    The Muppet Show on American television

    I feel like people were really starting to use the internet around 1993, though I didn’t really know about it until 1996.

    Top ten segments from each season

    I don’t recall if I’ve done this before, but I’d like to list my top ten favorite segments, at least for now, and in no particular order, from each season. And to be honest, I am not sure whether I’ll list every season (I haven’t seen a whole lot from the last few seasons). But we’ll see how far...

    The Muppet Show on American television

    It’s interesting, that was mentioned in a MuppetZine article, which came shortly after the public was starting to use the internet (a few months after I first got the internet), the magazine didn’t have any articles announcing why TMS was canceled on Nick. I wonder how they found out. Must...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I do prefer how the Wet Paint host talks. I wonder what it would have been like it SMV was a recurring thing and used for more songs. I could see such intros being used for such songs as Healthy Food, Don’t Throw That Trash on the Ground, Rebel L, Monster in the Mirror, Mountain of Love, The...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Yeah. Seems they were interested in spoofing MTV a lot, with MTV-style introductions. Still, season 16 had at least two veejays performed by Fran Brill, one of whom wasn’t named. I wonder if they should have just used the same veejay both times. One was an alliterative N name for NTV, but that...

    The "You know what?" thread

    A lot of my favorite Sesame Street inserts, or at least a lot of the ones I’ve been really enjoying lately, come from seasons 16 and 17. Which includes segments I may not have been familiar with until seeing them online recently, or I had seen them before but hadn’t watched or cared about much...

    The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss: Season 1 vs. Season 2

    I know I could have looked at that. I chose not to look when making that post, to honestly talk about what I could or couldn’t remember off-hand.

    The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss: Season 1 vs. Season 2

    I didn’t think any particular seasons were discussed more or less than others. Didn’t think the show had much talk at all on the Muppet forums (and I was a fan of the show when it aired). 8pm on a Sunday isn’t a particularly late time for people. When I was in Elementary school my bedtime was...

    The Muppet Show on American television

    I can’t remember, Toughpigs has scans of every page of every article. I don’t recall a big “The Muppet Show is off the air to not compete with Muppets Tonight” article, I recall it being mentioned in passing somewhere, but I recall it was after the shows last broadcast on ABC, so maybe the Fall...

    The Muppet Show on American television

    i saw that mentioned in a Muppetzine article. it’s a shame that the competition clause affected TMS reruns.

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    What I meant was that it was planned to air on CBS but ended up not airing there, coming to video first (and lumped in as part of the Snoopy Double Feature series as opposed to releasing it on its own and making a big deal out of it, though I don’t think there was any promotion for the made for...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I thought there has been a lot of segments that aired and then tested poorly afterwards (maybe they tested well enough with the test audience, which would be a fairly smaller amount of children than those who would watch when they air on television). I can’t really think of any segments, though...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    They probably didn’t air internationally because they show words on the sign. Or are there sight word segments that have aired internationally (it would be hard to replace the words being spelled)? I looked at the “what links here” and so far the wiki doesn’t know of any airings past season 3...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    I never knew that, but they still re-aired many of the classic animated Christmas specials that have aired practically every year (A Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman, maybe A Garfield Christmas, and the early ‘90s brought us some new animated Christmas specials like A Wish...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    I thought it was ridiculous that so many fans complained that those specials wouldn’t be broadcast on television. Not just because the Apple TV + app allows for those specials to be viewed for free on certain days, but because they have been released on nearly every home video format, are...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I don’t think the wiki has done a sketch transcript in so long. while this transcript comes from the script as opposed to a video copy (I guess they dropped this from circulation early on), I can’t believe I never thought before that, while they’re limited with uploading clips, they possibly...

    Questions about anything

    There’s a few cases where I was worried it’d turn out they didn’t actually air on the show, or I’d think it was only in one episode, only to find more guides with them. Some examples include Bert and Ernie: Banana in Ear part 3 (now I know it’s in at least two episodes) and Seven Monsters. So...

    Questions about anything

    Yeah, I forgot Judd Hirsch played Adam’s other grandfather (who is called Pop Pop). He appeared so infrequently that his absence from the lack of him in the first few episodes of the season is not something I’d be curious about.
