Well, for years somebody (was it more than just one fan?) had speculated that the season one credits crawl included in Old School Volume 1 was taken from the fifth episode. Turns out whoever thought that was correct. And so now it makes sense why Old School Volume 1 doesn't show the sponsors...

I thought that was normally the case with live shows after it had become common for shows to be saved (even for shows that normally weren't rebroadcast). EDIT: Well I looked at the Red Book article in question and it said that it was a "live-to-tape" broadcast meaning it aired as it was being...

I've read in a post on Jim Henson's Red Book site that the Muppets 1971 appearance on The Dick Cavette Show was broadcast "live as it was taped". I assume that's the case for all episodes of The Dick Cavette Show, but what exactly does "live as it was taped" mean? Does it just mean that it was...

Here's a segment that was sometimes shown following the "Eggs and Cookie film":

Somebody in the thread about classic clips on YouTube mentioned that he obtained copies of episodes 2-14 from a secret source (and Muppet Wiki now has a guide for episode 4 as well). Hopefully the rest of those episodes will have guides on the wiki soon. In the past year, we've gotten the...

What's the deal with some of the titles for SCTV episodes? Some of the episodes seem to have two titles ("Pet Peves/Happy Wanderers", "Days of the Week/Street Beef") and it seems to sometimes use episodes related to the backstage plots and sometimes related to a sketch from that episode. I've...

Speaking of which, the first book focused on Mr. Wood, with Slappy having only a minor role before becoming the star of the series. It seems odd that the book covers used the same design for the main dummy. I guess that's to avoid confusion for those who read the sequels before the first book...

One thing I wonder is why they adapted Night of the Living Dummy II without adapting the first Night of the Living Dummy for the TV series. I also wonder why the TV version of Slappy the dummy looks different from what's on the book illustrations. On the book covers, he has brown hair and a bit...

Watching some of the episodes, I noticed that the Netflix version of episode 123 has the "you can wash anything" film that's cut from the iTunes version.

I've been thinking a lot about the use of (and lack theroff of) Sully after Richard Hunt's death. Muppet Wiki notes that David Rudman took over (citing documents from the CTW Archives), but it seems like there's only one known source for that (neither Sesame Street Unpaved or 40 Years of Life...

Back when Juliana Donald (Jenny from The Muppets Take Manhattan) was interviewed for The Muppet Mindset, she said that since Jim Henson was so busy with projects at the time that Frank Oz did his best to make sure he only had to be on the set/filming locations when he was needed (and Jim Henson...

Maybe I posted right after your edit happened.

No, The Muppet Movie is about starting the band. EDIT: Oops, I misread that as that they're both about getting the band back together.

People keep mentioning that people will want to wait until it's on Netflix, but there's no guarantee that a movie will come to Netflix once it's on video. Is there an estimated time between the average gap between the theatrical release and Netflix premiere of a movie? Fans might need to wait...

A while back I pointed out how it seems like the weirdest sketches on Sesame Street are not Muppet segments but animation (like the one with the duck brushing his teeth or the "Arthur and Annie look for A" bit or maybe "Cracks"), but this is probably one of the weirdest Muppet bits on the show...

Last night I dreamt there was an online commercial starring Rizzo, in which he talks about a new video format. The video format looks like an audio cassette, but then you put it into some odd-looking object, and out comes a film strip. And also, a car drove past Oscar's trash can, ripping...
