    April Fools: Happytime Murders 2 rumoured to be in development

    As much as I knew this was a joke, I'd say that if STX/Henson were willing and able to make a sequel in spite of the disastrous box office performance (and risk losing money on a sequel to a movie that lost money), then that would be awesome (as long as the companies could survive if it flops...

    Shout! just posted on their Facebook page that their first real collectors-marketed Sesame Street release is coming in August, and is called "Sesame Street's Most Controversial Moments". The post: We at Shout! Factory are pleased to announce the release of our first Sesame Street DVD to be...

    It's been announced that there will be a new series of books called "Henson Performers Series", focusing on Muppet performers other than Jim Henson. From the press release by Ballentine Books: "Over the years, there have been many biographical books on Jim Henson, Muppet performer and...

    American Archive of Public Broadcasting to preserve nearly 4,500 Sesame Street episodes

    I was going to play along and "mistakenly" think you meant they'd all be online by the end of today.

    April Fools: New Fraggle Rock series coming in 2020

    It's been announced that a brand-new Fraggle Rock series is in production and is set to premier in 2020. It will feature a mix of new and old characters, and taking place after the original series wrapped up. The debut episode will find the Fraggles and Gorgs at odds against each other again...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    I'd say that one is a bit different, though. They say that he keeps shaving his head, but it doesn't seem like they're trying to reference the other actors or that he used to have hair.

    April Fools: Disney to celebrate The Muppet Movie 40th anniversary

    I meant to say that and wrote in the wrong bonus special. But it was televised, I have a feeling all of the Macy's parades still exist so getting to see the Muppets segment of that parade would be a cool thing to clear the rights to (of course that same one had Kevin Clash's first performance...

    April Fools: Disney to celebrate The Muppet Movie 40th anniversary

    I saw announced on Oh My Disney that there's plans for an official celebration of The Muppet Movie's 40th anniversary. Plans for the celebration will include: New home video release for the 40th anniversary, on DVD, Blu-ray, and Ultra 4K HD. DVD will have the same bonus features as current...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Top ten pages I thought about creating (if only as sandbox) for Muppet Wiki (most of them Sesame Street pages). 10. Kermit and Grover sketches (long ago I thought it'd be redundant with the "Kermit at Home Sketches" page, which lists any sketch with Kermit at his home, not just with Grover, but...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I was watching the songs collection video, and they actually refer to the season 2 version of Rubber Duckie as coming from season 2! How about that? But then they refer to Put Down the Duckie as being from season 24. I saw somebody point that out in the comments, I was expecting it to be the...

    Bring Your Own Can Night

    I never knew that. I always figured she had her own home on Sesame Street.

    Bring Your Own Can Night

    Ladies and gentlemen, the wiki now has a full guide for the episode. We now have context! https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_1553 Interesting how this episode has Maria's cousin Mercedes mentioned as visiting her, a season before we meet her (or does she appear in some season 12...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    I saw in the edit history it said "you read that first scene right", and I can't really determine what the surprise is. That Linda is angry?

    Bring Your Own Can Night

    Well, while the episode page itself doesn't have any info yet, I've seen a few places on the wiki that confirm that this was in episode 1553. I thought I saw 1557 on the clapboard in the behind the scenes footage, though the shot in question isn't really a good enough shot to make out much of...

    Early (pre-Kevin Clash) Elmo appearances (Brian Muehl and Richard Hunt)

    Looking at the Muppet Wiki pages (which are "final aired versions", though sometimes things that happen in the scripted scenes end up differently), episode 1257 is Telly's only appearance in that form. However, the CTW Archives program guide for episode 1277 mentions a scene with Bob, Telly, and...

    American Archive of Public Broadcasting to preserve nearly 4,500 Sesame Street episodes

    I never said they did. MikealaMuppet asked if I happened to have a link to view some content. I wasn't asked specifically about Sesame Street content, which I don't expect to come to the website (assuming some eventually will) until after episodes are available there (has it been six weeks since...

    Frank Oz Talking ‘The Muppets,’ ‘Sesame Street’ and Dark Crystal Prequel

    Here's an article about the IUS appearance that Frank Oz made last week: https://www.newsandtribune.com/news/iconic-puppeteer-and-director-frank-oz-speaks-at-ius/article_981138d0-4ab3-11e9-a168-9f43d2f16d9c.html (I can spot myself in that picture of the audience - I am near the top of the...

    American Archive of Public Broadcasting to preserve nearly 4,500 Sesame Street episodes

    So there's a part of the website where you can view some content (hopefully some of the Sesame Street episodes will eventually be included). It's great that photos can be allowed, though it looks like it's only by taking a picture of the screen as opposed to making still images. If photos are...

    Early (pre-Kevin Clash) Elmo appearances (Brian Muehl and Richard Hunt)

    The wiki has recently noted that in a couple of episodes that came during Telly Monster's transitional period between "Television Monster" and the Telly we all know, when he was a generic monster, Telly was used a few times as an unnamed monster who spoke in monster grumbles (I'm taking it that...
