Regarding M*A*S*H, I keep forgetting that the show took place at a time then television was starting to become popular (I wonder how aware the army's staff was of the invention, as they'd been busy with war). I remember being surprised when I first heard there was an episode where the characters...

I just saw the opening to the M*A*S*H pilot, which is longer than the usual opening, and at the beginning there's text that reads "Korea 1950 - a hundred years ago". But the show began in the early 1970s, about 22 years after 1950. What's the deal with the obviously incorrect time frame given...

Anybody remember a promo that would air constantly in 1996, regarding a girl named Nat or Natalie whose family was moving, and she was upset because her friends weren't moving with her, so she started some kind of website to make friends? I don't remember the full web address (I wonder if it...

The top ten episodes of The Big Bang Theory: 10. The Creepy Candy Coating Collary 9. The Panty Pinata Polorization 8. The Griffin Equiviliency 7. The Justice League Recombination 6. The Transporter Malfunction 5. The Toast Derivation 4. The Fish Gut Displacement 3. The Engagement Reaction 2. The...

I find it interesting that the Jim Henson Pictures logo stays in the films after Disney's purchase, when Jim Henson Pictures wasn't formed in 1979 or 1981. Makes me hope that if Muppet Babies (or any Disney-owned production with an animated Jim Henson Productions logo sequence) ever gets a DVD...

I know. There have been quite a few times in the past when I've asked certain questions on forums and others pointed out that I could have easily looked them up online. And there probably will be more times I ask something on a forum without thinking to look them up. On a similar topic...

I was thinking that teenager movies (The Breakfast Club, Ferris Beuller's Day Off, etc.) were the trend of the '80s, while Home Alone knock-offs (Three Ninja's, Blank Check, Baby's Day Out, etc.) were the trend of the '90s.

After doing some google searches, I found the back cover for The Kermit and Piggy Story! The images are: A generic photo of Kermit and Piggy dressed up, Kermit and Scooter from Ukelelee Lady (and I think Piggy's in the image, can't tell due to the size), and Piggy and a pig from Cuanto Le...

Looking at the "lesser star" page, which also includes certain programs or propeties (such as referring to Duck Hunt as well as World Track Class Meet as lesser to Super Mario Bros. as NES pack-ins and also the Idioms part of TV Tropes and Idioms), I'm surprised it doesn't refer to the...

I had no idea that they stopped making anthology shows, though I guess I shouldn't be surprised (I was surprised back in 1998 when I heard that there were hardly any variety shows anymore). I guess that's also why they no longer make television specials unless it's for a special event like...

The red book has had two entries in a row regarding Raquel Welch, one regarding her appearance on Saturday Night Live (though it's more about Jim's experience writing the segment) and the other regarding her Muppet Show appearance. And you know, I had a feeling info on that SNL appearance...

I've read it mentioned on Muppet Wiki, and I haven't seen it mentioned here, so I should point out that although the Elmo the Musical DVD comes out in a few weeks, it's already available at Wal-Mart. Looking at the contents on Muppet Wiki, I'm surprised the episodes aren't in order. At least...

He's a singer. I checked wikipedia to see what songs he's known for, and I don't really know any of them. Here's more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Nelson

I'm thinking somebody has got to get out an anthology series spoofing reality TV. Like each week, a new reality show based on a different stupid concept. Something too stupid or complicated to work as a weekly reality show.

I'd been reading that part of "one-hour work week" lately. Did you actually write it? Good job. Recently I read one page at TV Tropes, about typecast actors, can't remember which one (I think it was called "Never Gonna Let it Down"). Anyway, it mentions that Jerry Seinfield will never be able...

There's one episode of Newhart, "Ricky Nelson Up Your Nose", where it's revealed that Kirk made a deal with the state where once a month his cafe is supposed to serve lunch to prisoners who are about to be transferred to maximum security prisons. What I'm wondering is, do prisons actually do...

Looking at the page for One-Hour Work Week, which deals with works where the main characters seem to get plenty of free time and still paid well, I wonder if the Stratford Inn and Minuteman Cafe from Newhart would count as examples (I didn't see them listed there). Both places have small staffs...

For awhile I've thought that there should be a Sesame Street DVD themed around art. And interesting how this one has an episode from season 32. I was looking at the guide to see if it had anything from 1969-1990, but it looks like it doesn't (but maybe some of the non-Muppet inserts with eka's...

Previously every episode of The Jim Henson Hour had been posted (though the uploader had to take down Song of the Cloud Forest and Dog City), but now it seems they are no longer online. The user who uploaded them still has his account, so I wonder what's going on. InnerTube and the pitch tape...

It's weird that they're doing this. Of course I actually wasn't too excited about this (I probably would have picked it up if I found a copy, but wouldn't have set out to find a copy on the day it came out). But at least we'll be getting some kind of Muppet release close to the movie's release...
