    Questions about anything

    I was going to post this in the "What's the deal?" thread, but thinking it over, I really want to know the answer. I've noticed that at various sporting events, competitions, and such, especially when depicted in fiction (because I usually don't care to watch reality on television), winners...

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

    I can't remember which episode this happened in, but in one episode of Family Guy, Lois asks her dad for some kind of favor, and he says he'll do it on the condition that Peter star in a scene-by-scene remake to amuse him. I assume he makes this condition to humiliate Peter. but Liar Liar isn't...

    Is Kermit adventurous?

    I don't understand what's so adventurous about Kermit in this pic.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I was going to point out that sesamestreet.org is a little inconsistent (if that's the word I'm looking for) when it comes to including the original title cards or later ones. Many of the earliest Sesame Street News segments are shown with the original pink logo (Rupunzel is one of the few...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Actually, it seems like very few title cards were replaced with later ones on DVD. The main exception seems to be most of the Sesame Street News segments on DVD having the late-1980s card (and none of the ones that originally had that card have been released on video yet), and most of the...

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

    Tonight I was watching the Family Guy episode "Barely Legal", in which Meg becomes obsessed with Brian. Near the end, when Lois wishes she could talk some sense into Meg, Quaigmire informs her that he knows what to do, and in the next scene Meg comes to Quaigmire's house and says that Lois told...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I've wondered whether that special is owned by Sesame Workshop or an outside company (it was recorded at Lord Grade's ATV Studio). But just because another company owns it (and again, I don't know if that's the case) doesn't mean the company that released A Special Sesame Street Christmas...

    List of Changed Channels

    Speaking of changed channels, on sundays I change the channel to Fox for Animation Domination, and after Family Guy (and sometimes after American Dad) I change the channel to Cartoon Network for Adult Swim.... Oops, wrong kind of changed...

    List of Changed Channels

    One good thing to come out of it is that The Weird Al Show got made, even if it would have been better if educational messages weren't forced. Of course that show was only educational so it could be made... If CBS wasn't forced into educational programming, who knows if CBS would have purchased...

    Muppet Vinylmation series 3?

    Just a day ago I realized that the Sam the Eagle variant is Sam Arrow. It's a shame more Muppet Treasure Island variants aren't included to go along with it. It's just like the Palisades line, where Sam Arrow was released two series before another Muppet Treasure Island variant, and not many MTI...

    List of Changed Channels

    The ABC Family Channel has changed names and owners many times, though the original owner actually put clauses in the contract that certain changes can't occur regardless of owner, such as having to have "Family" in the title, having to dedicate 3 hours a day to The 700 Club, and having to have...

    List of Changed Channels

    Actually, even in the early years the channel had plenty of non-Disney programming to offer (like Fraggle Rock, various Sesame Street specials, many Muppet movies and specials before the 2004 sale, Growing Pains, almost every major animated Peanuts production, Abbot and Costello movies, even...

    Best Waiter Grover sketch?

    Yes and I was surprised to see that (along with certain other things about Richard's behavior), considering what I've heard about him on The MuppetCast and elsewhere (including the same book). I keep reading that he was generous to other performers (such as asking off on David Rudman's first day...

    Muppet Vinylmation series 3?

    Hopefully there'll be more mainstream Muppet merchandise (stuff sold everywhere, not just at the parks, Disney Store, and online) when the new movie comes out. I had the same hopes when the last one came out (but at least it was more than when MFS came out).

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

    That was my inspiration for the list of Barney's. I was looking through every page of this thread today to make sure I didn't already ask those "what's the deal with...?" questions about Adam Sandler movies (I couldn't remember if I have here, but I knew I had brought those up elsewhere).

    Muppet Vinylmation series 3?

    Although I don't expect to get these and the character was an action figure from Palisades, I must say that in a perfect world (one as perfect as Walt Disney World) the chase figure would be Lips. But then again, if they're all blind boxed anyway, what's the point of a mystery chase figure...

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

    It seems like back in the old days of television, most shows would have very few Christmas episodes (and the same can be said about other holidays to a lesser extent), it seems they generally had one Christmas episode for every 4-5 seasons, though there are exceptions (for example, all six...

    Best Waiter Grover sketch?

    According to Old School Volume 3 it debuted in season 14, while "Sesame Street, Special" (which was later retitled "Put Down the Duckie") was first broadcast in 1988. And I used to think that the guitar player was performed by Richard Hunt (I've known better for many years, though)...

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

    I've never heard of that movie Our Idiot Brother. So it's weird, I assumed Grown Ups was an ironic title, only to be a more appropriate title than I expected.

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

    A few "what's the deal?" observations about Adam Sandler movies (I know, some of you dislike Sandler....): Shouldn't the main characters in "Grown Ups" act more childish? I was under the impression that they'd be adults acting like children, but then I saw it, and they don't act childish...
