When Lefty tried to sell Ernie a number 8 but Ernie couldn't afford one, he offered to trade one of his 9s - "it'll remind you of when the ninth of August is".

It seems like The Great Muppet Caper and The Muppet Christmas Carol were both made in a short amount of time. Movies tend to take a long time to develop, yet these both seem to have taken just two years before their releases. Jim Henson wanted to do The Dark Crystal after The Muppet Movie...

I've been looking for this for years, and how appropriate that I find it today on Memorial Day (and I saw that it has been online since last November, I should have tried harder): Promos for Nickelodeon's Muppet Mania marathon which aired Memorial Day 1993. This special had the...

Most of The Countesses have been girlfriends/love interests for The Count, but Countess Dahling von Dahling is The Count's fifth cousin instead. Now that Muppet Wiki has full guides for all of season 12, I've checked "what links here" on the character and found that, for season 12, The Count and...

Didn't think the promo would come out so soon after the announcement (especially when we have to wait three months).

Well, Muppet Wiki now has full guides for every season 12 episode. It looks like only one Warren Wolf segment aired in season 12. If not for that one season 12 press release listing him among many new characters for the season I probably wouldn't care so much. I wonder if there were more that...

Mine from the past week: Day 20: Best puppetry trick: Gonzo on the balloons (The Muppet Movie). Day 21: Favorite character from The Dark Crystal or Labyrinth: Hoggle. Day 22: Favorite parody starring the classic Muppets: Tales from the Vet (a lot of people picked things that I wouldn't really...

I think it was said that Shout! plans to put out at least four a year, and so far this year it seems they're doing one every three months (of course the two releases from 2018 came out closer, and the first release from this year was released close to those). So if Dance Party comes out in...

These pop-up videos list the original air dates*, but it would be cool if they would list the taping dates or even production code numbers. But I wonder if they're mainly looking at Muppet Wiki for info or if they're going into their own archival information. One thing I thought would be cool...

Considering Muppet Wiki now has complete guides for most of seasons 20-present, plus complete guides for seasons 10, 11, and 13, I figure that if the wiki currently doesn't list an episode number for a segment known to have debuted in the 1980s, or if the wiki finds an unknown segment from that...

The next release is called Dance Party, which will be two hours of segments about dancing. It'll include the bonus video Elmo's Music Magic (I would have chosen Dance Along or Zoe's Dance Moves). Judging from the description and listing of confirmed celebrity guests, it looks like it'll all...

Yesterday the wiki added a guide for episode 1553, which has Big Bird realizing that he and Buffy hadn't spent much time together during her stay on the street this season, and Big Bird suspected it's because she's been staying in Oscar's can and he doesn't spend much time with Oscar. Could this...

In Sesame Street: A Celebration - 40 Years of Life on the Street, there's pages of a proposal Christopher Cerf wrote up listing celebrities he hoped could be included in the celebrity version of Put Down the Duckie. It's at least two pages long, probably more celebrities than they could have...

At the end of Brewster's Millions (the 1985 version), when the deadline is almost up and it looks like Brewster will lose the challenge and inheritance, he's about to sign some papers, indicating that he doesn't get anything. But why is he signing it? Would it make any difference if he didn't...

In the first four seasons of The Simpsons, the shows animation was provided by Klashy-Csupo. Around the time that the Simpson's made a cameo in the Sesame Street song Monster in the Mirror, Klasky-Csupo was animating segments for Sesame Street. I wouldn't be surprised if the company animated The...

When it says there'll be "a cooking show, a game show, and a talk show", will they all appear within the ten minute episodes, or will they be like a rotating schedule of format? Which could be neat, but with it being referred to as a variety format, that all seems limiting in terms of "variety"...

In The Empire Strikes Back, both Yoda and the force ghost of Obi Wan Kenobi warn Luke against fighting Darth Vader to save his friends, worried that Darth might turn Luke to the dark side. But now I wonder if they were really discouraging Luke because they suspected Darth Vader would reveal that...

I didn't realize until the favorite Grover song and/or sketch day that they put "and/or" for bot Grover and Cookie Monster, meaning we could list a song and sketch. My picks for the past week: Day 13: Best Statler and Waldorf joke: "We'd love to see your act!"/"in fact we'd hate to miss your...

I also posted this in the top ten anything thread, but I've compiled a list of top ten episodes I'd recommend checking out if the main purpose to watch is for wiki research. There's things from the guides I wonder and there's things I've seen people mention that happen in certain scripts. 10...

Recommended episodes to look at when every Sesame Street episode is digitized for public viewing, mainly for those who might want to go and watch episodes more for the sake of editing Muppet Wiki. 10. Early episodes with Irvine – some scripts call her Irving, was that name used in the actual...
