Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
After a week of Constantine in the game, I have finally found and captured him twice. Finding him has been easier than I expected (unless he's hidden so well more times than I'm aware of). I expected him to slightly creep parts of his body from behind objects, but every time I found him, his...
I would expect a "second edition" to include most of the same content but also more characters and maybe updated info. I would expect a second volume to just have characters not in the first. That's why I thought a second edition would be more likely. A second edition would still have all the...
I'd be surprised if we got a volume 2. I could see an expanded edition, with the characters Disney wouldn't allow (or, more likely, characters who get introduced in a future).
I read that Craig Shemin made a list of characters he wanted to include, with Disney shortening the list for various...
All this talk about Garfield not having a lot of characters makes me think, if Bill Watterson had licensed Calvin and Hobbes, most of the toys would probably be of the title characters.
That was great.
Wasn't expecting that kind of closing sequence. If the show was picked up, I wonder if it would have regularly had Kermit just barely avoiding getting hit by all those doors, or if maybe we'd just see the doors and credits. I wonder if it was a challenge to do that without...
Looking at some Toughpigs posts, I read that Craig Shemin said that the reason most Jim Henson Hour characters weren't included was because the rights were so murky that it'd likely never get a home video release. So I guess the lack of those characters was because the fans might not be able to...
A lot of people criticize the Garfield comic strip for being overly-merchandised, and I think Jim Davis has admitted that he wanted the character to be marketable. But if licensing was really important to Jim Davis, shouldn't there have been more characters in the comic strip?
The main...
Is it just me, or did the Peanuts specials become more "kiddie" in the 1990s? I haven't seen any of the '90s specials in years, but I remember "It's Spring Training, Charlie Brown" being a bit more juvenile (especially with that one song), while I haven't seen it It's My Best Birthday Ever...
After reading the Junior Novel and watching all the footage and such that's been online, I'd like to make lists of similarities between this and The Great Muppet Caper, and simialrities between this and The Muppets Take Manhattan. Maybe that'd be better to do after I see the finished movie, as...
I don't see it as similar to Hey a Movie (except for the brief cameo by Dominique, which is similar and sorta-random to Nickey Holiday's cameo in that number). It looks more like a cross between "Right Where We Belong" and "Miss Piggy's Fantasy". Actually, after listening to the song in my head...
I read on the Tough Pigs forum that Craig Shemin recently revealed that he wanted to include Spamela Hamderson, but Disney said no because the company was afraid Pamela Anderson would sue. But she's a parody, Pamela Anderson could really sue over it? Was Disney afraid of such a lawsuit when they...
People have been speculating whether all the characters in The Muppets Character Encyclopedia will be in this, and have pointed out characters who don't appear in the book. I must point out that those flamingos aren't in the book.
In the section on Whatnots, I noticed two who look like Zeke. One is dressed as a jungle man, without sunglasses (and his eyes there look like Zeke's eyes in Rocky Mountain Holiday), appearing with a jungle girl who looks like Lou. And then Zeke is shown dressed in a leather jacket.
There's...
It says that throughout post-production of The Muppets Take Manhattan, Frank Oz kept asking Jim to have the opening credits say "A Frank Oz Film", and Jim just saying "we'll see" before he finally got what he wanted. But most films have "A (directors name) Film" before the title. I wonder why...
I didn't really see any similarities to "Hey a Movie" in that. The only similarites I noticed were Kermit suddenly being in an outfit and a cameo by the bad guy.
The book also has the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, who I doubt will return for anything again. Also the Cratchet children, and the Sam and Friends cast.
Top ten least favorite Peanuts specials:
10. It's the Pied Piper, Charlie Brown
