    Questions about anything

    Kermit couldn't have had a bachelor party beforehand. He had amnesia, and the other Muppets found him within a few hours of the play/wedding, there wouldn't have been enough time for a bachelor party. And if they took him to Hooter's, that would depend on if there was a Hooter's in Manhattan...

    What should Disney buy next?

    But Disney always finds a way to extend copyright whenever Mickey Mouse is in danger of becoming public domain. And even if the copyright on Mickey Mouse does expire, Disney will still own the trademark as long as the character is in use (I wonder how long a character can go unused before the...

    Big Bird and Oscar on The Colbert Report

    Is it just me or did both Big Bird and Oscar's voices sound quieter than usual (I'd expect it on the one Caroll wasn't physically performing, but not both)? I expected Oscar to want to debate, though he really doesn't, and comes off as more pleasent than usual. But then again, he's probably...

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

    I haven't gotten this book yet. I think I'll wait and ask for this for Christmas (though if I see it in the store I'll probably look through it in the store, chances are I'll look in the index, if there is an index, and read about certain productions or characters I want to know more about).

    What should Disney buy next?

    They'd still need to buy Sesame Workshop to fully put all of Jim Henson's works back under one label. If they did buy Henson, I wonder if they would merge The Jim Henson Company with Muppet Studios or keep them "separate". One good thing that would come out of this would be that Henson would...

    The Cleveland Show likely to be cancelled

    Well I just read that Cleveland will be returning to Family Guy along with his family. Not sure if the supporting cast will, but I could care less if they do. I wonder if it'll be a permanant change or if it'll just be a one-episode thing. I recently read at TV Tropes that although...

    Questions about anything

    Well, I don't know what I did, but I managed to get video from my memory card working in the storyboard/timeline portion of Windows Movie Maker. Actually I think I might know what it was (when watching in Windows Media Player and clicking on various things to click on I clicked on "video" which...

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

    Okay, there haven't been any "have you seen this episode of The Simpsons"-type posts for a few months (I keep meaning to see how many pages back it's been since the last one about a speciffic Simpsons episode), so I think it should be okay to ask about a certain one I wonder about.... In the...

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

    I thought that programs produced in widescreen were supposed to be seen that way on flatscreen TVs, but I've watched many programs on flatscreen TVs where it's obvious that you can't see the whole screen. For example, even on a wider flatscreen TV, when watching Sesame Street part of the episode...

    Questions about anything

    Yes. In fact I had it in storyboard mode first, and storyboard mode doesn't have that audio-only layer. And just now I put in some video files that had already been on my computer to make sure I wasn't suddenly having a problem with all video when it comes to editing.

    Wow, I haven't seen any of these recent squirrell things.

    Questions about anything

    Sometime ago I asked about why my memory cards wouldn't work on my laptop. After doing a bit of searching online and being stumped in figuring out what to do, I thought I'd figured it out... I read somewhere that I could reformat the files on the memory card, which I did after putting it in a...

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

    How come Geico tends to have so many different mascots and gimmicks at the same time? That Gecko's been around for too long (I haven't seen any Gecko commercials lately, though... has he finally been retired?), and yet multiple different marketing gimmicks have been done at the same time. Like...

    Little things we've noticed

    I've noticed that whenever Sully appears in a scene where several characters sing, he he tends to not sing along with the others, instead just dancing to the tune or whatever, keeping his mouth shut. Examples include when Tito Puente sang "El Timbalo" (and I might be mispelling that), there's a...

    Kinect Sesame Street TV coming soon

    I was looking at the forum part of Muppet Wiki and saw that the game includes an app where you can watch a large variety of clips, including many classic clips. I read that the app even arranges them by season (as well as "classic clips", "celebrities", and so on). And I read that it even...

    Longhorn and Shorthorn - two of the rarest characters ever

    I'd seen that website and contract where Jim gave 51% of the characters to your grandfather, and was confused. At the time I didn't realize it was the rights to the characters, I thought it was for a portion of the Muppets (as in all characters and the company, even though Jim didn't officially...

    TV Tropes

    It's sad if TV Tropes really is wanting to avoid any tropes being named for programs. I can't imagine what kind of title Flanderization could be renamed to.
