I didn't watch the whole show in its original broadcast (and it's actually not often I make an effort to catch Muppet appearances on shows I don't watch... It sort of feels weird that the only Late Night with Jimmy Fallon I've seen was his last), but I just now watched the opening monologue...

One thing I wonder: With a lot of new information given to existing characters, and this book's lack of behind-the-scenes information, I wonder if any errors in the book (besides listing incorrect first appearances for characters, if there are any errors on first appearances) would count as...

Wow, that's later than I would have expected. Almost prime time hours.

I know that Vogel is/was part of a band (The Mighty Weaklings). Though I don't know whether his role in that band includes singing.

Really? I keep looking at the content listing page on Muppet Wiki and Frackles is not listed. I guess it might be an oversight. And by Green Frackle, it is Gloat, right, and not the one that's also known as Green Scoff (that characters design was labeled "Green Frackle", but was actually...

Maybe Sam and Friends is included for historical sake (though it could have just been mentioned in the Kermit section). I know that The Jim Henson Company recently rebuilt Yorick for Puppet Up, and the company did put a Sam and Friends clip (with Kermit, no less) on its YouTube channel. But I...

Something I've been wondering lately: During the original run, what days/time of days was the show typically broadcast? I assume it was once a week (there's not enough episodes for it to have been a daily show, unless it just lasted a season or two). Was it broadcast on Saturday morning? Any...

At first I thought the commercial was annoying, but after seeing it a few times I've come to like the camel. Of course I hadn't heard of Hump Day until those commercials. And yes, he is a lot better than those bland Gecko and Pig characters I never really liked. As far as I know he's only...

At first I wondered if this would just be the Electric Mayhem. In fact during Janice's first shot I thought I saw a glimpse of Lips, but then after the camera widened to show the rest of the band and Lips wasn't shown with them I wondered if I had been seeing things (in fact I still might have...

When it comes to characters from The Muppet Show, the only ones I'm truly shocked aren't in it are Gaffer and the Gogolala Jubilee Jugband (oh, and Droop and Blue Frackle). The Muppet Wiki rundown of the book mentions some pages that feature characters that don't have their own pages (like...

I was surprised to see that Splurge is in this. Also surprised to see the book has Rufus but not Muppy.

I don't know how I answered my own question. Particularly the part about the pre-video era when people didn't know that one day their works would be purchased. But I wonder, since when television began residuals were only for the first five broadcasts, I wonder if that also applied to song...

And I wonder why music rights should be cleared again. I would have thought that, whether the concept of home video was heard of or not, if the music was cleared in the first place, it should remain for all releases in whatever country. I know that music rights are what's keeping The Wonder...

The Muppet Show and Sesame Street are both live-action and DVDs of those had songs edited. Additionally, the SCTV DVDs had song edits and music replacements. Of course for that show, for the original broadcasts they never even bothered to get music rights cleared in the first place. And...

Just saw that. And there are some surprises there. I'll try not to spoil much information that I found there. Surprised to see a Sam and Friends section. Does this mean that Disney does own the Sam and Friends characters? Is there a copyright acknowledgement that they belong to Henson (Before...

So what kind of non-character pages are there? I know there's Veterinarian's Hospital and Gonzo's Great Acts, and I figure if it has Vets Hospital it must have a Pigs in Space page. So if Muppets Most Wanted is given a lot of focus for the characters who appear in that movie, does the movie...

I kinda feel the same way about "Hey, it's that voice!" and "Hey, it's that guy!" Anybody who's acted in multiple roles could easily get that. And a lot of voice actors do use a lot of the same voices for many roles. It seems "Hey, it's that guy!" should be more appropriate for actors who...

Does it reveal whether Constantine is the only new Muppet character in Muppets Most Wanted? Does Miss Poogy get a page, is she lumped in a "Moopets" page, does each member of the Moopets get their own page, or are none of the Moopets included at all? I learned yesterday that it doesn't have...

The book probably just lists Kermit's first appearance as Sam and Friends, but wouldn't it be funny if the book actually listed an episode number for Kermit's first appearance? I doubt the archives would have that kind of information, and we wouldn't know anything about the episode by number (I...

Some tropes seem to be very similar to each other (I guess similar to how this forum has threads that are similar, like the "Questions About Anything" and "You ever notice... and what's the deal?" threads... and in a way the "You know what" thread is kinda similar to the "You ever notice..."...
