    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Thinking about "Elmo and Friends", whatever that is, I wonder if it could be like "Best of Friends", only with more Elmo. I could see it having about two Elmo segments in a row, then a section of skits on different characters, including one appearance with Elmo if possible. For example, it could...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    Yeah I find it odd that the most frequent recurring sketch is one that barely has any Muppets (could it have been featured more because it had live actors who otherwise wouldn't be working on the show?). I often wonder why each episode of MuppeTelevision and the various specials only had a...

    The Muppets on Puppets vs. Secrets of the Muppets

    I haven't done any "vs" threads in quite awhile, so I thought it be fun to do this thread, asking which is better: The Muppets on Puppets or The Secrets of the Muppets? Both are specials hosted by Jim Henson explaining how his characters work, with the Muppets being presented as real even...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    It's interesting how in the introduction Kermit asks all the monsters who aren't included not to eat him for it, as it seems like it has almost every Muppet monster, at least of those introduced on The Muppet Show (and then some before, like Splurge, who was retired before the show began)...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Yesterday, I was watching an episode of Family Guy, which had a scene where Stewie was reading the first Garfield book, Garfield at Large, and he mentions that Garfield hates Nermal, as if that's part of the book. But Nermal doesn't appear in Garfield at Large. In fact, his first appearance...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Interestingly, the cover image looks different from the other Sesame Street releases from Warner Bros. (it looks more like a Sony Wonder cover). I wonder if Warner is changing its style for Sesame covers. And in the last two years, most of the DVD covers noted "Over 2 hours of fun!" (in some...

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

    Yeah I had that on the back of my mind and was going to say that but forgot.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I just saw a "Sesame Bits" comic which promotes a new DVD called Elmo and Friends, yet I had been unaware of such a DVD. Anybody know anything about this (I can't find anything online)? I'm hoping it's like a sequel to "Best of Friends". EDIT: Muppet Wiki now has info, but says it comes out...

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

    It's interesting that Jim Henson chose not to be a director on Sesame Street because he thought it'd slow him down as a performer, because he had directed a lot of productions he performed in, both before and after. I assume he directed every episode of Sam and Friends (well, maybe not the ones...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    Well, after looking at that section, it seems the Snowth, Cute, and a few other Koozebanians are all featured in an image where they are taking The Newsman away. I haven't seen this image before, but I guess it doesn't exactly mean that the Snowths are from Koozebane (it could just be that a...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    One thing I had wondered which is confirmed by me reading the book is the fact that there's no humans pictured in this (well, actually, the Nigel page has an image of the control room, including some monitors that have a human on them, though I can't tell who that human is, and one of Paul...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Top ten times "Two and a Half Men" jumped the shark: 10. when the show continued after Charlie Sheen got fired (even though I like the Ashton Kutcher episodes a little better) 9. when Rose apparently got away with killing Charlie (but Rose is so cute I'll let that slide) 8. when Alan went from...

    Questions about anything

    Are the Simpsons "Complete Guide" books still in print separately? It seems the first "Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family" used to be easier to find in stores than the follow-up books (the sequels seemed to only be easy to find around the time they came out. Good thing I got those...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I'd like to know what the most uneccessary pieces of Garfield and Peanuts merchandise are. These days I don't really see much Garfield merchandise in stores (mainly books at my local Books-A-Million). I think I only vaguely seeing a lot of Garfield stuff in gift shops in the past. Though I...
