I have noticed something about crowd scenes, between the time when Jim Henson and alive and then afterwards. It seems like when Jim Henson was alive, there have often been really impressive crowd scenes, which required more performers than usual, and in most cases no editing was invovled with...

Who here likes Taz-Mania, the early 1990s television series starring the Tasmanian Devil? I thought it was a good series, and although it was rare for other Looney Tunes characters to make appearances, I thought that most of the supporting vharacters were great, including Didgerty Dingo, Wendell...

I recently noticed that in The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, the orchestra consisted of The Electric Mayhem and several penguins. Considering the fact that Little Muppet Monsters had a penguin band, I wonder if those penguins were meant to be the band from Little Muppet Monsters, mixed...

The first three seasons of Sesame Street had different human comedy duos. First, there was Buddy and Jim, who were replaced in the second season by Larry and Phyllis, who were replaced in the third season by Wally and Ralph. But does anybody know why the first two duos were replaced after only...

Narrarator: A long, long time ago, people lived in caves, and didn't have very much to do. In fact, if our clothes were dirty, we washed by hand, not by machine. (cave king Ernie is washing some clothes in a river in the cave) Ernie: Oh, I can't believe that I've sent my royal cleaners on...

Can anybody make a list of all the characters who have appeared in The Muppet Show style guides? Muppet Wiki lists characters who appear in the Sesame Street style guides, but not TMS ones.

I have been wondering recently, what if, instead of showing how Kermit first met the other Muppets and went to Hollywood, Jim Henson chose for The Muppet Movie to be just like a regular episode of The Muppet Show, only with an extra 60 minutes in lenght? Do you think it would have been as...

I've read that Jim Henson was given creative controll over The Muppet Show, due to it being syndicated, but does anybody know if Jim Henson was given this privledge when he made The Jim Henson Hour? Heck, I wonder if Henson ahd creative controll over Fraggle Rock, and wonder if Sesame Workshop...

Okay, I am going to make 20 posts here, for a ficticious Sesame Street activity-like series, featuring segments from the show and new scenes. The number of letter sponsors will vary but will usually be two letters. Enjoy! Sesame Street Spectacular Show #1 Scene 1 Big Bird introduces the...

In the early years, it was common for animated and film segments t be shown twice or more in the same episode, but have there ever been any Muppet sketches that were shown more than once in the same episode?

I wasn't sure where this kind of thread belongs, so I put it in General Discussions (I thought about putting it in Fan Fiction and Fan Art, but then thought the title might be misleading). After seeing the recent Tough Pigs contest where fans sent in drawings they made as kids (or was it...

I've been noticing some things about the Muppet monsters in season two. Quite a few new monsters were built and introduced this season, while many of the older ones were used less (and after season two monsters would be used sparringly all-together). Boppity was used quite a bit this season...

Here is an outline for a fictitious 1971 Sesame Street Live show, similar to the ones form 1980 and beyond. Act 1 Sesame Street Theme Four Anything Mupet kids (voices of Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, and Fran Brill) sing the theme song, until finally, they arrive at Sesame...

Back when Nickelodeon aired reruns of The Muppet Show, the UK spots would usually be shown, but other segments would be cut, presumably for time, but I wonder how often Nickelodeon chose to cut something because of content (in addition to time). I thought I'd start this threat to speculate on...

I would like to share some nitpicks about the Nancy Walker episode. First of all, Fozzie was concerned about the wall that got blown up during the opening number. However, that wasn't Fozzie's fault. It was the fault of the performers in the opening number. That would have happened even if...

Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem were performing at the Muppet Theater. They were performing "Wild Thing". "Wild thing", sang Dr. Teeth, "You make my heart sing! Wild thing, you make everything groovy...." "Wild thing", sang Floyd, "I think I love you...." Floyd continued to sing...

Harvey Kneeslaper: Hey, I'm looking for people to play on my baseball team. Would you like to be on my team? Lavendar Anything Muppet: Oh, sure! You can count on me. Harvey Kneeslapper: What was that? Lavendar Anything Muppet: I said, you can coutn on me. Harvey Kneeslapper: Okay...

Chapter 1 Sweetums, Thog, and Timmy were all at the minature golf corse, playing golf, of course. "Okay, I've just gotta swing this to make one point", said Thog, who hit the ball, but sliped to his side and fell onto a windmill, breaking it. "Oh, no, you idiot!", said Timmy, "You...

I thought I'd take the time to make some observations about the last episode of Dinosaurs, Changing Nature. It seems like the Dinosaurs characters were expecting the bunch beetles to show up, only for them to not show up at the expected time (and for Stan to be late). However, when Charlene...

(Pepe appears, wearing a robe and sitting in an armchair. He is in a room filled with bookshelves and books) Pepe: Good evening, okay. I am Pepe the King Prawn. Tonight, I am going to pay tribute to the six sexiest women whom I would like to sleep with, okay.. (alarms go off and a network...
