missed the wiki, but my time has been stretched thin, so I have popped on to read up on stuff, but haven't made the time to sit and play on here. And of course it has changed tons in a couple months, so it is a little daunting trying to figure things out again.  I'll get there, when I have time.  lol.  We weren't allowed to take pictures, but I sweet talked them into it.  I'm hoping when it comes to Peoria I'll be able to get even more pictures with whatever comes here for the tour.  I know its going to be scaled back, since our museum cannot house everything, but I'm hoping that most of the puppets make it here.  It was such a great exhibit, I'm toying with going back.  lol.  -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 15:53, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

Nate's Little Scan
Hi, Nate! Did you ever get to scan Ernie's Little Lie? No rush, but I was just wondering if you were able to get to it. If you're in a show this summer, good luck! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:34, August 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I haven't gotten to it yet. My book pile is growing by leaps and bounds, and I was off most of last week doing the kids theatre camp, so at night I was just drop dead tired. I've got it (somewhere, not sure which pile I put it in), and I will scan it this week. I promise. :) And no shows this summer. I took time off to focus on the camp and directing Sweeney Todd (which goes into production in three weeks. EEK!!) -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 14:02, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Cool! If you're directing, you are in a show! I'll e-mail you some more soon, and you can write back whenever you have time. Have fun! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:25, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Mama Don't Allow
I beat you to it, for once: Cass Elliot. I left out external links though, so you can still have fun with it! -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:50, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh how fun!! I'll have to play on that in a bit. I'm still trying to get all the Nursery Rhyme pages in some decent shape. And just wait til this weekend or next week, I am sitting on a few super duper fun celebrities that aren't on here yet, including Mr. Kotter himself!!! -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 20:16, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Thermos pic
Hey babe -- That Thermos ad pic is cool for the lunchbox page, but I don't know if we need it on Scooby-Doo, Peanuts, etc. They happen to be included in the same ad, but that's just because the Thermos product line also included those other characters. In the same way, the back of 70s Golden Books showed the Sesame characters with Bugs Bunny, etc. Y'know? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:12, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't think of it that way. I just thought it was so bizarre to have that grouping of people on there. All the pages had appropriate pictures, so I'm fine with removing it. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 22:14, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Jim Henson's Fantastic Gift Shop
Hey, Nate! I saw your question for Scott. I just wanted to mention that when I saw it with a friend in Seattle, they had a lot of various Muppet stuff in the gift shop of the museum that was hosting it, but it was stuff that's available in other places, like books, DVD's, and toys. The only stuff that was made for the occasion were some flyers, posters, and some free handouts that you got when you bought your tickets. I'm not sure if every location will be the same, but that's what they did in Seattle. On a side note, I grabbed The World According to Sesame Street, because it's out of print now, and I don't know if Warner Brothers will reissue it! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:50, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * I always get a magnet for every art exhibit and Broadway show that I see. Just something I started a long time ago, and was hoping might continue this time. The poster sounds fun though! I hadn't been excited about seeing it, but now that I know it's just months away I got hopped up again. I think I'm heading up in November so I can do my annual Macy's visit for Christmas at the same time, although the windows have been lame the last two years. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 14:56, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Sesame art
I'm writing to you over here so I wouldn't bother Andrew, but I loved the paintings you told us about, especially the Last Supper ones! There was another version floating around of all Sesame characters (you can see it here), and it looked official, but Scott said it wasn't. -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:22, June 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I remember talking with Scott about those. I just love that kind of stuff, even if it isn't offical, and some of those I put on Andrew's page are very well done. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 21:27, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Singin' in the Rain
