Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
Really? I haven't seen Muppets from Space on TV often, and it seems like the Muppet movies started to be broadcast infrequently around that time. I feel like all of the movies have been equally easy to find on video.
A few things about a few movies...
Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey
In this movie, the family has to move to San Francisco for a few weeks, and has to leave their pets with a friend who lives somewhere on the way there. The family planned to occasionally visit on weekends during that...
Lately, I'm wondering if The Muppets is too much of a hit. I don't exactly find it overrated, and it is a great movie, but it seems I've encountered a lot of fans who prefer that over the earlier movies. I guess it makes sense for people born after (or around) 1999 who may not have been too...
Maybe because he was worn out from a busy day of news reporting?
If that's true, then I'm surprised. I would have thought it'd be a no-no to have another person perform Kermit if Jim wasn't there (meaning only if Jim was performing another character in the same scene). I'm not saying you're...
I remember reading that they were unable to contact/locate Chong at the time. Which makes me wonder what happens when somebody who gets residuals/royalties is missing... Do they hold off on releasing it until they can find them, or do they keep the money somewhere until they know where to send...
I remember when I first saw Blazing Saddles, I got it for Christmas but hadn't even heard of that movie (and wasn't exactly a fan of Mel Brooks), but judging from the cover I didn't think I'd like it much (not too big on westerns). I was wrong.
I also didn't think I'd like Frozen. My mom took...
I wonder when the show got to that point where it was such an institution. As I previously said, the sixth season - the first one to have such a major, radical change from previous years - was so bad that it was almost canceled (according to TV Tropes, seasons 11 and 20 were the only other...
Top ten animated women that I liked back when I was too young to like girls (and given how young I was, these would not have been crushes, but for the characters they were):
1. Natasha Fatale, Rocky and Bullwinkle
2. Tinkerbelle, Disney's Peter Pan
3. Dot, Animaniacs
4. Snow White, Snow White...
Another thing that I thought: Beauregard could have had the roles of Mr. Arrow or Squire Trelawny.
So Bo wouldn't have been as stern as Sam the Eagle, and maybe Captain Smollet wouldn't hire somebody as clueless as Bo (most of the crew had been hired by Squire Trelawny, but I think Smollett...
I keep reading that Sprocket shows up somewhere in this movie... Where is Sprocket? I watched today and looked closely at scenes where I would expect to see him, but couldn't. Meanwhile, I'd also read about Droop being in this, and spotted him for the first time in this movie today (his head is...
Yeah, those spreads are kinda useless. But then there's a few different kinds of two-page spreads.
There are the two-page spreads with big images, mainly from Muppets Most Wanted (and a few from The Muppets), and a little box of text. It's a shame there's no such spreads from the other...
On Pee-Wee's Playhouse, does the red door have a knob? It seems like the door usually only gets pushed (either way), and I don't ever remember seeing a knob there. But the door does get pulled open when the Salesman shows up... How does Pee-Wee pull the door open? And does he ever lock it (with...
It would be great if DK would put out a Sesame Street Character Encyclopedia, though when interviewed on Tough Pigs Craig Shemin speculated that it wouldn't be too likely because DK is an England-based company and Sesame Street isn't as big over there.
One thing I often think about is character/production ownership, and distribution rights over the years.
I think about how the credits for the first three Muppet movies don't have a note that the Muppets were owned by The Jim Henson Company. And is it just me or do those movies lack...
Even though I have the movies on VHS and/or DVD, I decided to watch the first five on Netflix these past few days.
So are these the Blu-ray copies? If they are, I'm not too impressed by the picture quality. The quality isn't bad, but seems more like DVD quality. I remember watching The Muppet...
In Muppet Treasure Island, during the roll call sequence, most of the characters called on (and not every member of the crew is addressed by name here) have names that are puns, or ironic, or follow a pattern with other names. But then there are some names I don't get, like Smoke Eye Pea(or was...
Zippety was a great underdeveloped character. His voice kinda sounds like a Kevin Clash voice (the voice is similar to Leon). Though his personality seems a little similar to Floyd's. It's a shame he's not in The Muppets Character Encyclopedia.
