Time Piece is a film Henson made in the 60s, I believe.  I know it can be
seen at the Museum of TV and Radio.  Didn't have anything to do with Muppets
as far as I know, he was experimenting with film as a media.

   The opinion in my high school two days after Jim Henson died (snif) was 
that he & Mel Blanc & Dr. Seuss had teamed up and were driving God crazy by
being so incredibly brilliant and funny all over the place.
   The opinion the day after he died was "WHAT????" because only about 1/4 
of us had heard... all we knew was that there had been a thunderstorm of 
omen quality that night.

Sid and Marty Krofft Puppets have been in operation since the 1960's.
They are best known for two kinds of things:
1) Elaborate marionette shows at theme parks (not Disney), especially
caricature puppets of famous entertainers.
2) Children's television programs with full-body puppets, i.e. where
a person wears a suit/costume completely covering them.  I haven't
seen any of their shows for a very long time; way back when, they did
"H.R. Pufnstuf" and "Lidsville".  The following is complete
speculation on my part, but they might have created the characters
for the MacDonald's commercials; it's the sort of thing they do.

They're based down south somewhere, I think; Atlanta?

By the way, the guy that did Sweetums' voice in The Frog Prince
was Carl Banas.  You can also hear him as the voice of the
Head Elf in the classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

I thought that some of you might be interested in this book which I
got out of the library yesterday. It isn't our usual muppography type 
stuff (BTW-person who posted about recently purchased spiral songbook,
you never gave its title, WHAT is it?). I doubt muppeteers are even 
mentioned...
The book next to me is called _"Sesame Street" Revisited_, 1975, 
SBN:  87154-207-2. 
While Ses St was being developed, ETS (aaaahhhh, controlers of all 
life on earth!) ran tests on it. This book is a critique of these 
as well as how the show took off and whether it fulfilled its mission.
("to promote the intellectual and cultural growth of preschoolers, 
particularly disadvantaged preschoolers," Joan Cooney, CTW's pres 
at the time, in her proposal) I'm only on p.13 or so, but it seems
like a really neat book! It's the type of analysis of the show
that I only dreamed existed.

For those of you that are die-hard alt.tv.muppets, you may be familiar  
with the following question that I like to ask every now and again (just  
in case there are new muppeteers).

Is the muppet show still on TV, and if so, when and what channel?

Have these been out of print that long?  I'll have to check my laser
disk catalogs and see if they are still available.  Now, if the
Muppet Show, and other Muppet specials are released, then that would
be great.

Aiigh (forgive me Jim), you're right. It was Robin that sung the song. I kept
thinking of Kermit since he was trying to open the cage from the outside.
Obviously time to see the show again.

I took at stroll up to HMV during my lunch break and checked out the new
"Prisoner" releases.

In addition to the 4 episode tape mentioned by another poster (price 12.99),
ITC have released a 6 tape box set of *all* the episodes.  This comes with
a documentary called "Best Of The Prisoner" (not the same as "The Companion")
and the "alternative" version of "The Chimes Of Big Ben".  Note that the
"Chimes" version on the 12.99 cassette is the normal version, somewhat
confusingly, referred to as the "original version". This is confusing because
the "alternative" version is, in fact, the original version since it pre-dates
the normal version. Got it?

Anyway, the box set is arranged so the spines of the 6 tapes make a picture
of a penny-farthing and retails at about 50 pounds.

Has anyone actually purchased this set?  If so, they could confirm/deny
the above info, since I simply got it off the box.

A friend told me of the "companion" video - I just wondered exactly
what it is? Is it the documentary shown at the end of the UK channel 4
showing in 1984?

All 17 regular episodes are available on laser, but they are no better
quality than VHS tapes.  The list price for each is $19.95 as I recall,
but I believe it has been out of print this year.  You can't do
stop-frame on every single frame and it does not have stereo (neither
did the original).  I'm waiting for something better, like a "director's
cut" or something.

No can do that, son - can't you put them on an ftp site or something?
(Or even post them...)
