Happy New Year! The announcement on this week’s show is that, there isn’t going to BE a show today. I was hoping to have the big 2010 Year In Review special ready to go, but we haven’t recorded it yet. And next week I’ll be in WDW for marathon weekend. No I’m not running; don’t be silly.
So don’t worry, The MuppetCast isn’t going anywhere. In fact, I see big things happening in 2011, so stay tuned! We’ll see you soon.
Have a great week!

I can’t believe I forgot to say this on the show, but Happy Birthday to Caroll Spinney! Today, December 26, is the man who performs Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch’s birthday. Oscar probably won’t sing Happy Birthday. Big Bird will just give him seeds. Poor guy.
This is the final episode of the 2010 Christmas season, and in fact the final episode of this year. Kind of sad, but there are some wonderful things just around the corner for Muppet fans, so stay tuned! (more…)
Time for a little Midweek MuppetCast Christmas cheer! Enjoy these special Muppet Christmas tunes, and extra-special Muppet Christmas Carol bonus features.
Merry Christmas!

So few shows left in 2010…where did the time go? This week Ryan Dosier from The Muppet Mindset provides our feature segment where he analyzes the possible celebrity cameos in the new Muppet film currently being shot. Thanks Ryan! (more…)

This week I’m joined by Ryan Dosier, Ryan Roe, and Joe Hennes (from The Muppet Mindset and ToughPigs.com) as we cover the news and generally do whatever it is we do around here. Enjoy!
Nicholas Lemon also joins me as we discuss his exciting upcoming puppet performance of his famous “Weird Al” medley!
By the way, the outtakes at the very end of the show are (I think) very funny, but probably not appropriate for the kiddies. I put them after the closing song, but just giving you fair warning. (more…)