Just a brief note (I have a lot I want to do on the Wiki, but like you, I'm one person and I've been dealing with other stuff; plus it's Fathers Day so may watch Zorro with Dad). But the third annual Plaza Classic Film Festival in El Paso happens in August, showing Singin' in the Rain in our historic Plaza Theater on the big screen (the theater, only recently restored after years of neglect and dating back to the days when Lily Langtry performed there, has a balcony and a Mighty Wurlitzer!) And Debbie Reynolds herself, who of course comes from El Paso. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:57, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh how fun! I hardly get to do the film fests and classic screenings around here, but its so much fun. I still am amazed at what local theatres have been saved around here. And I'm also uber jealous over Debbie Reynolds because she just played a nearby casino and I begged my friends to go, but they just mocked me in my love of her. lol -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 23:31, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * You should have called me! Oh yeah, I'd have to fly there first. Anyway, I saw Gene Kelly in 1992 at a local college, where he did an evening of film clips and questions from the audience. I could have stayed there all night, but they had to end it early because of his age. But that's a memory I'll never forget. -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:59, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

The United States of America
Thanks for the new states! All we have left is Missouri! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:50, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's coming. It is on my "to do" list. lol -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 01:59, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * P.S. I thought of you tonight when I popped in a local Goodwill. I found all sorts of fun stuff (including some of the books I added synopis for tonight, a Rowlf Sigma mug, Springbok puzzles, a Muppets 25th Anniversary Happy Meal plush Gonzo, and this crazy Miss Piggy plush from Toy Factory that I think is in a wedding dress). The only thing I didn't find were any Sesame or Muppet records, and I thought of you and chuckled after all the cool stuff I found. So now I will read my The Sesame Street Dictionary tonight, as well as my trade paperback of The Muppet Show Comic Book and jot down all the fun references that might not be on the wiki yet. Which means my to do list is even longer (although I'm pleased that I finally got Jonathan Larson on here, even though the page is still weak.)(plus it was the 2,500th page! WOOT WOOT and HUZZAH!) -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 02:14, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

MC Hammer
Arrgh. You realize you're making me put Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in my Netflix queue again? In order to check the accompanying music video, which I think had Hammer actually dancing with the Creature Shop reptiles, but I'm not certain right now (in contrast to Vanilla Ice). I guess I should be grateful you haven't found a link between Fraggle Rock and Milli Vanilli. Yet! -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:10, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * ROFL. I always see the movie in the five dollar bin at Wal-Mart and just cannot bring myself to get it, Creature Shop involvement or not. Maybe I'll spare you the shame, and go pick it up this weekend and force myself to sit down and watch it *shiver*. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 18:17, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Voice of Fame
Hi, Nate! I made some adjustments to Muppets voiced by celebrities‎. I'm glad you're having fun with it, but at some point it gets a bit too subjective. Definitely Eddie Deezen and Cree Summer weren't used as celebrity voices, compared to the bulk of the examples, and we don't even categorize them as celebrities here, both having been working voice actors for years. Lynne Thigpen might be closer, she was certainly better known at the time, but a) more in a top character actor way and b) Luna definitely wasn't an example of stunt casting. Basically, it runs the risk of turning into a full duplicate of Category:Muppet Voice Actors (Hey! Shouldn't Marilyn Sokol count? She's a celebrity to me! etc.) minus probably the songwriters and the Canadians, and someone could make an argument for them. I may work up a definition, examples where the use of the celebrity's voice is precisely because they were a celebrity (either as stunt casting, or say Rita Moreno being generous enough to just stop by the recording studio and do some Muppets), and not because a working actor auditioned for the part or was cast for their voice in general. *Maybe* a dispensation in obvious "before they were stars" cases (we don't really have any for that so far). Does that make sense? If need be, I may reiterate it on the talk page, but as you know, I normally don't like to over-regulate the "just for fun" pages. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:09, June 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * P.S. Don't forget Spike Milligan voicing that Australian Muppet. And Category talk:Creature Shop Movie Actors needs love! -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:12, June 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * You brought up all the things that went through my head as I was playing with it. I was going to bring it up on a talk page to see if the article was even really needed, because it is so close to the Voice Actors Category. I especially began to wondering when it came to Marilyn, who I wanted to add, but the same thoughts as you had with Eddie Deezen and Cree Summer crept in. I've been putting off the Creature Shop Movie Actors page too, because its gonna be a big fun project when I have a weekend to just play online. I'm also toying with some suggestions on the Celebrity category as well. I need to be more people -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 16:31, June 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah. I have a lot on my plate myself, but I may try doing some subdividing later on: Celebrities voicing their own caricature/spoof (which, especially on Sesame in recent years, is a surprise given the past default was just have a Muppeteer do an impression or keep them silent); celebrities basically treated as guest star voices (reflected in billing or promotion: the Bear voices, Mel Brooks in VMX, "And Sally Kellerman as Miss Finch"); celebrities doing a Muppet voice tangentially to their guest appearance, i.e. either not really a character of their own or the Muppet turns into the guest star (DeNiro, Black, Danson; needs a better label though) and what one might term the uncredited cameos/walk-ons, celebs who just did a quick voice as a favor or for fun (Spike Milligan as the Aussie, Rita Moreno, if we pinpoint the TMS episode where Christopher Reeve voiced a fireman or something). That covers just about everything but the Little Mermaid pilot, which I'm not sure fits there anyway (maybe as a trivia note). I think that would both establish boundaries but also make the list more fun if one's looking for something specific. