    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    The Muppets have to rescue a spy played by Pierce Brosnan, one of the James Bond actors? Sounds similar to how Looney Tunes: Back in Action had them rescuing a spy played by Timothy Dalton, who had also played James Bond. Not a bad idea, though.

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    Lately I've been thinking about how Follow That Bird doesn't have any big production numbers by the cast on the street. I feel there should have been one at the beginning or end (All Together Now seems like it would have been great if sung by the cast, as opposed to being sung by Alabama on the...

    Questions about anything

    After reading about how Weird Al Yankovic's Mandatory Fun album is his first to be #1 in the Billboard charts, I must ask how do the charts work? Does Billboard only track sales of current/recent releases? I recall reading that Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is the highest-selling album of all...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Recently, the Tough Pigs forum has had a thread on Weird Al Yankovic, and I saw somebody mention listening to all the albums in order and noticed that Weird Al's work started getting a lot more "slicker" at Even Worse. That may just be one fans opinion, and I hadn't really noticed it before, but...

    Awkward full-body Muppets

    At first I thought this would be about full-body characters who were awkwardly performed. I'd say some of the full-body shots in The Muppets are awkward, particularly Scooter standing and sweeping. And some full-body shots of Telly in Follow That Bird look kinda weird. But Muppets pretty...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    I saw that somebody on YouTube made a few playlists (in multiple parts... Is there a limit on how many videos can be in a playlist?) on Weird Al Yankovic, which features nearly everything Weird Al did (that can be viewed on YouTube), in chronological order, and I keep thinking it'd be cool if...

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

    I wonder if any of the deleted scenes will appear online as "sneak peeks" to the Blu-ray. Especially considering the deleted scenes will be part of the extended cut as opposed to being their own special feature.

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Had that one in my head before.

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Most of the tracks from Weird Al's newest album Mandatory Fun are in my head, especially Tacky, Word Crimes, Sports Song, and Jackson Park Express. In addition to all those, Fancy (which was also parodied on the album as Handy) has been in my head. Just the other day I was making up all kinds...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    I wonder if she wasn't included because she's so obscure and there's not many good pictures of her, or if it's because she's basically nameless (the book does have other "nameless" characters, but their titles are known... I wonder if Craig Shemin even knew she was called Trumpet Girl in...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    One thing that's interesting is that the three videos that don't feature Kermit in the linking footage also have the least amount of Kermit content (in fact I recently realized that Muppet Treasures only has two clips with Kermit, both of which have him in a minor role, but at least he hosts the...

    TV Tropes

    Something has just occurred to me: People often use the "spoiler" highlight so people who don't want to be spoiled won't have to see it. But then suppose somebody is wanting to avoid spoilers but they also want to make an edit that occurs right below that spoiler, where if they edit they'll be...

    Questions about anything

    I've seen commercials recently for both Steak n Shake and Geico which feature a young male who looks similar as a sidekick-type character to somewhat eccentric characters. Anybody know whether they are the same actor? Here's the commercials:

    The "You know what?" thread

    Last night I watched Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation, and I must wonder, do Buster and Babs' parents know that they're gone? In the movie it seems Babs has a lot of siblings (Buster probably as well), so maybe it's hard for their parents to notice if one of their kids is missing...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    I've noticed that at the beginning of Big Hello 1-20, there's quite a few seconds of silence before Big Bird starts talking. That segment seems like something that would open an episode, so I wonder if perhaps that segment originally began with the ending of the theme song and it was muted for...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I recently saw the recent street story where Ernie directs a movie with Bert, and have thought of three great ideas for DVDs that could include that one. One, an idea I've already had, would be a new Bert and Ernie spotlight video, with this episode and the flood episode where they stay at...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    So has that big nonfiction book on the Ninja Turtles been released yet? I thought I'd heard it was released (and haven't heard anything about it since), but I haven't found a copy anywhere. Though I have found a TMNT book advertised as an "ultimate fan book", but it appears to be more for...

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    When I started reading that I thought you were saying it was a Pearl and Deena (as in Deena and Pearl) segment from Sesame Street.

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

    Last night I saw a couple episodes of Lassie (well, parts of them) where it seemed like there were no humans at all, and then was told that there was a season that rarely had humans (and then I read the wikipedia page which confirmed that). What's the deal with that? Were they trying to work...
