    The water from the pipes

    So in the third episode, it's established that the Fraggle Pond gets its water from the pipes when the Pipe Bangers bang on the pipes, which comes because Doc hears noise in the pipes and has to turn it on. So I wonder how they got the water both before Doc moved and after. I often feel like...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Love Lifted Me. In particular, the version sung in a promo for the Ronald McDonald House of Charity (as seen at the end of the Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue VHS). Ronald McDonald Children's Charities Love Lifted Me commercial 1990 - YouTube

    Ron Howard to direct Jim Henson Documentary

    I am excited for this. I hope it includes a lot of Muppet footage not on Disney +. I also hope it leads to more Muppet content coming to the service (even if we have to wait until closer to the documentary's release).

    Don Knotts Episode on Disney+

    I watched this to see how Disney+ edited it. The final scene is an especially bad edit (showing a wipe during the scene). I can't decide whether it would have just been better to start that part with Floyd telling Fozzie to take off his shades. Would it have been so bad if they left in all...

    Baldness on Red Fraggle

    This may sound weird but.... Anybody ever notice that, while Red Fraggle has two pigtails, the surface of her head is otherwise bald? Seems like normally the only hair she has is in her pigtails, with no hair surrounding the very top of her head. I wonder if this would qualify as a puppet...

    Is Muppet Labs a realistic variety show act?

    This thought recently got into my mind. Is Muppet Labs a realistic kind of sketch for a variety show? sure, they are comedy sketches, but in the universe of the show, the various mishaps are not intentional. I guess it’s two scientists showing off a talent - showing how their inventions work...

    Why do Kermit and Fozzie move in the opening?

    In The Muppet Show opening, when the title logo lowers, does anybody know why Kermit and Fozzie move from where they are? They are the only ones who move out of the way (I would think Miss Piggy would be more likely to move away than Fozzie would).

    Questions about anything

    Did all five themed days of The Mickey Mouse Club have their own theme song? I know that The Best of Disney: 50 Years old Magic shows the "Anything Can Happen Day" theme, and the "Fun with Music" theme was on a Sing-Along Songs video (and was the title song, even though the cover represented...

    Official: "The Muppets Mayhem" Disney+ series premieres Wednesday, May 10, 2023

    Now I wonder if it’d be good if the main Muppets outside of the Electric Mayhem were kind of treated like TMS guest stars by each only appearing in one episode (and perhaps having them all appear in the season finale). though if it is documentary style, I guess that format would lend itself...

    Official: "The Muppets Mayhem" Disney+ series premieres Wednesday, May 10, 2023

    I forgot about this and didn’t get to watch it live (I had a few questions, though it looks like those were answered after all). People on the Toughpigs forum were hoping each episode would be more an excuse for the band to perform, with minimal linking plot. Looks like it’s not going to be...

    The Muppet Show Season 5 Episode 23 - Linda Ronstadt

    One thing I had not thought about until tonight: Gonzo sees that his trunk of his fungus collection lacks mildew, and he and Scooter seem to go to get it.... I would have thought that he'd open the trunk (and effectively let Kermit out) to put the mildew in.

    The Muppet Show Season 5 Episode 22 - Buddy Rich

    I'm actually surprised by how much Buddy appears in this. It feels like he gets more screen time compared to other guest stars. He's practically in the whole first half. Was that a special Beaker puppet built for this, or did they alter one of the spare ones from the Mac Davis episode (many...

    The Muppet Show Season 4 Episode 10 - Kenny Rogers

    I was surprised, I expected the Arabs oil plotline to be in more of the episode then it actually was, and the "Kermit gets injured" plotline to be featured less than it was. After reading the description/rundown on the Muppet Home Page episode guide (and having been familiar with quite a few...

    The Muppet Show Season 4 Episode 3 - Shields and Yarnell

    I watched this today, and I was surprised. I was under the impression that Shields and Yarnell never talked in the episode (except maybe at the end, like the Mummenshaz did). After all, they are primarily silent in their first two dressing room scenes... So I was surprised when they talk...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    And there seems to be some segments that are blocked, even though they’re neither on HBO Max or have ever been released commercially.

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Actually, Sesame Workshop owns the distribution rights to Sesame Street. HBO Max owns the streaming rights, but I don't think HBO or HBO Max own the rights any more than PBS ever did. HBO may have authority in blocking fan uploads, though.

    Old Nickelodeon

    I was reminded of this Alex Mack promo: Secret World of Alex Mack - Alex Mack Is Powerful - YouTube Is the part at the end, where the dad says "if she's so powerful, she should use her powers to clean the downstairs bathroom" while a door seems to be closing due to her powers, part of an...

    The Muppet Show Season 4 Episode 18 - Christopher Reeve

    Although I had already seen this one (and still haven't gotten through all the episodes I have not seen), I decided to watch this one on Disney+. I had thought that the only reason Christopher Reeve was the doctor in Vets Hospital was because Miss Piggy forced Rowlf to be the patient and...

    The Muppet Show Season 5 Episode 10 - Jean-Pierre Rampal

    All this time, I was under the impression that Lips never appeared in a backstage scene, so I was pleasantly surprised to see him backstage as the Electric Mayhem left the stage and walked past backstage (I did not know the band was in this scene). I also like seeing Bunsen and Beaker on the...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    I dreamt I was in a book store and saw copies of a few Jim Henson and Muppet books I did not know existed (and would have known about online). One that stood out was an expanded rerelease of Sesame Street Unpaved, the book was fatter and shaped differently. But one of the books included a...
