The Muppet Mindset posted a review yesterday. It was said that it gives great details about all of Jim's productions, which gets me excited. But I wonder if that means it talks in great detail about productions that don't get much discussion in biogrpahies, interviews, documentaries, and such...

I haven't heard that song, either. I also hadn't heard "Call Me Maybe" before the "Share It Maybe" parody. And many of the shows parodies from the last few years are parodies of shows I hadn't heard of before that. After learning a bit more about this season, I'm a bit excited. It's weird...

In the interview Kathy Mullen said that Jim was hiring new female performers when preparing for The Dark Crystal. That makes me wonder if he had intended on having the performers voice the characters at one point.

It's interesting what stuff Sesame Workshop took off the show years ago and, in recent years, has released to the public again, whether in Noggin reruns, iTunes episodes, sesamestreet.org, or DVD releases. Though in the case of full episode releases, it seems like Sesame Workshop has only...

You know, when I hear songs from before 1981, I tend to think they'd be good on The Muppet Show. And when I hear songs from the 1980s, I tend to think they'd have been good on The Jim Henson Hour. But hearing 1990s songs doesn't give me that effect regarding Muppets Tonight. You could also say...

I was watching A Goofy Movie last night, and it makes me wonder, was Bobby on eof Max's best friends up to that time, or just somebody he knew from school who helped him become cool with the whole school? I know PJ is Max's best friend, but the advertisements play up Bobby as his best friend...

There's been behind-the-scenes photos of what looked like Steve performing Constantine, and I wondered whether that was Constantine or Kermit posing as Constantine. But now that we know he has a smaller-pointed collar and slightly different pupils, we know that it is Kermit posing. Too bad...

This has been a great interview so far. I think this is the first time Kathy Mullen did a big interview, especially for a Muppet fan site, so there's a lot I didn't know. I'm hoping that someday Tough Pigs or The Muppet Mindset (or maybe even Muppet Central) can score an interview with Camille...

Looks like a great trailer. So far Rizzo and Pepe are the only characters from that first promotional image to be spotted.

One thing I wonder, since these documents were sold online, I wonder if Disney has multiple copies. Or if Disney scanned the info on a computer file. It'd be a shame if somebody at Disney just carelessly sold all legal documents on what they have and what Henson still has. I've read some...

Regarding them not being allowed to release this, I wonder if it's just to fans or commercially altogether. Maybe the animator is one of those who is hard to negotiate with (do we know what other animated inserts he's done for the show?). I don't know what the deal was with that one fan who...

So glad footage from Here Come the Puppets was uploaded. I've been looking for footage online for years. At first I thought the reason I had trouble finding it was because it was listed as "Festival 1980", but then saw that it was actually uploaded today. Is it just me or does it sound like...

I had no idea the program guides actually separated 15-minute parts of the show and referred to the minutes. I also didn't realize they listed the minutes of individual segments. I'd expect that on a private CTW document (one not meant to be released to the public) but not a program guide sent...

I found a pre-completed copy of a Twiddlebugs sketch, from before the voices were sped-up. I assume this is a "real" copy (as in nobody slowed down the actual footage) but I wonder how they obtained it. It's cool hearing how they really sounded like before the voices were sped-up (Papa and Mama...

Now I remember one of the commercials I couldn't find! There's one from 1995 where a kid gives his school report, talking about his trip to Walt Disney World. Most of what he says sounds off-the-wall/made-up out-of-context (and he doesn't really specifically where he went), and at the end...

Ever notice how in media, bald characters with hair around the sides of their heads are often referred to as having no hair? They still have the hair that goes around the back of their heads, so it's not like they are completely hairless (though still definitely bald). Like in one episode of...

It's great to see so many classic commercials online, and I especially like the various YouTube compilations of commercials from certain eras. But there are also many commercials I'd like to see again that I can't find on YouTube. And now, all of a sudden, I can't remember what I wanted to...

I don't know if the user who posted this thread was aware of that thread (though it has come back recently so it's more likely that he saw it), but that thread's about asking what the appeal of retro commercials are. This one comes off more as a thread about our favorite classic commercials in...

This was great. Where'd you find the info?

Wow, I've seen all of those commercials online, and two out of three on TV ("Where's the beef?" I've seen on TV Land as a retromercial). One of my favorites is this Game Boy Pocket ad with teenagers and old people bickering. And there's also this Nestlie Quick commercial (which...
