    Muppet SNL Land of Gorch Skits coming to DVD

    Beautiful. Now we'll have to see if we'll get any Gorch-related special features, such as cast members looking back on the series.

    what if there were more Gorgs?

    My personal guess is that there are more Gorgs out there somewhere, but that they're so far spread out that it's been years since the ones we know made any contact with them. I think they're aware there may be others, given simply how often they speak of loyal subjects (although I personally...

    Fraggle Movie Status

    It's a relatively minor point I'm making here, but presuming the Jim Henson Company Proper in part or in whole makes this (which seeing how they have full rights to the show seems logical), do you suppose they'd still be able to use the Kermit-on-the-crane-shot logo for the company ID at the...

    Sesame Street Live

    I saw most if not all of them from 1986-1990 at Wilkes-Barre's F.M. Kirby Center, and I still have all the programs somewhere. For some reason I kind of remember Big Bird's Sesame Street Story and Big Bird and the ABCs performed in reverse order than is listed on the list. Regardless, it...

    Scariest Dinosaur moments

    I never really found any parts scary per se. Occasionally Richfield could be a bit intimidating, especially whenever he was in a bad mood, but he never really crossed the line into frightening.

    Why are FR songs so short?

    It was on the record containing the best sogns from Season 1 that I once had. Funnily enough, sometimes I remember the record with Doc's dialogue and sometimes without, which I think was the case with reissues of it.

    Don't Eat the Pictures

    "Oh boy, it going to be long night." Few other Sesame productions better showed Cookie's pure compulsions.

    Character Departures

    Didn't Mr. MacIntosh leave around 1992?

    Frank on Little Mermaid DVD

    The loss of Ashman was a major blow to the company that's still felt today. But while we're on this, I'm told that in fact if you look close enough when Triton enters the concert hall at the beginning, you can actually see Kermit in the audience! Can anyone else confirm this?

    Don't Eat the Pictures

    Indeed that gave me an advance knowledge of the basics of the entire Osiris legend before I probably would have learned it in school. It was rather sporting of Big Bird to loan a feather for the weighing (why one would be unavailable for a god is beyond me, but still...). I agree this is...

    Gunge and Philo's race

    One thought that's been with me lately, perhaps their species is the decendants of that Gunge-like race we see inhabiting the Dinosaurs' world, that some of them slipped through a wormhole in the Rock's world just before the dinosaurs' world ended and kept the species going over whatever time...

    Thoughts on Cantus

    You have to wonder who influenced him to become who he is. An episode looking back at his formative years may have been interesting to watch. Cantus is perhaps most representative of the Jim Henson I envisioned growing up in the 80s: an ominpresent force who knew more than anyone (but...

    Walt Disney Company - Classic Muppets???

    Home on the Range was the other one. What also hurts them is the instance on video sequels for every single picture. Maybe the first couple of times it was interesting, but once it became clear they were just doing the same stories over and over again with these everyone stopped buying--only...

    First four minutes of Sesame Street 1969 pilot on YouTube

    Not only is Frank's arm visible on Bert for that first scene, I could see his glasses briefly as well.

    Character Debuts

    Don't forget Mr. MacIntosh in 1974, I believe.

    The Great Muppet Caper

    It's the little touches they throw in that make it even more worthwhile. One I really like is how Zoot during the "Happiness Hotel" musical interlude keeps blowing his notes right in Kermit's face, causing him to recoil; you have to wonder if they winged that on the set. It's a little sad...

    Aloysius Snuffleupagus

    Roughly when was Snuffleupagus's first name revealed, and has it ever been explicitly stated why "Aloysius" was chosen?

    Happy birthday Jim, wherever you are

    He still lives in an ephemeral sense. If you can somehow read this, Jim, thank you for helping to make me me. :) :p

    Interpretation of "Manny's Land of Carpets"

    Where might Fraggle scripts--or indeed any Muppet script for that matter--be found?

    Another Very Merry Muppet Family Christmas Story

    So for everyone who did read it, if you had to pick a favorite part, which would it be? And which character(s) did you think I did the best with?
