I might have asked before (or maybe it was on a Facebook group page), but did anybody watch the New Years 1997 marathon at midnight? I feel like I saw some of it but not all of it, and I'd really like to know what the surprise teased in this commercial was. Nick New Year's Eve '97 Promo-...

I was looking at the Muppet Wiki page for the computer game Muppets on Stage... Muppets on Stage | Muppet Wiki | Fandom Is it just me or does it look like Gonzo is wearing the checkered outfit he would wear starting with Muppet Classic Theater in the game (which came out in the 1980s)?

I've been watching the Sam and Friends episode with "Old Black Magic".... Can anybody tell if the characters on the television screen are just behind a cut-out hole in the screen area or if they were actually projecting pre-recorded video on the TV? I always thought the set was just cut to...

Recently, the clip where Bert sees Mr. Snuffleupagus has surfaced on YouTube. Sesame Street - Bert sees Snuffy - YouTube It is interesting. When Big Bird invites Bert to meet Snuffy, and Bert doesn't want to meet an imaginary friend, I can't quite tell if he's nicer or about the same as...

There's a song called "Words", by Missing Persons. The common lyric is "what are words for? 'Cause no one listens anymore." So was that topical back when the song was written? Is it true that, at least back then, nobody listened anymore? And if no one listened anymore, how could they be sure...

I've known this for a while and keep forgetting to report it here, but the next release, coming January 31, is Furry Friends Forever. I am not sure what the main program is, something animated with Elmo and Tango. I would think the recent Furry Friends Forever: Elmo Gets a Puppy special, but...

Thinking more about Before and After… I wish that the pumpkin hippie lost his hair in the second to last take of the group, and then at the end was holding his hair in his hand, along with the leader holding his hat in his hand.

As I was watching last night, I was also kind of hoping the pumpkin member’s nose would have fallen off. I’ve heard they use t-pins to hold noses on, I wonder if it would have hurt to just press in it to make it fall off on purpose. We only briefly hear the hippies individual voices. We hear...

After watching the season two Before and After song, I am convinced that the pumpkin hippie's hair falling off his head was deliberate (maybe decided upon after all those takes where the fat blue hippie's hat falls off). As I was watching, in the previous scenes, he is moving wildly, but in...

I dreamt that Muppet Wiki had some new info on The Muppets Mayhem. In the dream, I learned that each episode would heavily be Muppet Show compilations, with the guides confirming many songs from two individual episodes per episode (so for example, one guide mentioned it would have four song...

I was surprised to hear about this. I was thinking they would have dedicated an episode to Emillio last season. And I was expecting this one to be dedicated to Bob McGrath. A little eerie that they planned an episode as a tribute to one former cast member and it just happened to premiere the...

The other night I was watching the ME-TV "Tiny Toony Christmas Special", I noticed that back in the golden age of animation there weren't a lot of Christmas shorts, and yet most of the ones shown have very little dialogue, many focused more on being cute. And yet of the shorts featured that...

Over the years, there have often been new cable channels. I don’t think my cable provider ever added any new channels on the day they premiered. My cable provider always just added several new channels at once when they did. But I assume new channels do get added at launch somewhere. I think...

Two different characters who provide services to Oscar are The Mudman and Bruno. While they don't work together, they both look similar to Biff and Sully, though The Mudman looks more like Biff when he is in illustrated form. There's also the fact that The Mudman and Biff were both performed by...

One thing I am curious about is Baker #4 appearing to follow the "Ernie weighs cherries" sketch in this clip. Sesame Street - Baker # 4 - YouTube I did the "what links here" thing on the wiki, and there's no (American) episode where the sketches appear back to back, though I did see one or two...

I wonder if they intentionally tried to have the wig fall off or if they had trouble keeping it on when that hippie moved so wildly with such long hair. I would have thought they’d Velcro, pin, or use double sided tape, maybe they felt it would stay on without assistance and were wrong.

Maybe it's just me, but the Pumkin Anything Muppet, whenever the character is completely bald, kind of looks like one of the old McDonalds Chicken McNuggets puppets (even when this one has a nose, whereas the McNuggets don't have noses).

Now every segment with Lefty the Salesman is on YouTube. It is interesting seeing him sell items to characters other than Ernie. Herry seems to be as grouchy as Oscar in regards to his presence. The one with Molly marks the first time I saw a clip from one of the reported-lost episodes online...

I haven’t watched the Dog City animated series in years, but I am trying to remember, did Bugsy Vile wear a wig? My memory says yes but I don’t see anything online that says so. of course, Bugsy in the original special did not have hair while Bruno did have black hair (I don’t recall Bruno’s...

I was reading on the wiki that the song was originally going to be called "be Our Ghost" and left in some references and I had trouble placing any. Still, seriously? "We did that in a beastly cartoon?", as in rats did that in Beauty and the Beast? Don't really know what a "croon" means.
