Doozers Get a Second Season!

Hulu announced yesterday that The Jim Henson Company's animated Fraggle Rock spin-off Doozers has been given a second season pick up. 

The first season has been streaming on Hulu's Kids experience as well on tv network Sprout.

Halle Stanford, EVP of children’s entertainment at The Jim Henson Company said "Doozers has developed an enthusiastic fan base on Hulu, and they’ll soon be back to entertain curious pre-schoolers with bigger stakes adventures and more exciting inventions."

“Our Pod Squad will be doing what they do best – using their brain power, ingenuity and enthusiasm to solve any problem small or large. They’ll do everything from saving Doozer Creek from an impending avalanche to finding a way to save a butterfly cocoon that’s fallen from its safe haven.
“Our Doozers will inspire their fans to put their own ideas into action and have a fantastic time while do-do-doing it.”

The series also airs on German pubcaster KiKA, Video On Demand 365 in the UK, France Televisions and RTVE for Clan in Spain.

No date for when the new episodes will begin streaming or airing was given. 

Adorkable Rachel Takes The Bowl!

I was incredibly fortunate to attend two performances of The Muppets Take The Bowl this past weekend.  

The first night of the show I was joined by good friends Rachel Herrick and Lucas Ervin, both of whom I've known for a long time though this was the our first time meeting in person!

As you'll see, the show had it all. Take it away Rachel...

Muppet Thought of the Week - Kermit the Frog & Fozzie Bear!

A new "Muppet Thought of the Week" appeared yesterday featuring Kermit the Frog & Fozzie Bear!

They try to answer that age old question, "What do you get when you cross The Muppets with The Hollywood Bowl?"

I think you'll be "Bowled over" by the answer! 

Matt Vogel's Kermit is definitely getting better. 

The Muppets Take the Bowl this weekend September 8, 9, and 10 at The Hollywood Bowl.

Adorkable Rachel Visits Seattle's Jim Henson Exhibit!

Our good friend Rachel is back with another "Muppet Monday" video (yes, we know it's
Tuesday).

Today, she shares with us her visit to the Jim Henson Exhibit in Seattle!

If things look a little familiar, it's because this is the traveling version of the Museum of the Moving Image's Jim Henson Exhibition.

Happy La-Bo Day!

Happy Labor Day or rather "La-Bo" Day. 

Today we salute The Muppets second custodian, handyman, and sometime taxi driver, Beauregard!

Uncle Deadly & The Last Muppet Thought for The Week!

Each day this week The Muppets have released a new "Muppet Thought of the Week."

This was probably done to both build momentum off the release of the long delayed "new" Kermit's debut and to keep people's attention from dissecting it too much. 

Well, today is no different. It may be Friday, they may have released a month's of "weeks" videos already, but today we have the final "thought" for the week. 

But, BEFORE we show you the newest video, if you missed any of them there's a great running gag with Uncle Deadly that's not to missed. 

So join me in recapping this week's Muppet thoughts of the week...

And now this week's final "Muppet Thought of the Week":

I still haven't gotten used to Matt Vogel's Kermit, but his Floyd, Lew Zealand and especially Uncle Deadly are all amazing on point.

Uncle Deadly's intro were all obviously previously reused, but changing them up in this way was exactly what us Muppet fans needed. Uncle Deadly may not have been set up as the focal point for these videos but he (and Matt) definitely stole the show!

Herry Monster Gets New Performer!

Sesame Street uploaded a new #ShareTheLaughter challenge video featuring Herry Monster yesterday. What makes it special is it marks the debut of Peter Linz as Herry!


Not only is it the first time we get to hear Peter performing Harry, it was his first recorded piece as the furry blue monster.

That makes two recasts making their debut this week.

Here's a few video of Herry over the years:

I think you'll agree Peter absolutely knocks it out of the park, Jerry Nelson would be proud!
