#muppets solid foam

[groovycat18]

So, on a whim, I decided to re-read Muppet Snow White, and afterward, went to the Muppet Wiki to see what the different covers for the comic book issues looked like, when I came upon this note:

“Jesse Blaze Snyder [one of the writers for the comic] originally wanted to cast Beard [from Jim Henson Hour] as the replacement Dopey, in addition to including cameos by many other Jim Henson Hour characters, but was later told he couldn’t use them (though Beard does pop up at the night club in issue #3)”

In the actual comic book, Rowlf the Dog was made the replacement Dopey of the Seven Dwarfs and the only reference to Jim Henson Hour was someone suggesting the Seven Dwarfs be renamed Solid Foam, the name of the band in JHH.

The very fact that Snyder wanted to include such an obscure bunch of characters into the Muppet Snow White comic excited me a lot, and the fact that his idea was shot down irritates me a lot, too.

I mean, just what characters would’ve had cameos in MSW? Leon the Lizard? Vicki? Zondra? Ubu? DIGIT?! (I know a lot of Muppet fans who are familiar with JHH would’ve LOVED to see him, at least) Clifford does have a cameo in the comic, but only as his shade-less Muppets Tonight self (which I’m not a very big fan of, to be honest)

Though, personally, I don’t know if Beard would’ve been the best choice to add to the Seven Dwarfs. I mean, he played guitar, which was what Janice, or Happy as she was called in MSW, did. What would’ve been their instrumental roles in the band had Beard actually been the new recruit? Would Janice keep her instrument or be moved to something else, allowing Beard to take the role? It’s pretty hard to say.

I think if Snyder was going to choose anyone from Solid Foam to be in the Seven Dwarfs, it probably should've been Digit. I mean, Digit played keyboard, so he could’ve taken Dr. Teeth’s role in the instrumental part of the band, allowing the good doctor to take the role of lead vocals, like he did in the actual comic when Rowlf joined.

But that’s just my thoughts on this information, and I just wanted to share this fact in here for anyone who would care.

To the Jim Henson Hour fans: I think we were robbed.

[sacredglitch]

actually rewatching TJHH ep 8 Videotape and I only noticed now that during the montage part of the music video Solid Foam made, fucking Digit turns his body/head 180°

100% his party trick to the Muppet family no doubt

[things-ford-pines-missed]

Ford missed all the original airings of episodes of The Jim Henson Hour. For context, this was one of the last shows that Jim Henson ever made in his lifetime with the Muppets. A total of twelve episodes were made. Nine of the twelve episodes aired in the show's original run: April 14 through July 30, 1989. Because the show was cancelled. Two of the remaining episodes aired on Nickelodeon as specials in 1992 and 1993, and the last one never aired in the U.S.

I say this because there are two Muppets from the show that I think Ford would at least be fascinated by. One is Waldo C. Graphic, a computer-generated Muppet that was performed in real time (which you can see how he worked in one of those episodes that first aired on Nickelodeon). The second is Digit, a "semi-robotic person" (his words) who is the Technical Director of the show (despite his malfunctions) and also the keyboard player in a band called Solid Foam.

STARES. love whne people infodump in our inbox/on our posts it's so silly <3

FICTIONAL CHARACTER ASK: JANICE

Asked by @princesssarisa 

@softlytowardthesun @themousefromfantasyland @moonbeamelf @fragglesesamemuppetz2 @angelixgutz @the-blue-fairie @thealmightyemprex @amalthea9 

Favorite Thing About Them: She is a genuinelly sensitive, sweet, kind and empathetic person who has the ability to easily make friends and a competent performer in the fields of music and acting who greatly values team work rather than competing for attention with her colleagues.

Least Favorite Thing About Them: How the writers of the 2015 ABC sitcom the muppets. portrayed Janice as so over the top ditzy that she acted passive and with no opinions or desires of her own while the male characters Sam the Eagle, Floyd Pepper and Dr Teeth treated her as an object of dispute wich they were entitled to have as a romantic partner.

Three Things I Have In Common With Them:

* I have a tambourine;

* I love colorfull clothes made of light fabric;

* I love rock and roll music;

Three Things I Don’t Have In Common With Them:

* I’m not a member of a band;

* I’m not as chill as she is;

* I don’t have long blonde hair;

Favorite Line:

From the movie The Great Muppet Caper:

“…and I said, ‘Look mother, it’s my life o-kay? And if I want to live on a beach and walk around naked, I–”

From the movie The Muppets Take Manhattan:

"So I told him 'Look, buddy, I don't take my clothes off for anybody, even if it is artistic’”

From the comic Muppet King Arthur, where she played the humourous and witty Lady of the Lake:

“Call me Janice. That was my name before I, like, became one with nature”.

