    Who owns the rights to what?

    After looking at scans from the documents so many times, I'd like to see the documents regarding Disney's purchase of Marvel, Lucasfilm, and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Sesame Workshop's purchase of the Sesame Street characters, and The Jim Henson Company's video deals regarding Jim Henson Video...

    Sweetums: Space Hero(?)

    Chapter 8 Sweetums was powered-up and in costume, headed towards the meteor. "I sure hope he's powerful enough", said Robin. "He is", said the head of the head people, "I just hope he doesn't miss." "According to our computer screen", said another head, "he is going in the right...

    Sweetums: Space Hero(?)

    Chapter 7 "But I swear, Kermit, it did happen!", said Sweetums. "I'm convinced you have your memory back", said Kermit, "but I doubt you were actually a space hero. Maybe you're remembering a dream or something." "Besides, you can't be a space hero", said Link Hogthrob, "I am a space...

    Sweetums: Space Hero(?)

    Chapter 6 Kermit took Sweetums to the Muppet Theater. They were watching the show opening. "See what you're doing there,Sweetums?", asked Kermit, "that's what you do in the opening." "Oh, I can do that!", said Sweetums. Sweetums ran to the archs on stage and tried... But he got...

    Sweetums: Space Hero(?)

    Chapter 5 Sweetums was walking around town, wondering who he was. He came across a number of strangers. "Hey, do you know who I am?", asked Sweetums. "Not only do I not know who you are, I also don't CARE about who you are." Sweetums went to the next person. "Hey, do you know who I...

    Sweetums: Space Hero(?)

    Chapter 4 Sweetums made it to the rural town. "Now for me to find out who did it", said Sweetums. He came across an old lady. "Excuse me, is your name Alex?" "Up yours!", said the old lady. The head of the head people then contacted Sweetums. "We learned the guys...

    Sweetums: Space Hero(?)

    Chapter 3 Sweetums flew out of the space ship and headed for the missiles. The heads were watching on their computer monitor. "He's going the wrong way", said one of the heads. "What do we do?", said another. "Don't forget", said the head of the heads, "we've got an intercom...

    Sweetums: Space Hero(?)

    Chapter 2 Sweetums made it into the space ship. "Where am I?", wondered Sweetums. A big chair turned around, revealing a disembodied head with big black shoes. "You are on a spaceship", said the head, "I am the Head of this ship!" Then more head people showed up. "We're...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I can wait until October. I hope they don't overdo it with the trailers this time, but if there is a big movie coming out, it'd be great if the Muppets did a teaser trailer spoofing that movie, followed by the trailer for that movie. It'd be especially great if there is such a big movie and...

    Sweetums: Space Hero(?)

    Enjoy this new fan fic. Chapter 1 Sweetums was rehearsing for the show. "Okay, I'm ready!", said Sweetums, "two, three, four..." Sweetums began dancing as the orchestra played, but he quickly stepped on a rake, which plopped up and hit him in the face. "Oh! There's my rake!"...

    Segments that were possibly taped on the same day

    I've often wondered if the first three "Bert and Ernie at the movies" segments were shot on the same day. The "loud and soft" and "lady with tall hat" segments both have many of the same extra background characters, though in different seats, while the "emotions" one has mostly different...

    Do de Rubber duck

    I'd really like to see behind-the-scenes images or photos. Or perhaps the cast reminiscing about the making of this segment. If anybody here gets to interview any of the known performers from this, please be sure to ask about it. The only surviving performers I know of are Kevin Clash (who's no...

    What year did it all change for the worst?

    Somebody already corrected you about those segments premiering in season 33, but actually Frank's characters started to appear more in seasons 32 and 33. It was around this time that they were beginning to be performed by other people (though Muppet Wiki claims Eric Jacobson had began as Grover...

    What TV Show has the most Spin offs?

    I had no idea of that. I wonder if it still exists in the Paramount vaults (or anywhere).

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

    In Back to the Future, after Marty manages to scare George into asking Loraine to the dance, George tells him that Darth Vader threatened to melt his brain if he didn't. But in that scene, there is no mention of melting his brain. In the finished film, we only see the start of the encounter, so...

    "The Looney Tunes Show" premieres May 3, 2011

    Now that I think about it, I can't remember anything about either characters personality on the show. I can't even remember any Lola episodes. But I do remember one episode I liked where Petunia was basically the main character, where she only wants to watch TV, and then the TV breaks, so the...

    "The Looney Tunes Show" premieres May 3, 2011

    I never really liked Lola, regardless of her Space Jam "personality" or her Looney Tunes Show incarnation. In fact it's ironic: In Space Jam Bugs liked her but Lola didn't feel the same way about him at first, and on The Looney Tunes Show it's the other way around. Not only was she a token...

    What TV Show has the most Spin offs?

    Yes. The pilot was titled "Love and the Happy Days" and featured Richie, Potsy, Howard, Marion, Joanie, and Chuck. Howard, Joanie, and Chuck were all played by different actors than they would be on the show. I've read that the pilot was originally to be titled New Family in Town, before it...

    Will there ever be Classics Vol. 3 on iTunes?

    I didn't think there'd be a third Old School after all these years, so you never know.

    Imagination Illustrated: The Jim Henson Journals book

    It's interesting how one of the first pages has an image of Sam on the Footlight Theater set, but it appears to be a picture taken of the TV while Footlight Theater was showing (or maybe a picture of a TV monitor from rehearsals). The section on The Jim Henson Hour seems to barely have any...
