    What was the purpose of the episode numbers?

    I have wondered this recently as well. But at least it allows us fans to know what number applies to each episode (except for season seven, but Muppet Wiki has info on every season 7 episode thanks to program guides from the CTW Archives). I also wonder what the purpose was of only including...

    Why does everyone hate Doug???

    I thought this thread would be a great one to point out this blog I found a few weeks ago: http://www.dougfunniesjournal.blogspot.com/ It includes entries on every episode of the Nickelodeon series and a few of the Disney series.

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    I've been thinking a bit more about my idea for multiple two-disc anniversary collections. This might sound a bit "out there", but how about four collections: A random selection of clips that mostly hadn't been released on video, a random selection of clips that have been released on video...

    Has Herry been retired?

    This thread suddenly gets me wondering... When's the last time Sesame Street introduced a lot of new characters? In the last decade it seems that the only new recurring characters we've gotten have been Murray (in season 36, and even then it took a few years before he became a main character)...

    Popular Shows that You Hate

    I have occasionally saw a little of some reality shows, mainly because other people in the house were watching them and I couldn't avoid them. The only reality show that I actually watched, and liked, was Meet the Marks (or was it Meet the Marx?), which seems to be the only reality show that was...

    Popular Shows that You Hate

    Is it okay to list shows we hate that we've never actually watched? Because I could list the majority of reality television and anime.

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

    In the Hey Arnold episode "False Alarm", Arnold manages to prove that Eugene couldn't have pulled down the fire alarm because of the Wacky Land (or was it Wanky Land? Can't remember, for the rest of this post I'll just call it Wacky Land) pencil, since he was banned from Wacky Land for...

    SST 2.0: The Grammar Club

    Enjoy this outline for Sesame Street 2.0, the Sesame series aimed at adults (which was originally an April fools announcement I made on the forums)! Scene 1 A monster overhears Cookie Monster and Elmo having a conversation and notices how Elmo uses "Elmo" instead of "I" or "me", and...

    Question about Dinosaurs episode

    There's only one sequence in the video that shows clips from various episodes. The episode Charlene's Flat World has a similar gag where she stands in front of a lamp post Earl is putting together, and as soon as she gets an idea, the light bulb lights up (as if it's there because she got an...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Muppet Wiki has a picture of the cover and description for C is for Cooking. Just as I suspected, Elmo's Magic Cookbook will be a bonus feature. Interestingly, it says that the video has "over two hours of fun, including the bonus adventure Elmo's Magic Cookbook!" I wonder if that means the main...

    Biff and Sully: Construction Workers?

    I had no idea that they worked with Maria in the episode (episodes?) where she was a construction worker. I don't think Muppet Wiki has a page for that episode. Was Maria a construction worker for more than one episode? It seems there are interviews where Sonia Manzano talks about the...

    TV Tropes

    There's something I'd like to add to the Common Knowledge page, but I don't know if the mistake is common enough (though it doesn't say how common the common knowledge has to be). But I've seen a number of things (and I can't remember where I've read it) that incorrectly say that in the...

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

    What's the deal with the fourth of july being called the fourth of july? No other holiday is named after it's date.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Maybe the season 36 episode where Big Bird and Alan make birdseed cookies? Or perhaps the recent episode where Cookie Monster is once again accused of giving up cookies (though that one's really not about cookies)? I don't doubt it can be a full two-hour video with just inserts and/or street...

    Old Nick Appreciation Thread

    Not sure if anybody was wondering, but I recently asked on the Shout Factory facebook page if the really early Nick shows like Pinwheel are included in the Nickelodeon license, and they're not. I wonder if Nickelodeon owns the rights to those early shows.

    "The Muppets" early script draft

    It's cool that they referenced the internet videos in the script. Though I don't like that they were called "internet movies". They aren't movies, just short skits/music videos of the Muppets singing. So at least in that draft they acknowledged that the Muppets have done stuff in the last...

    What Movies You Hate But Everyone Else Likes

    There's a lot of movies I hate that I haven't even seen. Mainly stuff I had no initial interest in seeing that then became insanely popular.

    Why Is Sesame Street Such A Controversial Lightning Rod?

    Of course I don't. And if other people don't want real, then it's a shame they don't cancel all those reality shows. Some have mentioned modern shows that aren't "real", and I hadn't really noticed that about The Big Bang Theory or 2 Broke Girls. Actually, "real" can be good if it's...

    "The Muppets" early script draft

    I've read much of the script, haven't read the whole thing but have skimmed through it, and there are a lot of great things in this. Pepe gets more lines, Rizzo gets a line, I like many of the triple-cut-aways and flashbacks. I kinda prefer the way this script got the Muppets back together, as a...

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

    I've read a few places recently that comedy is harder to pull off than drama, because apparently a bad drama is more tolerable than a bad comedy. But if that's the case then why do so few comedies get Oscar nominations each year? I've especially read about this at TV Tropes. The "Tom Hanks...