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:01, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, pal. Do you own this? I'd love to get a better scan of the cover and see if the artist is credited. —Scott ( talk ) 17:30, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Nate! Have you seen this clip? I thought you'd enjoy it. -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:05, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Well, thanks to your suggestion, we now have NBC Pipes. I'm with you; I could have sworn I read about them on here, but maybe I've known about them for so long that I just figured they'd be here. I'm going to nominate it for Quality Status. -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:24, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Paris Hilton
Hey, Nate! I tried to add Paris Hilton's official website to her page, but the wiki wouldn't let me, because it thinks it's spam. I guess the wiki doesn't like her. -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:49, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * The wiki isn't the only one. lol. I tried to add it back when I created the page, and it wouldn't take it either. I told Danny about it, but I'm sure the tech guys don't consider that a major issue. It kind of amuses me that it won't accept her page. lol -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 15:14, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, let me know if they fix it. Muppet Wiki readers shouldn't be deprived of a link to her site.
 * Also (and more seriously), I replied on Talk: The Ed Sullivan Show. Nice picture! According to IMDb, that was the May 26, 1968 show, in case that helps you find another copy. -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:20, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Creature Actors
Ugh. Ever since I got my computer back, IE 8 has a tendency, not always but often, to freeze up when I'm editing a Wiki page. And I keep forgetting and have to switch to Mozilla (which annoys me for many reasons, including red underlining "misspelled" words in Wiki, like all user names and code). I had it more than half done too. I'll wait, since sometimes it does unfreeze (after a *long* wait) but otherwise, I'll restart. I should get to it today, though! -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:55, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've been putting it off too. I've been making mental notes as I see things, but I haven't focused much on it yet. Can't wait to see what you come up with. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 19:21, June 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yay, it *finally* unfroze. (That gives you an idea of how long this problem lasts). So to be safe, I copied the draft text back into a word file and I'm reposting in Mozilla. Expect it soonish! Now's a good time since there aren't very many active questions (and most are minor or "nobody knows, maybe we'll find out later" stuff), though I'm not sure if it's the best time to be sure that Danny and Scott see. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:09, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

The Lion King
In a reaction to this revert: shouldn't Eric-Jan Lens be removed from the list as well? It gives people (including me) the idea that foreign dubbing is accepted as a connection as well. Or maybe it's a good idea to add the general protocol to the article's code, so people read it as soon as they try to add names? Caudex Rax 15:21, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thats live theatre done by a puppeteer. A little different then just the dub artists. Andrew (Aleal) would be a good one to talk to about it. He is one of the admins here who works hard to set protocol. Pretty much anyone who just does dub work on a film isn't really considered a connection, but someone whose created (or performs) a Muppet character (as in the case with Eric, is a connection. -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 17:07, June 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah. We try not to overlode code on an article, but I can work up a "Connections Guidelines" page if it's needed. It's fairly simple, based on removes. Dubbing is neat to note on the actor's article (I love it in fact) but they weren't really a direct participant. This first arose particularly at first when it came to adding someone for dubbing an actor in a production somehow connected to the subject, like the Spanish voice of whoever plays Chloe in Smallville to Superman. That's too far removed, and it's just easier to apply it to all dubbing, animation included. However, an actual original production, in any language, is fair game. We don't count Tor Isedal as a connection for dubbing Winnie the Pooh (we mention it on his page), but we do count him for appearing in several Ingmar Bergman films (we don't count anybody who dubbed Ingmar Bergman films in other tongues as a connection either, though Mona Marshall has done so in English; I think the one English dub cheat we have is on Godzilla, which is kind of different anyway). We count all stage puppeteers/actors in the stage version of The Lion King, or international versions of Avenue Q. But if someone filmed Avenue Q, then it was dubbed in Polish and one of the voices happened to have voiced Elmo at some point, that wouldn't be a true connection.
