The float just appeared on CBS (almost missed it because I was channel hopping - pun partially intended :P), which means that we'll probably see it on NBC shortly - that's been the trend with the broadcast thus far.

Thanks for the response. I've actually already came across that one, and have a mpg of it. Admittedly, it's quite a bit easier to track down. :P The Oscar segment looks to be one filmed on location, rather than a studio-based on like the Grover segment. Unfortunately, I've only seen it...

Segment Search (Longshot): Oscar plays Japanese drums Hi everyone. I was wondering if someone might be able to help me out. I recently saw, in a presentation, a video clip of Oscar playing Japanese drums while wearing a coat similar to what taiko groups normally wear. I've been able to find...

Just completed a trade with MuppetDanny, and it was a pleasure. Everything went smoothly, with no troubles whatsoever. Thanks a lot!

Evening, all. I've recently discovered that my VHS copy of Secrets of the Muppets, taped on Nickelodeon back in the day, has started to wear a bit and probably isn't long for this world. (I'm not totally surprised, mind you, seeing the amount of wear that has seen). Given that it's not...

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone might happen to have a copy of the Global Grover segment from Episode 4130, where he goes to Hawaii and learns about taiko drums. Then, when he returns to Sesame Street he plays a bit of taiko himself. I'm currently doing research on taiko drumming...

Lubbock Lou and his Jughuggers on the Muppet Wiki (in case the name wasn't familiar - the characters themselves probably are) Okay, so it's pretty obvious that when these muppets were designed, they were based on real-life figures. Lubbock Lou = Fidel Castro Slim Wilson = Willie Nelson...

You know, this is the first I've heard of this. Could someone link to this particular DVD?? Perhaps a listing on amazon.co.uk?? Having a region-free player, I'm definitely interested in picking up an unedited version of MFC, especially considering my tape version is going the way of all good...

Mudwell's song is one of my favorites. This is definitely one of those shows that transends the basic limitations of a "puppet show" and goes into something else. It's exactly what Jim was intending for Fraggle Rock.

I remember seeing someone say that the next batch would be Traveling Matt and Mokey, but I could be mistaken. I think I saw it multiple times, though, so it could possible be a matter of a rumor taking hold on the internet, as rumors often do.

I finally got around the watching this DVD. I couldn't find it at my local Wal-Mart, but my Mom found it at a one up in PA, so she bought one for herself and sent me one. :P Yes, the video quality isn't mind-numbingly stunning. But compared to the 20 year old videos I've been watching, it's a...

It's against my better judgement, but I'm going to respond to that... I have nothing against Hot Topic or the people who shop there. I just don't want to shop there. There is nothing in that store, with the exception of these recently arrived Fraggle dolls, that I would ever consider...

A tip for those of you who, like me, don't want to get anywhere near a Hot Topic and also cannot find the latest dolls at Suncoast: I picked up the Wembley and Boober dolls today at the Borders where I work in Dallas. We also had the Red and Gobo ones, but I decided to hold off. I dunno if...

Goodbye, Goodbye, from Manny's Land of Carpets, always gets me. It's not an upbeat song in the least, but something about it... :sympathy: Time to say good-bye to your home, Places you've known, Heart like a stone, As you go. Time to scramble down from the dream, List, rock...

No, I meant in between episodes, not during the show itself. Hmm... I'll have to check on that. Been a while since I watched the episode all the way through, but I don't ever recall seeing any differences between HBO airings and Disney Channel airings. Of course, considering how long it's...
