I've been thinking about this quite a bit lately, and maybe I am thinking too much, but does anybody else wonder if maybe the MuppeTelevision segments of The Jim Henson Hour are what TV Tropes calls an "old shame" to The Jim Henson Company? There's the fact that aside from Clifford hardly any...

Time for another of my "vs" threads! Which song do you prefer, "The Hello Hello Hello Song" or "Big Hello 1-20"? Both songs are sung by Big Bird and the cast on Sesame Street, both are from season 12, and both are about saying hello. And both songs are very catchy as well. I prefer the "Big...

I haven't done any "vs" threads in quite awhile, but I thought I'd do one for two Grover songs with very similar titles, "Proud of Me" and "I Am Proud of Me". Both songs are sung by Grover, and both are about being proud. "Proud of Me" is perhaps more better-known, as it's been included on...

Enjoy this ficticious Muppet Sing-Along video, themed around Muppet Babies but hosted by adult Kermit (and as a result sort of disrupts Muppet cannon). "Hi, ho, Kermit the Frog here. You know, I've been thinking back to when me and all my friends were babies. We all lived together in a...

Enjoy this fan fic, centering around Gaffer! This story is dedicated to the memory of Jerry Nelson (though none of his characters will be particularly prominient in this story). Chapter 1 Kermit went on-stage to introduce yet another installment of The Muppet Show. “Welcome again to...

In Caroll Spinney's autobiography, he talks about doing a series of concerts based around Big Bird conducting. In fact he devotes an entire chapter to them. And recently Copper Pot Pictures has uploaded a couple of clips from what I assume is an Austrailian TV broadcast (I wasn't aware one was...

Enjoy this new fan fic. Chapter 1 Biff and Sully were at work one day, doing their usual job. “Alright, Sully”, said Biff, “let’s get to work!” Biff started his jackhammer, but it went out of control. “SULLYYYYY!!! HEEELLLPPPPP!” Biff ended up crashing into a lamppost. “Oh...

Enjoy this all-new Sesame Street fan fic. Chapter 1 One day Big Bird and Cookie Monster were heading to Hooper’s Store. “I can’t wait until we get there”, said Big Bird, “I sure can’t wait to try the new peanut butter birdseed granola bars.” “And me can’t wait to try Alan’s new super...

In "Down at Fraggle Rock" it's said that there were video monitors inside the heads of the Gorgs, which Henson called "Gorg vision". But I wonder, were there ever any other full-body Henson creations that had monitors inside the heads? I know that some characters (Big Bird, Bear, Thog) had...

Who all is a fan of the old Nickelodeon series Salute Your Shorts? I really liked the show. I recently found that a limited number of episodes are on iTunes. While many Nickelodeon shows are available on iTunes in season sets, Salute Your Shorts is on iTunes in "volumes" (while the episode...

When you were a kid, when watching shows you liked, were there any episodes that you really liked, but it felt like the episode wasn't broadcast often, to the point that whenever you did see the episode, it felt like an event? Maybe the episode itself wasn't rare, or there was no reason for it...

Anybody ever notice how the first Kermit with a collar, as seen in Hey Cinderella, has a green collar? I don't think this is noted on Muppet Wiki, but Ive always noticed the color on the collar when watching Hey Cinderella. But when watching various Sesame Street season one segments it seems the...

Lately I've been a little addicted to the TV Tropes website. Anyway, there's one trope, "Old Shame", which refers to works where people involved are ashamed, sometimes to the point of trying to hide them from the fans. In the "film" section for Old Shame, which can be found here...

Today I was at Goodwill and found a copy of Getting Ready for School. And I was surprised to see the Time-Life Video logo on the sides of the box. I had no idea that Time-Life released Sesame Street videos, particularly those that were sold in stores. Aside from the Time-Life logo on the...

Enjoy this fan fic, in which the Sesame Street cast teams up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Imagine the turtles being the versions from the first two movies, even if they seem to have their animated personalities. Chapter 1 It was an ordinary day on Sesame Street. The Count was...

I thought about starting a thread about Nick at Nite and TV Land. Maybe I will start one some day...:crazy: Okay, I'll start now. The two channels used to be really great (and to be fair Nick at Nite still has good programming, though I don't watch the channel as much as I used to). When Nick...

Chapter 1 Rowlf and Baskerville were having lunch at the canteen of the Muppet Theater. "I'll have an order of Purina Dog Chow", said Rowlf. "I'll also have Purina Dog Chow", said Baskerville, "that and some asparagus." "Two Purina Dog Chows and asparagus!", shouted Gladys. "I...

I was reading on the Sesame Workshop blog that Sesame Workshop plans to stop targeting the show at pre-preschool children and focus more directly at the older audiences -- teens, adults, and fans like us! Since season 43 was produced at the same time as season 42, it'll still air as planned...

I'd like to talk a little bit about the Follow That Bird songs "All Together Now" and "Working on my Attitude". Both of these songs are sung by groups or singers, as opposed to Muppets or cast members. And while they appear in the film, they are barely heard. Anybody got any idea why these...

Enjoy this episode of "The Muppets After The Muppets". Act 1 It was the day of the big carnival, and Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Camilla, Rizzo, Pepe, Rowlf, Lew Zealand, Walter, and Scooter all went for a fun time. “This is such an exciting time”, said Fozzie. “I hope to eat a...
