Well, look at it this way as well, if the franchise doesn't make Disney enough money in the long term, they may sell them off again--not likely in the short term, but more impossible things have happened. I'm still giving them another 5 years to make something, anything, work well before I...

I like ForCryingOutLoud the best as well.

-the Jackson 5 (in retrospect our heroes could have just heaped on the ridicule like there was no tomorrow as well as singing some great tunes) -Gene Wilder; a wicked Wonka parody would have been right up their alley -Chevy Chase; him on the backstage stairs tumbling head over heels down...

Has it ever been described at length in any canonical works exactly how the Electric Mayhem first came together as a group, since they're always fully former whenever we meet them in the movies and on TV?

By age two in 1984 I had Muppets 6 out of 7 days of the week. My local PBS affiliate (WVIA-38 Scranton) aired SS at 12 and 4 weekdays (they used the 70s PBS logo for about 2 years after the rest of the network retired it). I'd usually watch both times, although I'd usually switch away before...

Few celebrity deaths affected me the way Jim's did (really, only John Candy's came close). I didn't really want to be believe it when I'd been hearing it on the news. It was only when I saw the Acme checkout shelves with the People magazine with the depressed Kermit leaning against the empty...

Is it just me, or did they always seem to like filming short films of children walking around/going to school with at least one shot of the character(s) against a zoo cage-style metal fence?

Definitely Thog. And Scooter now that's he's not as frequent as he was then.

Absolutely. In fact, it was the Baker sketch I remember the most. Rowlf was in the third nine piece, surrounded by 9 nights.

If it were me, I would include: -one or two Guy Smiley sketches -a Charlie's restaurant Grover piece -one of the early Snuffleupagus pieces -the Superball (either version) -3 classic Bert/Ernie sketches -as many of Bud Luckey's counting sequences as available -2 Cookies -a Super...

At least I think it was Smiley; if not it was a character based on his puppet. At any rate, I remember him crooning in various seasonal setting about how he "loves you in springtime/summer/etc." (he looked, well, unusual in the bathing suit they had him wear at the beach for the summer...

One thing I would have to wonder about is how many songs that might go on something like this they in fact own and which ones they'd have to clear with outside sources. Certainly the last thing any of us want to see is sketches we love edited for this reason.

How about Hoots the Owl? I think he got a quiet phase out.

Looking over the Season 1 set, it seems that whenever Gonzo launches into one his acts, there's one audience member who leads the booing more than the others each time. Who from the usual audience shots do you suppose it is? (I think we can rule out Sam in the back, as it sounds nothing like...

His last Sesame Street live show was "The Sleeping Birdie," although I'm not sure exactly when his Ernie vocals for it were taped.

How about the Typewriter guy? And I'm guessing Guy Smiley was pulled as a speaking character within a year of Henson's death, am I right?

One I always enjoyed was where Ernie (moving back and forth really fast) gathers up all sorts of items for his latest bath, including a flashlight and umbrella, "just in case" and sure enough before long the light go out and it starts raining inside (apparently Ernie's exempt from the bad luck...

I read on another post that 1990-91 was the last year viewers saw the Jazzy Spies segments. Would anyone happen to know with relative certainty the last years saw the some of the following: -the Bakers -the Pinball counts -the Number 3 Superball (both versions) -the Yip-Yip Aliens -the...

For years I've been wondering what made Kermit jiggle around and go "WHOOOOO!!!" in surprise when Herry made the X-ray machine show his skeleton. Surely he shouldn't be feeling anything, I reason, especially since hte machine showed no ill effects on Herry. Can anyone take a gander?

What year was the reggae "Do the Rubber Duck?" in which he did both Kermit and Ernie shot?
