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

    Ever notice how there seems to be quite a few jokes about how the Rocky film series has had many sequels, but many of them seem to have come before it had an unusual number. And by today's standards would a film series with five or more installments really be considered a lot? There's only...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I remember reading a long time ago, I think the website was called Disney Ever Notice?, that the only characters from The Lion King to have walk-around versions are Timon and Rafiki (really? he's one of my least-favorite characters from the movie) because they are the only ones who walk on two...

    The "Have You Ever Wondered..." Thread

    I've wondered, on The Red Green Show, which recurring sketch was harder to write: The "Word Game" segments or the "Handyman Corner" segments. Both seem like they'd be complicated... The Word Games seem like they would be simple, but there is the task of finding creative ways for the contestants...

    Questions about anything

    I've never noticed that before. I don't know how, but The Cat in the Hat can read with his eyes shut.

    Questions about anything

    Whenever a live-action movie or program has a scene where somebody shows a video they did on YouTube, and we actually see the video appear on YouTube (or a similar site) on their computer, do they actually put the video clip on YouTube, meaning anybody can see it? Or do they put it online but...

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

    In Man on the Moon, which was based on a true story but true story movies often change facts for drama and such, Andy Kauffman's manager didn't know that Andy Kauffman was Tony Cliffton until after Andy was offered a role on Taxi and his manager came to see Tony Cliffton perform. But shortly...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I already said this in the "you ever notice... and what's the deal?" thread, but I think it should be said here. In the song 1985, they say that the woman's "two kids, in high school, tell her that she's uncool, 'cause she's still preoccupied with 1985". But at the time the song came out...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Last night I dreamt that I went to a store and saw various Muppet toys. Most of them were two-packs, though a few of the same characters were also packaged with others (I've seen toys of The Looney Tunes Show sold like this as well, with a Bugs Bunny packaged with Daffy and also a Bugs packaged...

    Questions about anything

    Andy Kauffman had the alternate identity of Tony Cliffton, and he kept the fact that they were the same a secret (though many eventually found out, and then he had others play the part). What did Andy do about residuals when playing Tony Cliffton (for whenever Tony acted on-screen)? Wouldn't the...

    The "Have You Ever Wondered..." Thread

    I've wondered that about Louie, Reverend Jim, and Latka on Taxi.

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    I''d like that, too. Though I don't think of Mega Man as a legend, because I don't remember playing the games as a kid or even knowing about Mega Man back then (I recently purchased a few of the PlayStation 2 anniversary collections of the games... and boy are they all hard!).

    The Sonic the Hedgehog Thread

    I used to think Tails was a girl. Can't remember when I learned otherwise.

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

    In that song "1985", they say that the woman's "two kids, in high school" think she's uncool because she's preoccupied with 1985. But wasn' tthe 1980s considered cool by the time the song came out? And aren't high school students the best judges of what's cool? Or did I just think the 1980s were...

    Vote in my online awards show - The Pointless Awards!

    Well, voting ended a few days ago, and nobody voted. Not here, not on facebook or twitter, not in the comments section of the nomination videos (well, one user did post some write-in votes regarding the pop culture categories, but I'm not counting those). But just because nobody voted doesn't...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    Today I thought of another arrangement of what I'd do for a 45th anniversary DVD collection. I thought perhaps it could include a selection of all the signature songs of the main characters (Rubber Duckie, C is for Cookie, The Song of the Count, etc.) and a few essential songs most associated...

    Jim Henson's 1971 Number Films

    Here's the "Seven Monsters" film: Back in 2009, somebody from Muppet Wiki contacted Karen Falk, who mentioned that Jim made films for the first three seasons. I know he did a #12 film called Raisin Army, I guess that must be from the third season (unless he did two #12 films in the same year).

    Marvel prepares Muppet Omnibus

    The press release IS confusing. And how do we know the "preview" comic isn't among them (it would be great if they'd include the Pigs in Space comic that was left out of the first trade paperback). I guess a good release strategy would be for this to have the preview comic and the first...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    I thought that recurring segments often had many installments per season. Okay, so all recurring segments from JHH (Hurting Something and Merlin MD) only had two each (while Bootsy and Brad, the non-Muppet segment, got a few more???), and most of the recurring segments on Muppets Tonight only...
