Possible "Labyrinth" TV Series in the Works!

Giantfreakinrobot.com is reporting that a TV series set in the world of Labyrinth is being developed.

According to their "trusted and proven" sources, the Henson Company is developing a TV series based on the classic 1986 film. 

Their sources also made sure to point out that the previously announced big screen sequel is also still on the way as well. 

I'd consider this a rumor until more info is released from official channels, but it would very to cool to see the world of Labyrinth expanded. 

We'll keep you posted if any new info is released. 

Coming Soon: KidRobot Fozzie Plush!

KidRobot has not one, but two Fozzie plush on  the way - a 7.5" "Phunny" and a 16" plush. 

Kermit's pal Fozzie is the greatest—and only—stand-up bear in show business! Add some cuddles and chuckles to your life with these Fozzie Bear plush. He’s the perfect couch sidekick whether you want to host a talk show or just hibernate for a bit.

Muppets Mayhem Easter Eggs: Track 10!

The Muppets Mayhem is filled with many hidden and not so hidden Easter eggs for fans to discover. 

There are so many in fact that we're going track by track (episode by episode) to help you spot them.

Track 10: "We Will Rock You"

The cold opens beings with "Previously on" which is actually a new cold open before cutting to clips and a recap of the series.

There a callback to Nora's misunderstanding to Kiss's "Rock N Roll All Night"

Zoot exhibits his photos at The Mallory Gallery a reference to The Great Muppet Caper.

Dr. Teeth and Penny take a trip on the "Jalapeno Princess" which is actually the dry locked tourist attraction, The Queen Mary. 

At his TEDTalk, Lips is dressed in jeans and a black turtle neck similar to Steve Jobs. 

The band "Amplifies" their bus in an homage to Mad Max Fury Road.

The cover of the actual Electric Mayhem album is shown at the record store.

The band uses a gospel choir for their Hollywood Bowl, similar to them using one during The Muppets Take The Bowl and O2 shows.

Zoot calls attention to a photo in the bus of band "taking Manhattan" a refence to The Muppets Take Manhattan.

With the Mayhem bus, the Mallory Gallory and Zoot's "Manhattan" taking photo, this episode references all three original Muppet movies. 

The Mayhem's bus from The Muppet Movie returns when they finally looks in the shack's garage. 

However, this is NOT the original bus. It's a recreation, as sadly, the original caught fire and was destroyed shortly after being used in 2011's The Muppets.

You can tell this is not the original bus because the one used in The Muppet Movie had 4 windows on each said while the used in The Muppets Mayhem has 5. As such the paintings are slightly different as well. 

In the closing shot, Zoot says "This one's for Kermit."

Cameos:

Kristen Schaal as Jenny, Floyd's assistant

Series writer Hannah Friedman as a Fersurlian

(Help needed with the names of these two comedic actors) as the Art Critics

Statler and Waldorf as themselves

. 

And I'm sure there are even more hidden cast & crew photos in the bus.

And that brings us to the end of the series (so far). Hopefully The Muppets Mayhem will renewed and we'll be able to share even more Easter eggs.

The Muppets Mayhem is now streaming only on Disney+.

RIP Paul Reubens (1952 - 2023)

Sad news as Paul Reubens, otherwise known as Pee-wee Herman, has died.

He was best known for creating the hit Saturday morning series Pee-wee's Playhouse that ran on CBS along side Muppet Babies from 1986-1990 and for the feature film's Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Big Top Peewee and Pee-wee's Big Holiday.

In 1985, he was paired with Robin for Muppet Magazine's "The Second Great Muppet Look-Alike Contest." The following year he received an "Honorary Muppet Award" in the magazine's 14 issue.

In 1987, Reubans appeared as Pee-Wee in cover story in the Winter issue. Below is his interview with Kermit.

Reubens filmed an insert for Sesame Street in 1987 as Pee-wee reciting his own version of the alphabet. He then appeared in the first celebrity version of "Put Down The Duckie." 

A decade later Reubens played Professor Spatz in Henson's Creature Shop film Buddy.

His iconic dance to "Tequila" in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure was even parodied by Kermit for a Muppet Magazine centerfold. 

Paul Reubens was 70.
