In the last few days I've wondered, in the pilot, is the TV show that Kermit tells the gang about (as well as the one that they need Miss Piggy for) supposed to be this new television series or is it the show-within-a-show? It's been said in press releases that in the pilot the network would...

It had already been announced awhile ago that they would be in scale with 7" figures from Diamond. Meaning that most would be smaller than 7", but any celebrity figures released by Diamond could be used as guest stars for the Muppets and be in scale.

I haven't gotten around to watching the whole Comic Con presentation, but early on, Bill Prady says that they can't legally broadcast the first episode and although they screened it at Comic Con claimed that they couldn't even legally show it there (though they did), claiming that the Comic Con...

I'd like to see a gag where they're supposed to do the song, but then one of them (whether in cut-away or not) remarks that they're tired of always doing that song. It would be the first time since the "string quartet" sketch on The Ed Sullivan Show (and the Canteen commercial) that Mahna Mahna...

First time I saw a picture of that "Snitch Whistle" monster, it looked to me like his head and body were the same, with his face over his body and arms coming out the ears or whatever. I wonder if that's the only time a live-hand Anything Muppet was made into a monster.

Something that I didn't think about regarding the release of the Count on Elmo release: This came out on the same week as Jerry Nelson's birthday. I wonder if it was planned that way or a coincidence. Interestingly, the Count montage at the beginning includes a few celebrities, none of which...

The wedding was part of a musical, even if the minister was real. But since the movie came out, Kermit and Piggy had disagreements over whether it was real or not, with Kermit stating that it was just a movie. But I wonder if Miss Piggy will finally admit to that here.

Last night I dreamt I saw a clip from the first season of Sesame Street where Grover was not performed by Frank Oz or any other performer whose voice I could identify, but I checked Muppet Wiki and saw that it was Daniel Segren. Thought it was odd that it was identified, as there aren't many...

I mistakenly thought that the one non-Count Muppet segment included was also the same Muppet segment included in Elmo's Super Numbers, but I was wrong. Turns out there's two similar segments with a fish (performed by Kevin Clash) counting - the one on Elmo's Super Numbers was about the number...

It wouldn't surprise me if a Count clip was selected due to the recent release of "Count on Elmo", though that one didn't exactly spotlight the character (there's a clip montage of Count moments - and Count Up to Nine is not included among the clips - and the Number of the Day Song plays during...

I think that Shrek 2 is good but not as great as the first one. And even though you didn't ask, I'll tell you that I find Shrek 3 forgettable (there was a period where I seriously forgot what the plot even was) and Shrek Fourever After (or whatever the title was) was a lot better than 2 and 3...

Top ten movies that really didn't need sequels: Please note that this list does not reflect my opinions of the first film, nor does it reflect my opinions of the sequels, and in some cases I haven't seen the sequel. Some of these I really liked, some I just liked, if not disliked (but the #1...

I wonder how many tropes need to be listed on a works page before it gets that "alphabetical index" thingy. I've noticed it on a lot of pages. For TV shows, for example, it's on pages for such long-running shows as The Simpsons, Family Guy, and South Park (I think it's there for American Dad and...

I just watched the preview and the video again, and the song does have extra verses, sung by Grover and Cookie Monster.

Yes. The first half is new linking material taking place before the ceremony (as well as various number inserts), then the ceremony street story appears, and then there's a new scene at the very end following the ceremony.

Something I've been thinking about that I've been trying to remember today: Since the late-1990s, have the majority of shows added to Nick at Nite always been the first show of the evening when they are new? I know there would have at least been some exceptions (like Newhart, which when it...

I don't remember. I'll have to watch both the video and the preview again.

Well I just watched the whole DVD. It's really not bad, except for the disappointing selection of inserts. Most of them appeared in last years "Elmo's Super Numbers" DVD (I wondered if they just took that DVD and copied parts of it), including the only Muppet skit on there (which is the only...

One thing about the "All Together Now" bit that I forgot to mention: It feels like when an uncool person (especially a lame parent) trying and failing to be cool, except it's not quite cringe-worthy, nor is it a "so bad it's good"/"so unfunny it's hilarious" quality (which is the usual result...

Watching "Count on Elmo" right now. At the beginning, there is a montage of Count clips, including some classics ones, though it doesn't go as far back as the 1970s (I think 1981 is the farthest back it goes). One thing that wasn't announced was that this is packaged with an Elmo the Musical...
