    New Muppet Pilot in Development by Randall Einhorn (The Office, Modern Family) for ABC

    Really? It even has to look like THE OFFICE logo? Now I can only imagine if it does have a theme song what it will sound like.

    New Muppet Pilot in Development by Randall Einhorn (The Office, Modern Family) for ABC

    No, but network and industry standards were a lot different back then than they are now.

    Happy Birthday Slackbot!

    A low-key birthday is my kind of birthday, actually. The reason I dislike going out on my birthday is because inevitably somebody is going to acknowledge it's my birthday, prompting me to beg the server/waiter/whoever not to have the kitchen come out with that whole clapping-and-chanting number...

    New Muppet Pilot in Development by Randall Einhorn (The Office, Modern Family) for ABC

    Shows don't have theme songs anymore, it's an industry standard now, because network research believes that theme songs causes viewers to lose interest in the show and therefore will change the channel. No, seriously, that's what networks actually say, which is why shows have no theme songs...

    Commercial rant time...

    This isn't a rant either, but I have to admit, I love how put out these explorers are when they see Dora beat them to the South Pole.

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    This show owned Hammerspace! Seriously, Courage was able to keep an accordian, an anchor, and a live whale in his pockets at the same time! Not only that, so many of the props from this show were huge! Quarters the size of dinner plates, electric razors the sign of text books, I could go on...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    I really don't mind "Read and Flumberghast" so much, it's kind of an interesting take on the perspective of what kids can do with giant boxes like that (hey, I'll admit as a kid I've sat in large empty cardboard boxes before and pretended I was traveling through space), but now that you mention...

    Jody Gray - who did the music for COURAGE THE COWARLDY DOG - did the music for AFFS.

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    There's another new interview with Dilly and I learned something new that I never knew before: Eustace didn't originally scare Courage with that Ooga-Booga-Booga mask, but rather he would shoot at Courage with a shot gun in the style of golden era cartoons such as Tex Avery and Bob Clampett -...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Was that episode with Oscar's sign repeated during a later season? Because I seem to recall actually seeing it as a tot, but it would have been before my time by a few years.

    John R. Dilworth's Kickstarter for a New Dirdy Birdy Cartoon

    Here's THE DIRDY BIRDY REDUX, with a new intro by John plugging the Kickstarter campaign, and it does indeed include the previously cut sequence - kind of sad but still amusing. Don't we all wish we had a magic butt like Purdy?

    "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story" documentary in development

    No. Again, in Caroll's book, when his fifteen anniversary of working for the Muppets was coming up, Richard Hunt talked Jim into throwing him a party for the occasion.

    John R. Dilworth's Kickstarter for a New Dirdy Birdy Cartoon

    John has been one of my biggest influences when I was younger and dabbled in cartoons (he and David Feiss both); I heard that there was a redux of THE DIRDY BIRDY that he was screening for the 20th anniversary that included an additional minute of footage that was originally cut from the film...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    You realize too that they already did an episode like that two seasons ago where D.W. takes the box their new fridge came in and turned it into her and Nadine's "office".

    Are all these Furry Arms clips being uploaded lately to help bolster Furchester, or vice-versa?

    You might want to space your quotes so they'll be easier to read. JON: Garfield? I love you. GARFIELD: I love you too. JON: But, do you respect me? GARFIELD: I love you too.

    New Muppet Pilot in Development by Randall Einhorn (The Office, Modern Family) for ABC

    The most adult joke I've ever heard from any Muppet character was when Kermit was a commentator on VH1's I LOVE THE 70S, when they were talking about when streaking had become a fad. "I don't understand what the big deal is, I'm naked right now. I guess you humans have more parts that flop...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Okay, something weird is going on. Unless somebody made a mistake or error, the first week of June has one episode from the current season scheduled, and two random episodes from next season scheduled that week as well. Weird.
