You know, this has been something I've been thinking about for a while. I was a big fan of Bill Cosby. I didn't get his stand up LPs until I was in college, but like most of us here, I watched Cosby on Picture Pages, Fat Albert, classic Sesame Street sketches and of course, the Electric...

Speaking of bad puppets and bad puppetry, I saw this long headed blue puppet (plus an orange one) in some low budget kids' show once on my local station. I have no idea what it's called, but I wish I had taped it. I can tell you the exact station and what day it played, but when I searched the...

Hi everyone! For now, Dailymotion has the episode posted online, so if you don't feel like getting out the DVD to watch, just watch it on your computer: And remember, if you begin the episode exactly 22 minutes before the hour, (8:38 PM for us Central Time Zone folks), the Fraggles (and you)...

Yes, that's right! Every year, it's a great Muppet tradition. 9:00PM Central, ring a bell! So if you're in another time zone, adjust accordingly. Eastern time, it would be 10:00PM, Mountain Time would be 8:00PM, etc.

There could be some difference in how they store and preserve the puppets that affect how they look on camera. I was on the Sesame Street set in 2010 when they filmed "The Very End of X" episode. It makes a difference, I think, depending on what character they are getting ready to film. Abby...

"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" (both the Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross versions) and Aretha Franklin's "Rescue Me"...so overplayed in movies and on the radio.

Futurama references aside: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_fandom#Religion http://www.jedichurch.org/ There are some people who take it very seriously, even though it's fictional, just like any other TV show or movie franchise with fictional characters. But to stay on topic, Kermit...

I always wondered where a certain "kid chuckling" sound effect came from. I always thought it sounded weird, like it was too synthetic or something. I never knew any kids that laughed like that, yet the sound effect has been around since who knows when and pops up from time to time. It was in...

Ugh...there's one commercial (actually a whole bunch of them) from this same furniture store called "American Freight". I don't know if it's my cable company or what, but these commercials always play extremely loud no matter what channel they're on. It's like when Garfield got screamed at by...

True, there have been many poignant ways they have dealt with the subject of death in other Muppet productions, as well as Jim's thoughts in his letters to his kids. But what I was wondering about originally was if Jim had anything to say about the "Goodbye Mr. Hooper" episode specifically and...

Yeah, I noticed that too. It threw me off when it first came on. Too bad they couldn't have made the promo as a joke during the special (like the 'Shovin' Buddies' promo gag on Family Guy). Guard: "Aha! You stole the cookie art!" Cookie: "No, no no! It not me! It...it..."(points...

We all know the episode. We've all seen the scene. We all tear up when we see it to this day. We all still miss Mr. Hooper. I've been reading about what the different cast members had to say about the episode, which is, of course, the most famous episode in the series. One thing I've...

Thank you. I was kind of wembling on whether or not to get one just to see what they were like. As far as food goes, there's stuff I see in movies or TV I'd be curious to try, but you can't find in the US. (For example, I don't care if they're really plastic in real life--Doozer sticks still...

Hello, I have a question about a food I heard mentioned that's very popular in the UK. If anyone familiar with this food could answer my question, I'd appreciate it. I was at a Jethro Tull concert about a year or so ago and the brand "Fray Bentos Pies" came up. According to Ian Anderson...

Same time again this year, folks. 9:00PM Central, ring a bell! So if you're in the Eastern Time zone, ring your bell at 10PM, if you're in Mountain Time, ring it at 8PM, and so on. If you have the episode, you can watch "The Bells of Fraggle Rock", too. What's really cool is, if you begin...

I think I know what you're thinking of. It's a game show sketch called "What's Prairie's Problem?" The "Acamafloomfloom" part comes at the end of the game.

Oh yes they have. Traveling Matt and Cotterpin were on the Today Show chatting with Katie Couric: And if you really want to get obscure, the character "Food" appeared on SNL along with Candice Bergen, King Ploobis and Scred.

I was 13 when I found out. I was in junior high and I didn't find out until that evening on the news. Anyone remember when they played The Muppet Show on TNT back then? Well, I programmed the VCR to tape them in the mornings so I had something to look forward to when I got home from school. I...

It was Kevin in this one. Here's a blooper reel from "Sesame Family Robinson" (Marty Robinson's blog) about the episode. http://www.sesamestreet.org/parents/blog/-/blogs/joey-and-grampy-bear
