    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    Yeah, I've seen it. Looks like it's a download thing. Not really sure about downloading it.

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

    I've always liked clip shows. It's usually cool to see clips from past episodes in new episodes. It seems like sometimes there's a joke that the clip show is a way to allow the writers to take a break. But they still need somebody to write the linking footage (okay, maybe they just need one...

    Pre-Order "Muppets Most Wanted" Blu-ray available August 12

    I wonder if they did plan something that was cut from the script before the finished version. The Muppets Character Encyclopedia mentions that she returned for Muppets Most Wanted, and Craig Shemin did work from a draft of the script. I know that they made a little big deal out of it in a few...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    Well, for me, part of it is more ordering online than the cost. I tend to prefer to do things by actually going out and doing them over doing things online or by phone. I have looked at Amazon's pages for them a few years ago and saw that the average one was in the $20 range (which I would have...

    Pre-Order "Muppets Most Wanted" Blu-ray available August 12

    There's something I kind of want to know, kind of want to be surprised about, but unsure if I really want to be surprised or not.... But does this have the rumored* scene where Lips gets a line (maybe you could answer this one in "spoilers")? *the fact that Lips has a line isn't really the...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    What else is there that's related to super and numbers? Has Super Grover ever taught counting (I don't know off-hand, but don't remember any such segments)? Has The Count ever been a superhero? Of course, according to Muppet Wiki, 13 Teeny Little Super Guy segments were produced, but only 8...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    One thing about these videos that has been on my mind: So I can never find used copies of these anywhere, and don't really want to order online. A handful of these can be viewed on YouTube or Daily Motion (and a few others were online but taken offline within a short time frame). But one thing I...

    Questions about anything

    There's something I've noticed on a few things I've watched online (and coincidentally they're all Muppet productions). I've noticed that sometimes when a scene transitions at the very side of the screen we see video of something else, usually what comes before or after that transition. I guess...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Shortly after I made my post I figured it'd probably include at least the Numeric Con street story. And now it's confirmed that that street story will be included (we still don't know if it will be two full episodes or just street stories and inserts). The announced bonus features are a...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    A few years ago I had read that in the new movie that although the turtles would be costumes, they would have CGI faces. Anybody know whether this happened in the new movie (I haven't really paid attention to the commercials to figure it out) or if maybe they canceled that idea?

    Sesame Street episode highlights from 1977

    When reading that one article about making digital copies in 1999 and providing a system where they can find what clips they're looking for through keywords, it kind of sounds like what I've heard about the upcoming "Simpsons World" app where fans can view any episode, even being able to find...

    The Muppet Show Season 3: Thoughts

    While it is one of the three best seasons, it seems like a number of characters were starting to be used a lot less this season (though they would have fairly big parts in The Muppet Movie). There's not as much Crazy Harry, Sweetums, or Dr. Teeth as in the previous seasons. It's especially...

    For the first time on YouTube ever...

    It seems the 20th anniversary special avoided showing any former cast members. The clip of Big Bird learning of Mr. Hooper's death was edited to remove most shots of Olivia, but she can barely be seen during the group hug at the end. At least this one does show former cast members quite a...

    Underrated TMS Episodes

    I wonder if guest stars play a factor in being over- or underrated (or just plain classics). There's some guests (like Elton John and Steve Martin) who are still relevant today, and some (such as Peter Sellers, Julie Andrews, Bob Hope, and Edgar Bergen) who seem to be "legends" in show business...

    For the first time on YouTube ever...

    It's interesting how this doesn't use the recent "calypso" version of the theme that had debuted around that time. The version of the theme at the beginning sounds like the backing track to the version from Sesame Street Special, while the end music is the classic harmonica closing theme.

    Underrated TMS Episodes

    I disagree about a few of those episodes not having the raw feeling I've mentioned, but I guess we can all have different opinions on that. Though just because an episode feels very "raw" doesn't mean that it's a terrible episode. As for other underrated episodes, I feel like the Teresa...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    I think you're mixing up the Play-Along Videos with the Playhouse Video compilations. Playhouse Video put out the compilations, such as The Muppet Revue and The Kermit and Piggy Story, while the Play-Along Videos were completely new footage (well, the Mother Goose Stories one was a release of...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    Well, I feel it would be great for many old clips to appear on the show, to audiences that don't neccessarily buy DVDs or use the internet (though there's not many who don't use the internet these days). Especially since, if they did continue showing older clips, maybe they'd randomly show some...

    Sesame Street episode highlights from 1977

    It's also interesting how that article stated that their new system for locating segments for new episodes came a few years before the format change, when they would start airing longer segments and significantly less classic clips. Though even without the majority of classic-era clips there...

    Underrated TMS Episodes

    Yeah, it seems like it's mostly the first half of the first season with "raw feeling" episodes, with a few "stronger feeling" episodes here and there, and a few more "raw feeling" episodes near the end of the season, especially episode 24. Of course, that's most likely a result of the production...
