Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
Nothing like kicking off Thanksgiving with me and my dad reminiscing how NBC used to actually care about the Macy's parade balloons and floats, compared to today where they virtually ignore them in favor of the Radio City Rockettes and such! You gotta tune to CBS to get decent coverage of those...
Pretty cool! I also find it neat how they had Marvin the Martian wear his green suit and gold helmet that he had in "Hare-Way to the Stars" and "Mad as a Mars Hare". His costume was probably the most on-model out of all the Looney Tunes.

Yeah, in many cases I find masks to be more effective than makeup. Though I've seen numerous Halloween safety guides for kids advise against wearing masks and recommend makeup, but in most cases they are talking about those cheap plastic face masks for children, the kind often included in those...
With Halloween coming, I thought I'd share my latest cosplay, the title character of the 1952 Merrie Melodies cartoon "The Turn-Tale Wolf!"
The head is a vintage vinyl rubber "Bad Wolf" mask made by French mask company Cesar from the 80s to the 2000s. Cesar made some of the best vinyl masks in...
Heh, I like how I even heard them use the classic Castle Thunder sound effect like the original Disneyland Haunted Mansion (the Disney World Magic Kingdom version replaced it with new thunder sound effects as part of the 2007 renovation), and the same scream when in the Stretching Room! (BTW...
Though to be fair, at least Oasis Animation's work on the show is a noticeable step up over 9 Story Entertainment's animation, despite being Flash-esque. And it seemed to improve a bit more with Season 22.
But even with that, why am I not surprised Glen Kennedy's Arthur storyboards look a lot...
OMG, I can't believe they've brought back Johnny Fiama and Sal Manilla! Good to see a couple more of the "Muppets Tonight"-original characters get used again besides Pepe the King Prawn, Bobo the Bear and Big Mean Carl!
Yep, I actually really enjoyed "The Last Day." I particularly liked the plot about D.W. starting kindergarten, now attending the same elementary school as Arthur! It was also nice to see Muffy help out with Emily, and Alex finally playing a more prominent role in an episode after years of being...
The trailer for "Arthur's First Day."
Once again, they're going to throw continuity out the window by having Mrs. Grimslid be the gang's fourth grade teacher, the no-nonsense teacher Buster was dreading in "The Last Day" (though when she was shown as a P.E. teacher, like in "Arthur's...
That's right. I used a picture of Dr. Disguise as Richie, as I was initially only aware about that one. Richie's dog Dollar also got impersonated twice; first in the first season episode "Counterfeit Dollar," which is based off a comic book story, and again in the aforementioned "Villains...
I can understand they replaced the original 1974 "NEWS FLASH" logo with the 1986 version due to the old one being so large overscan would've badly cropped it on TV sets of the time, but it's too bad they didn't retain Jerry Nelson's unique announcer spiel ("We take you now to Kermit the Frog for...
I've noticed for a while now that it seems during the Hanna-Barbera studio's existence (1957-2001), they were fond of doing episodes where the main story, or at least some kind of plot point, involved a main character being impersonated by a villain (usually a villain-of-the-week) disguised as...
Yesterday I made a pretty surprising discovery regarding one of the show's background music tracks! The disco theme that was heard in such episodes as "Flaw and Order," "Strangers on a Train," "Buster the Lounge Lizard," "Through the Looking Glasses," "Sue Ellen and the Last Page" and of course...
In "Freaky Tuesday," Mr. Ratburn mentions they have a new eighth-grade teacher. So all of a sudden Lakewood Elementary is a K-8 school? In previous seasons fifth grade was the highest there, like a typical K-5 elementary school. Though they can change things; my first elementary school where I...
Yeah, I noticed how by 1983 they generally started using only one stock recording of Jerry Nelson's "We take you now to Kermit the Frog with another fast-breaking news story!" It was heard on most Sesame Street News segments made from 1983 to 1989; a few exceptions include Dr. Nobel Price's...
I can understand this, but what's really silly is how "The Simpsons" has far worse stereotypes and such than "The Muppet Show," and that show does not contain any sort of disclaimer at the start of any episodes on Disney+ containing such potentially offensive content! I may need to do a Big Bad...
