I thought I'd start a thread about the song D-U-C-K-I-E. Here's a youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDXwz-7D6e4 Anyway, the song is a bit catchy, but seems underrated. It's likely the least popular of the Rubber Duckie songs. Unless there's another that we just don't know about...

There's a habit that I have when I talk to people, and I was wondering if any of you have this habit as well. Obviously, we all have things we're fans of that other people we know aren't as big fans of. So, when having a conversation about something... Let's say Muppets... Anyway, when...

I have been wondering quite a few things about television writing, especially recently. Recently in the "Ask Jim Lewis" thread Jim said he always figured the writing for the show was a group effort, and said it was that way on Muppets Tonight. I commented on my confusion over this, having...

I thought I'd start a thread about this sketch, listed as "Bring Your Own Can Night" on the 40th anniversary DVD, but otherwise doesn't appear to have anything to do with the title. The plot involves Oscar and Bruno going to a place called the "Cha Cha Palace". At the beginning the voices...

Apparantly, Ruthie was still a part of the cast in season 30, even though "Around the Corner" was dropped. It's mentioend in the 40th anniversary book, there is a season 30 cast photo with her (the only time I can recall seeing her and Alan together), and she was in teh credits for season 30...

I haven't actually seen the full episode 2096. The full street scene where the adults meet Snuffy is on youtube (featuring more than what the 40th anniversary DVD included), and looked a tthe Muppet Wiki page, and there are a few things I noticed, that sort of struck me odd... First, in the...

It was announced at the golden age cartoons forum that there'll be two new Looney Tunes DVds released in april, I think on the 27th but I could be wrong about the date. Both include only cartoons not available on past "Golden Collection" sets, and are themed around Bugs and Daffy (I forget the...

Has anybody noticed how there seems to be a lot of info on Matt Robinson and Roscoe Orman, yet not much on Hal Miller? Not counting the test pilot Gordon, it seems like Hal is treated like a "middle child" of sorts. Most official publications on Sesame Street talk less about him than the other...

During the first season, Jim Henson was credited as a Muppet performer. And then for several seasons, he was pretty much uncredited, though the performers credits did say "Puppets by Jim Henson's Muppets" (I guess it's debatable whether that would/ should count as a performer credit... I don't...

Something has kind of hit me today... Many of the videos made especially for youtube are either comedy, blogs/ reviews, or video of animals. But does anybody know if there have been any original dramas made especially for youtube, either as one-shots or series of videos? I'm not really...

Enjoy this fan fiction outline of what would make a good video. Scene 1 Murray runs around Sesame Street, passing around invitations to his birthday... which is TODAY! Everybody is excited, but then they realise something: They don't know Murray very well, and they don't know what would...

I don't think we've ever had a thread like this before... One that disucsses segments that could have and probably were made on the same day. This is probably true about many inserts using recurring sketches and sets... The performers and puppets are already there, and the sets are already...

There's a great Christmas song that I keep hearing on the radio, but I don't know the title. The most common line is "Christmas", but I'm not sure if that is the title, and I can't tell who the singer is (I want to say a young Michale Jackson, but feel like that's wrong). A line from the...

Does anybody happen to know whether Cookie Monster has ever gotten angry? I've seen him show other emotions (happy, sad, nervous, fear), but never anger. I'm a bit surprised that there hasn't been a sketch where he gets angry over not getting a cookie or something.

(Murray is on the street) Murray: Hi, I'm Murray from Sesame Street, and I'd like to know, what's the word on the street? Grouch Passer-By: Scram! Murray: What does "scram" mean? Grouch Passer-By: Get lost! Murray: Oh. Grouch Passer-By #2: Actually, the word on the street should be...

(the residents of both Sesame Street and Grouchland are both hanging out on Sesame Street. Party decorations are everywhere) Elmo: Oh, hi. Elmo is so glad you are here. Today, we are celebrating the tenth anniversary of The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, Elmo's one and only movie. The...

Kermit, Gonzo, Rizzo, Fozzie, Miss Piggy, Animal, Pepe, Scooter, Rowlf, Floyd, Bunsen, Beaker, Clifford, Janice, and Sweetums were all gathered in the living room of the boarding house. Kermit: Well, it's been ten years since our last theatrically-released film, Muppets From Space. Pepe...

According to the holiday listings in my local paper, It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie will air on WGN this year, on the 20th at 6pm, and on december 25th at am.

Something hit me recently. I realised that I don't think I've ever heard any songs where the lead singer was performed by Joey Mazzarino. And offhand I don't really know of any where he performs anybody who sings a few lines. In Elmo in Grouchland Bug makes a few comments during te "Make It...

I've recently noticed that in the 1970s and 1980s, Mr. Johnson always sat at a table in front of the doors at Charlie's Restaurant, but by the 1990s, he started sitting at a different table, closer to the wall to the right side of the door, and not in front. Does anybody have any idea on...
