Ever since I was a kid renting some of these videos Rowlf's Rhapsodies was the one I most wanted to see, and it's currently one of only three I haven't seen. This is the first I heard about a bomb running gag. I've read that Miss Piggy made an appearance in linking footage. What is her scene...

Maybe they already checked out.

Now that I think about it, Sam the Eagle might be better as Charles Winchester. Both are quite cultural and don't get along with the others well. Sam could also make a good Frank Burns, if not for Frank's affairs with Hot Lips.

Bubba has appeared in a few productions since, and was even referred to by name in The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. Though he wasn't a main character in any of those.

I've wondered the same thing. I wonder if it would have been a lot better and funnier if all the extra characters were causing havoc at the restaurant as well. But maybe they would have had more fun crusing the streets of london at night time. That does sound like it would have been more fun.

As far as I know, the only time Sesame Workshop got in trouble for a parody was when the owners of the Beatles music sued because of Letter B. But then Michael Jackson bought the rights to the song and dropped the charges. But since it was a parody, I wonder if Sesame Workshop would have won the...

I guess that regardless of whether Edna Garret deserved a spin-off series or not, The Facts of Life is a great show, and I feel it is a lot better than Diff'rent Strokes. I haven't watched either show in a long time and don't recall seeing many early Diff'rent Strokes episodes with Edna, so I...

The two It's the Muppets videos (and The Very Best of the Muppet Show videos) avoided showing any guest star clips, and the clip in question briefly showed Leslie Uggam on camera, so it was likely altered to avoid showing her. It's also weird, in that episode, the backstage scene was followed by...

Recently a big book of files regarding the Disney/Henson deal was sold on ebay and the person who bought it posted many images from it on a blog. According to that blog the Playhouse releases are currently owned by Disney.

What exactly DID Mrs. Garrett from Diff'rent Strokes do to get her own spin-off? I saw The Facts of Life for about a year before Diff'rent Strokes, and in the episodes I saw her in she didn't seem to steal the show or be a break-out character. Of course I also feel like I haven't seen too many...

I found an image of the Muppet Moments inside cover. It says that Fozzie spent weeks waiting on Kermit's doorstep before he was granted an audition, and was a last-minute replacement for a chicken who flew the coop.

I've noticed that in the "That Generic Guy" page it lists Kirk and Leslie from Newhart. I can see Leslie getting that attribution, but I don't think Kirk was a "generic character". He was a liar and often came up with schemes and such. That same section mentions that most of the first season...

At first I thought you meant that she's the rarest character to appear in the comic. So I guess you mean she's the rarest to have a significant part. Aside from the characters you mentioned, do any other minor/obscure characters appear in the background?

A few things about The Mask: 1. What's wrong with Stanley Ipkiss's pajamas? The cop apparently thinks his pajamas are ridiculous, and even thinks "there can't be two idiots with pajamas like those". But it seems like an average pair of pajamas with some interesting designs. Maybe they were...

Well, Sesame Street could get the "Muppets are too kiddy" blame before 1976. I don't think Jim Henson did any "kiddy" productions before Sesame Street (and anything that could be considered "kiddy" wasn't broadcast, at least not until after Sesame Street began). Perhaps people might think of...

If I were to make an "essential collection of songs I love", here would be the track listing, in no particular order: "Rainy Days and Mondays" by The Carpenters "Manic Monday" by The Bangles "Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon "We Built This City" by Jefferson Starship "I Lost on...

Well, I'm pretty sure he didn't actually perform in it, though I'm sure he did have some behind-the-scenes role (probably executive producer). The Red Book once showed his drawings of ideas for "baby activities" for the video.

I also just found that Peek-A-Boo is available on iTunes. The years since The Jim Henson Company sold the Muppets to Disney have been interesting regarding video releases. When Hit! had the license they released a few productions Henson hadn't given much attention to and might not have at...

I wonder if these comics will just have Rocky and Bullwinkle stories, or if they'll be broken down into multiple segments like on the show. I think Bullwinkle would lend itself well to the four-issue storyarc format, maybe two Bullwinkle stories and issue and a supporting segment or two, maybe...

I just found that Peek-a-Boo is currently on YouTube again, but you have to pay to watch it. I wonder if it's on Netflix, iTunes, or anything else like that.
