Here is a fictional Muppet Show compilation. I have written a few fan fics in the past, most of which were done in my first two years on the forum, and I don't really feel like checking to make sure I don't repeat any segments in my past compilation fan fics. But enjoy! (The theme music plays...

I remember back in 2007 somebody posted that The Muppet Show: Season Two would NOT be released (or at least not in 2007), and then it ended up coming out that year.

I think I did that. There's been a few other April fools threads I came up with that ended up becoming true in some way. The first April fools joke I did on the forum was regarding a collection of Sesame Street DVDs aimed at us. In 2005 somebody had contacted Sesame Workshop and was told that...

Before I state any opinions on the subject, I must address a few things first... I thought that the mods had been doing that as soon as they knew it, as opposed to when somebody admitted to being fooled. In the time that they've done it, I hadn't seen any posts from people who said they were...

I kinda thought about including Lefty instead, but then thought Lefty wouldn't be so mean. I wonder if he would have sold grouch supplies (that weren't exactly appealing to a grouch).

Grover doesn't scam Mr. Johnson. At least not intentionally. He tries to get Mr. Johnson what he wants but keeps messing up (or is it his boss messing up and Grover gets blamed?).

One thing I've read a number of times recently is that on the show Soap, it was originally planned for Chuck and Bob (okay, probably just Chuck) to be the one who killed Peter Campbell, only for the killer to be changed because the fans liked them too much. I believe this, though I've never seen...

Speaking of the Vanstock episode of That '70s Show, I noticed that in that episode Jackie and Laurie become friends after realizing they have so much in common, to the point where they decide to have a sleepover instead of either sleeping with Kelso. But while their new found friendship didn't...

One thing I've always wondered about the That '70s Show opening from seasons 2-3: Why is Laurie driving Eric's car with the rest of the gang hanging out as well???? I know that it's really there for a funny gag (Kelso sitting between Jackie and Laurie up front, looking nervous because he...

Those are the ones I remember as well. There's also a different version of the green background one where the Sesame Street characters don't appear, with a cat in place of Ernie and Bert. I wonder if that one came before or after Golden Books started publishing Sesame Street books.

There's been a number of times (the book Sesame Street Unpaved, the A&E Biography, and Caroll Spinney's biography) that state that Caroll Spinney felt that he had "made it" when he looked at the back cover of a Golden Book which showed Big Bird and Oscar alongside various cartoon characters he...

Here's footage of Jim Henson performing Scred as he was training people for The Dark Crystal.

I saw the CNN People Profiles on YouTube recently (for the first time since its original broadcast in 1999, for some reason I was unable to record it), and it feels very rushed. At the beginning it talks quite a bit about his childhood before getting to clips and coverage of his work, the...

I've been looking at the Muppet Wiki page on the shows anniversaries, and it seems every anniversary since the 25th has had a lot of merchandise and publicity and such. In fact the 25th and 35th anniversaries both had two specials each (and one of the two 25th anniversary specials had two...

I don't doubt there'll be a lot of hype for the 50th anniversary, but I wonder if the 45th anniversary will have a huge celebration. Ever since the 20th season they've been having big celebrations every five years, so hopefully we shouldn't be doubtful. Of course they did skip the 5th and 15th...

On a similar note about fictional live-action characters whose appearance isn't significantly altered for the character, I'm sure that the actors usually get some kind of payment for the use of their image in merchandise, but I've read that Jim Carrey gets a percent of sales from all Grinch...

One thing I wonder about character copyrights: Do live-action "non-fantasy" characters get copyrighted or not? I'm talking about characters whose actors don't wear elaborate make-up or costumes or anything. Often cartoons, puppets, costume and similar fantasy characters will have trademarks...
