On the Sirius channel 80s on 8, between songs they often have an announcement that Mark Goodman can’t be in on that day. Not exactly a new thing, but lately I feel like I hear these skits all the time. it makes me wonder - does Mark Goodman DJ on 80s on 8? Is there some significance to these bits?

Long ago, I noticed in the first two episodes of Pee-wee's Playhouse, each of the supporting humans gets a scene throughout the episode, and then most of them come back for the final scene (I guess in the second episode they're back a little bit longer at the end). Then the fourht episode is a...

I dreamt that I went to a bookstore and saw that Frank Oz wrote a book. At first I thought it was an autobiography, but it turned out to be a general book about the film industry, with profiles and info on a number of talents, both associated and not associated with Oz. I found big profiles on...

The other night I dreamt I was watching a scene with Timmy Monster, and he opened his mouth so wide that I could see a smaller monster head inside his mouth. I wondered if that had always been there and I just hadn't noticed. I also wondered, since the performers look out a hole in his mouth, if...

I've found a few recently uploaded clips of Biff and Sully that I had not seen before. I am liking the song Working Together. It sounds like it could have made a good theme song for an '80s sitcom. There's also Song of the Tools. Very catchy. It's a shame this one was not released on an...

In the Animaniacs episode "Potty Emergency", Wakko gets a toilet out of a sack that carried all sorts of larger-than-the-sack items, and then his problem is having a private place to use the potty. Considering how much he could fit in the sack, couldn't Wakko have gotten privacy just by using...

I was thinking about the old "Boo Boo Baba Dee Dee" commercial..... Boo Boo Baba Dee Dee ☆Great Quality☆ - YouTube I had thought the singing voices were just voices..... But now it hits me that maybe those were supposed to be Cartoon Network characters singing (and we don't see who is...

The next release, coming August 18, is Elmo and Abby's Amazing Adventures. Looks like it's primarily a release of animated segments, along with some live action segments. Considering this and the recent Elmo and Tango release, I have a feeling that most upcoming Sesame Street video releases...

I was confused at first. I am not familiar with her and thought she was Nora, and wondered how Lips could have been her babysitter when it seemed she did not know the band until the series.

I really like Janice’s rendition of “True Colors”. Seems like the first two episodes are the only ones with titles of songs that the band sings on the show. It would have been nice if they worked in a little nod to Fozzie getting emotional over “True Colors”.

So various sketches have been given different titles depending on official releases, and people say that titles aren't really important or meant to be "official". Though it seems like each sketch usually has the same title in each script to list it, and there are titles that tend to be sure to...

I've had some recent observations about Electric Mayhem toys over the years. Animal has always been the most popular in merchandise, but recently as I have been thinking about this and researching, I've found that Zoot was merchandised a fair bit back in the Muppet Show days. There was a...

They didn’t put in an old Bob insert like they did with the Luis tribute episode. I had wondered what fairly recently clip would have been (I thought Walking the Dog, or maybe I Am Your Friend, which was only in one episode). Oh well.

I recently saw Pee-wee's Big Adventure for the first time. Is it known anywhere (besides to those who worked on the film) who dubbed Pee-wee's voice during the movie sequence ("paging Mr. Herman")? I didn't notice any voice credits and last I checked the unreliable Internet Movie Database...

Frank Oz has said that he's thought about not writing an autobiography, sometimes saying that his life isn't that interesting ("I wash the dishes"), and I think he's said that Twitter is a way to post interesting information without writing a book. But I feel a book done this way, with him and...

I was going to do a post that there were going to be Sesame Street NFTs, but then an actual announcement for them was made. So I figured I might as well plan all my April Fools posts to be about things I really want, in case such announcements do get made. i might be wrong but I think this is...

Well, it’s been announced on social media…. “A new Muppet movie is in the works. Tentatively titled The Muppets Hit the Fan, it’s an original story reminiscent of the Stephen King story Misery, set to star Neil Patrick Harris as a crazily obsessed fan of the Muppets glory days who manages to...

Frank Oz just tweeted that he and Dave Goelz have gotten together to write a book about themselves as well as Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, and of course Jim Henson. It'll be titled "Us and Them and Jim", and each talent will get four chapters - two each written Oz and two by Goelz. Oz describes...

I'm remembering if a certain scene occurred on the original series. I remember an episode that had a scene with the Muppet Babies imagining they are taking care of a baby, probably a baby doll but presented as real in their imagination, and Fozzie gets it to stop crying by taking its batteries...

This and Hal Linden might be the only ones that I have watched four times on Disney Plus. Most of the other episodes that I previously have not seen (as well as ones that I have seen) I have only watched twice at most on Disney Plus. I know I did watch Arlo Guthrie and Buddy Rich three times...
