Elmo was also at the day care in a song called T Dance, which appears in the home video Do the Alphabet.

The Muppet Mindset wants fans to send in favorite TMS moments for a special "top 40 Muppet Show moments" article. https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2016/09/13/we-want-your-favorite-muppet-show-moments/ I already did my own "top 40 Muppet Show songs and sketches" article a few years ago...

One thing I thought about is that those segments have ending music. I wonder if Joe Raposo wrote the music at the end of those (and how many non-music segments - meaning segments that weren't primarily musical - feature underscores by Raposo?). Of course I think the music could have easily been...

When I first heard of Muppetzine when I first got the internet back in 1996, I thought it was an official Henson Company-produced/approved Muppet magazine. I didn't realize it was just made by fans with no involvement in the company (though official people did do interviews and correspond with...

One thing I've always found odd about the Bert and Ernie scenes, which I recently saw brought up at Tough Pigs, was that Bert is the one who overreacts when things get too unsettling and Ernie is the one who calms him down and reassures him that things will be fine. Shouldn't it have been the...

I feel like he and Joe Raposo were the two most prominent songwriters for the shows early years.

Does anybody know whether Weird Al Yankovic's last album, Mandatory Fun, has been certified gold yet? I looked at a listing on the official Weird Al site of which albums have gone gold and platinum, and didn't see it listed, but I also couldn't find anything about when that page was last...

Well, I found the answer to my question. Last week, Tough Pigs posted scans from every page if Muppetzine, and I saw one issue that had an article confirming that ABC ordered a second season. So ABC planned to air season two, the episodes were most likely completed, then the show got canceled...

I had forgotten that I felt something was missing from the song. I also feel something was cut or different about the closing song, or maybe it's just me.

I watched the repeat of Muppets Most Wanted, and as far as I can tell (I wasn't exactly paying 100% attention), I don't think it cut anything from the theatrical cut (aside from what happens during and after the credits, due to the split-screen during the credits). There's a few things that I...

Maybe in the world of Sesame Street, birds get to live on their own at younger ages (in FTB, the concern was that there aren't any birds around him, not that he seems to be an orphan). Also to note that originally, Big Bird was meant to be an adult. He wasn't portrayed as a child until the...

I say this is sorta-belated because it's not over, but right now, TBS is airing The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted back-to-back, and Muppets Most Wanted will air again immediately after itself. I saw this news on Tough Pigs a few days ago and assumed it was posted here, but as I looked I see...

Wow, so The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson was rebroadcast at least once. I didn't think it was, though I knew there were two slightly different edits, one where Steve Whitmire rerecorded Kermit's dialogue at the end. Wasn't sure if that was for an international (English-language) airing or what...

At first I thought you meant Steve Whitmire as opposed to Steve Swanson.

I thought Grover was supposed to cough to help unintentionally make the K sound.

It was said at a convention last year that they not only need to clear the music, but they also have to pay all living musicians. Not sure if that means the musicians who worked on the show or the musicians involved with the songs (and I don't know why it would have to be the latter), but with...

Just because he didn't know Mazzarino was the head writer doesn't mean he hadn't been watching. I think I'm more aware that he was head writer and a director from Muppet Wiki, discussions here and at Tough Pigs, and the interview he did for Tough Pigs in 2008 than I am from seeing it in the credits.

I don't think it's been officially confirmed whether Joey's characters will be recast, but even if they aren't, I doubt Sesame Workshop feels a big need to have additional characters to compensate for their absence, considering that this past season had a reduced focus on characters.

Recently, I've watched the Jeffersons episode "The House That George Built", where after a near-death experience, George decides he wants to be remembered by the world, so he first decides to write an autobiography, then he cancels the autobiography in favor of opening a George Jefferson museum...

I thought of a trivia trope that might be great, not sure how to title it or if it'd be too "people sit on chairs", but I'd like to see a trope for animated shows where most of the voice actors do multiple characters, but then there's voice actors who only do one character. I don't think there's...
