Really? They'd include a classic short before a new feature on VHS? I would have expected Another Froggy Evening to get that treatment, but not a classic-era short. The audio commentary for One Froggy Evening mentions how Michigan got his name. It's been a few years since I last listened to...

Watching the audition footage, I can't help but wonder if that's Kevin Clash as Elmo or someone else. I'm pretty sure the announcement for a new cast member came after Clash resigned, but if it's somebody else, the new performer sounds very identical.

Part of me wonders why Michigan J. Frog was given a name years after his first short. Couldn't he just simply be called The Singing Frog? I guess the name is good for merchandising purposes, but was there any Michigan J. Frog merchandise before he became the WB mascot? I'm pretty sure his name...

I don't like that they call it the "dead" puppet society. Just because they're not being used anymore doesn't mean they're dead, and some so-called "dead" characters eventually do return, usually with a cameo or background appearance, but some characters (Gladys, Hoots, Grundgetta, maybe Prairie...

In the A&E Biography, Caroll Spinney mentioned Mr. Hooper's death episode being a rare occasion where the whole adult cast was featured (well, Linda wasn't, and neither were Mr. MacIntosh or Willy). But it seems like in the real early days it was more common for the whole cast to appear...

I remember one time I found a copy of that video at a flea market, and saw that it had the activity book. I didn't buy it because I already had the video.

It was great to see all these scans (and I hadn't realized some more were posted). Seeing the listing of videos on the inside cover of the booklets is interesting. They're not numbered, but the first six is almost in the same order when compared to the number in the proof of purchase box (with...

It says this is one of the few books to show the humans in illustrated form, but I've seen quite a few books that have illustrated the humans. Ernie's Neighborhood, Ernie's Little Lie, Susan and Gordon Adopt a Baby, I'll Miss You, Mr. Hooper, The Sesame Street Word Book, Big Bird Brings Spring...

Children's Songs and Stories is on YouTube: So is Country Music with the Muppets:

I don't think something would be cut because it mentioned a TV show. Besides, M*A*S*H was also mentioned in the cold opening, and that wasn't cut. And I'm pretty sure Nick at Nite didn't air the show at the time (I don't think Nick at Nite ever aired M*A*S*H, though TV Land airs it now). The...

It seems Nickelodeon didn't edit violent gags as often as other channels (and I think Cartoon Network was just as lenient about the violence), though there were some violent gags that were cut on the channel. Nickelodeon edited Muppet Show episodes because of the UK spots. Most of the UK...

Lately I've wondered what it'd be like if there was a collection similar to the structure of the Looney Tunes Platinum Collections. I don't own any of those, but the discs structure seems to be: One disc of main characters, another disc of various one-shots and complete shorts of characters with...

The first volume hasn't been released yet, but volume 2 has already been announced!

I don't really want to talk about this too much, but I wonder why an actor leaving his ex would be considered a "scandal". Also, I think one of the reports had the ex saying that Roscoe lives a "double life". I think all actors live "double lives", the life of their characters and the life away...

Maybe it's both. Like, maybe they didn't plan on a race, but then when an Indian actress auditioned they chose to hire her.

Last night, I dreamt that my parents just happened to have a pre-final edit VHS copy of The Muppet Movie. Most of the editing was there, but a lot of the finished editing was not. And they arranged to have it screened at a local theater, which had a large audience (and they somehow got a VHS...

No, Louise is the chicken who assists Rowlf in the video, though Rufus appears at the end to request Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Both Muppet Moments and Meet the Muppets edit the ending of "I Go to Rio", where Kermit comes on-stage to see what Statler and Waldorf (and the audience) thought of...

Children's Songs and Stories and Country Music are currently on YouTube. Those and The Muppet Revue are currently the only ones on YouTube (The Kermit and Piggy Story and Muppet Weird Stuff have both been on YouTube in the past). In Country Music, Richard Hunt plays that "I've got a...

Having seen quite a few of the inside covers lately, I've noticed that they usually have rows of two guest star images. I'd like to see the inside cover for one that has an odd number of guest stars. I also wonder if the images are taken from the show or if they are different head shot images of...

I wonder if Laurie from That '70s Show would fit under the trope "Karma Houdini". While there are some rare instances where she gets punished or what she deserves (like when Red got mad when he found out she was living with a man, getting grounded when Eric and Hyde got grounded for drugs...
