Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
I find it interesting how this set, in contrast to the previous two volumes, seems to focus more on the episode plots (well, these episodes have more plot focus and actual plot stories, while the previous volumes episodes barely had any plots) and less on the celebrity appearances. The packaging...
I'm not sure if I've ever heard "I'm Gonna Build the Biggest House You Ever Seen", though I feel like I might have heard it on The MuppetCast.
It is interesting how in "I Am Proud of Me" Grover builds a castle made of blocks, and he never messes it up or knocks it down accidently.
I was...
It's on Old School Volume 3. It's one of the season 12 classic cuts.
Yes, they do.
No. Unless you count Poco Loco, who was originated by Jerry but by season 12 had been taken over by Michael Earl.
Brian Muehl's Barkley and Michael Earl's Poco Loco are in it.
Top ten best TV show theme songs (including shows that I've rarely if ever watched. Shows I rarely watched much will be denoted with a *):
10. "Too Close for Comfort"*
9. "Daniel Boone"*
8. "The Greatest American Hero"*
7. "The Monkees"
6. "Salute Your Shorts"
5. "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"

Time for another of my "vs" threads! Which song do you prefer, "The Hello Hello Hello Song" or "Big Hello 1-20"? Both songs are sung by Big Bird and the cast on Sesame Street, both are from season 12, and both are about saying hello. And both songs are very catchy as well.
I prefer the "Big...
In "The King's Nose", it seems like only Jim and Frank were allowed to operate their characters, while anybody (probably Richard) could handle Jerry's. In early scenes, when various characters are surrounding Mumford, we see Bert, Grover, Kermit, Guy Smiley, Herry, and Sherlock Hemlock. It's...
I wonder if Frank's characters really did start to get recast in 1997 like it says on Muppet Wiki (regarding Eric's characters). I first heard about the occasional recasts (which have become more frequent, in a way Frank's performances could be seen as occasional now) in 2001. Of course I first...
How does one determine when Frank stopped being a "regular performer" on the show? He began directing movies in the 1980s which had already limited his schedule (he points this out in 1989's An Evening with Jim Henson and Frank Oz), and the 1998 book Sesame Street Unpaved mentions that at the...
I doubt Twin Beaks was the last one. That's from season 22, and I'm pretty sure they continued making new Monsterpiece Theater segments during the late-1990s. Not sure if any debuted in 2000 or 2001. The last time a Monsterpiece Theater segment aired was in 2002, I think it was the "Guys and...
I found a segment that I've been wanting to see for quite awhile now, the one where Telly sells Kermit a head warmer. I now know what the headwarmer looks like!
Interestingly, according to the upload date this was posted last year, but I could have sworn I searched "kermit and telly" a...
I was hoping that one of these would appear on Old School Volume 3 (maybe one will be on volume 4, though it'd likely be one of the later ones which aren't as good).
I've seen four of the five known segments, and I prefer the earlier ones, which show backstage action (including a crew...
I don't think there was an official break-up episode. In fact, in the book Street Gang, it says that Northern Calloway was upset that they didn't have Maria marry Luis, but the producers or whoever thought it'd be risky to have an interracial marriage on the show, especially since they already...
I feel they could have had a real orange fat cat play Garfield. Considering Garfield never moves his lips when he talks in the cartoons (well, aside from a gag in the "Mistakes Will Happen" episode) they wouldn't have had to worry about making the mouth move. But then they had Garfield move his...
It's interesting how in episode 1836, each performer except Caroll Spinney only gets one character each. Martin Robinson gets Snuffy, Brian Meehl gets Telly, and Richard Hunt gets Forgetful Jones, and none of their other characters make appearances. Given the current financial situation if this...
I doubt the majority of segments that teach the concept of surprise are just labled "surprise". Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd like to think that the segment talked about her would be labled something like "Cast Surprise Song" or "Surprise (with cast)" or something like that.
The Muppet Wiki talk...
I don't think it's because it's not what Sesame Street is nowadays. After all, you could say that many of the episodes released on the Old School DVDs and iTunes "Sesame Street Classics" are not what Sesame Street is now and obviously those were released (I had wondered if the first two Old...
There's a few segments I've read about via fan memories but haven't seen any official sources that confirm them. If they exist, I want to see them (which would prove their existience, though I don't doubt they exist).
Ernie looks out his window and sees Mr. Snuffleupagus, but when he tells Bert...
