There have been interviews with Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones, and other people responsible for WB animation in the golden age who said that they didn’t make Looney Tunes for kids or adults, they made it for themselves (though they were adults when they made them). I wonder if that would make Looney...

I've noticed sometimes that when watching videos on YouTube, there might be an ad at the very end, when the whole video is over... and this ending ad has a "skip ad" option. What's the deal with that? Do people really want to wait and see the "related videos" screen when the video ends (when...

The wiki now has info on Tom’s first appearance. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_0209 also, I think it might be the first time Oscar did his “I like being angry, which makes me happy, which makes me unhappy, which makes me happy...” bit.

Recently I found an old Nick Jr. bumper that I remembered seeing a long time ago and had wanted to find, which turns out to have been part of the Tricky Trousers series, after I happened to find another which fit the style so I searched the term, and it was pretty much the first I saw in search...

Many of the segments shot in location in New York City feature either Big Bird, Oscar, Barkley, or Mr. Snuffleupagus (or Murray Monster and Ovejita). Actually, I don't think Snuffy is in that many on-location segments, but there also tends to be a few that involve Snuffy, even if he doesn't...

I don't know whether this is the right thread for this (I've thought of a few others it'd be good for as well, maybe), but on Scarecroe's wall on the wiki, under the "do not ask for rare episodes" note is a video showing the process of creating guides from the scripts. It is cool. Comments...

I find it weird Noggin only aired part one of the five-part Purto Rico storyarc. And that they didn't air the season 16 premier. They seemed to want to focus on just three seasons each and have them be ten years apart. Though it is weird that, with season 15 being among those seasons, they...

But that was long after Ernest started appearing in movies. And long after the last Ernest movie.

Recently I've been thinking that, with the success of the Ernest movies, it's odd that other studios didn't try to cash in by producing movies starring other commercials characters. After all, when something is a hit, especially if it's innovative/unexpected success, other companies want to do...

During the 1990s, I've seen a handful of fullframe VHS releases that at least started (and maybe also ended) in widescreen for the first and maybe last few minutes. Most notably, this was on the original VHS release of Mrs. Doubtfire as well as the Jim Henson Video release of The Dark Crystal...

Recently on Muppet Wiki, there's been some discussion about deleting the "Oscar outside of his trash can" page, because it turns out that there were a lot more instances than the wiki people thought. I never really thought it was particularly rare for Oscar to be seen outside of his trash can...

After some looking, I was surprised to discover that the 50 Years and Counting album was not actually new (meaning it didn't come out this week when I found out about it), but a few months ago. The wiki just didn't have a page for it. Of course for the most part us fans haven't known about newer...

In the Taxi episode “Crime and Punishment”, where Louie gets Jeff to agree to take full responsibility of a crime that Louie had him to, after Louie confessed and the boss decided to drop charges and give Jeff his job back, we never really get another scene with Jeff in that episode. We don’t...

There is now a special anniversary album, 50 Years and Counting, available exclusively at Barnes and Noble. Looking at the wiki page, I actually can’t tell if it’s released as an LP as well as a CD. but the track listing is disappointing (as have most of the Sesame Street Records releases). and...

I was surprised to see that, though I’m also trying to remember if I was aware of that appearance or not (or at least if I was aware Hartman was in it). Kinda sounds familiar yet also sounds like something I didn’t know.

Telly's first appearance was episode 1257, in season 10. Brian Meehl first made Telly into what we know today (and he had previously performed Telly in a bit with Suzanne Farrell that came before, where he was just a generic monster) in episode 1411, in season 11. There's no additional...

According to the now-complete season 10 guides, that incarnation of Telly was only in one episode. However, a CTW Archives program guide for, I think, episode 1277 mentions a segment with Telly that wasn’t in the final cut (or at least not the final aired script). if it’s a season 10...

I don’t really want to turn this thread into a discussion on early Telly, but lately I’ve been wondering if there should be a “proto-Telly” page. Mainly tracing his appearances and evolution between his debut and when Brian Meehl made him the Telly that we all know. It’d be great to know all the...

The change from "ctw" to "123" on the Sesame Street sign also changed on the domestic show, due to the Children's Television Workshop changing its name to Sesame Workshop.

I should look, but I feel like there are a lot of new segments in the first two months of a season. The season 2 premier barely has anything from the first season (and then the next few episodes have a lot of first season repeats).
