    The "You know what?" thread

    In the recent Nostalgia Critic episode about Fox Kids, he mentions how the supporting cast in Taz-Mania were so well-spoken and talky, thinking it's ironic for a show about the Tasmanian Devil. I feel it would have been a bigger deal if the star was the Road Runner. But then I realized, in...

    Top 7 Lost SS Inserts

    He seems to think segments that haven't made their way online/in fan collections in English are lost, as opposed to just in storage (though I also feel he's worded some of it as saying Sesame Workshop isn't likely to have them released), but I found an old article saying that Sesame Workshop did...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    Well, I've had trouble finding the article in question, even with Google search, but tonight I found it, or an article like it: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20040421005198/en/Sesame-Workshop-Library-Including-35-Years-Sesame This article is from 2004, and I previously thought it was...

    The Muppets Take London

    I wonder how different this will be from The Muppets Take the Bowl. It'll probably have some of the same songs, but I wonder if it'll basically be the same, only with different guest stars and some other differences (perhaps they'll make it a bit British). It'll probably have Pigs in Space...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I recently read that Mel Brooks' first two films were box office bombs (according to TV Tropes), and his third, Blazing Saddles, was among the top five box office hits for the year it came out. I also read that Brooks' was given creative control and final say on how it turned out. Considering...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    So in the live-action/CGI Alvin and the Chipmunks movies, Dave Seville is the father/guardian of the Chipettes as well as the Chipmunks, and in The Road Chip, the Chipettes leave Dave and the Chipmunks to be judges on American Idol, mainly to keep them out of much of the plot I guess. And at...

    The "You know what?" thread

    The Sesame Street song segment "Proud to Be a Cow" begins with the opening theme music fading. I think I've seen people refer to it as being part of an episode as opposed to an insert, but I felt that was wrong (and figured it just opened one episode which explains the use of the theme there)...

    Gordon reads a 90s Sesame Street book!

    It seems the viral videos have heavily been incorporating things that have been featured less in recent seasons. Most of the shows recent parodies have been online-only, we got this as well as an appearance by Luis in one of those car commercials, and a number of these have been featuring...

    Theoretical Question: Should a new figure line focus on only variants?

    So it seems like we're close to the end of the figures from Diamond Select Toys, and I've been thinking today: Next time (if there is a next time) a toy company decides to do a Muppet toy line, should it focus exclusively on variants (or have variants before standard versions)? Palisades...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In Brewster's Millions, the title character has to spend a large sum of money within a small period of time to inherit a fortune, and several smaller conditions are put into the terms like not buying things to destroy, only being allowed to lose five percent gambling and only donate five...

    Push for "Sam and Friends" boxed figure set

    Maybe they could be souvenirs sold at any Henson-related museum exhibits.

    The "You know what?" thread

    Looking at some of the recently-added Sesame Street episode pages compiled thanks to "trusted sources", it seems like quite a few of the episodes chosen for included on iTunes' "Sesame Street Classics" releases had repeated street stories from two years earlier. This was the case with the...

    The "You know what?" thread

    When Harry Shearer joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in the fifth season, they didn't make an official announcement right away that he'd be a cast member (and he was announced as a "featured player" for his first month), when they began the "featured player" title and promoted many writers...

    Here's what I've picked in the days since my last post in this thread: Muppet Productions You Grew Up On: I listed practically everything I felt I "grew up on", many had to be in comment tweets.... But in the main tweet, I listed The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Muppet Babies...
