Recently I saw that Funko Pop released a Chuckie toy, only it's advertised as Child's Play 2. What's the deal with that? It couldn't just be advertised as a "Child's Play" (or a "Chuckie") toy? I'm pretty sure the toy wasn't some CH2 variation.

I tend to think about how England-based performers usually only perform in productions made in England, and Canandian-based performers are limited to Canandian productions, and yet there doesn't seem to be any problems getting American-based performers to perform in productions made outside of...

I wonder if speed makes a difference in credit sequences regarding whether they're all stacks of credits that show up, then disappear, then another stack (which comprises all of TMMs credits but only parts of the other credits) vs. having the credits scroll up. The first few times I saw The...

During the Jim Henson Video era it seems many Disney "video guides" would have a big Jim Henson Video section. I can't remember if this was the case for most of them, but I remember at least one of them (the first of these I remember) the Muppet section was upside-down compared to the rest of...

There are a lot of productions not mentioned in The Works (or only mentioned in the timeline chapter). That book didn't provide any mention of such unsold pilots as Land of Tinkerdee, Star Boppers, or The Wizard of Id (though it's possible the master tapes were lost and later found, maybe also...

One thing that's on my mind is Thog's appearance in the number "I Feel the Earth Move". Besides being a giant in that appearance, I've always thought there was something different/odd about his appearance compared to his other appearances. In almost all his other appearances he has a rather...

I think I still have one of these, though I'm not completely sure. Ditto with a few additional "video guides" with Muppet sections that were packaged with Disney releases at the time.

I felt like it made a bit more sense, since Sex and Violence feels more like a Muppet Show pilot than the Valentines Show. I think they wanted to include both but there wasn't disc space for both (though season three was able to make room for The Muppets on Puppets, with some of the discs having...

I mentioned that it was listed among her filmography at Muppet Wiki (and there is a picture there). http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Mean_Mama

I just noticed that on the page for Howard Tubman, it mentions that his first love is musical theater choreography. I guess that's meant to reference his role in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie. The original mock-up pages that were shown online included a picture from The Muppets'...

According to the Mean Mama page at Muppet Wiki, Mean Mama's last appearance was in an episode of Dog City (and the page has a picture from her appearance). However, it is not said which episode she appeared in. I checked "what links here" but couldn't find any Dog City episodes, and then I...

The good thing is that all of those clips can be viewed online without Dr. Teeth's voice-over (as most Muppet Show clips on YouTube re taken from the episodes they originated in as opposed to the compilations), but back then viewers didn't have that option (though the show was more widely...

Thinking about the possibilities of a trading card collection where each card is of a scene from the show, here's what clips I'd represent: 1. Big Bird Meets Sally (episode 1) 2. Rubber Duckie (season 2) 3. C is for Cookie (original) 4. Wanda the Witch 5. Snuffy in the New York marathon 6. Luis...

Another observation about "Rock Music" is that Beaker makes a LOT more explosions than I had remembered. I thought he only made explosions in the intro to "Don't Blame the Dynamite" (and mistakenly thought that was when Dr. Teeth told Beaker to promise he'll never do that again before Beaker...

At one point in the Rugrats episode "Feeding Hubert", Angelica gives the Rugrats tips on how to make a "can of monster food", but why is Angelica helping the babies there? Considering her first line when she enters is her asking if they're talking about the "monster" who eats their trash, I...

Top ten episodes of The Muppet Show by season: Season 1: 1. Connie Stevens 2. Rita Moreno 3. Jim Nabors 4. Paul Williams 5. Harvey Korman 6. Peter Ustinov 7. Candice Bergen 8. Avery Scrieber 9. Valerie Harper 10. Kaye Ballard Season 2: 1. Zero Mostel 2. Judy Collins 3. Steve Martin 4...

Didn't think about the fact that Statler and Waldorf don't interact with Piggy much, though I did notice they don't heckle her often (maybe make the occasional fat joke). But with her karate skills, would YOU heckle Miss Piggy? Though they have sung along to a few of her songs, like "The Boy...

Top ten Weird Al songs that I like significantly less than when I first heard them: 1. My Bologna 2. Fat 3. Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies 4. Generic Blues 5. Traffic Jam 6. She Never Told Me She Was a Mime 7. Bedrock Anthem 8. It's All About the Pentiums 9. Trash Day 10. Whatever You...

Oh. I thought the tune sounded a little different (I thought maybe he was singing some sort of opera), but then again, he also only sang a few words before Dr. Teeth interrupted him.

Thinking back to my idea of anniversary trading cards, I keep thinking of several different options for character cards featuring still images from their best moments, though still wanting the "main image" to be a picture that's not a still (and I think all of the characters I listed have such a...
