I noticed that some of the long-running recurring Sesame Street sketches that used title cards had them replaced or modified over time. I will list the ones I know... SUPER GROVER 1973-1992 title card: The most well-known intro, where we start on a close up of the "G" shield as we zoom out...

I am surprised I didn't post on this forum about this video yet! Last summer I bought this Golden Book Video at a used video store called "Herbert the Timid Dragon and Other Tales." It's a lot like the Sesame Street Golden Book Videos. I wrote a RetroJunk article about it...

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Bugs-Bunny-Looney-Tunes-Comedy-Hour-Volume-6/10016 I'm so glad WB is going to put "Now Hear This" on this set! It's one of my all-time favorite Chuck Jones cartoons! I love the visual style and the sound effects. It was also the first LT short to use the...

Today I was at the Campanelli Stadium for a Brockton Rox baseball game with my brother. We had a lot of fun, including watching my old high school's principal and vice-principal participate in the "Sumo Wrestling" activity, and getting a goofy Rox hat and having it signed by the mascot, K-O the...

Someone uploaded the first episode of the long-lost "Muppets, Babies and Monsters" on Youtube! Here's Part 1... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVkvLJToU0k It also includes the Muppet Babies episode "Piggy's Hyper-Activity Book." And it surprised me how they used Muppet Babies background...

On the new episode "Papa Don't Leech," it had country singer Lureen Lumpkin singing to Kermit the Frog wearing a cowboy hat, and Miss Piggy got jealous and began fighting with Kermit! I added that info to Muppet Wiki! Well, just the description. Now we need an image...

I seem to be the only one that noticed that an unfortunate trend Hollywood's been doing since 2001 is doing CGI animated movies where the main characters are talking animals! These films often have celebrity/big name actors in the voice cast, crude "Ren and Stimpy"-style humor, pop songs...

Another entry in my Scooby-Doo/Muppet Babies crossover series, this one is "Decoy for a Dognapper." The voice cast includes the same cast from "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" and "Jim Henson's Muppet Babies," with Dave Coulier as Baby Animal and Baby Bunsen, and Frank Welker does quadruple-duty as...

The first entry of a series I plan on doing. This is a variation of the 1969 "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" episode "Mine Your Own Business," with the Muppet Babies appearing alongside the Scooby-Doo gang. I didn't do the whole episode, but I did some of the funniest scenes. Some of the Muppet...

I've noticed that over the years of the "Muppet Babies," one thing that has evolved was the closing credit sequence. There were many differences, and I will post the versions I know: SEASON ONE: The shortest of the closing sequences, it starts on the shot of Baby Kermit and Piggy as...

OK, ever since the "Upstairs, Downstairs" Monsterpiece Theater classic has been re-uploaded to Youtube, this has started an odd debate. JonnyTBird and a few others claim that it is from 1978 and the first Monsterpiece Theater made, according to the packaging of an Alistair Cookie doll...

I have a question about a particular "Muppet Babies" opening title sequence: I know the one commonly seen on Youtube (starts with Baby Rowlf on the piano, Fozzie on the rocking horse, etc.) was from the first and second seasons, but when did THIS opening first be put into use...

OK, so tonight I went over to a baseball game at the nearby minor-league baseball stadium (the team is the Brockton Rox). As one of the themes for this night's Family Fun Night, it was MUPPET NIGHT! During intervals after an in-game promotion and before an inning (or half-inning) started...

Yesterday at my college they were upgrading the fire alarms in one of the buildings, and that got me thinking... I've noticed "Sesame Street" has never done a fire drill segment AT ALL. I mean "Arthur" did one, and... I don't know any other shows that did so. Maybe Baby Bear or Abby Cadabby...

I'm sure some of you know that back in 1959, Ross Bagdasarian (a.k.a. David Seville) performed "The Chipmunk Song" with puppet versions of the Chipmunks created by Bob Clampett. With this fanfic, this is what it'd be like if the Jim Henson Company took a stab at doing their own version of "The...

As a tie-in to my "Sesame Street Horror Special," I made a little video clip that will only be on Youtube for a short time (I might remove it by the end of August, then move it to Google Video). It is a parody of the Muppet Babies episode "Is There a Muppet in the House?" and the movie Rowlf...

At long last! An update to my Muppet tale of terror. For those of you who are just joining in, I will recap the previous parts. In this "Mysterious Theater" installment hosted by Vincent Twice, Herry Monster was watching a scary movie with his friends Big Bird, Elmo, Grover and Telly when he...

Am I the only one who noticed something they changed with Hoots the Owl in recent years? It seems that they changed Hoots's eyes! The original version of Hoots (1985-2001 version) had these realistic owl-like eyes that looked really cute...

I just saw a Sesame Street reference on "The Simpsons" tonight! They had a blue sweatshirt with Big Bird killing Elmo!

OK, today I saw Episode 4129 of "Sesame Street." It was a slight improvement over the 2004 episode I saw. I also got to see the full version of the current opening theme. It is basically another remix of the old "Sesame Street" intro but with more instruments, and of course, including the...
