    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Trailer

    I'm truly excited by this new trailer! It's great to see the classic characters (Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo) mingling with the TMS-era Muppets (Pops, Wayne & Wanda) and newer ones (Big Mean Carl, Pépe the King Prawn, Walter). Plus, Bill Prady used to be a Muppet writer before getting involved with...

    Episodes that Have Stuck with You

    I finally found an episode that has been stuck in the back of my mind for years. I even recall watching it when it first aired...I must have been five or six years old at the time. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Episode_3851

    For all the Whose Line fans: the Multiple Personalities mega-video! Aka: the John Wayne/Scooby-Doo/Richard Simmons/Jimmy Stewart/Elvis Presley showcase. I wish they had chosen other celebrities to impersonate…Sylvester Stallone, Bill Cosby, Frank Sinatra, Christopher Walken, etc.

    Anyone remember the Jimmy Neutron show on Nickelodeon? It was one of my favorite shows growing up, and I have vivid memories of watching it on TV with my brother. Earlier this week I learned that one of my close friends liked that show as well (thus giving us something else to bond over). So...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Wow. They aren't kidding about major changes, especially to the set. I'm rather disoriented by the overhaul to Big Bird and Oscar's living areas. I don't know how to feel about Big Bird's nest being out in the open, with no construction doors around him anymore. And having Oscar move into that...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Good observation. In the last few months, we've got "4 Galletas" (featuring Sonia Manzano as an AM girl), "Happiness is Looking Up" with Ernie, and now "King Cookie." I'm guessing this is from 1979 or so, based on Maria's haircut and shirt. And even after 35 years, she still looks great! I...

    New Muppet Pilot in Development by Randall Einhorn (The Office, Modern Family) for ABC

    I could see Link Hogthrob and Dr. Strangepork in bigger roles. Not so much Marvin Suggs, though…he was, is, and always has been a one-note character. I'm kind of on the fence about Lew Zealand, too. He's also a one-note character, obsessed with boomerang fish, but he was used quite a bit in the...

    New Muppet Pilot in Development by Randall Einhorn (The Office, Modern Family) for ABC

    Best news I've heard all day. I'm really hoping that this can develop from the script and pilot and become a full-fledged reality. Plus, I'm a huge fan of Bill Prady's work on the Big Bang Theory. However, I still have some doubts about the show's format and audience. First, will the...

    Henson Rarities on Youtube

    The Muppet that later became Elmo was originally used as a background monster in the late 1970s. I think his earliest appearance was in the Monsterpiece Theater sketch "Me Claudius" filmed circa 1978-1979. So yes, it is likely that Elmo was in the background.
