    Frank Oz's appearances throughout his later seasons

    Thinking about how at least four Monsterpiece Theater intros were changed, I've been thinking it was season 23, but I wonder if I am wrong. I remember years ago, the Muppet Wiki page for the season 23 premiere had a note about that broadcast of Gone with the Wind, a note that was later...

    Anyone remember the "Join Us" song?

    Listening to the song, I feel like I'm listening to Brak from Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and The Brak Show.

    Frank Oz's appearances throughout his later seasons

    Looking at the numbers I posted, I'd like to show my work. Now in some of the segments, Frank is probably just doing the voice, and some might have been produced in one season but broadcast the next. Season 20 - 16 As Bert: Ernie counts zero fruits, Cave Person Days: Inventing the Window...

    Frank Oz's appearances throughout his later seasons

    There was mention that season 17 might be the first season without any new Frank Oz material, but is there any firsthand evidence that Jim, Frank, Jerry, and Richard did any new material during the period when season 12 was in production? Of course there was a lot of newly-broadcast material...

    Anyone remember the "Join Us" song?

    I wonder if she would have forgotten working with Jim on the show. If it stood out to her that they didn't work together, should the memory of him working with her just once stand out in her memory (and they did work together on other productions)? And if her memory is correct, then it is sad...

    RIP Regis Philbin

    These days, Toughpigs tends to do articles on the death of pretty much every celebrity who has worked with the Muppets before. It said in that article that Regis Philbin holds the world record for appearing in the most hours of television. I wonder how that could really be proven (and does...

    Kermit in Sesame Street merchandise

    Another thing interesting is that when Palisades Toys put out the Muppet figures, they initially were not allowed to make a reporter Kermit because it was more associated with Sesame Street, and eventually were allowed as long as he wore his hat (and I can't remember if Planet Koozebane...

    Anyone remember the "Join Us" song?

    I don't think I'm as good as identifying performer movements as other people here and at Toughpigs (though I have speculated some things), but I did feel there was something familiar about that keyboardists movements. I did start wondering if maybe Come Join Us was shot in season 11 and held...

    Anyone remember the "Join Us" song?

    Wow, a season 12 segment with four Muppets, clearly four performers, and the trusted documents the wiki has been using to track performers in various segments only lists three performers - Brian Meehl, Michael Earl, and Karen Prell. I've heard that those docs aren't complete, but I wonder who...

    The "What Commercial was that?!" Thread

    I'm remembering a commercial from around 2000-2002. It was for either a computer or an electronics store. A boy is shown offering trades with friends that they all rejects, they have something a lot more fun and desirable than he does. One of his offers is "I'll trade you this newspaper for...

    Kermit in Sesame Street merchandise

    Just yesterday I was thinking about how there's been so many different talking Sesame Street toys, and I started trying to think of if there's ever been any talking Muppets toys, and I couldn't really think of any - and the only talking Kermit plush I know of is also the only Kermit toy released...

    Questions about anything

    Was looking at the TV Tropes page for The Little Rascals, and saw this listed as "stealth insult" for the 1994 film: Waldo's dad (played by Donald Trump) tells Waldo he's the best son money can buy, while Waldo takes it as a sincere compliment. So what is the insult there? It's the only scene...

    Little things we've noticed

    It seems like Roosevelt Franklin was used the most reguarly/frequently after Matt Robinson stepped down from his role as Gordon. In the first season, he had three songs, in the second season, he had Roosevelt Franklin Spells His Name, and I can't think of any other real notable appearances he...

    Dealbreaker TV Characters

    I don't know. I tend to see the later (and not-so-good) episodes more often than the early (and much better) ones.

    Dealbreaker TV Characters

    While I prefer the early years of M*A*S*H over the later years, I do prefer Winchester over Burns. Frank Burns comes off as the kind of boss I would not want to have, or the kind of bossy employee who's not the boss but gets his way too much.

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I was just about to share the link to Dexter's debut! Oh well, here's another guide, Oscar and Bruno hear the story of Snow White. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2030 I remember somebody talking about this on the forum (either this one or Toughpigs) a long time ago, saying that...

    Little things we've noticed

    I had noticed that Sully appeared a few times in seasons 24-26 but not that many (and as a kid back in 1994, I thought he was being used more), while Biff appeared without him a lot more. But looking at episodic appearances, I was surprised to see that Biff also didn't appear at all in seasons...

    Questions about anything

    Today I was watching the Laurel and Hardy short The Music Box, and at the beginning, it says that they put together all of their money - $3.20 - and started a business. With inflation, was this considered a joke back in 1932? It seems humorous that they would spend that much to start a...

    And now that we know there's one with Ernie, I am really hoping that there was one with Bert and the monsters. It would also be amazing to learn if there was one where the characters actually spoke.
