    Wow, the could have made it a multi-part documentary series.

    Little things we've noticed

    In season 31 or 32, it seems like they started to make an attempt to make Ernie and Telly a duo. There's the imaginary t party segment, and Ernie doing his A poetry, and I think another segment. And then they stopped. I wonder what happened. Did they think the two didn't have the right...

    Can you imagine if the Rockheads were still a part of the show when Rocko was introduced? hmm, refresh my memory, did the early proto-Elmo appear in a scene with a rock head? I’m thinking Richard Hunt’s Elmo. I guess I could look at the guides again.

    Muppet Show skit on Saturday Night Live on May 15, 2021

    Somebody on Facebook thought that the inclusion of Lily Tomlin was meant to be a reference to the fact that the Muppets were on Saturday Night Live, but I’m not really getting that as a reference. Of course there are many celebrities who could have been featured as the guest star (would have...

    Old Nickelodeon

    One thing that's been on my mind, which I couldn't decide whether to bring up here or in the Nick at Nite thread I started long ago (and I couldn't decide if this is worth bumping a thread that's been inactive since 2018), but from 1988-1992, Nick at Nite aired Looney Tunes, and for a brief...

    The "You know what?" thread

    For a period on Taxi, Latka had multiple personalities (most notably Vic Ferrari). It seems like the kind of thing Andy Kaufman would want to do, but I also know that he disliked working on the show, and I have not seen anything to indicate that he or his writer contributed ideas for Latka...

    I used to think that the Wonderful World of T-shirts sketch (or, as it seems it was titled in the scripts, "Frog to Forg") was made in the late-1970s, my guess was season 9, so I was surprised that it debuted in season 12 (though it's possible it was held over from season 11). But considering...

    New Sesame Street documentary based on "Street Gang" to premiere in April 2021

    I also don't always see the new DVD releases I want in stores when they come out, which has occurred with certain Sesame Street releases as well as a lot of DVD or Blu-ray releases that are not releases of recent mainstream films. I know, I could order it, but I don't really order online often...

    New Sesame Street documentary based on "Street Gang" to premiere in April 2021

    I see that it can be rented on iTunes for 19.99 (I figured it’d be on iTunes but recently started being unsure). As soon as I get an iTunes gift card with enough money I’ll rent it.

    Muppets Haunted Mansion special coming to Disney+ on Friday October 8, 2021

    I think it's weird that Gonzo is the one challenged as opposed to somebody who might be more likely to be scared, like Kermit or Fozzie or Scooter. I feel Gonzo would thoroughly enjoy it.

    Little things we've noticed

    Ignoring the Moo Wave name, would How Now Brown and the Moo Wave be required to only sing New Wave music, as opposed to branching out into other music styles (maybe make How Now Brown a solo singer if needed)? How Now Brown looks like he could have done punk music or Billy Idol parodies.

    Little things we've noticed

    Weren't there still plenty of MTV new wave rock videos, regardless of how many different ways they were? Maybe they could have done some more direct parodies of specific New Wave songs. Even though more direct song parodies were usually done by Muppet parodies of the actual singers (though...

    Little things we've noticed

    I have recently been wondering if How Now Brown could have easily been replaced by Little Chrissy. Both characters sing rock and roll songs and both were voiced by Christopher Cerf. How Now Brown only did two songs, both from the same year, and both of which ran until the 1990s, so it's not like...

    Questions about anything

    There's a song I recently heard on the radio a few times, although I think I understand enough lyrics, I have trouble finding what the song is via typing in the lyrics. I'm not sure who the singer is, but the lead singer is a woman, and there's a chorus of children. To me it sounds like it...

    Forgetful was in street scenes just as often as he was in inserts taking place away from the street (though maybe there were less inserts with him out in the old west by the end of his run).

    And of course, Michael Earl was a main performer from 1979-1981 (he has said that during that time, he, Meehl, and Spinney were the only Muppet performers available on a daily basis), and in the late-1980s and early-1990s Camille Bonora was on quite a bit (though none of her characters really...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    I am pleasantly surprised that very few segments seem to have been blocked due to being on HBO Max (and I've even seen that some people have uploaded entire episodes, which I have actually resisted watching on YouTube). The Monsterpiece Theater segment The Monsters of Venice has been blocked in...
