    Alternate intros?

    The opening was the same all throughout the series (except for two episodes in the first season that in their original broadcasts had Gobo or Wembley doing the final "Down in Fraggle Rock" instead of Boober). However i think one of the dvd bonus features showed the "album version" you're...

    Commercial rant time...

    I can vouch for the pure evil-ness of SMC. I used to work there (Arizona has a lot of call centers). I had heard from a lot of people beforehand that it's not a good place to work but as someone who needed a graveyard job to work at as a second job, they were one of the few real good choices...

    Keeping Hats on Heads

    It seems they use a variety of methods. I'm sure velro/double stick tape is used a bit if they want the hat to stay on in a scene - thanks to the nice clear picture dvds offer, you can see the pin keeping Zoot's hat in place in early episodes. And if i remember correctly, when they brought out...

    Are there different edits/versions of Sid the Science Kid?

    Well i bought the Sid dvd Change Happens and got my answer (The Sticker Chart episode is on the bonus dvd). It looks like there is a small scene that gets cut out of the PBS broadcasts in each episode - so far it looks like they're all one of the scenes after Susie has the kids play with...

    Increase in Persons with Moneys

    moneys - i think we all just simply have Pepe the Prawn to thank for making that more popular! We all know what a trendsetter he is! like - (thinks for a minute, then in Mr. Horse voice:) "No, sir, I don't like it."

    Miss Piggy to appear on Desperate Housewives Season 5 DVD

    It's possible it may just be the WWOO promo that aired during DH (they also did one for Lost and Alias). Hopefully it will be something more though.

    Looking for Mona Monster

    Being that the original poster is from Ireland, he may be referring to a character from their version of Sesame - to most of us "Mona Monster" is a super-obscure monster who was only in a handful of sketches in the 80's as Telly's sister. The same puppet was later recycled as the much better...

    I want the Original Season of All That.

    You may want to join the forum at ycdtotv.com - they have a section for other shows and you may find quite a few people there who would be supportive. Off the top of my head you may try doing a Google search to see if you can find any fansites or message boards for All That and possibly post...

    The Best Neighbor

    Ha ha - i wasn't even thinking of Kenny just because even without the "celebrity cameo" the idea was funny enough - i was actually thinking of this guy who works the drive-thru at Arby's during graveyard shift...he always has the look/expression of a zombie and mutters everything in the speaker...

    Nickelodeon Changing its Logo

    All You Ever Wanted to Know About Slime Yeah - as kids a lot of us wanted to be slimed...and never grew out of it! When i was in my late teens/early 20's, a group of friends and i loved doing wet/messy stuff like water fights, pie fights, etc. Birthdays and lost bets/games were always...

    Where can i find "Rainbow Connection" zine?

    In this day of everyone doing websites, the printed fanzine is something i really miss. Someone recently let me know about a new 'zine called "The Rainbow Connection: Richard Hunt Gay Muppeteer" - and of course i VERY much want to get hold of a copy what with my love of Muppet related zines...

    The humans' last names on the show

    Yes. Sesame Unpaved, as great as it was, had several glaring factual errors. After 4200 episodes (counting season 40 still to be aired), Bob Johnson probably was mentioned or alluded to (via a prop) on at least one occasion on the show. I'll admit that "Bob Johnson" does ring a bell outside...

    How Many Muppets Are There? Thousands?

    Ah - the eternal question: "How does one count the Muppets". I congratulate anyone who even attempts such a thing not only due to the large number but by the fact that to even do such a thing, you have to set a large number of parameters which are logistical nightmares, one of them being...

    Question about Janice capture In the Muppet show?

    Well, depending on how layered an answer you want: -- Unlike the pigs-capture-the-cast plot discussed in this thread (that people thought you were asking about at first), that was a "backstage plot" and in the "reality" viewers assign to the show was actually happening to Kermit, Fozzie, etc...

    Comic-Con Dark Crystal Announcement

    Apologies if this has been answered already but has it been said (at comiccon or elsewhere) but the fate is of TokyoPop's DC & Labyrinth mangas...will they get finished, transferred over to the new company or just dropped leaving readers hanging (this would be a huge shame for RTL which just has...

    Dark Crystal & Labyrinth Blu-ray Release Details

    I think they did a good job picking the extras, there's something new to make it worth buying for those who do but at the same time, they aren't putting anything on there so awesome that it's going to tick off anyone who has no plans to buy into the whole blu-ray fad.

    Walter Cronkite dead at 92

    >>> Rest in peace, Walter, and may you deliver the latest breaking news reports from that news desk up in the sky. Thinks about that for a moment...what kind of news would come from the sky? OMG - WALTER CRONKITE WILL BE DOING THE WEATHER REPORTS! What a concept - weather reports one can...

    Why did MFS and EIG bomb so bad?

    Have finally gotten around to this thread. About once or twice a year there's a thread like this one that evolves from the original topic/question to a more general discussion of the current state of the Muppets. I know i've brought this up before but it's a very important thing to remember...

    "The" Cookie Monster?

    It not only got made but also aired - i remember seeing it...of course given the age of the episode it's rare and probably hasn't been repeated since the year it was on since it wasn't one of the handful of episodes that was chosen for Unpaved or dvd box sets (this was a street story and not a...
