I've noticed that after looking at Muppet Wiki. I hope I can find out which ones have full guides by now (I think I saw two full season ten guides yesterday). It's interesting, those seasons seem to be the ones we keep getting. When Sesame Street first put classic episodes on iTunes, seasons...

So if somebody is punished for something, but the punisher doesn't want the other parent (or, if it's not a parent doing the punishing, the parents) to know, how do they work around it? I know of two TV examples like this. In the Happy Days episode "The Skin Game", Richie and Potsy get fake...

So how do time codes get moved from videos and films? It seems like time codes are often shown in deleted scenes and outtakes, and there's a handful of Sesame Street episodes/clips in YouTube with the time code included (the Tough Pigs people also recently acquired copies of The Cher Show...

In the audio commentary for Back to the Future Part III, it's said that Mad Dog Tannen was originally going to hang Marty over Marty accidentally getting a little manure on his shoe, before deciding that nobody would get so mad over that. But I feel Mad Dog would. He seems like the kind of...

I'm so glad that we got to finally see this segment. I was surprised that the lighting wasn't darker. I always assumed this was from the fourth season, since The Count used his powers which I assumed were gone after the characters first season. I thought the EKA for this was a season four...

I didn't realize that. Of course, this is the only version of the song mentioned on the Muppet Wiki page. Makes me wonder if this was written in 1995 and just didn't get performed until a decade later, or if the original is a segment that's just so rare/obscure that it's unknown to the wiki (or...

Well, my dream writing, directing, and starring crew would be... Me. But besides me, I'd like the writing crew to include Weird Al Yankovic, Mel Brooks, Mark Evanier, Joe Flaherty, Dave Thomas, Andy Milonakis, and Seth MacFarlane (maybe also a writer or two from Mad magazine). For the...

Kevin Clash often talks about how during the taping of the finale there's a part where a bunny was hopping up and down while everyone else was smoothly moving back and fourth, with Kevin wanting the performer to not be so wild, only to learn that it was Jim Henson performing that rabbit. That...

Today I saw this Sesame Street segment for the first time. I don't recall knowing about it before (I probably saw it mentioned and pictured on Muppet Wiki without thinking enough about it to remember), and it sure is a fun song. One thing that's interesting is how Bert and Grover both...

At first when I read the description, I wondered if it would be all-original footage, since the first few things mentioned were things I don't recall seeing, but then it mentioned a few guest appearances. One of them, with OK Go, doesn't have Elmo, so I guess this won't be an all-Elmo DVD. One...

I said I'd do it in a later post, and now it's a later post, so here is a list of what clips appear in the opening montage: Clips of groups of people entering a stage - the Muppets for "Look at Me" in The Muppets Take Manhattan, chorus lines of females and males in the first season Muppet Show...

(the camera pans around the area, as various characters chat) Beaker: Mee mee mee mee mee. Bunsen: That's right, Beaker, we have invented a device that can make the next 60 years pass by us faster. Animal: HUN-GRY! HUN-GRY! Floyd: Calm down, Animal! Zoot: Yeah! Floyd: You don't need fourths...

Walter: And now it's time to pay tribute to the star of the Muppets, Kermit the Frog! (everyone applauds) Kermit: Thank you, thank you... Walter: No, thank YOU Kermit. Fozzie: You have done so much for us. Scooter: If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be here today. Kermit: Actually we...

Walter: Welcome back to the special. And now, we look at some clips with the one, the only, Kermit the Fr... Kermit: Uh, Walter. Walter: Yes, Kermit? Kermit: I think it would be better to introduce clips with the others first. Walter: Well, whatever you say. Anyway, here is the best of the...

(A clip montage plays with an instrumental version of The Muppet Show theme playing, I'll list what clips appear here later). (After the clip montage, we see the Muppets gathered in a bar) Walter: Welcome everybody to the Muppets 60th anniversary. Tonight, we celebrate 60 years of the...

Recently, Gilbert Gilchrist uploaded a restored version of The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, and as I've been watching this restored version, I'm noticing a lot of things that I hadn't noticed before. You can watch the restored version here (and you can still watch older, unrestored...

I remembered that the fact inside Muppet Weird Stuff was about Camilla, but all these years I thought it was about both Gonzo and Camilla.

Lately, I've heard Lynard Skiner's "Gimme Three Steps" song, and am wondering if The Opposite Song is meant to be a parody of that song. The music sounds very similar, as does some of the melody. Heck, the singer even sounds similar to Little Chrissy. Muppet Wiki doesn't say anything about it...

Bill did get one lines as a grouch, saying "I'd love to, but I don't speak English." But I don't think the performers have to have actually been in these productions to dislike them. Somebody said Jerry Nelson didn't like Labyrinth (this is the first I've heard that), and Nelson didn't even...

Yeah, I was recently told that all of the Ed Sullivan segments that can be viewed at the Paley Center for Media (which includes this one) are presented in color, and judging by the Muppets Magic DVD, it seems like the company that owns The Ed Sullivan Show has master tapes of all the segments...
