    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Pitch Reel

    So we still don't know who performs Denise. She doesn't get much dialogue (I was hoping we'd get to know her a little more in the pilot), and the credits don't even say who performed her (while listing who performed almost everyone else... It points out Matt Vogel performed Robin, who I don't...

    TV Tropes

    Is there a trope for when somebody runs for something, and only gets a single-digit number of votes? Especially when it looks like we know who those votes are from, only for the one who ran to mention that he voted for himself, showing that one of the others didn't even vote for him. I know...

    What if the Trash Heap communicated with Gorgs and Doozers?

    Of course, the Fraggles didn't know that radishes were the main ingrediant for Doozer sticks (this episode was the first time it was mentioned, and the Fraggles still wouldn't know until three episodes before the show ended) or why the Gorgs needed radishes (and this is the only episode to show...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    A while ago, I saw on Muppet Wiki that there's no evidence of The Jim Henson Hour airing in England, though some pages say that Living with Dinosaurs (with JHH intros) and Food/The Three Ravens aired there, and that part of the confusion comes from the fact that Living with Dinosaurs, along with...

    monitor images on The Jim Henson Hour

    I know I'm bumping an old thread, but after seeing all the episodes, I've noticed that, while a lot of monitor footage could have easily just been the performers playing with the puppets, there's also a lot that seem to be a bit planned. Like one episode (I think "Power") that showed a monitor...

    Special Preview of The Muppets 2015 TV Show

    There's a lot of pilots that either never aired (the Three's Company pilots, the Sesame Street test pilots, Rugrats) or aired later in broadcast order (The Jim Henson Hour, The Bob Newhart Show, Fraggle Rock, Doug).

    What if the Trash Heap communicated with Gorgs and Doozers?

    I still think it's kind of odd that in The Great Radish Famine she's so concerned about the conflict between the three species, without really thinking of the consequences (even if it is part of the point). She does seem to have the kind of knowledge that the others don't have, particularly with...

    What if the Trash Heap communicated with Gorgs and Doozers?

    Lately I've been thinking about "The Great Radish Famine", where Marjourie the Trash Heap magically takes away the radishes because the Fraggles, Gorgs, and Doozers are all in conflict with each other (never mind the fact that the Gorgs and Doozers hadn't been aware of each other before this...

    Kermit and Walter at YouTube Space LA

    After watching the last few "Bear-ly Funny Fridays", "i've noticed that the on-screen title card reads "Jokes! with Fozzie", while the videos are listed as "Fozzie's Bear-ly Funny Fridays". I wonder which title should be used for the Muppet Wiki article.

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    I found a documentary from 1990 that I'm not sure whether I knew about it. It's an episode of the series Learning Matters. Interestingly, there's a lot of first season focus, including a section on why Buddy and Jim, Professor Hastings, and Roosevelt Franklin were dropped. We already knew...

    Kermit and Walter at YouTube Space LA

    Beauregard appears in today's episode: I just realized that Muppet Wiki doesn't have a page for Fozzie's Bear-ly Funny Fridays.

    Special Preview of The Muppets 2015 TV Show

    Hopefully it can be on DVD, though it would be shocking if something cleared for DVD couldn't be cleared for television broadcast, it's not often you hear about something like that (though I have read that all the music cleared for the DVD releases of WKRP in Cincinnati were only cleared for the...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Recently I watched Harriet the Spy for the first time in a long time (and I had previously only seen the movie once, back in 1997), and maybe I missed something, but what's the deal with Sport paying his fathers bills? I know that his father was an out-of-work writer who was having writers...

    TV Tropes

    I wonder if there's a trope, or should be one, for show titles that get shortened by fans. Could be trivia, maybe YMMV. I know there's tropes like "Fan Nickname" (which I guess would be closer, I haven't looked at that trope in awhile, can't remember if it actually exists or if I'm...

    The Bob Newhart Thread

    I've always noticed that on Newhart the closing would alternate between a shot of the Inn with and a shot without snow, but after watching several episodes recently, I just now noticed that, with or without snow, there's other shots of the Inn used in the credits, showing different angles...
