There's something I just noticed today regarding the segments chosen to replace segments that couldn't be cleared, and I'm surprised I hadn't noticed this sooner. On the previous sets, all of the replacement segments were rare to us. I don't think the original "A Little Bit at the Beginning" is...

Maybe it's lighting? Back in 2008, I recall reading a Tough Pigs article regarding the filming of Letters to Santa (the writer of the article happened to be at one of the specials filming locations, and was invited to visit the set another day after they learned he was from Tough Pigs), and I...

He talked about it in the Muppet Central interview. It's been a long time since I last read it (maybe I should have read before replying :)), but at the time he had moved somewhere and wanted to be at his new home as much as possible, as opposed to spending a great deal of time away to write for...

I've never heard of either of those segments, but I'd like to see them. Especially the one with Biff and Forgetful Jones. Sounds interesting.

I would have thought the next Sesame DVD would be an Elmo the Musical DVD. Surprising that we're getting another Elmo's World DVD (could this be to please all those whiney parents who complained about the segment's departure from the show?).

Another segment that is sort of a holy grail in english is part 3 of the three-part "Bert and Ernie: Banana in Ear" sketch. I don't know of any episodes with part 3, that's the only part that's not on sesamestreet.org, and it seems many fans only remember parts 1 and 2... But part 3 has shown up...

I've been looking at the website constantly for the last few months, and it is a great site. I've considered joining, but still haven't. Some of my favorite tropes: Serious Business, Periphery hatedom, the freelance shame squad, karma houdini, the reason you suck!, and adults are useless...

I was hoping a release would have come out then. I also wishfully thought it should contain all the Ed Sullivan appearances not on the Muppets Magic DVD as a bonus feature (most of the segments not included were due to music rights, but rights were cleared for one segment to appear on a...

Actually he was credited for most of season three. In interviews he said that his first epsiode was the Alice Cooper episode, though he was credited in the first episode of the season (and I'm pretty sure that was the first episode of the season in recording order, so I'm not sure what happened...

One thing I noticed is that on this set "Doll House" is the only #2 segment included that was perhaps overly-included in the past sets. None of the 2-sponsored episodes feature Henson #2 or Jazz #2 (it's a shame the #8 editions of those aren't in the episode sponsored by 8, though I know that...

I would have thought that the reason for having different voice actors as the Muppet Babies was so the main performers could concentrate more on Fraggle Rock, Sesame Street, and the various Muppet specials and appearances (in addition to allowing Jim to work on scores of other projects at once...

Should we petition for the rights holders to release this one?:) Of course that one isn't exactly full of celebrity appearances (just Art Carney... and Ed Sullivan if he counts). The comment about Muppet specials owned by third parties that center on celebrity appearances seems more fitting...

Well, I just finished watching the special, and I didn't think it was too bad. Of course I knew what to expect (and I was online while watching as well). I found it funny when Ethel Merman enters greeting people with Merry Christmas and the others don't respond. Almost as if they have the...

I missed all the commercials, and I can see how I could miss him hosting event/awards shows, as I don't watch those often (and I certaintly watch all of those kinds of shows). I forgot about him being in the Smurfs movie. Of course I didn't see that movie, but it seems I keep forgetting about...

I found a copy at Wal-Mart today, so I'm watching this for the first time. It's decent so far, though obviously not the greatest. I didn't notice a bad smell at first, but as I walked around Wal-Mart carrying it, I kept smelling a number of strong smells. Not sure if it was certain sections...

I could have sworn I saw The Swedish Chef attempting to cook a turkey throughout the first few minutes of the video. I'd say more like that guy who was invited to a party but doesn't know anybody except the person who invited him, who knows the others.

When I first heard the song, I wasn't impressed (and I'll admit, I stopped listening before the song was even over), but figured, "the music video will probably be better". And I was right! This music video is so much better than the song. Almost as good as the OK GO Muppet Show Theme. If I...
