I dreamt that the Muppets were in National Lampoon's Vacation, along with the Griswalds. It was just Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, and Beaker (maybe also Camilla, maybe also Pepe). And there was some scene on a basketball stadium where Beaker was with a bunch of bald guys with glasses and...

Itzhak Perlman and Oscar in concert: The full "King Banishes the Letter P": I didn't share the links here in case they came from the episodes on HBO Max (even though "what links here" shows that they don't), I don't feel right drawing attention to rare clips in those episodes that fans have...

Recently I've found some rare clips that have surfaced somehow. I've looked at "what links here", and it looks like they're not in any of the HBO Max episodes, but I also haven't seen them posted to Muppet Wiki's Facebook or Twitter (and haven't seen links on the appropriate wiki pages, if the...

Was looking at the Wally and Ralph page on the wiki to see if they did new material in seasons 4 and 5 (or if they just repeated their bits in those seasons). I realize that the wiki does not yet have guides for all of seasons 4 and 5, but it looks like only two segments aired past season 3...

I think fans thought Roxy Marie was meant to replace Sully, and I guess I thought she debuted in season 24 instead of 23, but it is interesting they added her while Richard Hunt was still around, but I guess they knew Richard Hunt didn't have much time left and were already preparing. David...

This sounds like an awesome episode, Uncle Wally makes up a friend similar to Mr. Snuffleupagus, though he's intentionally playing around and trying to fool the others. I wonder if this was the first Wally heard of Snuffleupagus. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2014 The wiki also has...

Probably not meant to be either (the Fat Blue Muppet was often dressed identically to Mr. Johnson in a lot of early sketches, where he's performed by Jim Henson, but people at Muppet Wiki determined that's not supposed to be him). If it was supposed to be Simon Soundman, they'd probably have him...

They were previously able to clear Bill Cosby's appearances for Noggin (not sure if there were clearance issues for Noggin), Old School Volume 1, and some of the iTunes episodes, so probably not clearance issues.

When You Wish Upon a Pickle was supposed to be released on DVD on the same day as the digital release, then was pushed to July 7, so it's still not available? I'm guessing the pandemic led to it being delayed, not sure if that's been the case with other DVDs or not.

Previously, I was thinking Mark Hamil and Carol Burnett were the only guest stars who appeared as both themselves and a character, with the two presented as two separate characters (as opposed to them playing themselves as a character in a sketch), but now I remember that John Denver appeared as...

Muppet Wiki reports that each song will be accompanied by three different clips, so I don't think any song clips will be truly uncut (though it seems to primarily be recent song videos created for YouTube), so I doubt there'll be any full Elmo the Musical clips (maybe songs from the segments).

A trailer for Monster Hits: Rock and Rhyme with Elmo. It looks like what I expected yet also looks more disappointing (how is that possible?).

And yet the other Sesame Street characters got to appear in plenty of commercial products and merchandise with no problem.

I used to think Kermit didn't appear in much Sesame Street merchandise because I used to think that both Henson and Sesame Workshop co-owned the Sesame Street characters until 2000 and maybe Henson didn't want their fully owned character in Sesame Workshop merchandise. But I think it might be...

The packaging on that mask does not say which character it is, so maybe somebody put a Kermit mask in the wrong box (is it pictured on the back?).

I like that we now know who performed the X in "How I Miss My X". I had been wondering about that back when the 50th anniversary DVD was released, and I'd suspected it was either Kevin Clash (who it was), Richard Hunt, or Martin Robinson.

Last night I dreamt that there was a Sesame Workshop employee who was also one of us, who had access to rare episodes and clips, and actually was allowed to share anything from Sesame Workshop online. I didn't make any requests for him on what I wanted to see, and I actually didn't see other...

I know. I had been wondering if they'd just acquired more documents than before, but I guess it doesn't really matter.

It seems like the trusted sources now include info on who all performed in certain segments. Not sure if these are newly-acquired documents (maybe call sheets) or if that info had been there all along and their just now adding info, but it is neat to see who all performed in sketches such as Do...

I've been surprised to hear that some of the episodes this season did not air in high definition. I thought basically everything was shot in high definition these days, why present it only in standard definition (and is it difficult to convert to standard definition if it was shot in HD?). I...
