    Little things we've noticed

    In a Tough Pigs interview Jerry Nelson said that Frank Oz did Robin's puppetry in that special.

    "A Special Sesame Street Christmas" coming to DVD and CD November 6

    Actually it was somebody from CTW who thought that. I don't think Sesame Workshop owns this special, which would be why it's not being released by Warner Home Video (Sesame Workshop also lacks the distribution rights to Elmo in Grouchland, 20 and Still Counting, and Being Elmo, all of which...

    "A Special Sesame Street Christmas" coming to DVD and CD November 6

    We already did. The original VHS cover had images of all the celebrity cameos.

    The Darkwing Duck Thread

    I remember reading a long time ago that there was an episode where Drake Mallard wore a Darkwing Duck costume at a costume party, and the other party guests didn't think he was a very convincing Darkwing. Anybody know which episode this was?

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Where did you fidn the poser photos? I've done a number of google searches for this and haven't found anything on this release (the Muppet Wiki page doesn't even show up on the first search page)? I've typed in "sesame street making friends", "sesame street preschool is cool making friends dvd"...

    Oscar's Trashman Bruno

    I always figured that there was a hole in the stomach of Bruno, but then I've been thinking, in the few times we've seen Bruno not carrying a trash can, he's wearing a red shirt, clearly without a hole, and they don't button up his jacket to hide any opening, and I've come to notice that even...

    Old School DVD set ideas

    This week I've been thinking of a great idea I'd call "Sesame Street Hall of Fame", two discs of many of the best segments that haven't been released on DVD (and there's still quite a few I didn't list below), plus some additionals I like or want to see. Mostly from seasons 1-24, though I'd...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    In October there's going to be a new "Preschool is Cool" DVD, "Making Friends". I wonder if this is the same as "The Best of Sesame Friends" DVD that was announced. No contents have been announced, but considering the title and description, hardly any of the nominated clips have anything to do...

    Oscar's Trashman Bruno

    It's been said that they wouldn't rebuild Bruno because the cost would be too high, but I wonder if he ever has been rebuilt. I've noticed in a number of appearances from the early 1980s (the season 12 "bring your own can night" clip, episode 1899, Follow That Bird, footage Copper Pot Pictures...

    Frank Oz: "New Muppets Too Cute"

    One part of the interview I don't really understand: It sounds like Frank Oz is vaguely mentioning an upcoming project he's been working on, but then says he doesn't want to talk about it because he doesn't want to sound like somebody talking about his work. But it's hard to hear the question...

    Has Frank Oz's opinion on the new movie changed?

    I wonder if any of the people who matter at Disney have even read these interviews with Frank where he's talked about the movie. But now I wonder if studios ever banned any celebrities or creative talents who talked badly about past films they made that the individuals didn't like or didn't like...

    A Much Deeper Level

    While browsing through the blog today, I was surprised to see that it's been around since january. I assumed it began a month ago (and until today I didn't notice that the side of the website showed pre-june months).

    Frank Oz: "New Muppets Too Cute"

    It would be interesting to compare some of the recent Grover/Mr. Johnson bits with Frank and some of the ones that Eric did. Seems Frank usually performs Grover in those, but I'm pretty sure Eric performed Grover in the Rhyme Day sketch and the two from season 41 (Letter G Games and V Salesman).

    Speculation: CW interested in Muppets?

    If The CW wants to get more Muppet content out for the holiday season then that's great (though I wonder if they tried getting the rights to broadcast non-holiday stuff so they can show some Muppets before Christmas). I say they should rerun Letters to Santa, A Muppet Family Christmas, and The...

    Has Frank Oz's opinion on the new movie changed?

    Regarding him not doing voices for fans, he's often said that the characters are too precious to him for him to just do the voices when fans ask, feeling it cheapens the characters a bit. Though I remember seeing one interview (I think it came out around the time of Star Wars Episode III, or...

    Frank Oz: "New Muppets Too Cute"

    Interestingly, he said that he would only work for the Muppets again if Disney were to ask him. I wonder how likely Disney will be to ask him in the near future.

    The Darkwing Duck Thread

    Well just a few nights ago I finished watching all the episodes on volume 2, and would like to provide thoughts on some episodes (not all of them): Ghoul of my Dreams - I've read that this is the episode where Morgana officially gives up being a villian. While it seems so, it's disapointing that...

    Frank Oz: "New Muppets Too Cute"

    I'm glad that he's at least given a more speciffic answer, given that interview a few months ago when he said he didn't want to talk about what he thought was wrong. Though this answer is a bit satysfying. After reading this I wonder if he'd been thinking of this longer, since there's been more...

    Vote Muppets for ABC's "Best in TV" Barbara Walters Special

    I also wonder: What's so great about Obama's inauguation that deems it worthy of nominating for best TV moments? I never saw it, and don't remember seeing any previous presidential inauguation (well, I did see that special The Disney Channel did for Bill Clinton in 1993, but I don't know if that...

    A Much Deeper Level

    I've been enjoying these, especially the more recent articles on Tinkerdee/Cinderella/Frog Prince/Bremen. My only big complaint here is that the background image makes it a little hard to make out certain text at times.
