    April Fools: Muppets Now Season 2 to premiere this fall

    I had considered a post saying that Disney Plus was adding Muppet content, I would have said it was Hey Cinderella, The Frog Prince, The Muppet Musicians of Bremen, The Muppets Go Hollywood, The Fantastic Miss Piggy Show, Tale of the Bunny Picnic, and "Muppet Shorts" - which would have mainly...

    The "You know what?" thread

    For the last few years, the term "Sesame Brats" has applied to a certain kind of Sesame Street fan on the forum, though there are many who have decided against calling them that - and apparently, it was the "Brats" themselves who applied the term for them. But what if Sesame Street had...

    April Fools: Disney buys Sony (and especially Sony-owned Muppet films)

    I had originally planned on just saying Disney bought MTM, MFS, and KSY. In fact I had toyed with this April fools post since I had become a member of the forum.

    April Fools: Disney buys Sony (and especially Sony-owned Muppet films)

    Well, I guess soon people will stop asking "why doesn't Disney+ carry MTM and MFS?" Or they'll have a more legitimate reason to ask the longer they wait to do so. It's been announced that Disney has bought Sony, which means they own the rights to The Muppets Take Manhattan, Muppets from...

    Little things we've noticed

    Last night I saw the street scenes from episode 1880, noticed a brief speaking appearance by Bruno, saying "okay". And I noticed in both that and the 1980 World Puppetry Appearance, he talks a little softly. There's also a season 13 episode where he's shown talking but can't really be heard...

    April Fools: Muppet Adventures REMASTERED coming to 2021 gaming consoles

    I thoughts about saying “I have a few better ones planned... APRIL FOOLS!”, but “better” is subjective (and maybe the fans would like the others a lot better).

    April Fools: I saw Dinosaurs Pogs at the store

    I know. I had originally considered posting about Fraggle Rock pogs before deciding Dinosaurs might be a little more random. Maybe I should have made it be about Ghost of Faffner Hall pogs.

    April Fools: I saw Dinosaurs Pogs at the store

    This morning I went to Target and saw official Dinosaurs Pogs. How odd. Pogs hadn't been popular since 1996, though I have seen new Pogs at Target in the last few years. A list inside a mini-catalogue mentions who all is included. There's Pogs for all the main characters, plus one for every...

Much like DuckTales Remastered and Aladdin/The Lion King Remastered, this special remastered edition will be remastered in...

    Frank Welker is coming to Galaxy Con on Saturday April 24th

    It is interesting that the more expensive ones seem to also get less time with each fan. I would think the ones that cost less would be longer sessions. Of course the ones who charge more are probably in more demand (and I'm not sure who decides on the prices), and I guess if there's more demand...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    An early Aristotle appearance. I am surprised to see he has less hair than in other appearances I have seen (which come from the same episode), his ears are a lot easier to see as well. I should have seen these on the wiki guides (unless I just hadn't seen the episode page after images were...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    I say that I don't really remember the Blue Bird segments from when I was a kid, but he pretty much sounds the way I was expecting (and he wasn't voiced by any of the main performers or anyone whose voice I am familiar with). Must be sudden instant recall effect. Speaking of an instant recall...

    Little things we've noticed

    Just because he wasn't voicing characters yet does not mean he wasn't involved with writing songs yet. Thinking a bit about the Monotones, even though it was common for one of the regular voices to be absent, I wonder if instead of Richard Hunt they should have had another of the songwriters...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Looking at the page and editing history for Blue Bird, I feel I should have clicked on the sourced link, as the page previously only mentioned a little of what Rick Lyon said about Blue Bird. Though the whole quote has been there for months. Back when I only knew of him being dropped because...

    Could have been his opportunity to do more (I don’t think the voice actor did much on Sesame Street, either).

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    I should check Muppet Wiki because that was not on the page last time I checked (which was a while ago). Blue Bird kind of sounds like a Kevin Clash character, though I know Clash didn’t do the voice. I wonder why they had it be a separate voice actor as opposed to Rick Lyon.

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    This is the first I heard about Caroll Spinney hating the segment (I guess that’s why they didn’t have him play Blue Bird). i don’t really remember the character from when I was a kid though I was actively watching the show then (and it seems like the kind of thing that should have stood out...
