    The official ALS Ice Bucket Challenge thread

    What I want to know is, what are the consequences for NOT having water dumped or donating to charity if you are challenged? I looked at wikipedia and a few other web pages but couldn't find out anything that happens if you do neither. And if you get challenged after you've already been and...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    That trailer for Save Our Street was great. So we got to hear what Mr. Meanie sounded like (when I heard that voice I thought it sounded like either Marty Robinson or Brian Meehl... Then I found that it wasn't any of the Muppet performers). Wow, in one trailer we see Snuffy standing behind Big...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    Not only one character, but also only one scene. So did they make you a special copy of the red book, or did they just give away the only one?

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    I think I've suggested an idea somewhere where many performances of the same song appear on one release, but a new idea I've had would be a DVD of the songs that have had the most performances... And combine the various renditions in one montage. Like the "C is for Cookie mash-up" that appears...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    By "correspond", I assume you mean he didn't send any notes, memos, or letters to the Children's Television Workshop, Warner Bros., the director, or anyone else involved with the creative aspects of the film, right? Though I remember seeing an interview with the films director, Ken Kwapis...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    In Adventures in Babysitting, when the main characters end up in a car right before it gets hot wired, the driver promises to drop them off somewhere after he drops off the car he stole... Why didn't he just drop them off first before going there? It's even pointed out by the bad guys (who give...

    TV Tropes

    There's a few things in the section on Man on the Moon that I find interesting: So a movie about an audience-alienating performer is audience-alienating? So maybe it was audience-alienating when the actual events happened, those watching the movie without knowledge of what happened would be...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I just read that there's going to be a "Best of Rocky and Bullwinkle Volume 3" DVD, and I've read that it's supposed to tie in with a Bullwinkle movie that's coming out this October. This is the first I've heard about any such Bullwinkle movie, and if it's coming out this October, shouldn't I...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Well, I saw the movie last night. It was decent. Very funny at one point where somebody asks April if the turtles are aliens and she says that that would be stupid (I guess the write did a "take that" towards Michael Bays original concept). So out of all the characters created for the original...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    Another thing I've wondered, which I have noted previously in this thread: The book does talk a lot about how ACC originally owned the distribution rights to a number of Jim Henson's productions before he purchased the rights, but it also mentions that when he purchased The Dark Crystal (and I...

    Awkward full-body Muppets

    Maybe they don't have pants in the Fraggle world.

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    I don't remember e-mailing you at all about the book (though I know I did e-mail Michael Davis about Street Gang after that book came out).

    So It's Come to This: A Clip Show Thread

    You misunderstood what I meant. I meant that shows like The Nostalgia Critic seem like they'd be hard to do clip shows because they rely so much on footage from existing productions (in fact I guess it'd be harder to do a clip show for Mystery Science Theater 3000).

    Animal's First Hair Cut

    I'm at a loss as to what kind of advice to give, besides the advice I've seen Jim Lewis give to aspiring writers (Muppets or otherwise): Just do it.

    Animal's First Hair Cut

    I wrote this fan fic within a day or two after coming up with the idea. I've done a lot of fan fics after coming up with a plot within a short time, and usually when I start I get really into coming up with ideas fast enough that readers don't have to wait too long between chapters (never a...

    Animal's First Hair Cut

    And you forgot to ask about the barber, who would be performed by Dave Goelz.
