    Little things we've noticed

    In episode 2042, when Oscar and Grundgetta dress in a Snuffleupagus to fool Gordon, Grundgetta gets on top and does the voice, though I think it would make more sense for Oscar to do the voice. In the 40th anniversary book, Pam Arciero’s first audition for Sesame Street was to perform Mr...

    Little things we've noticed

    I guess with Ernie and Bert Sing-Along, since it was a record first, and we could only hear what was going on, we were supposed to think that the bathroom was small and it was really crowded, which explains why whenever one of the adults actually acknowledges Bert's request for a towel, they say...

    The "You know what?" thread

    On The Munsters, there's Herman Munster, and one of the actresses is named Yvonne DeCarlo... On Pee-wee's Playhouse, there's Pee-wee Herman and Miss Yvonne. Maybe it's a coincidence.

    The "You know what?" thread

    On South Park, Mr. Hankey delivers to all kids who have a lot of fiber in their diet, and doesn't care if they celebrate Christmas or Hanuka or whatever... But his title is "Mr. Haneky the Christmas Poo". Shouldn't "Christmas" be left out of that? Maybe he could be called "Mr. Hankey the Holiday...

    Sesame Street Live: Big Bird's Sesame Street Story

    I thought I saw this one when I was a kid. The program cover looked familiar, and the wiki mentioned a number of songs I specifically remember seeing at Sesame Street Live, but there was one vague memory I had which I see was in this, confirming I had seen it. It's the scene where Prairie Dawn...

    Sesame Street Live: Big Bird's Sesame Street Story

    Well, I learned that a recording of the entirety of the Sesame Street Live show Big Bird's Sesame Street Story is now online. Of course the audio quality makes it sound like something is popping. Sesame Street Live: Big Bird’s Sesame Street Story (Full Show) - YouTube Starting this as a...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I should listen to the commentary again (I think it would be in the first episodes commentary). Or maybe he did want the shows to be similar but did not want the comparisons to be made (I remember nearly every article I saw about the show back in 1997 referring to the show being like Pee-wee’s...

    Any Ernst Fans?

    Been thinking about how Daniel Butler had a bit of a vocal range and looked a little different in all the Ernest films he was in. Of course he had featured roles as Eddie from Ernest Goes to Camp and Cliff (Kenny’s dad) in Ernest Scared Stupid, but he also had scenes as a waiter in Ernest Goes...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Hey Vern It’s Ernest and The Weird Al Show were both inspired by Pee-see’s Playhouse (I think Weird Al Yankovic said on the commentary that he did not want people to see his show as similar, but CBS promoted the show as being like it), and all three shows had an episode focusing on all of the...

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    The Sesame Street Live show Big Bird’s Sesame Street Story is on YouTube. I am very sure this is one that I saw as a child, so it’s great to get to see this one again (I haven’t watched through the whole thing yet).

    What episodes would you like to see on HBO Max?

    I don't have HBO Max, but yeah, nearly all of those episodes should be included. A few others (I don't feel like finding all the episode numbers): Episode 129 - Oscar hosts the show (I guess they would cut out the parts introducing segments where Bert and Ernie lose their noses, though) Episode...

    Let's Make a Dream

    Recently I've been listening to Joe Raposo's song "Let's Make a Dream". He wrote it and recorded vocals in 1988, but the song did not get released to the public until 1992, when it was included on the album We are All Earthlings. I feel that's a bit of an odd choice, I feel Sing: The Songs of...

    Little things we've noticed

    Recently I've been listening to "Let's Make a Dream", a song Joe Raposo wrote in 1988 that did not get released to the public until 1992. I'm not sure if it's his last song written (or his last where he recorded vocals), it seems like it is his last posthumously-released song. And yet it is an...

    If the order was reversed...

    The Zoom thing was what I was referring to. I thought it was Disney-sponsored. With the 2011 film, it is the highest grossing Muppet film, the first to actually win an Oscar, at the time it seemed like it would make the Muppets popular again, I feel like the general public is more familiar...

    Little things we've noticed

    Today I did my annual rewatch of A Muppet Family Christmas. I think I have noticed this a few years ago, but there are many rooms/parts of the house that get used in multiple scenes that until recently I had not noticed were the same room. I guess the rooms where The Electric Mayhem performs...

    If the order was reversed...

    Muppet Treasure Island seems to be getting more love this year, Disney has acknowledged the 25th anniversary (and yet they haven't really done anything to celebrate the current 10-year anniversary of the 2011 film).

    Sesame Street Classics HBO Max Rollouts

    Probably right. But there are other rare characters who I have less of a desire to see or have had less of a desire to see (Rockheads, Flo Bear, Professor D. Rabbit, Georgie, Granny Fanny Nestlerode… I want to say there’s another obscure classic character or two I don’t go out of my way to see...

    Sketches You Hated as a Kid

    Yeah, the one with Ernie showing his emotions is weird. The audience all seems to be annoyed with Ernie, and then they take it out on Bert because he's been doing all that talking (which wasn't particularly loud talking). And they start to take it out on Bert when everybody is laughing at the...

    Sesame Street Classics HBO Max Rollouts

    It also would have been nice to add more older ones considering what’s recently happened regarding uploads of old street stories. I know Muppet Wiki already had all these episodes fully guided, but are any of them episodes that previously could not be seen online or in fans tape...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I also feel like this past October went by slowly, or at least so much has happened this month that it feels longer than it should have been. Today I started wondering which question I should be asking - "at what point in history did it become common for video games to be as popular (or more...
