    Little things we've noticed

    I don't think paying them royalties for Sesame Park would be too different from paying them royalties for the main Sesame Street.

    We did that in a beastly cartoon, it was a beauty

    During the "Life Hereafter" song in Muppets Haunted Mansion, at one point they make a reference to Beauty and the Beast. One rat sings "we ain't rich and he can't groove" (and I kept having trouble understanding that line), and then another says "we did that in a beastly cartoon", to which...

    The "You know what?" thread

    When it comes to adult cartoons on the networks (not cable channels), Fox seems to do the most successful, while ABC, CBS, and NBC all seem to avoid adult cartoons. Of course, once The Simpson’s began, ABC and CBS tried their hands at prime time cartoons and those failed. CBS tried Fish Police...

    Muppets Haunted Mansion premieres on Disney Channel October 22, 2022

    I mistakenly thought it was on The Disney Channel tomorrow night as opposed to tonight.

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    What's the deal with Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein having that title? It is the first of the "Abbot and Costello Meet..." series of films where they meet movie monsters, but in this first one, Dracula and the Wolf Man are featured just as prominently (maybe even more so) than...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In the second Simpson's Halloween episode, the segments are the nightmares of Lisa, Bart, and Homer, but all three could have just as well have been Homer's nightmares. Lisa's nightmare seems more like Homer is the star. He's the one to buy the monkey paw, he's featured the most, he ends the...

    Review: Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show

    One thing I wonder, and so far I haven’t seen anything in the book to indicate this, is if Pierre the French Rat appeared on Sam and Friends. I have seen some places on the official Henson site that say Pierre did appear, but then you never see him in any vintage photos with the cast. There’s no...

    Review: Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show

    I got the book yesterday. I've been going all over the book, to various parts. In the credits section, I always thought Jim Henson directed the show, and was surprised to see others listed as directors (with Jim Henson not listed at all). Jim Henson: The Works gave me the impression that he...

    Review: Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show

    While it would be great if they could put out a DVD of all the surviving episodes (or at least all the ones that don't need clearances plus the ones they can clear), I've started thinking there should be a book of Sam and Friends scripts. And since it seems like many of the audio tracks still...

    Your Thoughts: The 100 Greatest TV Shows of All Time

    A few surprises for Muppet fans.... The only Henson shows I noticed here are The Muppet Show and Sesame Street. When it comes to non-Henson shows, the biggest omissions in my mind are Newhart and a number of '90s Nickelodeon shows (Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, All That.... Salute Your Shorts...

    Lending Tree commercial with Lenny from the Jim Henson Company

    I don't think the other people at the bank was really listening, nobody else is really shown listening, and I don't think Lenny really cared if they heard him or smelled BS. Even if he really did literally smell BS, they might not have also smelled it and he could have been checking to see if...

    The "You know what?" thread

    This is the first I heard of the small arcade replica. I’d seen there was one for Ninja Turtles and thought there should be one for the Simpson’s (though the Turtles one is just three of the levels).

    Lending Tree commercial with Lenny from the Jim Henson Company

    He’s just saying that he thinks the deal is a scam (or not as good as Lending Tree) and “that smell” is emphasizing his disbelief.

    Lending Tree commercial with Lenny from the Jim Henson Company

    I think he means that he does not believe what is being said (some people refer to unbelievable things as BS - sometimes even the actual words) and pretending to smell something to be funny.

    Little things we've noticed

    When Jerry Nelson was interviewed for Toughpigs, he said that he stopped performing Snuffy because he was a major character on the street and Nelson was spending a lot of time in England doing Sesame Street (though there is the fact that Richard Hunt performed the puppetry for one season and...

    Sesame Street episodes with the film clip song Pockets

    Are you just wanting to know all episodes it was in, or are you actually wanting copies of all episodes it was in?

    Muppet Beach Party Thread

    Looks like there's not really a Muppet Beach Party thread here (based on just one page of Google results). I got the Muppet Beach Party album last April, I kept meaning to do a thread about this, and now I'm finally doing it.... When we only have a few days of Summer left. I know the...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I've heard that the reason The Simpson's arcade game was never released on a home console (well, it was released on some computers, does that count as consoles?) was because a different company held the home console rights to Simpson's games. The Simpson's arcade is well-regarded and...

    Why does Disney still allow Sesame Workshop to use the term "Muppet"?

    I have seen productions that list a Muppet Studios copyright without saying that Muppet is a trademark (I feel these productions don’t even use the term in the credits). Almost makes it look as if Muppet Studios shares copyright with Sesame Workshop on the production (I know better, but would...
