    TV Tropes

    Of course it seems like in movies, the silent characters usually end up getting to talk at some point, at least if they are main characters. Heck, some of the most quiet Muppets (Lips, Bruno) have had some of their few speaking appearances in movies (considering how minor they are the dialogue...

    Full House

    Watched a few reruns lately where the full opening theme is included. Weird... I wonder if the episodes are just shorter than usual or what. I've seen the full openings on "Happy Birthday Babies" part 1 and the episode where Joey teaches Michelle to ride a bike (which is on right now), and I saw...

    TV Tropes

    I don't think TV Tropes has any tropes for when "silent" characters talk. It could be a good trope... Perhaps call it "The Silent One Speaks" or "The Tom and Jerry" (referring to how they talk in Tom and Jerry: The Movie). Perhaps if there could be a seperate page where a non-speaking character...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    Are The Kermit and Piggy Story, Children's Songs and Stories, and Country Music the only ones to not use the usual theme music at the beginning and end? I know Rock Music begins with an instrumental version of Tenderly, and I'm pretty sure the usual theme appears at the end though I can't...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I assume you're referring to It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, but has Universal been including NBC celebrities and references in it's other recent movies? And what movie are you referring to regarding ABC removing the NBC logo from a Jumbotron? At first I thought you were referring...

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

    What's the deal with productions/fiction where somebody tries to keep a secret from someone,and in the end the person they were trying to keep the secret from finds out anyway, either because the secret keeper can't stop them from finding out, or the one keeping the secret decides to confess, or...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    I was referring to whether the back covers have images from the linking footage, not the clips. I know that, of the back covers I've seen, most of them have images from the clips (though I'm sure they're not really clips but pictures taken during shooting of the segments). Interestingly, the...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Just last week I had the classic Toys R Us jingle in my head. Of course I watched several classic '8-s Toys R Us commercials on YouTube. I've also had several Hall and Oates songs in my head, including Out of Sight, Private Eyes, and Uh-oh Here She Comes.

    RIP Annette Funicello

    I also thought she was already dead. I know that when The Mickey Mouse Club had ended she was given a movie contract with Disney, and in fact was the only Mousekateer to get such a contract. But are any of her Disney films very well-known with audiences? She's remembered for the MMC and...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    I've done google searches for all of the videos, and found the inside covers of a few more videos. The inside cover for Rock Music with the Muppets says that Dr. Teeth has his name because he's never had a cavity, while the inside cover for The Kermit and Piggy Story says that Miss Piggy's first...

    Segments with more than one teaching subject

    Various segments that teach multiple letters and/or numbers counts. For instance: Ernie holding the letter P, while Lefty holds an R. Ernie trying to tell a story about the number 12, which changes into a 21, so Ernie tries to tell a story about 21, but it changes back. Herbert Birdsfoot...

    Muppet Central Wiki

    At first, I thought this was a weird concept, but now I'm contemplating editing.

    The Cleveland Show likely to be cancelled

    If this show does end, I wonder if Cleveland will return to Family Guy (I'm sure his family would come to the show with him, but I don't think the rest of the shows cast should). It would be awkward if The Cleveland Show ended, Cleveland returned, and then Fox decided to bring it back.

    The Cleveland Show likely to be cancelled

    When I first heard that Cleveland was going to get his own spin-off, I thought it was an odd choice. Of course I couldn't see Joe or Quaigmire hold their own spin-offs, either, but as Dr.Tooth said, Cleveland didn't have much personality or even gimmicks on Family Guy. But then he was given more...

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

    Anybody ever notice how whenever an actor known for comedy does a drama, the movie has the kind of plot that would work very well for comedy? I wonder if this might be to trick the audience into thinking it's a comedy (even though they make a big deal out of comedians doing drama). I'll use...

    TV Tropes

    I've noticed a number of things listed in different tropes that I feel are wrong, maybe it's just a very bad opinion, not sure, but would like to point them out: On the Leslie Nielsen Syndrome page, which refers to actors who were known for drama but later switched to comedy, it lists Jim Carrey...

    My Sesame Street Home Video

    The Best of Kermit on Sesame Street was not released as part of My Sesame Street Home Video. Count it Higher was released as part of the My Sesame Street Home Video collection, not Sesame Songs.

    The Cleveland Show likely to be cancelled

    Considering all of the characters were jerks, I should have liked it better. And yet it was hard to get into. I remember when I first heard of the show, when the characters were hosting the sunday night line-up, I wondered if Allen was a kid with an adults voice (like Stewie Griffin) or a really...

    Your Least Favorite Things

    My least-favorite Peanuts specials are What a Nightmare, Charlie Brown, SOmeday You'll Find Her, Charlie Brown, It's Flashbeagle Charlie Brown, What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown?, and Life is a Circus, Charlie Brown. I'd like to say that I also dislike most of the specials from the '90s and...

    Why wasn't there a longer video deal in the 1980s?

    Thinking more about it, I wonder why whenever The Jim Henson Company has a video distribution deal, it only lasts a short time. Buena Vista Home Video had Jim Henson Video from 1993-1996 (actually I think that deal ended in 1997, but there weren't any Jim Henson Video releases that year), then...
