    In Development: Henson's Fraggle Rock Movie

    Don't forget that highly-overrated new talking-animal movie released this year: "Ratatouille." I'm avoiding that one, mainly because I'm sick and tired of those computer-animated talking-animal films with their crude "Ren and Stimpy"-type humor and big-name celebrities.

    Abby Cadabby Balloon in Macy's Thanksgiving parade

    The Harmonica closing theme was used during the shot with the Abby Cadabby balloon. But when they were talking about the Sesame Street float, the 1992-2006 closing credits theme was playing in the background. It would make sense, since it was still in use with they introduced "Elmo's World"...

    Sesame Street Old School DVD's: Not For Kids

    What surprises me is that last season they taught "danger." The Little Jerry song "Danger" is rather out of date and unacceptable to be shown today... but maybe "Danger's No Stranger" is up-to-date and "hip" enough to be rerun :zany: The Pinball Number Count can still be shown, and I know it was...

    Why isn't Skeeter a Muppet?

    Don't forget that Skeeter and Piggy were arch-rivals as well! :mad: ;)

    Abby Cadabby Balloon in Macy's Thanksgiving parade

    The freeze-up happened to me, too! I thought it was just my DVR. I recorded it so I could fast-forward through all those boring constant musical numbers. It's a parade, not a vaudeville musical show!

    Abby Cadabby Balloon in Macy's Thanksgiving parade

    I just saw the Sesame Street float on TV. It was awesome! I loved seeing Barkley out there with the cast, and I enjoyed the presence of Hoots the Owl and Bob McGrath. I noticed that Elmo and Hoots were really close together. Maybe Kevin Clash was operating both puppets at the same time? And even...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    I thought that clock wasn't really scary... it reminded me of the clocks in my elementary and high schools! I think Simplex still makes those clocks. The ones I've seen look similar, like this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:OldSimplexClock.JPG Simplex also makes fire alarms (including...

    Scooby-Doo Meets the Muppet Babies!

    The first entry of a series I plan on doing. This is a variation of the 1969 "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" episode "Mine Your Own Business," with the Muppet Babies appearing alongside the Scooby-Doo gang. I didn't do the whole episode, but I did some of the funniest scenes. Some of the Muppet...

    Muppet Babies opening sequence question

    Yep. Maybe the Electric Mayhem was watching the show since their own Animal was in it. :halo: But I'm not sure who it is that says "HUH?" It might be either Baby Piggy or Baby Gonzo. Their "Huh?"s sound similar

    Why isn't Skeeter a Muppet?

    You know, I think if Laurie O' Brien was unavailable to voice Baby Piggy, Russi Taylor could easily fill in the role. Her voice is a bit similar to Russi's Minnie Mouse, and when Piggy gets angry it sounds strangely similar to Baby Gonzo ;)

    Abby Cadabby Balloon in Macy's Thanksgiving parade

    Right. With a recorded version of the parade, I can just fast forward through most of that stuff and get to the balloons and other stuff I like. Though I did like the Grinch broadway segment. I wonder which Muppets will be riding on the Sesame Street Float this year anyways? And it's good to see...

    Abby Cadabby Balloon in Macy's Thanksgiving parade

    I am going to record the NBC presentation of the parade, so I can fast-forward during those useless Broadway performances :rolleyes: And every year, they have that turkey in a pilgrim's outfit and they do a New Years' Eve-style countdown to start it, but at one, they go "Let's have a...

    Muppet Babies opening sequence question

    In the second season they DID continue using the first season opening. Also, that clip with the Muppets as the Wizard of Oz characters (predating the 2005 TV movie) during that intro was made for the opening sequence. They did a similar scene in a Season 2 episode, which was also shown during...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38

    Today, I finally got to see the Fairy Tale Emergency episode in full (the infamous non-Elmo's World "Rock paper scissors shoot! Paper, paper. Tieeeeeeeeee!" episode) As I said, the Big Bad Wolf's voice in that one (I found out it was none other than Tyler Bunch, thanks Muppet Wiki!) doesn't...

    Sesame Street TV References

    This may be just an eerie coincidence, but the Inspector Gadget episode "The Coo-Coo Clock Caper" has a scene at the end where a clock tower graphically collapses, and it reminds me of the News Flash segment about "Hickory Dickory Dock" with the horse destroying the clock. :D

    The many closing credits of Muppet Babies

    I've noticed that over the years of the "Muppet Babies," one thing that has evolved was the closing credit sequence. There were many differences, and I will post the versions I know: SEASON ONE: The shortest of the closing sequences, it starts on the shot of Baby Kermit and Piggy as...

    The "Next Muppet on Family Guy" thread

    On the 100th episode clip show, they showed the clips of the "Wrong-sounding Muppets" (just the part with them backstage and Kermit's dull "yay"), and Cookie Monster in rehab (the part with him in the room with the doctors). Even though the rehab part was funny, they got Cookie Monster a bit...
