    "Herbert the Timid Dragon and Other Tales"

    I am surprised I didn't post on this forum about this video yet! Last summer I bought this Golden Book Video at a used video store called "Herbert the Timid Dragon and Other Tales." It's a lot like the Sesame Street Golden Book Videos. I wrote a RetroJunk article about it...

    Next Looney Tunes DVD set cartoon list up!

    http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Bugs-Bunny-Looney-Tunes-Comedy-Hour-Volume-6/10016 I'm so glad WB is going to put "Now Hear This" on this set! It's one of my all-time favorite Chuck Jones cartoons! I love the visual style and the sound effects. It was also the first LT short to use the...

    "Mahna-Mahna" at the ball park!

    Today I was at the Campanelli Stadium for a Brockton Rox baseball game with my brother. We had a lot of fun, including watching my old high school's principal and vice-principal participate in the "Sumo Wrestling" activity, and getting a goofy Rox hat and having it signed by the mascot, K-O the...

    Little Muppet Monsters is on Youtube

    Someone uploaded the first episode of the long-lost "Muppets, Babies and Monsters" on Youtube! Here's Part 1... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVkvLJToU0k It also includes the Muppet Babies episode "Piggy's Hyper-Activity Book." And it surprised me how they used Muppet Babies background...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy on the Simpsons

    On the new episode "Papa Don't Leech," it had country singer Lureen Lumpkin singing to Kermit the Frog wearing a cowboy hat, and Miss Piggy got jealous and began fighting with Kermit! I added that info to Muppet Wiki! Well, just the description. Now we need an image...

    Those stupid CGI talking-animal movies...

    I seem to be the only one that noticed that an unfortunate trend Hollywood's been doing since 2001 is doing CGI animated movies where the main characters are talking animals! These films often have celebrity/big name actors in the voice cast, crude "Ren and Stimpy"-style humor, pop songs...

    Scooby-Doo meets the Muppet Babies: "Decoy for a Dognapper"

    Another entry in my Scooby-Doo/Muppet Babies crossover series, this one is "Decoy for a Dognapper." The voice cast includes the same cast from "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" and "Jim Henson's Muppet Babies," with Dave Coulier as Baby Animal and Baby Bunsen, and Frank Welker does quadruple-duty as...

    Scooby-Doo Meets the Muppet Babies!

    The first entry of a series I plan on doing. This is a variation of the 1969 "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" episode "Mine Your Own Business," with the Muppet Babies appearing alongside the Scooby-Doo gang. I didn't do the whole episode, but I did some of the funniest scenes. Some of the Muppet...

    The many closing credits of Muppet Babies

    I've noticed that over the years of the "Muppet Babies," one thing that has evolved was the closing credit sequence. There were many differences, and I will post the versions I know: SEASON ONE: The shortest of the closing sequences, it starts on the shot of Baby Kermit and Piggy as...

    The "Upstairs, Downstairs" debate!

    OK, ever since the "Upstairs, Downstairs" Monsterpiece Theater classic has been re-uploaded to Youtube, this has started an odd debate. JonnyTBird and a few others claim that it is from 1978 and the first Monsterpiece Theater made, according to the packaging of an Alistair Cookie doll...

    Muppet Babies opening sequence question

    I have a question about a particular "Muppet Babies" opening title sequence: I know the one commonly seen on Youtube (starts with Baby Rowlf on the piano, Fozzie on the rocking horse, etc.) was from the first and second seasons, but when did THIS opening first be put into use...

    Muppet Night at my local ball park!

    OK, so tonight I went over to a baseball game at the nearby minor-league baseball stadium (the team is the Brockton Rox). As one of the themes for this night's Family Fun Night, it was MUPPET NIGHT! During intervals after an in-game promotion and before an inning (or half-inning) started...

    Sesame Street and Fire Drills

    Yesterday at my college they were upgrading the fire alarms in one of the buildings, and that got me thinking... I've noticed "Sesame Street" has never done a fire drill segment AT ALL. I mean "Arthur" did one, and... I don't know any other shows that did so. Maybe Baby Bear or Abby Cadabby...

    Monsterpiece Theater: The Chipmunk Song

    I'm sure some of you know that back in 1959, Ross Bagdasarian (a.k.a. David Seville) performed "The Chipmunk Song" with puppet versions of the Chipmunks created by Bob Clampett. With this fanfic, this is what it'd be like if the Jim Henson Company took a stab at doing their own version of "The...

    A Youtube Clip: Rowlf Watches Vincent Twice

    As a tie-in to my "Sesame Street Horror Special," I made a little video clip that will only be on Youtube for a short time (I might remove it by the end of August, then move it to Google Video). It is a parody of the Muppet Babies episode "Is There a Muppet in the House?" and the movie Rowlf...

    The Sesame Street Horror Special: Part Four

    At long last! An update to my Muppet tale of terror. For those of you who are just joining in, I will recap the previous parts. In this "Mysterious Theater" installment hosted by Vincent Twice, Herry Monster was watching a scary movie with his friends Big Bird, Elmo, Grover and Telly when he...

    Hoots the Owl's eyes!

    Am I the only one who noticed something they changed with Hoots the Owl in recent years? It seems that they changed Hoots's eyes! The original version of Hoots (1985-2001 version) had these realistic owl-like eyes that looked really cute...

    Some ways to improve Sesame Street

    OK, today I saw Episode 4129 of "Sesame Street." It was a slight improvement over the 2004 episode I saw. I also got to see the full version of the current opening theme. It is basically another remix of the old "Sesame Street" intro but with more instruments, and of course, including the...

    Herry saying "Ya."

    I just noticed something. On the Herry Monster Magic Slate thing, Herry says "If you make a mess, make it DISAPPEAR! Ya." And in this story I read as a kid where Herry Monster looses a huge burlap sack full of his weight-lifting equipment (the others thought it was laundry, and this story was...
