    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    I've known this for a while and keep forgetting to report it here, but the next release, coming January 31, is Furry Friends Forever. I am not sure what the main program is, something animated with Elmo and Tango. I would think the recent Furry Friends Forever: Elmo Gets a Puppy special, but...

    Little things we've noticed

    Thinking more about Before and After… I wish that the pumpkin hippie lost his hair in the second to last take of the group, and then at the end was holding his hair in his hand, along with the leader holding his hat in his hand.

    Little things we've noticed

    As I was watching last night, I was also kind of hoping the pumpkin member’s nose would have fallen off. I’ve heard they use t-pins to hold noses on, I wonder if it would have hurt to just press in it to make it fall off on purpose. We only briefly hear the hippies individual voices. We hear...

    Little things we've noticed

    After watching the season two Before and After song, I am convinced that the pumpkin hippie's hair falling off his head was deliberate (maybe decided upon after all those takes where the fat blue hippie's hat falls off). As I was watching, in the previous scenes, he is moving wildly, but in...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    I dreamt that Muppet Wiki had some new info on The Muppets Mayhem. In the dream, I learned that each episode would heavily be Muppet Show compilations, with the guides confirming many songs from two individual episodes per episode (so for example, one guide mentioned it would have four song...

    Sesame Street Season 53 Episode 5306 - Bert’s Bike Time with Luis (Emilio Delgado Tribute)

    I was surprised to hear about this. I was thinking they would have dedicated an episode to Emillio last season. And I was expecting this one to be dedicated to Bob McGrath. A little eerie that they planned an episode as a tribute to one former cast member and it just happened to premiere the...

    The "You know what?" thread

    The other night I was watching the ME-TV "Tiny Toony Christmas Special", I noticed that back in the golden age of animation there weren't a lot of Christmas shorts, and yet most of the ones shown have very little dialogue, many focused more on being cute. And yet of the shorts featured that...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Over the years, there have often been new cable channels. I don’t think my cable provider ever added any new channels on the day they premiered. My cable provider always just added several new channels at once when they did. But I assume new channels do get added at launch somewhere. I think...

    Little things we've noticed

    Two different characters who provide services to Oscar are The Mudman and Bruno. While they don't work together, they both look similar to Biff and Sully, though The Mudman looks more like Biff when he is in illustrated form. There's also the fact that The Mudman and Biff were both performed by...

    Little things we've noticed

    One thing I am curious about is Baker #4 appearing to follow the "Ernie weighs cherries" sketch in this clip. Sesame Street - Baker # 4 - YouTube I did the "what links here" thing on the wiki, and there's no (American) episode where the sketches appear back to back, though I did see one or two...

    Little things we've noticed

    I wonder if they intentionally tried to have the wig fall off or if they had trouble keeping it on when that hippie moved so wildly with such long hair. I would have thought they’d Velcro, pin, or use double sided tape, maybe they felt it would stay on without assistance and were wrong.

    Little things we've noticed

    Maybe it's just me, but the Pumkin Anything Muppet, whenever the character is completely bald, kind of looks like one of the old McDonalds Chicken McNuggets puppets (even when this one has a nose, whereas the McNuggets don't have noses).

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Now every segment with Lefty the Salesman is on YouTube. It is interesting seeing him sell items to characters other than Ernie. Herry seems to be as grouchy as Oscar in regards to his presence. The one with Molly marks the first time I saw a clip from one of the reported-lost episodes online...

    Did Bugsy Vile wear a wig?

    I haven’t watched the Dog City animated series in years, but I am trying to remember, did Bugsy Vile wear a wig? My memory says yes but I don’t see anything online that says so. of course, Bugsy in the original special did not have hair while Bruno did have black hair (I don’t recall Bruno’s...

    We did that in a beastly cartoon, it was a beauty

    I was reading on the wiki that the song was originally going to be called "be Our Ghost" and left in some references and I had trouble placing any. Still, seriously? "We did that in a beastly cartoon?", as in rats did that in Beauty and the Beast? Don't really know what a "croon" means.

    I don't think paying them royalties for Sesame Park would be too different from paying them royalties for the main Sesame Street.

    We did that in a beastly cartoon, it was a beauty

    During the "Life Hereafter" song in Muppets Haunted Mansion, at one point they make a reference to Beauty and the Beast. One rat sings "we ain't rich and he can't groove" (and I kept having trouble understanding that line), and then another says "we did that in a beastly cartoon", to which...

    The "You know what?" thread

    When it comes to adult cartoons on the networks (not cable channels), Fox seems to do the most successful, while ABC, CBS, and NBC all seem to avoid adult cartoons. Of course, once The Simpson’s began, ABC and CBS tried their hands at prime time cartoons and those failed. CBS tried Fish Police...

    I mistakenly thought it was on The Disney Channel tomorrow night as opposed to tonight.

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

    What's the deal with Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein having that title? It is the first of the "Abbot and Costello Meet..." series of films where they meet movie monsters, but in this first one, Dracula and the Wolf Man are featured just as prominently (maybe even more so) than...
