I was reading DW Mckim's blog today, and he mentioned an appearane by the Sesame Street cast on Donahue, where they were promoting the 25th anniversary. I have never heard of this appearance before, and Muppet Wiki doens't appear to have a page for the show. So, has anybody else (besides DW)...

I've been wondering, has Michael Earl ever been credited by his full name? He has said that he first went by Mike Davis, and then had to change it, and changed it to Michael Earl. I know that fans have referred to him that way, and I believe that his article on Muppet Wiki was titled Michael...

In Caroll Spinney's autobiography, he mentioned that during the break between the first two seasons of Sesame Street, Jim Henson didn't have any work for him. But as far as I know, The Great Santa Claus Switch was made before production on season two began. I wonder why Caroll wasn't asked to...

It has been sourced that Richard Hunt stopped performing the inside of Sweetums in the 1980s. I don't think it's known when, but there is a source that John Henson performed him sometime by 1987. However, I find it odd that there was a need to recast Sweetums. He was hardly used during the last...

Do networks usually have policies of how long the initial contracts for a show should last? Meaning that if a series is bought, would a network or production company normally order a certain number of episodes or seasons at first?

Enjoy this season 3 outline, suggested to me by kathy26. Cold Opening The two-headed whatnot can't believe that the show is having two guest stars. Introduction Kermit is pleased to announce that Frankie and Annette are the guest stars, and invites the viewers to a beach party...

I think it's a safe bet that the six most-remembered recurring non-Muppet segments on Sesame Street are Jim Hemnson's baker films, Jazz Numbers, Mad Painter, Typewriter, Pinball Number Count, and Teeny Little Superguy. Fans remember these and see them as classics, but do any of you think of any...

I have a few questions about Beauregard: 1. When did Beauregard stop wearing his white jacket? I know that he wore it at the start of season 4, and stopped by the end of that season. 2. Were there very many epsiodes where Beauregard was actually portrayed as a janitor? He was a janitor...

Enjoy the following fan fiction. Chapter 1 On one fine earth day on Sesame Street, the Sesame Street citizens were doing their part to take care of the planet. Big Bird was saving his used birdseed bags and using them as wash rags. Ernie was making toy boats out of empty drink bottles...

I thought that today would be a good time to post a fan fic like this. Prologue Kermit comes to the audience and says, "Hi ho, Kermit the Frog here. You know, earlier thisd ecade we Muppets made a movie called Muppets Underwater. At the time I thought it sounded like a good idea, but...

According to the Boom! Studios website, Boom! has gotten the rights to release a collection of Sesame Street comics, with many artists and writers attached to the project, including Roger Langridge, Mark Waid, Tim Beetle, and... get his... Joe Matheau. Like The Muppet Show Comic Book...

Enjoy this Sesame Street outline. Scene 1 Luis is at work at the Fix-It Shop, and Herry brings his toaster to get fixed (Herry had crushed it). While waiting for it to get fixed, Herry starts sneezing, and soon other characters start sneezing. Luis comments that there must be a cold going...

Okay, here's something I've been wondering for awhile, and I'm not sure how likely I'll get an answer (but maybe somebody who worked on the special will be interviewed for The MupetCast or Tough Pigs and be able to answer...). Anyway, at the end of The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, the...

Okay, in the Muppet Central interview with Steve Whitmire, Steve said that he started performing Ernie when some talking Ernie toys were being produced. Now, does anybody have any idea what toys he was referring to? I don't think I've ever seen any info on any such talking Ernie toys. It would...

Wouldn't it be great if near the end of the year Boom! Studios had there be a four-issue Muppet Show comic book where each issue celebrated a holiday? Issue 1 would be about halloween, issue 2 would be about thanksgiving, issue 3 would be about christmas, and issue 4 would be about new years...

There are a few segments that I recall seeing, maybe once each, but haven't seen them in a long time, and also haven't seen any info on Muppet Wiki. Does anybody remember them? One of them is a segment where a couple is driving, and the car breaks down, and Maria comes by with a gas can to...

I've been thinking for the last few weeks of an idea for a Muppet block and a few different series. Basically the idea would be to have four new Muppet shows, basically spin-offs, and shown either at the start or end of a two-hour Muppet television block which would also include three episodes...

I thought I'd start a thread about the season 2 segment The Magic Apple. For those who haven't seen the sketch, it's a story segment, with Bob reading and Ernie acting out the story with other characters. The story plot invovles a fairy godmother who offers to grant Ernie one wish, but Ernie has...

Lately, I've been wondering if The Jim Henson Company was desperate to sell the Muppets to Disney back in 2004. For one, I don't think we knew that the company was in talks with Disney regarding selling the characters. Of course, I don't know how common it is for such buyouts to be known about...