 * Every now and then, if something crops up in an unusual way, it might work as trivia. Example: By sheer coincidence, at least three of the actresses who dubbed Ethyl Phillips on Dinosaurs, in three different languages, all dubbed Estelle Getty on The Golden Girls. That's surprising and kind of nifty and not something that can just be found on the actors' pages. It may take some handling to figure it out, but it's basically not far from our rule on who counts as a celebrity here: those who directly worked with the Muppets. So to count as a connection, you had to directly be involved in some project (film, radio, live stage), language not an issue there, but you don't get credit for dubbing, or for say translating a Mickey Mouse book into Japanese (star in an original authorized Mickey Mouse children's TV show in Japan? That's direct and counts). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:05, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Lip-Locking Muppets
Hiya! Dunno if you're including Muppet-on-Muppet kissing, but here's a shot for ya. Also, there's a shot of Kermit and Linda Ronstadt that I could grab if you'd like to add it to your collection. --Justin 04:11, June 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I love that gallery! Is that the start of a new page? I'll see if I can find any more. —Scott ( talk ) 05:04, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * Well I made the screen grab of Betty White, because that moment still makes me giggle and smile. Then I realized that I have seen more and more celebrities kissing the Muppets in pictures, and I just thought, for my own amusement, that I'd start a gallery of kisses with the Muppets. If we want to turn it into an article we can. I have no objections at all. And thanks Justin. I love the picture and might add it, even though I was leaning towards people and Muppet lip locks. lol -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 14:56, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Macca and the Muppets
Hey, Nate! I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to ask about the Paul McCartney special on the record forum that I belong to. We've got tons of Beatles fans on there, as well as some people who live in the UK, so I hope somebody will know something. Thanks for telling us about it! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:16, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks Ken! I just stumbled on it looking for information about Jim and Kermit appearing on Soul Train (which I still haven't unearthed anything but a picture that doesn't look like backstage of Soul Train to me. Do people there know a lot about music television shows? -- <font color="Purple">Nate (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 15:12, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Sing Yourself Siller at the Movies wiki
Hi i granted you those rights in Sing yourself Sillier at the Movies wiki so would you like to contribute there?--Leaker 23:55, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Doctor Roosevelt Franklin Image
Hi there. I'm just curious as to why you deleted my picture of Roosevelt Franklin from the book Muppets in My Neighborhood and replaced it with one of your own. Was there something wrong with my photo? Just wondering, especially since I'm hoping to contribute more photos in the furture, and I don't want to see them all get replaced.

(edit) Now that I've added my image here, I'm able to compare it with your image (near the bottom of the page), and I can definitely see some differences -- yours is cropped somewhat to remove the "Roosevelt Franklin, Doctor" text and to give more of a "close-up" of the character (cutting off the end of the stethoscope and parts of the green scale that's next to him), while my image was simply a scan of the page to show how it actually appeared in the book. Your image is also lighter than mine (no doubt due to different types of scanners).

So I guess my real question is, what can I do to avoid having my images deleted and replaced like this in the future? Can you possibly give me a brief "do's and don'ts" of wiki photo contributing?
