The movie didn't have any scenes inside a Doc Hopper restaurant. There was the scene where one was under construction, and we saw a commercial, but that's all we saw of his actual restaurants. The restaurants were the El Sleazo Cafe (where Fozzie made a "drinks on the house" gag) The Terrace...

I'm confused. So you think there weren't enough familiar things, yet would have preferred they have new characters and only a few old characters? The Jim Henson Hour and Muppets Tonight both had a lot more new characters than old characters, and around here that seems to be one of the biggest...

I didn't get to see the first episode until it came to ABC.Com and Hulu (watched it on both sites), and it was great. There's a few things I don't know what to make of, though: The fact that the crew is a mix of Muppets and humans. This is the first time that a Muppet show had humans working...

For years, I figured any edits Nickelodeon made to Secrets of the Muppets carried over into broadcasts on other channels (with Odyssey being the only other one), it didn't occur to me that the Nick version wouldn't be the master version used (though Henson has made new master tapes from edited...

There's an SNL sketch in a home video compilation spotlighting game show sketches that is cut off before it ends. Don't know why, but before the sketch is over, it suddenly cuts to another sketch. The sketch is titled "Dork, Geek, or Spaz", and has contestants guessing whether panelists...

"Eye in the Sky" by The Alan Parsons Project. Listening to it, I feel like it sounds similar to a number of other great songs, like the theme from Greatest American Hero and "Somebody's Baby".

Disney owns the Muppets (and The Muppet Show), Henson owns Henson's Place. Anyway, I feel like this documentary was sort of like a hybrid between the great Word of Jim Henson and the rushed CNN People Profiles special (to be fair, the CNN one is the only Jim Henson documentary that did not...

After watching some of the sneek peeks, I feel like it'd be great if every cold open took place during a meeting (or, if there's no cold open, then start with the Muppets having a meeting).

In the end credits, it lists pretty much every production owned by Disney that gets a clip included, but it incorrectly lists Henson's Place among them. For years, I thought that credits for clips were to acknowledge the copyright owners/distributors, then I wondered if they were just...

The show did have multiple celebrities. Usually only one was announced as a guest star (the only exception was the Coolio and Don Rickles one, and I've often questioned that), but very few episodes only had one celebrity (I was shocked when I first saw another human in an episode). Some episodes...

Been thinking a little bit about Doug. It seems like most of the Nicktoons had plenty of adult appeal. Some shows, like Ren and Stimpy and Rocko, were a bit more extreme when it comes to adult humor, while others had fairly subtle jokes or plotlines that would be a little more interesting to...

Actually, that was from the "Count on Elmo" DVD. Big Bird didn't appear at all in it, and Oscar was only in the "Count Tribute" street story.

It's available online at the PBS site now: http://video.pbs.org/video/2365557703/ Interestingly, it says that it expires on September 15, 2022. I wonder if that's an error, or if most programs available for streaming expire after so long. Seems like a long amount of time for it to be available...

I missed the special. Anybody know if this will go online soon?

Recently I've been thinking about the Doug episode "Doug's Bum Rap", and isn't it weird how at the beginning, Doug is sent to the principal's office because his test had the exact same answers as Chalky's, and Doug was told that they'd both have to re-take the test if neither of them confessed...

So what's the deal with this recent internet meme that says "doesn't believe in (insert thing here), still does his/her job"? Is it a reference to something in the news?

Something else that I wondered. There's a season 12 press release that refers to Ferlinghetti Donnizetti as a new character that season, and we still haven't seen any season 12 material with him. Kevin Clash performed him in most of his appearances we've seen, and for awhile there was some...

I wonder what'll happen to the Two-Headed Monster. It wouldn't surprise me if Matt Vogel takes over, since he's so many characters Jerry Nelson originated.

Was this among the episodes recently found online? Episodes from seasons 1, 10, 12, 20, and 22 have shown up, and like some of those episodes this one has a time code, but the description for this says it is from season 8. Anybody know which episode it's from? Considering how Snuffy sounds...

"What's the Word on the Street" has been on the show for seven years, not just five, while Murray has been hosting for five years. I wonder if the hosting segments are being dropped, giving Murray less screen time (unless they start putting him in street scenes).* I also wonder if Joey Mazzarino...
