For the first time ever, the one Star Wars project that George Lucas himself is ashamed of, The Star Wars Holiday Special, is finally coming to DVD this November. Like with the various rereleases of the Star Wars movies, this release will have alteratiosn adn improvements, including...

Sesame Workshop has finally issued a press release regarding the upcoming season 42 of Sesame Street, which sounds like a shock. APRIL FOOLS!

Recently I've been thinking about when Zoot has talked and when he's talked less. 1975: He doesn't talk at all in his first appearance (though I can't remember if he sings back-up vocals with Floyd and Janice), though in Sex and Violence all of his scenes involve him playing the saxaphone...

Which of the two "Cookie Monster as Little Red Riding Hood" segments do you like better: The Sesame Street News segment or the Monsterpiece Theater segment? Here's the Sesame Street News segment...

Jim Henson's unsold "Wizard of Id" pilot is now available on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDeAuq44XKQ I'll post my thoughts on it later.

Looking at the design of Wontkins, I must wonder, did he have arms or legs? He appears to be sitting on the wall alot, which would imply legs... But then there's no visable arms. Arms would make sense, yet I don't think he's ever held anything with them (and they don't move via rods).

Usually, if a scene includes a plain black background, the main purpose for the black background is to hide performers dressed in black so that the characters can do something that would be hard to do without hiding the performers. But there have been times when a black background was used but...

Enjoy this outline for a Sesame Street special. I thought this up today, which is the main reason it's written in outline form. Street Scene The camera pans through Sesame Street, from the laundromat to Oscar's trash can, as various characters are shown wearing green and decorating the...

Who do you think are the hardest Muppets to draw? Now, I like to draw, but I'm not too good with proportions. I can usually get the basics of a character, but some are harder to draw than others. I feel it's hard to draw characters with beady eyes, or similar kinds of eyes (do Bean Bunny and...

I've been wondering, whenever a full-body shot of a Muppet is shown, do they usually build a version of the chracter with a whole body (legs, waiste, etc.), or do they just put legs onto the puppet (maybe by pinning or velcrowing the legs).

As far as I know, most of the Playhouse Video compilations included an instrumental version of the opening theme at the beginning, and the season five version of the closing theme at the end. But I know that some of the videos had different-sounding theme music. I saw he Kermit and Miss...

I thought I'd start a thread for "facts" about television shows and movies that are widely sourced, yet there seems to be something off about the facts, maybe some holes in the facts. Maybe the ones who provided the facts just made up or exaggerated parts of the facts to sound more interesting...

I thought I'd start a thread about VHS tapes. It seems like early VHS releases were more collector-friendly. For example, it seems like until the early 1990s video releases of classic animated shorts had more of the best-known shorts, while afterwards they seemed to be aimed more at kids...

Which of the two Monsterpiece Theater segments invovling stairs do you liek better, "Upstairs, Downstairs" or "The 39 Stairs"? Upstairs, Downstairs: http://www.sesamestreet.org/video_player/-/pgpv/videoplayer/0/c9a1d67f-154b-11dd-8ea8-a3d2ac25b65b/upstairs_downstairs The 39 Stairs...

Two of The Count's signature songs are The Song of the Count and The Batty Bat. The Song of the Count came out in season four, the season The Count made his debut, and seems to be the song most associated with the character for many years. Then The Batty Bat came out in season 17 and seems to be...

I haven't done a fan fic in awhile, so please enjoy this. It's my attempt at a Sesame Street "video" hosted by Murray Monster (aside from the fact that very few Sesame Street DVDs in the past years have had linking material, why hasn't Murray hosted any video releases?). Announcer: Ladies...

Two of Sesame Street's most celebrated songwriters are Joe Raposo and Jeff Moss. They have written several of the shows best songs. Many of their songs are known even by casual fans. But which of today's songwriters would you say are the modern equivielent to Joe and Jeff?

The 1999 documentary on Jim Henson that aired as part of CNN's "People Profile" series has been uploaded in four parts on YouTube. Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXVDYuaARa4 Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jSMXfJkbXw&feature=related Part 3...

I thought this might be a fun thread... Which late-1970s Kermit song do you like better, This Frog from 1977 or My Pollywog Ways from 1979? I feel both songs are a bit similar in some ways. They are both sung by Kermit and are both from the late-1970s, both seem like good songs to perform...
