    The Muppet Mindset

    The Muppet Mindset is once again having fan week. The deadline was originally last week, and I felt bad that I didn't bring it up here (interestingly, I somehow missed the initial post until about a week later), though I guess it's not really my responsibility to. But a day or two ago I saw a...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    What's especially odd about the program guides at CTW Archives not containing info on episodes 846 and 847 is that the guide for the last week of season 11 says that people can re-use their old guides for the reruns and that a schedule is included for when the reruns will air. Considering that...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    With a few members of the Muppet Wiki recently being given access to Sesame Street episode scripts from trusted sources, here are the top ten things I hope we finally get to learn from these scripts (not sure how many scripts they have access to): 10. To finally learn who animated the "cracks"...

    Wow! You're a Cartoonist

    This video was recently on YouTube for about a month, then the uploaders account was terminated. I didn't realize the whole thing was online until a week ago, the upload date was a month earlier (and it got removed a week after I found it). Though we currently can't watch it again (well, those...

    Chip's blinking pupils

    One possibility that I thought of after watching his scenes sometime after posting this: In both scenes, the scene transitions from Muppet Central to Gorilla Television, it looks like Chip's pupils blink during the static transitions. Perhaps it was supposed to blend in with the static, to look...

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    Apparently, the last Muppet Thought of the Week was released this week (and by "last", I mean the one intended as the finale, not just the most recent). Recently I found that Wow, You're a Cartoonist! was uploaded in it's entirety for the first time I know of (Hey, You're as Funny as Fozzie...

    Little things we've noticed

    It seems there have been times when characters have been shown talking, but we don't really hear them talking (or can barely hear them). I wonder what went on. During the end credits for The Muppets' Valentine Show, it looks like Rowlf is talking to Mia Farrow (we don't see his face when it...

    RIP Neil Simon

    This is sad. Just a few weeks ago I saw the two Odd Couple movies for the first time in years (first time I saw the first since 1996 and first time I saw the second since either 1998 or 1999.... and in fact those previous times were also the first time I saw them, having rented them both times...

    Old Nickelodeon

    Tonight I started wondering, out of all the old-school Nickelodeon shows of the 1990s, how many of them actually had a big adult fanbase, whether the creators or whoever wanted to appeal to adults as much as kids (would containing a lot of jokes that go over kids heads be enough to determine...

    The "You know what?" thread

    With some contributors to Muppet Wiki having Sesame Street scripts from a "trusted source", I wonder if we'll figure out the episode that introduced us to Telly Monster in his current, better-known personality as opposed to his original TV-obsessed personality, due to the fact that Caroll...

    The "You know what?" thread

    It seems like bad guys from the "smart kid vs. adult crooks" genre were competent/successful criminals until they messed with a kid who successfully defeated them (even in cases where the kids were more well-meaning or unaware). Seems the case with the bad guys from Home Alone, Dennis the...

    The Chipmunks

    A few years ago, I found some online scans from issues of Billboard magazine, and saw in the July 4, 1992 issue an article about the start of Buena Vista's Chipmunks video releases, saying that not much Chipmunk content had been released before, with one of the few exceptions being a limited...

    The Chipmunks

    Were the Chipettes actually featured a lot more on The Chipmunks than before? I feel they always were major enough. I don't think many episodes from "The Chipmunks" seasons are in the syndication package*, which I am a lot more familiar with, and I remember them being major for almost the entire...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    I did look at the Sesame Street Videography page and counted all the video releases (both direct-to-video, releases of full episodes, and releases of specials) that have been released on DVD (not counting things that wouldn't be included, like the two movies) and only counted 144 releases. And...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    It's been announced that The Magical Wand Chase will be released on November 4,with Elmo's Alphabet Challenge as a bonus video. Contents for Elmo Explores is now listed on Muppet Wiki, including episodes of The Furchester Hotel and classic Elmo's World segments (I wonder if they will be their...

    The Chipmunks

    In the last few months I have kept going back-and-forth on focusing my mind on The Chipmunks, looking up information and watching episodes/clips online. Right now I haven't been thinking that much about them, though. I read that the 1980s series changed its name from Alvin and the Chipmunks...

    The Classic Electric Company Memories Thread

    I was looking at some of the old Muppetzine articles (archived at Tough Pigs), and noticed in the news section of issue 7 (from 1994), it was said that there were plans to release four Electric Company videos as well as maybe get it rerun again. Anybody know if those home video releases came...

    Monsterpiece Theater timeline speculation

    Recently, the "trusted sources" that have been used to compile episode pages on the wiki has led to the Monsterpiece Theater page on the wiki list first appearances of several segments (mainly ones that premiered in seasons 22-24). I did ask the person who added the firsts and he said that those...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    I just saw the Teen Titans Go! To the Movies and have "Upbeat" stuck in my head (implanted further into a stuck spot after downloading the song on iTunes).