“Rock never hurt anyone. Well, except for scissors. Poor scissors”.

From the comic Muppet Robin Hood, where she plays the healer Willa Scarlet (a genderbent Will Scarlet):

“Oh yeah, like, going back to nature is sooo real, man, fer sure. You’ll like dig it, totally! These trees can teach us lessons, man”.

From the comic Muppet Peter Pan, where she played the role of Wendy Darling:

“Like, I’m detecting some rilly unresolved anger issues, fer sure”...

“A nice fruit salad is very cleansing for the system”.

“It never hurts to try to be, like, totally diplomatic and make friends!”

“I’m ready to grow up, now. Yeah, I even know what I want to do when I grow up! I wanna Rock and Roll!”

“Hey, dad, at least it’s, like, totally american... fer sure!”

From the comic Muppet Snow White, where she played the dwarf Happy:

“You’re like my favorite fairytale character. Next to Wendy from Muppet Peter  Pan”.

brOTP: Rowlf the Dog, Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Animal, Bean Bunny, Scooter, Skeeter, Miss Piggy, Annie Sue Pig, Spamela Hamderson, Zondra, Darci, Charlie (Solid Foam's Drummer), Dolores (Trumpet Girl), Wanda.

OTP: Skeeter, Zoot, Floyd Pepper.

nOTP: Dr Teeth, Lips, Sam the Eagle.

Random Headcanon: She was born in San Francisco, and in one side of her family she has lebanese heritage, wich is aparent in her lips, eyes and olive skin tone, while on the other side she has german-irish heritage, wich is aparent in her blonde hair.

Unpopular Opinion: Her toddler design with open eyes and already big lips in 1984's Muppet Babies looks pretty unsetling. The illustrations for the Muppet Kids books reached a better natural look for a young Janice, with more subtle lipstick around her lips and her characteristic closed eyes.

Song I Associate With Them:

Black Bird

Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover

With A Little Help from My Friends

Earth Song

It's In Hiss Kiss

Rockin All Around the World

Favorite Picture of Them:

In her early concept sketch drawing, when she was originally idealized as an androgynus male identified character inspired by Mick Jagger

As a preteen alongside Skeeter and Miss Piggy in two illustrations of the Muppet Kids picture book New Girl In Town

Alongside fellow Valley Girl Moon Zappa, actress and daughter of rock musician Frank Zappa

In her beautifull tye-die dress portraying Wendy Darling in the comic Muppet Peter Pan (alongside Scooter as John Darling, Bean Bunny as Michael Darling, Kermit the Frog as Peter Pan and Miss Piggy as Piggytink)

Portrayed in a gala dress by Muppet Peter Pan artist @amymebberson

Another art by @amymebberson portraying her and Skeeter with buttons in support of Miss Piggy

With Floyd Pepper and Elton John

Just chilling out

[tallohallo]

As far as favorite Muppets go, I love all the Electric Mayhem and also Gonzo. If more obscure options are allowed, then also Trumpet Girl, Solid Foam Drummer, Digit, Lindbergh, Waldo C Graphic, Vicki Jim Henson Hour, and that one pink bird from that one promo pic for The Jim Henson Hour that only showed up in background monitors with Lindbergh and in the background of a few skits.

oh awesome picks!!! I forgot about Waldo c graphic until now lol.

Wishes for Muppets Mayhem Season 2?

Anything you want to see happen or expanded on in another season of the series?

Here are my personal wishes:

1. Seeing more of the band’s family members, such as Floyd parents, Janice’s twin sister, and Zoot’s great aunt.

2. Episodes focused on Lips and Zoot, maybe backstory episodes that explain how they each joined the band. I know I’d want to see Lips’ story!

and 3. I want Solid Foam, or Clifford or Digit at least, to make cameos! Or have the band be referenced at some point! I mean, they referenced the Riverbottom Nightmare Gang and the Feebles, so why not them?

What would you want to see in a new season, my fellow Mayheads?

[bfilm]

Solid Foam was the band from the MuppeTelevision segments of The Jim Henson Hour, consisting of Beard on guitar, Flash on saxophone, Clifford on bass, Digit on keyboards and an unnamed female drummer. When performing with Smokey Robinson in episode 7, Kermit referred to them as "the house band." This was redubbed to "Solid Foam" before the episode aired.
