    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    The end credits sequence for Muppet Treasures is online. Recently somebody made a fake end credits sequence that I linked to recently, but I am a little disappointed that one of the "attic videos" does not end with a regular version of the closing theme, instead being an instrumental version...

    Episode 1966

    I am so glad to see a rundown of the episode. I was surprised by how soon the adults believe Big Bird. I was expecting it to happen in the second to last street scene. Though now I realize that it doesn't start that soon - they begin to believe Big Bird in the third street scene. In...

    Little things we've noticed

    In The Muppet Movie, when entering the El Sleezo Cafe, Kermit says it doesn't look promising but he has to eat. So is that the only restaurant in this town (or the first place to eat that Kermit's seen for a while since traveling)? Surely there'd be better places nearby (or he could find a fly...

    Old Nickelodeon

    I wonder if Summers would come back, considering he has obsessive compulsive disorder. Then again, he did have that problem back when the original show was on the air and hosted in spite of it (not sure whether the info was public back then), but I think they ended the show because his OCD got...

    What are YOUR ideas of headcannons for Lips??

    There's also a backstory that was mentioned in The Muppets Character Encyclopedia, in which Lips got his nickname after practicing outdoors on a snowy day and getting his lips stuck, and that he was hired when The Electric Mayhem decided they needed a brass section and a sixth member to divide...

    What are YOUR ideas of headcannons for Lips??

    I might have to change this part. Okay, so during that time, The Electric Mayhem went through a semi-retirement period, only performing when Kermit really needed them, and due to Lips' habit of not showing up due to shyness attacks, they simply didn't bother to ask him whenever they would...

    What are YOUR ideas of headcannons for Lips??

    Thinking of a bit more backstory for Lips (as well as Trumpet Girl).... Lips was often shy and took trumpet lessons as a way of overcoming shyness. He met Trumpet Girl at some kind of horn instrument get-together, maybe it was trumpeteer camp, maybe it was a jazz night, maybe it was something...

    What are YOUR ideas of headcannons for Lips??

    I often thought of Lips as someone who's really shy unless he's playing the trumpet, which explains his silence (though in most instances of him talking, he seems to talk with wild confidence). He kinda looks a bit shy when he's shown without his trumpet. And there's also the fact that people...

    On Friday, my picks for four favorite Muppet Show episodes were the ones with Madeline Kahn, John Cleese, Roger Miller, and Loretta Switt. On Saturday, my picks for four favorite Sesame Street episodes were episode 1, episode 1836, episode 1899, and the one where Slimey lands on the moon...

    Tough Pigs Muppetational May Challenge

    For day three, I listed as my four favorite Fraggle Rock characters Red, Boober, Wembley, and Junior Gorg (so far, I haven't seen many others list any of the Gorgs). It would be interesting to look at everyones tweets for favorite Muppet, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock characters and see who...

    Tough Pigs Muppetational May Challenge

    I had no idea about the pictures thing. Midnight has passed in my time zone, so I've already taken day 2 of the challenge, four favorite Sesame Street characters: Cookie Monster, Grover, Herry, and Oscar (I kinda wish I'd include some old school/obscure character, Herry would be the closest...

    Is there an overrated/underrated Muppet production?

    Your Thoughts: "Muppet Guys Talking" premieres on-line March 16, 2018

    I finally purchased the film this weekend, and it is great. Interesting when they talk about performing full-bodied monsters, and Fran Brill talks about how difficult it is. I wonder when she has performed a full-body character. Sesame Street doesn't really have that many full-bodied...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Noggin aired all the season 1-20 premieres except for season 16. I guess it was important to air most of the season premieres, though the average casual fan wouldn't instantly know it was the season premiere (they'd be more likely now in an age of Muppet Wiki). Some seasons were only represented...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Looking at a Muppet Wiki sandbox page tracking how each season of Sesame Street is represented in regards to how many episodes have pages, with different bars for whether the page was edited by somebody with a full episode, an episode page that doesn't list the entire episode, and episodes that...

    The Mario Kart Thread

    I never played the first Super Mario Kart until I got the WiiU, having been a big fan of those games, I was happy to finally play the first... And it wasn't as great as the others. It's still a good game, but I guess the later games were so much better that it's hard to rank it as one of the...

    Bring Your Own Can Night

    I think I might have figured out why Oscar was taking them out. A guide for episode 1541 was posted, saying that Buffy had spent the night in Oscar's can (without saying why), and episode 1564 mentions her going back home (and being transported by Bruno as well). So I guess she was visiting...
