Episode 209 - The Ghost of Faffner Hall - Season 1, Episodes 4-6 (1989)

Hey kid, do you want to learn about music? Have we sort of got a show for you that kind of half teaches you about music, as long as your main area of interest is late 80s British pop artists! We're watching more Faffner ok? What else do you want from me! Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch! Kermitment has a Patreon!

The Muppet Babies have been babies for 6 years, which is chilling to think about. Even more chilling is that we must bear witness to their horrible antics. That's right it's season 6 of Muppet Babies and we must be having fun cause this is one of our longest episodes ever! Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch!

And so we leave behind The Jim Henson Hour, a deeply personal project of Jim's and the culmination of a life's work (for better and worse), and turn now to The Ghost of Faffner Hall, a strange grotesquerie with dubious scholarly merit that Jim glanced at once maybe. And we're making Tough Pig's Anthony Strand come along with us! Strap in everyone, it's a long stretch of this and Muppet Babies for like half of this year!

All good(?) things must come to an end, and so too must The Jim Henson Hour. We watched the final, mostly unaired episode of this weird, fun, bad, good, sort of miracle of a show and we brought along the first guest we ever had on Kermitment, biographer Brian Jay Jones!  Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch!

The Muppet Show is back! But is it back? And if it is back is it back-back or just back? We have the answer to none of these questions in more in this very special skip-forward episode of Kermitment! If that description wasn't clear enough, this is our breakdown of the new Muppet Show special starring Sabrina Carpenter! And also we don't know if it's a special, or a pilot, or the first epiosde of a new season of the Muppet Show! It's all very confusing but exciting!

Our tour of Tough Pigs co-owners reaches its conclusion as we talk to the most very far away one of them all: Jarrod Fairclough! He's so far away, it was the next day when we talked to him. And talk to him we did, about a little epiosde of Jim Henson Hour called "Secrets of the Muppets." Did we already know all the secrets? Sure. But we didn't know Jojo, and now we do!

Another Jim Henson Hour ep, another Tough Pigs' co-owner! This week we're joined by Ryan Roe to talk about what might just be an actually good epiosde of this weird-ass show!

Kermitment enters 2026 the same way it entered 2024: By having Tough Pigs' own Joe Hennes on to talk about a particularly misguided Henson project where a ragtag team of Muppets pretend to run a TV station!

We've been yapping at you about frogs, Fraggles, and sexy-ass pigs for 200 episodes! Can you believe it?! This week, we talk about one of our favorite topics: ourselves! Plus, we watched I Am Big Bird so we'd at least have the veneer of talking about something Muppet-y.  Thank you all so much for listening! We can't wait to dive into the next 200 episodes of this madness! Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch! Kermitment has a Patreon!
