Lately when I've watched videos on the site, there seems to be something wrong with the player. It seems like the videos don't play as smoothly as they used to (though the audio plays fine). It looks like the video keeps freezing for skipping every few microseconds. Not sure if it's just my...

I had no idea of that regarding video games. But I still think it's strange they would make trailers for anything before they are finished. It's one thing for it to be publicly announced and then canceled, but I feel it's another for them to go through the trouble of making a trailer and then...

He probably could have gotten online and heard news of the film, or maybe read about it in an entertainment magazine or news article (though I don't know if his character was the kind who'd follow entertainment news), notice story similarities, see that it was to be directed by the movie...

Lately, I've been thinking about instances in the Playhouse video compilations where clips were significantly edited or even altered in some way. Especially after watching some on YouTube and noticing. There's four that I used to rent all the time, and then hadn't seen in many years. After...

Here's a few "what's the deal?" things that make sense in real life, but work better in the works of fiction they occurred in. *In "Big Fat Liar", there's a trailer for a ficticious movie of the same title... But it hadn't even started production yet. Even though the trailer in question...

Another commercial, which I only saw once (back in 1996-1997), involved an adult man having to go to the restroom very badly, likely at a gas station, but the mens room is already being used.... By a kid who's playing with a toy gun, and not even using the restroom as the adult impatiently waits...

I didn't know that Traveling Matt once hosted NBC saturday morning programming It's a shame this wasn't a bonus feature on the Animated Fraggle Rock DVDs (or does NBC own these clips?). They don't show clips from the shows being mentioned, so there wouldn't be copyright problems there.

I doubt those were regular episodes. The one with Kermit and Cookie Monster was a PBS promo. I was checking that Red Book source, and PBS pledges with Kermit, Cookie Monster, Miss Piggy, Grover, Ernie and Bert were recorded in 1979. Statler and Waldorf also appeared in a pledge promo in...

Today's article actually concerns something that happened AFTER the Red Book was finished: Info on Secrets of the Muppets - http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2013/04/19/4191989/ I wonder if the site will provide any info on other post-1988 projects Jim Henson did, like his last day on the...

Wow, I didn't even know that he performed on The Jim Henson Hour (and the Muppet Wiki page for him doesn't list the show in his filmography). You know, the early posts of this thread said that the rights to The Secrets of the Muppets were split by Henson and Disney, I assume Gelfling Waldo...

I've seen one of those threads that was posted recently, and I know I posted this one before that. The one I saw was about a specific commercial, this one I intended to be an all-purpose thread for any of us to ask about any commercials we remember but don't remember what they were advertising.

I just remembered a few more commercials that I don't remember the advertised product: *A commercial, I think for some pants company, with a group of men who sing something that sounds like "Ohh la-la shashoon". I could be wrong on the spelling of that last word. This commercial was often...

I get annoyed when people refer to 2011's "The Muppets" as "The Muppet Movie". Yes, it's a Muppet movie, but there's already a Muppet movie with that title and there are several Muppet movies.

Would it really mean no fruits and veggies? I thought those could be grown without bees. It'd more likely mean no more sugar.

Would it be unfair to say "every Justin Bieber song?" Of course the only ones I've heard are ones that play on the radio (and I generally only listen to modern music stations if I'm riding in a car with somebody else driving, as I prefer '80s music and oldies). Part of me wants to say "every...

Doglion is performed by Dave Goelz. The head of the head people is David Rudman (I had originally intended on him being performed by Steve Whitmire, until I decided to have him interact with Kermit), while the others can be anyone. I didn't really provide any specific names, roles, or...

A mistake I made that I just remembered: Long ago, when Henson.com added an FAQ section, some of the questions were worded very silly/over-dramatically, and I thought those questions really were asked that way.* There were questions worded like "I need to write a research paper on Jim Henson and...

This was on YouTube a few years ago, but it was taken down shortly after it went online (the Muppet Wiki page for PBS had it embedded but never made any stills for the website). I recall seeing an article on Henson's Red Book that said that there were a few pledge drive insertials with...

Chapter 10 Beauregard carried Sweetums to the hole in the ceiling to let him into the theater. "I don't like having to spend the rest of my life like this", said Sweetums. "Well, look on the right side", said Beauregard, "if I had a stick I could use you as a mop." Beauregard then...

Chapter 9 Sweetums brought the spaceship to the fuel station, and carefully landed it to the ground (though he caused a bit of damage to the bottom of the theater underneath). "That's not good", said Sweetums. The spaceship's side door opened, and various Muppets and head people came...
