Recently, I decided to search the wiki for as many segments as I could think of that Jim Henson performed in, to see how often he performed on the show in later years (of course, taping dates are limited, so I'm mainly going by how many seasons he did). I decided to start with season ten...

Some time ago, I have seen one user mention a few times that he doubted the names of Chrissy and Rockin' Richard (and maybe Big Jeffy) were not meant to be canon since they were first mentioned in an audio-only song. But after thinking more about it, I have thought about how the voices were...

While Junior Gorg was often antagonistic to the Fraggles (usually by keeping them out of the garden or wanting them as a pet, sometimes having violent motives) and Ma Gorg was afraid of the Fraggles (in a similar way to housewives being afraid of mice), Pa Gorg rarely seemed to really dislike or...

I've been watching the promo for the talking Baby Sinclair doll commercial quite a bit lately, and in listening, I think there's something off about his voice. Anybody know if Kevin Clash voiced it as usual or if somebody else did? Sounds close, but something does not sound right. And maybe it...

Lately, I've been thinking about Mr. Richfield in the first few episodes of Dinosaurs, and is it just me, or is he a bit nicer in these? In the first episode, he seems to be his nicest to Earl (without it being a trick to benefit him) for the whole series, even if he still has a grumpy...

With Muppet Wiki having complete guides past season 20 (and I'm not really sure whether a few particular episodes are complete as aired in the states, but at least episode 2806 has a guide now), I've decided to look at the various Muppet Wiki sketch guides and determine how often Frank Oz...

The Muppet Show and first two movies were big hits, and were all originally done by ITC, who then did The Dark Crystal. Fraggle Rock was not produced or distributed by ITC, but do you suppose Jim Henson had considered pitching the show to ITC? Given the success of TMS and the movies, it...

In the last decade, many fans have said that Elmo and Cookie Monster are the most popular Sesame Street characters. But have there been many segments starring both of them? I can't really think of many, off-hand there's "A Monster Went and Ate My Red Two", but that's about it. And have there...

Recently, I’ve downloaded the album Bob’s Favorite Street Songs, and one of the songs included is Put Down the Duckie, which Bob sings with somebody else. Anybody know who Bob sang it with on the album? It doesn’t say on the digital info, and Muppet Wiki doesn’t say, either. I wouldn’t be...

Just out of the blue, somebody from Sesame Workshop sent me official internal memos and documents regarding planning on the Sesame Street Old School releases, both those that have been released and those that have not (at least not yet). I've been told I'm getting these as part of a special...

Today brand-new official Dinosaurs pages on both Facebook and Twitter were launched, and the first posts on those pages announced a CGI reboot coming to Disney + in the near future. As said in the post, APRIL FOOLS!

Something I thought might be worth talking about (though with it's list-like nature might be limiting): Character recasts whose previous performers performances continued to air on the show after the recasts. I'm not talking ones that have been released on home video (whether it's a release for...

Enjoy this fan fic for a 50th anniversary special. act 1 a square is in the center, as an instrumental of the theme plays. Rectangular boxes show up around the square, one ar a time, showing a little bit of audible dialogue before the next clip box shows up, four on top and bottom columns...

In honor of this week being the 40th anniversary of when The Muppet Movie was released in theaters, I'm presenting an anthology series of short stories called "Tales from The Muppet Movie", featuring backstories and things that happened during the events of the movie. I don't know how many...

This morning I got a notification that a post I made was deleted, along with the listed reason: "Please stop your posting behavior, contact the member in question via PM and if they choose not to answer then respect their decision to do so." However, there's a number of things about this that...

I've found that Sesame Workshop plans a year-long celebration of Grover to be called "The Year of the Monster". I heard about it yesterday when Muppet Wiki added a page for an upcoming special called The Monster at the End of This Story, and searched the sourced links, including this one...

Lately I've been thinking about how the 1993 Jim Henson Video releases of TMM and GMC had the Jim Henson Productions logo at the beginning and how the 1999 releases had the Jim Henson Pictures logo (which remains on modern releases), and I thought about how the 1994 release of The Dark Crystal...

Shout! just posted on their Facebook page that their first real collectors-marketed Sesame Street release is coming in August, and is called "Sesame Street's Most Controversial Moments". The post: We at Shout! Factory are pleased to announce the release of our first Sesame Street DVD to be...

It's been announced that there will be a new series of books called "Henson Performers Series", focusing on Muppet performers other than Jim Henson. From the press release by Ballentine Books: "Over the years, there have been many biographical books on Jim Henson, Muppet performer and...

It's been announced that a brand-new Fraggle Rock series is in production and is set to premier in 2020. It will feature a mix of new and old characters, and taking place after the original series wrapped up. The debut episode will find the Fraggles and Gorgs at odds against each other again...
