    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I read about that on the wiki. I wondered if maybe there was an issue with paying the people in the film, or maybe somebody who worked on that film segment. It's interesting that the packaging both refers to it as "first time on DVD" (I guess to please us fans who knew it was the only one not...

    April Fools: Diamond Select Toys producing Sesame Street figures

    I knew this would be what it was. I considered doing an April Fools announcement for series 3 of the Muppets figure and Mini Mates lines (if I was a member during the heyday of the Palisades figures I would have done a Palisades announcement for April Fools Day).

    April Fools: New Muppet Show Online!

    I just found at the Muppets YouTube channel the first in a brand-new Muppet show called "The Muppets Show Online", which is very similar to The Muppet Show with some exceptions, such as only being 13 minutes, not having a guest star, and not having a big opening (we just see the title card with...

    old Billboard article on launch of Sesame Street videos

    I've been looking at some old Billboard issues online and found an article from 1986 about the early Sesame Street video releases. Here's a link...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Since Animal is being released on his own, presumably so the drum set will fit in the packaging (will the drums be included with all releases of the figure, or just the "expanded accessories" version?), I wonder if Rowlf and Dr. Teeth will be released on their own so their big instruments will...

    The "You know what?" thread

    On Rugrats, Reptar was an obvious parody of Godzilla, but I wonder if maybe it was also in response to the popularity of Barney. It's probably more of a coincidence, as Barney and Friends premiered the same year as Rugrats (even though a few Barney video tapes had been released), but it is...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    I dreamt that I saw some news report promoting Follow That Bird, with one of the people in charge of production complaining about executive meddling, claiming that either Warner Bros. or Sesame Workshop demanded rewrites, changing all the really good stuff in the script (considering how good the...

    The "You know what?" thread

    As pointed out on TV Tropes, the opening scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit is very detailed for an '80s cartoon, while the Toontown sequence is animated more like a regular cartoon. I've realized that that could be because the beginning scene is actually on a movie set, with props and stuff...

    Sesame Street CDs/Video design

    Back around 2001, there was a Muppet group picture from the 1970s that suddenly had Miss Piggy's head replaced with a more modern Piggy head, while the rest had the same heads as in the original photo.

    The Muppets Episode 15 - Generally Inhospitable

    While Miss Piggy was in the hospital, I wonder why the network refused to air a rerun. Watching that Veterinarian's Hospital sketch, it seems like the patient didn't know she was going to be in a sketch. Maybe I'm wrong and her reactions were just acting, but it seems odd they would just put...

    Fuller House

    I just finished watching the whole first season, and it was good. I recently saw an interview with Dave Coulier, where he mentioned that he appeared in three episodes. After seeing Joey's second appearance, I read the plot descriptions for all episodes I hadn't seen yet, and after seeing the...
