    Dinosaurs shorter opening

    Here is something I remember, which doesn't occur on the DVDs. I used to have them taped off TV, though I don't think I have the tapes anymore (and I forget which episodes have this). But I am remembering that sometimes, the opening would be shorter (like how The Simpson's opening is often...

    Questions about anything

    Do television shows still do clip shows? I don't think I've ever seen any clip show episodes in the era of high definition television. Though it seems more common now for shows to start with a recap of previous episodes, showing clips from many past episodes to show things that the next...

    The "You know what?" thread

    One thing that has been on my mind, and I think I talked about it here before (either in this thread, the questions about anything thread, or the "what's the deal" thread), in the old days of television, most shows seemed to have just one episode for each holiday (especially Christmas), if they...

    Baldness on Red Fraggle

    In Mokey Then and Now, it's shown that Fraggles used to be bald. Maybe he was the cause of that.

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    On June 7, there's gonna be Potty Time Plus! Getting Ready with Elmo, which will be a reissue of Potty Time with Elmo but also include additional street stories, segments, and other things. I wonder if this could be a new trend for videos, reissuing older ones with "PLUS" added to the title...

    Any Ernst Fans?

    Just today I learned that after Jim Varney died, they actually considered recasting Ernest and shot a demo reel with a different actor, before deciding not to air them. New Ernest Demo Reel - YouTube

    April Fools: Muppet Vision 3D remake coming to Disney Plus

    I think I've realized that, as much as I like April Fools Day, and like starting threads and doing social media posts announcing news that is not real.... I think I really like doing fake news announcements and basically having an excuse to write something similar to a wishlist (only it appears...

    April Fools: Muppet Vision 3D remake coming to Disney Plus

    I can't believe what has been announced on The Hollywood Reporter. It gets me saying "really???" But this could be exciting. "Following the success of the recent Disney+ special Muppets Haunted Mansion, the Muppets will be starring in a brand new direct to Disney+ feature film based on...

    April Fools: Season 53 to focus on an "old friends" curriculum

    I had considered a similar post where I said that, after there’s been so many recurring segments with animated versions of the SST Muppets as well as a couple of fully animated specials, the show would be completely reformatted as a 100% animated series.

    April Fools: Pigs in Space and Vets Hospital re-action figures coming fall

    Well, for the last few months, we have known that there will be a set of Electric Mayhem re-action figures. But now it’s been announced there will be more in Fall. A three- figure Pigs in Space and a three-figure Veterinarians Hospital. Hmm, if The Electric Mayhem series is six figures, this...

    April Fools: Season 53 to focus on an "old friends" curriculum

    It's been announced that for season 53, there'll be a curriculum of reuniting with old friends and families, with discussion on how sometimes friends drift apart and can't be around as much as before. As part of this curriculum, the season will include return guest appearances by Gordon...

    Little things we've noticed

    Just the other day, I watched an episode of The Muppet Show on YouTube, a slowed down video… and in slow motion, almost everybody sounds like a Richard Hunt character (and not just Richard Hunt’s characters).

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    I was just double-checking (on YouTube) and I see it appears at both the beginning and end of the video.

    The water from the pipes

    So in the third episode, it's established that the Fraggle Pond gets its water from the pipes when the Pipe Bangers bang on the pipes, which comes because Doc hears noise in the pipes and has to turn it on. So I wonder how they got the water both before Doc moved and after. I often feel like...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Love Lifted Me. In particular, the version sung in a promo for the Ronald McDonald House of Charity (as seen at the end of the Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue VHS). Ronald McDonald Children's Charities Love Lifted Me commercial 1990 - YouTube

    Ron Howard to direct Jim Henson Documentary

    I am excited for this. I hope it includes a lot of Muppet footage not on Disney +. I also hope it leads to more Muppet content coming to the service (even if we have to wait until closer to the documentary's release).

    Don Knotts Episode on Disney+

    I watched this to see how Disney+ edited it. The final scene is an especially bad edit (showing a wipe during the scene). I can't decide whether it would have just been better to start that part with Floyd telling Fozzie to take off his shades. Would it have been so bad if they left in all...

    Baldness on Red Fraggle

    This may sound weird but.... Anybody ever notice that, while Red Fraggle has two pigtails, the surface of her head is otherwise bald? Seems like normally the only hair she has is in her pigtails, with no hair surrounding the very top of her head. I wonder if this would qualify as a puppet...
