Muppet Retro Reviews is the latest article series on The Muppet Mindset.

Contributor Lucas Ervin took us on a fantastic ride through 100 different classic clips from The Muppet Show in 100 days as a countdown to November 23, 2011 when The Muppets movie hit theaters in the United States. Each week spotlighted a different theme and features seven different clips--one for each day of that week.
One of our most frequent contributors and our greatest (and only) unpaid intern, Lisa Alexander, provided us with nearly 20 weeks of fantastic quotes and jokes from Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock in her series Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations Presented by Lisa "the Intern" Alexander. Due to scheduling conflicts, Lisa has been unable to continue her Quotations, but there is plenty of Fraggle goodness to enjoy in the weeks below!
(Kind of) Weekly Muppet Quotes by Casey Daron took Lisa the Intern's idea for Fraggle Rock quotes and took it to the Muppet world. In his biweekly posts, Casey collects several quotes from Muppet productions and Muppet characters and puts them out there for all of us to enjoy. He started off without a set theme, but now the quotes feature spotlights on specific Muppet characters or duos such as Gonzo and Rizzo or Floyd Pepper.

In his first, and currently longest, series, "?" with Jarrod Fairclough, frequent contributor Jarrod Fairclough provided us with some wonderful questions that a lot of Muppet fans always wanted to ask, but never knew who to ask or why to ask them. Jarrod solved this problem with some wonderful Muppet celebrity guests including Sesame Street artist Joe Mathieu, Muppet writer Jim Lewis, and Muppeteer Bill Barretta.


A spin-off of our popular Weekly Muppet Wednesdays series, Weekly Muppeteer Wednesdays are a collection of Muppet performer profiles started by contributor Tom Stroud. Each profile features a different Muppeteer and spotlights their contributions to the Muppet world, notable characters, and back-stories.

Muppet Maestros is a series by frequent contributor Hilarie Mukavitz who looks at influential names in the world of music and explains how she never would have known of them if it weren't for the Muppets. How many of us can say we would have any idea who Victor Borge is without Muppets? 
The Muppet Mindset Presents... How To... is a series of articles started way back in 2010 when Lisa the Intern wrote an article about How To... Train Your Dog to Be Like Sprocket. The series continued briefly later that year when James Carroll made an amazing How To... Draw Pepe in 10 Easy Steps piece using Flash. The series was revived in 2012 by Maxwell Jessop whose articles so far have included How To... Make Friends with a Rat and How To... Become a Superhero.


In September, 2010, one year after Ryan Dosier started this website, we featured The Muppet Mindset's One Year Anniversary Celebration with three great posts. The first featured birthday wishes from Muppet fans on Facebook, Twitter, and from frequent contributors to The Muppet Mindset. The second post was an incredible collection of congratulatory remarks from Muppet royalty including Pepe the King Prawn, Matt Vogel, ToughPigs.com's Joe Hennes and Ryan Roe, and many more. The final day was Ryan Dosier's day to thank everyone for everything and ramble on for far too long--which is what he tends to do every day.
The Diary of an Obsessed Muppet Fan was Ryan Dosier's noble and unrealized goal to watch something Muppety every week and write about them in a diary that he didn't love anymore. The plan was to go in chronological order, starting with The Muppet Show Season 1, but by the time he got to Rocky Mountain Holiday, he sort of gave up. Thankfully, there's plenty of great stuff to read from what Ryan did get through!
In 2010, Ryan Dosier and family traveled to Orlando, Florida to visit the greatest place on Earth. He chronicled this experience and all the Muppety happenings in The Muppet Mindset Goes to Walt Disney World. Part 1 follows Ryan through the Magic Kingdom and Epcot, while Part 2 goes to Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, plus Downtown Disney and other locales.

Another series by Ryan Dosier, Muppets on Your iPhone featured reviews of applications from iTunes featuring the Muppets of Sesame Street and one featuring Animal.
The British Correspondent, known for his cruelties to Ryan's cat, penned his first continuing series with It's Not Easy Being Mean, a collection of profiles on the great villains in the world of the Muppets. From Doc Hopper all the way to The Muppet Show Comic Book's Kismet the Toad, The British Correspondent explains the Muppet bad guys better than anyone.
Another series from Lisa the Intern, The Epic CD-ROM Family Adventure, takes us on a journey as Lisa plays through the 1996 computer game for Muppet Treasure Island. Unfortunately, she never finished, and the world may never know what happened to Long John Silver.
