    New "Rubber Duckie" performance

    A new version of "Rubber Duckie" for this new season is now online, featuring Daveed Diggs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=6&v=punrsuK62fM I was surprised that this isn't the celebrity montage we were told of. Makes me wonder if there is going to be a celebrity montage of the...

    Muppetzine thread

    I put this in general discussion because I wasn't sure which of the Muppet folders it belongs in. But a couple of weeks ago, Tough Pigs posted scans from every issue of Muppetzine. It's a fun read. http://www.toughpigs.com/muppetzine/ I didn't know about it until I got the internet in 1996...

    Sorta-Belated TV Alert: Muppet double feature on TBS 9/4

    I say this is sorta-belated because it's not over, but right now, TBS is airing The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted back-to-back, and Muppets Most Wanted will air again immediately after itself. I saw this news on Tough Pigs a few days ago and assumed it was posted here, but as I looked I see...

    My own Weekly Muppet Wednesdays profiles

    I'm really not sure what folder is the right one for this. A few months ago, The Muppet Mindset announced that it would discontinue its Weekly Muppet Wednesdays article series. Most of the really important characters have been covered, but there's still quite a few who I feel should be given WMW...

    April Fools: "Muppets Summer" coming to Freeform

    Today, I was thinking about how ABC Family changed its name to Freeform, and wondered how they got away with dropping "family" from the title (as many places say that the channel legally has to have that word in the title regardless of who owns it), so I decided to try to look it up, and I found...

    April Fools: New Facebook opportunity to help with Sesame Street DVD

    The Sesame Street Facebook page has posted a new opportunity to help out with a future Sesame Street DVD set, much like they did in 2008 for 40 Years of Sunny Days (I know, that was the Sesame Workshop Facebook page as opposed to the Sesame Street page) and in 2012 for Best of Friends. But this...

    April Fools: New Muppet Show Online!

    I just found at the Muppets YouTube channel the first in a brand-new Muppet show called "The Muppets Show Online", which is very similar to The Muppet Show with some exceptions, such as only being 13 minutes, not having a guest star, and not having a big opening (we just see the title card with...

    old Billboard article on launch of Sesame Street videos

    I've been looking at some old Billboard issues online and found an article from 1986 about the early Sesame Street video releases. Here's a link...

    Chip's blinking pupils

    Anybody know if there's any special reason why Chip's pupils have a blinking effect? It is weird, and Chip is kind of a weird character (even more so on The Muppets, where he's finally given character development), but his appearance isn't too weird (could that be the point, one of the more...

    Emmett Otter and Bells of Fraggle Rock on ABC Family this year

    I found out today that Emmett Otter's Jug-Band Christmas and The Bells of Fraggle Rock will both be airing on ABC Family as part of the channel's "25 Days of Christmas" event. They will both air on December 12 and 13. It's interesting that ABC Family paid for the rights to broadcast these two...

    The Muppets' 60th Anniversary Trip

    Chapter 1 Our story begins in at WRC-TV in Washington, D.C. The year is 1955. There's auditions for a new local show, and the casting has been almost finished. "I got the part!", said Blingo, a purple guy who looked like part-salmon, part-buffalo. "Yeah, but everyone who auditioned got...

    Top 60 Muppet Moments

    It's the 60th anniversary of the Muppets (or should be, but there's no official celebration), so I thought I'd make a list of my top 60 Muppet moments. I had wanted to do this as a Muppet Mindset article, but I kept debating over whether to limit the moments to ones featuring the Disney-owned...

    Purple Chili

    Chapter 1 Bunsen and Beaker were carrying Bunsen's latest invention out of the Muppet boarding house basement. "Ah, Beaker, we've done it again. Made another useful invention." "Mee", sighed Beaker, giving Bunsen a slightly disagreeable look. "This purple pool chemical will make...

    The Countesses

    I thought I'd start a thread about the Countesses, female counterpartes to The Count. Most of them look very similar, being female versions of The Count, even having curly blonde hair (surely there could be other hair colors). I didn't know there were multiple Countesses until Sesame...

    What if the Trash Heap communicated with Gorgs and Doozers?

    Lately I've been thinking about "The Great Radish Famine", where Marjourie the Trash Heap magically takes away the radishes because the Fraggles, Gorgs, and Doozers are all in conflict with each other (never mind the fact that the Gorgs and Doozers hadn't been aware of each other before this...

    What has The Count counted multiple times?

    Today I've been thinking: What all has The Count counted in multiple episodes/sketches/specials/books/whatever? The only thing I can think of that he's counted more than once have been sheep, counting sheep in the sketch where he spends the night at Ernie and Bert's apartment (where he seems...

    Posting pictures in threads

    Lately I've been looking at a number of threads, mainly in the fan art folder, and thought about taking pictures of some Muppet drawings I have done over the years and posting them within the threads. But then when looking at what to do to add images, I saw that I had to add a URL link. So when...

    Shake Your Head One Time

    Today I saw this Sesame Street segment for the first time. I don't recall knowing about it before (I probably saw it mentioned and pictured on Muppet Wiki without thinking enough about it to remember), and it sure is a fun song. One thing that's interesting is how Bert and Grover both...
