I often think of The Muppet Show being done at night (though the Loretta Lynn episode disagrees with that), so I was surprised to see the scenes at sea, which I always felt were outside the theater (or maybe the Muppets put a big screen with pre-recorded footage there) showing them out at sea...

I'm used to the UK spot ending with a fade to black before the next scene, but that's not on the Disney Plus version. I think there's a few other times when a fade to black (particularly after the closing number) is not there, so maybe Disney Plus removed some fades. It does got me wondering...

So in The Frog Prince, Sweetums had a club. And a club was considered for the Sweetums action figure at one point. But it wasn't until recently that I realized he didn't use a c;ub often. Outside of illustrations and merchandise, did Sweetums ever use a club in anything besides The Frog...

Here's an upload that seems kinda weird. Sesame Street 20th Anniversary Part 1 #throwbacktv #retrotv #kermitthefrog - YouTube It refers to it as "Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting - Part 1", when it is the entire special, along with some episodes of Sesame Street and The Jim Henson Hour...

I watched the whole series on Roku last year, I've been meaning to talk about it here. And now I am (not long after Henson content was removed from Roku to Shout!). I liked the show enough. It's not among the all-time-best, but also not the all-time-worst, not even if you limit the...

I was surprised to see that some of those celebrity taping dates are from 1986. I would have expected those to have been in 1987 or 1988, closer to season 19. Even the shot of the cast singing a line for the end credits of Sesame Street Special was dated 1986 (and listed on the tape slate as...

It is an interesting episode. I guess the lesson is about how filming works, perhaps one lesson is that even the shortest scenes can involve a lot of work to set up and film. The scene where Oscar asks to be in the movie and gets passed over for Bruno played out differently than I had...

I recently saw some of the classic episodes on HBO Max. This is an interesting episode. On the album, the few times they acknowledge Bert's demand for a towel, they just carelessly say that there's too many people for them to reach it. Seems it was supposed to be a very small bathroom, but on...

I was watching Return of Jafar for the first time in years. With the way Iago got himself out of the lamp and dug out, he could have just rubbed the lamp while underground and they could have gotten out easier. And if Iago had agreed to just free Jafar out of his lamp, he would have been in...

Another video of more raw footage for the celebrities in Put Down the Duckie. 1986 SESAME STREET BEHIND THE SCENES FOOTAGE Paul Simon Put Down the Duckie Itzhak Perlman Big Bird - YouTube Some of the dates are a little hard to read when the clapboard is shown, but I am surprised, it looks...

I wonder if the presence of Sesame Street characters was just a gateway to attract viewers to The Masked Singer.

I feel like the Muppets were just there for most of the show. Some funny moments (such as Cookie Monster's hand doing an impression of Thing from The Addams Family). I was hoping the guests would sing some classic Sesame Street songs. We did get brief renditions of "What's the Name of That...

In honor of Mario Day, here is my list of the top ten best Mario power-ups/suits. 10. Tanooki suit (Super Mario Bros. 3) 9. Ice flower (The New Super Mario Bros. Wii) 8. Cat suit (Super Mario 3D World) 7. Double cherries (Super Mario 3D World) 6. Acorn/flying squirrel (The New Super Mario Bros...

It looks like all of the episodes that have Monsterpiece Theater segments with the pipe also had those cut (or replaced with the redone intros version).

Many budget video companies have specialized in releasing animated shorts in the public domain, and many of them have a mix of cartoons and franchises from different studios. A video where the cover appears to spotlight Bugs Bunny might also include Tweety, Casper, and Betty Boop. Or a Popeye...

What's wrong with the saying "knock it off"?

Not sure if the answer is out there but... I have heard that Dr. Seuss was initially reluctant to allow his books to be adapted into animated specials, and then about eleven Dr. Seuss specials would be produced. Anybody know if he chose what books would be adapted or if the studios wanted to...

We've noted many times that Jim Henson was rarely in street scenes, but it seems like quite a few of those rare instances were when it would have been more of an emergency. Jim Henson filled in for Caroll as Oscar once in the first season, and I found that he also voiced Big Bird in one song...

That short scene with Ernie at the end of that special Put Down the Duckie has been seen in some documentaries (I think it's in The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson), I wondered where it came from (and was sure that it wasn't for the planned behind the scenes documentary). I don't quite get why...
