    Misheard Song Lyrics

    I recently heard that the song is titled "Holla Back Girls". All this time I thought Gwen Stefani was saying "we ain't no Harlem phat girls".

    Questions about anything

    There's a meme that shows two images of Donald Duck in bed, one has him looking grumpy and clearly just awoken, the other has him go back to bed. What short did these come from?

    The "You know what?" thread

    if Disney waited five years to start work on The Rescuers Down Under, it most likely would have been a made for video sequel.

    Questions about anything

    The Rescuers was the first Disney animated film to get a sequel. Has it ever been said why The Rescuers was the first to get a sequel? Was the film really popular when The Rescuers Down Under came out? I don't remember knowing about the first film when I saw it (and in fact I don't remember...

    Donkey Hodie on PBS Kids

    I have caught an episode or two. I saw an episode with King Friday, and I was confused at first. I noticed he looked similar, and then I heard them refer to him by name. I decided to look this up and actually had a little trouble finding info on the show. I had watched Mister Rogers...

    Review: Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show

    Was it really a multi-camera show? I feel like most of the episodes I have seen do it all in one take. And while Jim did not direct The Muppet Show, he did direct some things before that (even if it wasn’t Sam and Friends).

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    I’ve been having some of the tunes from National Lampoon’s Vacation in my head. Such as Little Boy Sweet, which has replaced I’m So Excited in modern broadcasts and releases. Tell me, did the song appear somewhere in the original release? I recently watched the movie and saw it listed in the...

    Episode 12? (lost episode)

    A ton of episodes did not make the cut to HBO Max, not just the truly lost episodes.

    I'm back, and a few HBO questions....

    Of course that's the list.

    I'm back, and a few HBO questions....

    Muppet Wiki has a list on their HBO Max page. Unfortunately, halfway through last year, the majority of classic episodes were taken off the site. The service now only has episodes from seasons 1, 5, and 7 (and 39-up).

    It's The Muppet Show! (audio from Fisher-Price Talk-To-Me Book)

    Seems like the majority of the book borrows from the show (or maybe many of the jokes are just old standards). Most of Fozzie's jokes had been done on the show, the Veterinarian's Hospital sketch looks like an adaptation of the Cow sketch from the Dom DeLuise episode (without the "we want...

    Questions about anything

    Recently I saw The Pee-wee Herman Show (the original, not the Broadway revival) for the first time, and noticed the credited said "written by the cast" (and then it adds one name I forget, I guess a writer who wasn't a performer). I'm guessing the cast mainly wrote their own segments (with...

    Question about law regarding children's programming on network television

    I thought this rule started in 1996 or 1997 (when CBS notably only accepted educational programming for Saturday mornings and canceled everything on its saturday morning line-up except for Beakman's World). Then recently The Nostalgia Critic did a video on Garfield and Friends, and he said that...

    Old Nickelodeon

    I might have asked before (or maybe it was on a Facebook group page), but did anybody watch the New Years 1997 marathon at midnight? I feel like I saw some of it but not all of it, and I'd really like to know what the surprise teased in this commercial was. Nick New Year's Eve '97 Promo-...

    Little things we've noticed

    I was looking at the Muppet Wiki page for the computer game Muppets on Stage... Muppets on Stage | Muppet Wiki | Fandom Is it just me or does it look like Gonzo is wearing the checkered outfit he would wear starting with Muppet Classic Theater in the game (which came out in the 1980s)?

    Sam and Friends - Old Black Magic

    I've been watching the Sam and Friends episode with "Old Black Magic".... Can anybody tell if the characters on the television screen are just behind a cut-out hole in the screen area or if they were actually projecting pre-recorded video on the TV? I always thought the set was just cut to...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    There's a song called "Words", by Missing Persons. The common lyric is "what are words for? 'Cause no one listens anymore." So was that topical back when the song was written? Is it true that, at least back then, nobody listened anymore? And if no one listened anymore, how could they be sure...
