These days, Toughpigs tends to do articles on the death of pretty much every celebrity who has worked with the Muppets before. It said in that article that Regis Philbin holds the world record for appearing in the most hours of television. I wonder how that could really be proven (and does...

Another thing interesting is that when Palisades Toys put out the Muppet figures, they initially were not allowed to make a reporter Kermit because it was more associated with Sesame Street, and eventually were allowed as long as he wore his hat (and I can't remember if Planet Koozebane...

I don't think I'm as good as identifying performer movements as other people here and at Toughpigs (though I have speculated some things), but I did feel there was something familiar about that keyboardists movements. I did start wondering if maybe Come Join Us was shot in season 11 and held...

Wow, a season 12 segment with four Muppets, clearly four performers, and the trusted documents the wiki has been using to track performers in various segments only lists three performers - Brian Meehl, Michael Earl, and Karen Prell. I've heard that those docs aren't complete, but I wonder who...

I'm remembering a commercial from around 2000-2002. It was for either a computer or an electronics store. A boy is shown offering trades with friends that they all rejects, they have something a lot more fun and desirable than he does. One of his offers is "I'll trade you this newspaper for...

Just yesterday I was thinking about how there's been so many different talking Sesame Street toys, and I started trying to think of if there's ever been any talking Muppets toys, and I couldn't really think of any - and the only talking Kermit plush I know of is also the only Kermit toy released...

A rare Bert and Ernie segment.

Was looking at the TV Tropes page for The Little Rascals, and saw this listed as "stealth insult" for the 1994 film: Waldo's dad (played by Donald Trump) tells Waldo he's the best son money can buy, while Waldo takes it as a sincere compliment. So what is the insult there? It's the only scene...

It seems like Roosevelt Franklin was used the most reguarly/frequently after Matt Robinson stepped down from his role as Gordon. In the first season, he had three songs, in the second season, he had Roosevelt Franklin Spells His Name, and I can't think of any other real notable appearances he...

I don't know. I tend to see the later (and not-so-good) episodes more often than the early (and much better) ones.

While I prefer the early years of M*A*S*H over the later years, I do prefer Winchester over Burns. Frank Burns comes off as the kind of boss I would not want to have, or the kind of bossy employee who's not the boss but gets his way too much.

I was just about to share the link to Dexter's debut! Oh well, here's another guide, Oscar and Bruno hear the story of Snow White. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2030 I remember somebody talking about this on the forum (either this one or Toughpigs) a long time ago, saying that...

I had noticed that Sully appeared a few times in seasons 24-26 but not that many (and as a kid back in 1994, I thought he was being used more), while Biff appeared without him a lot more. But looking at episodic appearances, I was surprised to see that Biff also didn't appear at all in seasons...

Today I was watching the Laurel and Hardy short The Music Box, and at the beginning, it says that they put together all of their money - $3.20 - and started a business. With inflation, was this considered a joke back in 1932? It seems humorous that they would spend that much to start a...

And now that we know there's one with Ernie, I am really hoping that there was one with Bert and the monsters. It would also be amazing to learn if there was one where the characters actually spoke.

I dreamt that the Muppets were in National Lampoon's Vacation, along with the Griswalds. It was just Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, and Beaker (maybe also Camilla, maybe also Pepe). And there was some scene on a basketball stadium where Beaker was with a bunch of bald guys with glasses and...

Itzhak Perlman and Oscar in concert: The full "King Banishes the Letter P": I didn't share the links here in case they came from the episodes on HBO Max (even though "what links here" shows that they don't), I don't feel right drawing attention to rare clips in those episodes that fans have...

Recently I've found some rare clips that have surfaced somehow. I've looked at "what links here", and it looks like they're not in any of the HBO Max episodes, but I also haven't seen them posted to Muppet Wiki's Facebook or Twitter (and haven't seen links on the appropriate wiki pages, if the...

Was looking at the Wally and Ralph page on the wiki to see if they did new material in seasons 4 and 5 (or if they just repeated their bits in those seasons). I realize that the wiki does not yet have guides for all of seasons 4 and 5, but it looks like only two segments aired past season 3...

I think fans thought Roxy Marie was meant to replace Sully, and I guess I thought she debuted in season 24 instead of 23, but it is interesting they added her while Richard Hunt was still around, but I guess they knew Richard Hunt didn't have much time left and were already preparing. David...
