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

    I thought it was strange that there's a 2DS coming out. The 3DS came out just a few years ago, seems kinda soon (and I wasn't interested in one until last Christmas season). Of course it seems each system can only have one New Super Mario Bros. and Mario Kart game, so I guess this means...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Maybe those are the best-selling (which can be different from what fans see as best, or what old-time collectors like best). I feel some of those are appropriate choices (Elmo's Alphabet Challenge, The Best of Elmo), but still, it could have had LearningAbout Letters or Learning About Numbers...

    The Great Muppet Caper and Muppet Treasure Island coming to Blu-ray December 10

    Yeah, there is a lot in there that's a bit confusing for me to comprehend. Like a section that says that the seller (Henson) acknowledged that some Muppet productions feature characters retained by the company as well as references to the company and that buyer (Disney) does not object to those...

    Tiger handheld Dinosaurs game

    Today, a new episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd was posted online, a review of various Tiger Electronics video games, and at one point the Nerd talks about the Dinosaurs game. I didn't know that there WAS a Dinosaurs video game at all, though at the same time it looks familiar. I searched...

Top ten songs I first heard after making all those "top ten (insert decade or artist or whatever here) lists" 9. Top ten horror or horror-themed movies 8. Top...

    The Great Muppet Caper and Muppet Treasure Island coming to Blu-ray December 10

    Here's a blog with many of the scans, including the lists of what Disney has the rights to and what Henson does: http://boyraisin2.blogspot.com/2013/01/disney-henson-who-owns-what.html

    Questions about anything

    So does anybody know why early TV broadcasts of The Great Muppet Caper had the Universal logo at the beginning? I thought ITC Entertainment was the original distributor of Henson's first three feature films, but I have seen Universal listed as a distributor on websites like Internet Movie...

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

    It seems like the Tom and Jerry: The Movie commercials barely showed any scenes with them talking. I remember once seeing a commercial with a clip from the "Friends to the End" song and thought, "Is Tom talking in that scene?", but still didn't think much about it until I finally saw the movie...

    The Great Muppet Caper and Muppet Treasure Island coming to Blu-ray December 10

    With Sesame it shouldn't be hard to determine - anything Sesame Street or Sesame-related is owned by Sesame Workshop (but Sesame Workshop doesn't own any crossovers with the Muppets). In fact The Jim Henson Company only owned the rights to the characters and the distribution rights to one...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    On November 12 there will be a "Best of Sesame Street" box set, featuring The Best of Elmo, Guess That Shape and Color, Elmo's World: What Makes You Happy, Singing with the Stars, and... well, I can't remember what else off-hand. I feel like some of the choices are odd, but maybe the selection...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    In the speculations for the 45th anniversary thread, I posted a desire for Sesame Street to do a "Classics Collection" line of DVDs every other month. One thing I thought would be good would be if the first release was Old School Volume 4 (if we don't get one this year) and ended the year with a...

    Yeah, Big Bird's Reading Hotline.... I guess your post mixed up my brain signals.

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    Now I'm thinking it would be great if Sesame Workshop would celebrate the anniversary with a special "classics collection" of DVDs, I'm thinking put out one every other month (which would give us six in one year), alternating each month with the releases of DVDs aimed at the shows current...

    shows within a show with different video titles

    And while I don't think it was neccessarily a "show within a show", there's Big Bird's Number Show in Getting Ready to Read.

    TV Tropes

    I wonder if The Jim Henson Hour would qualify then. Of course that still doesn't explain why the cult classics page has The Simpsons, South Park, Looney Tunes, or Peanuts specials on there.

    TV Tropes

    Hmm, you know, I often have trouble understanding the definition, even when reading it. The Muppets are and have been popular, but a number of fans here have mentioned that the fandom often seems "underground". I saw Looney Tunes and various Peanuts specials and movies (including the two...

    TV Tropes

    I've found the Cult Classics page, and I am shocked to see that The Muppet Show and Muppet movies are not listed (ditto for anything Sesame Street). I would think that would be popular enough (at least as popular as Looney Tunes, which is listed). There's a few other shows I don't see listed...
