Regardless of whether it's the same quality, dumbed down, better, whatever, it's still a bit odd. Many big franchises have had movies, specials, and so on, there have been many revivals in considerably different styles (for better or worse). Heck, it would have been great if, following the end...

I've been thinking about this quite a bit recently, but it seems like while the show was a big hit and has had merchandise and such, it seems like it's not that big, maybe even more underground than the Muppets (though maybe more "cult"). It seems the characters haven't really been in much else...

I feel like The Goldberg's is starting to get away from the 1980s. There was recently an episode called 1990-Something which was meant to be a backdoor pilot, and on last night's episode, Adam says that Dave Kim has Super Mario Bros., which came out in North America in 1990.

Recently, I've watched the Lamb Chop's Play-Along theme online. I watched it in a video of a full episode and as a stand-alone clip, and noticed in both that there's a different bridge section with Shari Lewis sings encouraging people to do certain activities. In one she encourages the viewers...

Can't decide if this is more appropriate here or on the "what's the deal with...?" thread, but tonight I was on Netflix, I searched a few names, and saw several titles listed, basically saying "search titles related to (insert actor or crew member here)". Including many titles that I definitely...

Considering it was always produced by Sesame Workshop, I wonder how much video footage from Sesame Street the JHC Archives has copies of (it seems like they do have copies of a lot of guest appearances owned by other companies, so maybe they do have copies of the show). I'd be willing to bet...

One thing I've been curious about is, before this was even shot, how close were Frank Oz and Bill Barretta? I've heard about Frank referring to Bill as "the new guy", but it seems they didn't work together on many projects. Most of the major productions the two worked on (Muppet Treasure Island...

A lot of fictional dinosaur characters are green. Earl, Fran, Robbie, and Charlene Sinclair. Godzilla (I think... haven't seen any Godzilla things in a long time, but I think he's green and not a different dark color). Baby Bop. Ducky and Spike from The Land Before Time. Pterri from Pee-wee's...

I saw a comment somewhere on Facebook that Steve Whitmire is not mentioned in the documentary, which if true is kinda sad. But considering they cut nine hours down to just 65 minutes, there's surely a lot of important stuff discussed that don't show up in the final cut (I guess we'll find out...

I haven't purchased it yet. Anybody know if you have to use a credit card to purchase the download or if you can use a debit card or prepaid credit card? I don't mind paying, though I'd really rather pay if it was a DVD/Blu-ray, movie ticket, or iTunes download. Also, anyone know if you can...

I think this is the original theatrical trailer for The Muppets Take Manhattan, though it appears to be in fullframe instead of widescreen (would a theatrical trailer be in fullframe?), and it seems the person who uploaded it added in the Jim Henson Pictures logo (which didn't exist at the time...

I wonder if that phone "breaking up" when "the camel" is asked about was planned by Oz and Tough Pigs before the interview (as in, they expected that to happen) or if that's his way of avoiding things he doesn't want to talk about (maybe the documentary sheds some light on that, Tough Pigs...

The four surviving performers from the documentary have been having video chat conversations recorded and put online, and I've thought of two things that would have made for great opportunities with this: 1. Talk about productions that have come out since the film was made (since they clearly...

This week the website is having coverage on Muppet Guys Talking, including an interview with Frank Oz (which isn't on the site yet, but a different interview with Mr. Oz is on Tough Pigs now).

Among the bonus features in the first Back to the Future DVD set is a list of frequently asked questions, with one being "if Griff is Biff's grandson, why don't we meet his son?", with the response "since we never learn Griff's last name, how do you know Griff's mother wasn't Biff's daughter?"...

Wow, I've had "Right Where I Belong" on my mind quite a bit lately, because I got a few more things I've noticed.... Kermit sings the song in the dressing room right before they go on stage and sing it, but by then there's a bit of a change in the lyrics. There's an entire verse changed. In...

A running gag in The Muppets Take Manhattan is that Kermit would describe Manhattan Melodies and start breaking into the opening song before getting interrupted, the first time Janice is there to provide a guitar riff, making it sound a little more like a ragtime song, as Kermit sings "Look at...

In UHF, RJ Fletcher tries to sabotage George's telethon to raise money to save the station by kidnapping Stanley Spadowsi. But since Stanley was responsible for the station finally getting decent ratings and saving the station before, did it ever occur to RJ to maybe make him an offer to host a...

Another clip with Oscar and Bruno that I wonder about in terms of whether it's an insert or part of a street story is one that was available at sesamestreet.org, it doesn't seem to be there anymore (and I haven't seen it on YouTube), listed as "Everybody Knocks", where Oscar had several trash...

The two Sesame Street disco albums have songs that seem to be their theme for the album. Sesame Fever has the self-titled Sesame Street Fever.... And Sesame Disco has The Happiest Street in the World.... Though in the latters case, The Happiest Street in the World is not the opening...
