In The Simpsons episode "Who Shot Mr. Burns Part 1", when Burns gets shot, that must have taken place either on a weekend or school holiday, since there's actually a town council meeting before 3PM. Don't know whether it's unusual to have town hall meetings in the early afternoon, maybe it's...

I've kinda been wanting to know a bit more about the early history of Nick News. I looked at the wikipedia page but couldn't find the info I'm looking for (I also saw that the show was produced by Lucky Duck Productions, saw there's an official website but since business closed there's just a...

I've seen some examples of Sesame Street episode scripts. I've seen some examples online, and the 40th anniversary book has pages from some of the scripts. But I've hardly seen scripts for just the inserts. I think the 40th anniversary book actually has a page for a script to a segment with...

It's interesting that, while Roosevelt Franklin was pretty much only there in the 1970s, all video sources we have for the Headball segments come from 1980s episodes (of course, the English copy of the Hard Head Henry Harris one comes from an audio recording but fans already had a video dubbed...

Although I know this was a dream Telly had, I feel it would have been more fitting for Little Jerry to have been one of the ones to invite her to the dance, since Gina was a big Little Jerry fan. And Jerry Nelson performed the Genie here, so it's not like he was unavailable to perform the...

It seems like a lot of the blocked stuff is unblocked (though there's still some exceptions). Back in 2008, Sesame Workshop asked on Facebook for fans to nominate clips for the 40th anniversary DVD set. I don't know what the chances would be that SW would ask fans to nominate clips for...

I've recently noticed that the various Pixar sequels have come out almost a decade (or more) after the first (or previous). In fact right now it seems we're in a period where most Pixar movies are sequels - we just recently got Finding Dory, Cars 3, and now The Incredibles 2, and Toy Story 4 is...

I wonder if they could release the various pre-2008 film and animation inserts on Blu-ray. They were shot on film but would have been mastered on tape, but there's got to still be existing film copies somewhere. Though I have a feeling that the negatives/film prints would be in storage for the...

I'm surprised that there still hasn't been a Follow That Bird Blu-ray now. Elmo in Grouchland I'm a little less surprised, though I could see Sony doing that (since Sony did release the first Blu-rays of Muppet movies). Next year would be the 20th anniversary of Elmo in Grouchland, that would...

Last night I dreamt I was in an attic at some office associated with Sesame Street or Sesame Workshop, the attic had a few Sesame Street things. They had Miss Finche's car from Follow That Bird, and I can't really remember what other props/set pieces/vehicles... But they also had some VHS tapes...

Well, after all these months of no new announcements, there's finally going to be a new Sesame Street DVD, Elmo's World: Elmo Explores. And according to Amazon (which I checked after seeing it pointed out in editing history at Muppet Wiki), it'll be released by Shout! Factory, though I haven't...

With a lot of the old school songs that have not been released in audio form, if they were to do it now, they'd either have to do the original audio track from the show or have to have new performers rerecord the songs as the characters (I wonder if having current recasts record new versions of...

I've seen that some segments that were blocked have become unblocked. Not all segments that were blocked (unless some were voluntarily removed or made private), though. During this time, I had been thinking about how a lot of great songs have never been released on an album, made a couple top...

Just because the reviews are awful doesn't mean it's an awful movie. It's normal for movies that get many bad reviews from professional critics to do well and be very well-liked by the general public (of course, just because it does super-well at the box office also doesn't mean it's that good)...

Interestingly, while a number of inserts where the same audio appeared on an audio release were taken down, it seems they haven't taken down videos that are taken from the audio release (with stills or lyrics or blank backgrounds or whatever).

It seems like Muppet Wiki has pages for almost every episode of Sesame Street I remember seeing as a kid back in the late-1980s and early-1990s. There's not many left that I haven't found a page with info on (and the episodes could have pages without mentioning certain episode details I...

On Three's Company, Jack had a lot of girlfriends and dates. Anybody recall if he ever told any of them that he couldn't let his landlord know he was straight? I often assumed he did so his dates would be careful if the landlord was around, but in thinking about it, I really don't recall for...

On Three's Company, I like Teri better than Chrissy.

There are movies I really like that it seems many (at least when it comes to "online people") really hate: It's Pat Master of Disguise (it seems whenever I talk to people I actually know - particularly ones still in high school or recently graduated - they like it, but everyone who talks about...

Been thinking about some things that would be cool for Muppet Wiki regarding it's Sesame Street guides. For a few weeks, I thought it'd be cool to start pages (maybe sandbox pages) listing all known first appearances of inserts. It'd probably take a bit of time, but would be cool to have...
