I don't know if this is the right place to post this or if I should have started a different post, but last week I saw Frank Oz in person. He gave a speech at Indiana University Southeast as part of the place's Sanders Speaker Series, which has notable people from around the country speaking. I...

I doubt I'll be able to go to either archives location anytime soon, but there are a lot I would like to see. There are episodes I'd like to see more for the sake of confirming things (I've been meaning to list episodes people should see if their main goal is to add to Muppet Wiki, though we...

Recently, I watched the 1994 VHS release of Hey Cinderella, which has a short promo for The Frog Prince. However, the promo is just a picture of the video box with the announcer briefly mentioning this (I suspect The Frog Prince 1994 VHS did the same for Hey Cinderella - then I watched the...

Some great recent revelations/curiosities from recently-added info. It turns out there's a season 9 episode involving an unnamed dog who might be Barkley. I would have thought if he were in season 9 he'd be called Woof-Woof, but it's possible he was unnamed then given a name, though it's...

Yes.

Except Gordon does refer to him as Dad in this episode.

Well, Muppet Wiki has more info on Awesome Alphabet Collection, which confirms it'll be a mix of classic and recent material, though most of the specific stuff mentioned is more recent (it does mention Maya Angelou doing a handclapping game about the letter H, that's from the '90s but I can't...

I couldn't really decide on which one.

Recently, I've noticed that the images on the back covers of the 1994 releases of Hey Cinderella and The Frog Prince seem to replace backgrounds with a plain color. Took a long time for me to really notice, but I was looking at the images on the back of Hey Cinderella and noticed the humans in...

It seems like a lot of recurring Muppet segments (though obviously not any of the short form series) have only one or two installments in their debut season and take a bit of time before they really get a big back catalog of individual segments. For example, the first season had two Answer...

Yeah, for an anniversary release, it'd be better to represent most of the seasons/eras almost equally (though my wishlist kinda reflected that, though more on the first decade than others). Heck, a few years ago, when the main cast was shortened to seven, I thought there should have been a...

I kept debating over whether to provide a sketch wishlist for my idea of an anniversary DVD spotlighting the main characters who were there in the first season, but why not? Big Bird Big Bird meets Sally The Sound of the Letter A ABC-DEF-GHI (season 4 version) Big Bird's Backwards/Forwards...

Last night I thought up a good concept for a 50th anniversary DVD (or online "collection"): One that's kind of like the "Best of Friends" DVD release, only it'd focus on the characters who have been on the show since the first season: Big Bird, Bert and Ernie, Oscar, Cookie Monster, and Grover...

They need to make a mash-up of every song that has more than one version.

I don't think there's been a thread for the Muppet Sing-Alongs video series, but I just recently saw the last of the ones I previously hadn't and thought I'd start a thread. Here are my thoughts on the videos: Billy Bunny's Animal Songs It's a weird choice for the first Muppet sing-along...

I didn't notice that that was the joke when I was a kid (not until I saw the joke explained online), was confused by Statler and Waldorf's reaction on audio releases ("on the show that wasn't funny, but on a record it doesn't make sense"). I thought the humor came from the fact that it showed...

In the last year I decided to download the entire disco albums, at first just downloading some tracks, including Happiest Street, and for a while I'd frequently listen to that one over and over again. But lately, I find myself listening to What Makes Music over and over again. The disco...

Frank Oz said in his interview for The Muppet Mindset last year that he can't just go to Disney, tell them he's one of the original/long-running Muppet performers, and pitch an idea that he thinks is right (unless he can show evidence that it will make a big profit).

And he keeps saying that he never gets asked back. He says that Disney doesn't ask him to perform the Muppets even though he has said he was asked to be involved with the 2011 film, but I have a feeling that was more of an offer by Jason Segal/Nick Stoller/James Bobin than the Walt Disney...

The album Sesame Disco has two great songs - What Makes Music and The Happiest Street in the World (actually, all of the albums songs/tracks are great, but these are the two I am focusing on now). Which of the two is better? What Makes Music is the opening track, and it is a great opening...
