    April Fools: New Muppet film coming - “Muppets Hit the Fan”

    I was going to do a post that there were going to be Sesame Street NFTs, but then an actual announcement for them was made. So I figured I might as well plan all my April Fools posts to be about things I really want, in case such announcements do get made. i might be wrong but I think this is...

    April Fools: New Muppet film coming - “Muppets Hit the Fan”

    Well, it’s been announced on social media…. “A new Muppet movie is in the works. Tentatively titled The Muppets Hit the Fan, it’s an original story reminiscent of the Stephen King story Misery, set to star Neil Patrick Harris as a crazily obsessed fan of the Muppets glory days who manages to...

    Frank Oz just tweeted that he and Dave Goelz have gotten together to write a book about themselves as well as Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, and of course Jim Henson. It'll be titled "Us and Them and Jim", and each talent will get four chapters - two each written Oz and two by Goelz. Oz describes...

    Was there an episode where Fozzie took a babies batteries out?

    I'm remembering if a certain scene occurred on the original series. I remember an episode that had a scene with the Muppet Babies imagining they are taking care of a baby, probably a baby doll but presented as real in their imagination, and Fozzie gets it to stop crying by taking its batteries...

    The Muppet Show Season 5 Episode 9 - Debbie Harry

    This and Hal Linden might be the only ones that I have watched four times on Disney Plus. Most of the other episodes that I previously have not seen (as well as ones that I have seen) I have only watched twice at most on Disney Plus. I know I did watch Arlo Guthrie and Buddy Rich three times...

    The Muppet Show Season 5 Episode 7 - Glenda Jackson

    I often think of The Muppet Show being done at night (though the Loretta Lynn episode disagrees with that), so I was surprised to see the scenes at sea, which I always felt were outside the theater (or maybe the Muppets put a big screen with pre-recorded footage there) showing them out at sea...

    The Muppet Show Season 5 Episode 12 - Melissa Manchester

    I'm used to the UK spot ending with a fade to black before the next scene, but that's not on the Disney Plus version. I think there's a few other times when a fade to black (particularly after the closing number) is not there, so maybe Disney Plus removed some fades. It does got me wondering...

    Sweetums' club

    So in The Frog Prince, Sweetums had a club. And a club was considered for the Sweetums action figure at one point. But it wasn't until recently that I realized he didn't use a c;ub often. Outside of illustrations and merchandise, did Sweetums ever use a club in anything besides The Frog...

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    Here's an upload that seems kinda weird. Sesame Street 20th Anniversary Part 1 #throwbacktv #retrotv #kermitthefrog - YouTube It refers to it as "Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting - Part 1", when it is the entire special, along with some episodes of Sesame Street and The Jim Henson Hour...

    The Ghost of Faffner Hall now on the Roku Channel

    I watched the whole series on Roku last year, I've been meaning to talk about it here. And now I am (not long after Henson content was removed from Roku to Shout!). I liked the show enough. It's not among the all-time-best, but also not the all-time-worst, not even if you limit the...

    Sesame Street wrap party 1986

    I was surprised to see that some of those celebrity taping dates are from 1986. I would have expected those to have been in 1987 or 1988, closer to season 19. Even the shot of the cast singing a line for the end credits of Sesame Street Special was dated 1986 (and listed on the tape slate as...

    Sesame Street Season 10 Episode 1262 - A Movie is Being Filmed at Hooper's Store

    It is an interesting episode. I guess the lesson is about how filming works, perhaps one lesson is that even the shortest scenes can involve a lot of work to set up and film. The scene where Oscar asks to be in the movie and gets passed over for Bruno played out differently than I had...

    Sesame Street Season 7 Episode 900 - Sing-Along in Ernie and Bert's Bathroom

    I recently saw some of the classic episodes on HBO Max. This is an interesting episode. On the album, the few times they acknowledge Bert's demand for a towel, they just carelessly say that there's too many people for them to reach it. Seems it was supposed to be a very small bathroom, but on...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I was watching Return of Jafar for the first time in years. With the way Iago got himself out of the lamp and dug out, he could have just rubbed the lamp while underground and they could have gotten out easier. And if Iago had agreed to just free Jafar out of his lamp, he would have been in...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street on the Masked Singer on Wednesday March 15, 2023

    I wonder if the presence of Sesame Street characters was just a gateway to attract viewers to The Masked Singer.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street on the Masked Singer on Wednesday March 15, 2023

    I feel like the Muppets were just there for most of the show. Some funny moments (such as Cookie Monster's hand doing an impression of Thing from The Addams Family). I was hoping the guests would sing some classic Sesame Street songs. We did get brief renditions of "What's the Name of That...

    What episodes would you like to see on HBO Max?

    It looks like all of the episodes that have Monsterpiece Theater segments with the pipe also had those cut (or replaced with the redone intros version).

    The "You know what?" thread

    Many budget video companies have specialized in releasing animated shorts in the public domain, and many of them have a mix of cartoons and franchises from different studios. A video where the cover appears to spotlight Bugs Bunny might also include Tweety, Casper, and Betty Boop. Or a Popeye...
