    April Fools: Sesame Street Facebook offering fans to vote for the 50th anniversary

    Well, Sesame Workshop's official Facebook page is giving fans a chance to vote for a number of things for the shows upcoming 50th anniversary, much like they did for both the 40th anniversary DVD set and book as well as for the Best of Friends DVD. Sesame Workshop is letting fans vote for a...

    April Fools: New Muppets movie confirmed for Disneys streaming service.

    I had considered making my April Fools post about details of the upcoming (is it still only rumored?) Muppets streaming series.

    Old Nickelodeon

    Here's a promo that I've been looking for recently but had difficulty in finding, but thankfully I found it today in time for April Fools Day (and I saw that it's been online since 2014). It's funny that they say "but not on April Fools Day... just kidding", as it is in the spirit of the...

    Muppet Guys Talking: The Book coming in November

    I thought up this April Fools post a few weeks ago. I was actually thinking about making the post about a sequel to Muppet Guys Talking titled "More Muppet Guys Talking", which would have again featured Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, Bill Barretta, and Fran Brill, but also Steve Whitmire, Kevin Clash...

    Muppet Guys Talking: The Book coming in November

    It's just been announced on both the Muppet Guys Talking website, the Muppet Guys Talking Facebook and Twitter pages, and Frank Oz's Twitter that Muppet Guys Talking will now be a book coming this November, titled "Muppet Guys Talking: The Book". According to the site, "If you liked Muppet Guys...

    Little things we've noticed

    Well, Gina made her debut in season 19, and it featured David who left after season 20, so it'd have to be one of those two seasons. Not to mention a brief clip of Gina jumping with excitement in Hooper's store is in the opening montage in Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting. Man, David and...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Well, The Looney Tunes Show was a lot different from the classic shorts. I think the two were also paired a lot in the old comic books and various storybooks, but again, those tend to be different from the shorts. Especially the comic books, which changed a lot of things involving the...

    The "You know what?" thread

    People often say that the two don't really have any chemistry or are too similar in personality though Bugs is wackier/more interesting while Porky is more down-to-Earth. I often wonder why they had Porky as the hunter in A Corny Concerto as opposed to Elmer, I feel Porky could have been the...

    Little things we've noticed

    I always noticed they looked real in his first scene in A Muppet Family Christmas, but otherwise it took years for me to realize that they usually are real.

    The "You know what?" thread

    Disney and Warner Bros. both have duck characters - Donald and Daffy - who both have bad tempers, both have constant bad luck, both are second banana to the companies main stars (with Daffy, he's second banana to both Porky - who was the star when he was created, though it'd reverse after Porky...

    Little things we've noticed

    Out of all the Muppet movies (not counting Muppets from Space), The Great Muppet Caper and The Muppets Take Manhattan seem to have the longest gaps between musical numbers. The Great Muppet Caper doesn't have any songs between "Piggy's Fantasy" and the end credits, so almost the entire last...

    Questions about anything

    Last night I watched Spy Hard for the first time since 1999. And it was actually only the second time I've watched it all the way through (I've seen bits and pieces at times, and since I have a couple Weird Al Yankovic DVDs with the opening song, I hadn't felt a need to see the whole movie since...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I've never noticed many fictional bullies being fat. Of course in The Nostalgia Critic's review of Hocus Pocus, it's said that in real life those bullies would be the ones getting bullied, and I can't quite figure out why they would get picked on.

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I caught that show occasionally and noticed some similarities, mainly with a narrator, but didn't really care for that show. But then again, that was around the time that I was starting to care less for new Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon shows.

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Regardless of whether it's the same quality, dumbed down, better, whatever, it's still a bit odd. Many big franchises have had movies, specials, and so on, there have been many revivals in considerably different styles (for better or worse). Heck, it would have been great if, following the end...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I've been thinking about this quite a bit recently, but it seems like while the show was a big hit and has had merchandise and such, it seems like it's not that big, maybe even more underground than the Muppets (though maybe more "cult"). It seems the characters haven't really been in much else...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I feel like The Goldberg's is starting to get away from the 1980s. There was recently an episode called 1990-Something which was meant to be a backdoor pilot, and on last night's episode, Adam says that Dave Kim has Super Mario Bros., which came out in North America in 1990.

    Questions about anything

    Recently, I've watched the Lamb Chop's Play-Along theme online. I watched it in a video of a full episode and as a stand-alone clip, and noticed in both that there's a different bridge section with Shari Lewis sings encouraging people to do certain activities. In one she encourages the viewers...

    Questions about anything

    Can't decide if this is more appropriate here or on the "what's the deal with...?" thread, but tonight I was on Netflix, I searched a few names, and saw several titles listed, basically saying "search titles related to (insert actor or crew member here)". Including many titles that I definitely...

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

    Considering it was always produced by Sesame Workshop, I wonder how much video footage from Sesame Street the JHC Archives has copies of (it seems like they do have copies of a lot of guest appearances owned by other companies, so maybe they do have copies of the show). I'd be willing to bet...
