Top ten lines from the Rocky and Bullwinkle storyline "The Treasure of Monte Zoom" (spoiler alert, particularly at quote #6). 10. (after finding out that the treasure is just an old car) Rocky: I must say, I'm disappointed. Bullwinkle: Well go ahead then. Rocky: What? Bullwinkle: Say it...

On a similar question, I must ask, are the Minions from Despicable Me overrated? I really can't decide. I didn't think they deserved their own movie (which did end up being a decent film), and they make up the majority of Despicable Me merchandise (have there been any toys of the girls?). It...

Top ten gags/backfired traps from Road Runner cartoons. 10. The "Chinese Road Runner" appearance (I keep forgetting which one this is from) 9. Tornado pills (I keep forgetting which one this is from) 8. Wile E. dresses as a female Road Runner and gets chased by several coyotes (Ready, Set...

Maybe I've asked before, but what's the deal with Facebook posts that say "if you remember this, your childhood was awesome", particularly when it's something that isn't really from that long ago and was really popular for years? Even more "what's the deal..." are posts like "You're a '90s baby...

In the last few days I've seen posts that say that the show was originally offered to Netflix. When was this announced? I don't remember hearing about it (officially or rumor-wise) when the show was originally announced. And the only places I've seen this fact mentioned have been The Muppet...

I've been thinking about the two Dinosaurs clip shows, as well as the fact that Dinosaurs was such an expensive show to produce, and suddenly I wonder if those clip shows were made as a way of saving money. After all, none of the Dinosaurs characters appeared in the linking footage, just live...

Of the various Henson Company theme songs, my favorites are the ones from The Muppet Show and The Jim Henson Hour. When it comes to theme songs from animated shows, I like the themes from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the original theme for the original series), Animaniacs, Rugrats, Rocky and...

This video of commercials from 1987 includes a commercial for Sesame Street Live: Big Bird and the ABCs at the 3:44 mark.

With today being Cinco de Mayo, I've been thinking a bit about Speedy Gonzales, and one thing has hit me. Usually, when there's a special Looney Tunes marathon or a video release that tries to include all of the characters, the Oscar-winning short "Speedy Gonzales" is often the only Speedy...

I'm really not sure what folder is the right one for this. A few months ago, The Muppet Mindset announced that it would discontinue its Weekly Muppet Wednesdays article series. Most of the really important characters have been covered, but there's still quite a few who I feel should be given WMW...

I always thought Bobo was dumb as well. I was surprised when Bobo and Beauregard were paired together in a couple of Muppets.com videos.

She's the archivist for The Jim Henson Company. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Karen_Falk

I was just looking at this again, and noticed that it said that Random House and CTW worked together on the videos, with Random House choosing the themes. I previously thought it said that Random House chose themes and CTW selected clips, but I guess CTW could have suggested some themes as well...

Has there ever been a "Dollar Store"? I feel like there was one, but every dollar store I know of is either Dollar Tree or Dollar General (I can't remember whether I've been to a Family Dollar). I feel like there was one just called "The Dollar Store", though it's possible people were just...

I know that pretty much every plot has been done by now, but I've noticed several episodes have plots that are similar to episodes of the original series. The love triangle between DJ, Steve, and the vet, particularly how it wraps up in the last episode (and I saw this coming, even before...

The next DVD after Sing It, Elmo! will be Elmos' Favorite Stories, which will have seven street stories. I wonder if that's a new trend. Only two of the stories have been announced, but one of them is the one where Abby thinks Oscar is a prince, which was released in Fairy Tale Fun. Still...

The theme from the Dr. Seuss Beginner Book Video series.

I wonder if I should have said that The Muppet Show and various specials would get special "remastered" editions like Emmet Otter and The Bells of Fraggle Rock did last Christmas, meaning they'd be shown widescreen and at a faster frame rate.

Season 30 hardly had any Kermit segments at all, with News being the most common of them. One episode had Kermit and Joey sing the alphabet, another had "ABCs of the Swamp", and I think another had "Caribbean Amphibian", and then the other Kermit segments that year were news (including...

I just did a Muppet Mindset list on the top ten episodes. https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2016/04/12/michael-ranks-the-muppets/ But here is my ranking of all 16 episodes: 16. Bear Left Then Bear Write 15. Walk the Swine 14. Got Silk? 13. Too Hot for Handler 12. Pigs in a Blackout 11. Pig...
