One thing I've been curious about is, before this was even shot, how close were Frank Oz and Bill Barretta? I've heard about Frank referring to Bill as "the new guy", but it seems they didn't work together on many projects. Most of the major productions the two worked on (Muppet Treasure Island...

A lot of fictional dinosaur characters are green. Earl, Fran, Robbie, and Charlene Sinclair. Godzilla (I think... haven't seen any Godzilla things in a long time, but I think he's green and not a different dark color). Baby Bop. Ducky and Spike from The Land Before Time. Pterri from Pee-wee's...

I saw a comment somewhere on Facebook that Steve Whitmire is not mentioned in the documentary, which if true is kinda sad. But considering they cut nine hours down to just 65 minutes, there's surely a lot of important stuff discussed that don't show up in the final cut (I guess we'll find out...

I haven't purchased it yet. Anybody know if you have to use a credit card to purchase the download or if you can use a debit card or prepaid credit card? I don't mind paying, though I'd really rather pay if it was a DVD/Blu-ray, movie ticket, or iTunes download. Also, anyone know if you can...

I think this is the original theatrical trailer for The Muppets Take Manhattan, though it appears to be in fullframe instead of widescreen (would a theatrical trailer be in fullframe?), and it seems the person who uploaded it added in the Jim Henson Pictures logo (which didn't exist at the time...

I wonder if that phone "breaking up" when "the camel" is asked about was planned by Oz and Tough Pigs before the interview (as in, they expected that to happen) or if that's his way of avoiding things he doesn't want to talk about (maybe the documentary sheds some light on that, Tough Pigs...

The four surviving performers from the documentary have been having video chat conversations recorded and put online, and I've thought of two things that would have made for great opportunities with this: 1. Talk about productions that have come out since the film was made (since they clearly...

This week the website is having coverage on Muppet Guys Talking, including an interview with Frank Oz (which isn't on the site yet, but a different interview with Mr. Oz is on Tough Pigs now).

Among the bonus features in the first Back to the Future DVD set is a list of frequently asked questions, with one being "if Griff is Biff's grandson, why don't we meet his son?", with the response "since we never learn Griff's last name, how do you know Griff's mother wasn't Biff's daughter?"...

Wow, I've had "Right Where I Belong" on my mind quite a bit lately, because I got a few more things I've noticed.... Kermit sings the song in the dressing room right before they go on stage and sing it, but by then there's a bit of a change in the lyrics. There's an entire verse changed. In...

A running gag in The Muppets Take Manhattan is that Kermit would describe Manhattan Melodies and start breaking into the opening song before getting interrupted, the first time Janice is there to provide a guitar riff, making it sound a little more like a ragtime song, as Kermit sings "Look at...

In UHF, RJ Fletcher tries to sabotage George's telethon to raise money to save the station by kidnapping Stanley Spadowsi. But since Stanley was responsible for the station finally getting decent ratings and saving the station before, did it ever occur to RJ to maybe make him an offer to host a...

Another clip with Oscar and Bruno that I wonder about in terms of whether it's an insert or part of a street story is one that was available at sesamestreet.org, it doesn't seem to be there anymore (and I haven't seen it on YouTube), listed as "Everybody Knocks", where Oscar had several trash...

The two Sesame Street disco albums have songs that seem to be their theme for the album. Sesame Fever has the self-titled Sesame Street Fever.... And Sesame Disco has The Happiest Street in the World.... Though in the latters case, The Happiest Street in the World is not the opening...

Something else I find interesting about It's Pat. In the last year, I've seen some people say, in video reviews of the film and on the TV Tropes YMMV page, that while Pat looks androgynous Chris looks more like a trans-gendered person than someone whose gender is hard to determine. And yet I...

You can add him to a long list of celebrities who I thought was already dead a long time ago. I also didn't know he was in Lilo and Stitch (though I also haven't seen that film). M*A*S*H is a show I kinda find overrated, and I like the early seasons a lot better than the later ones (which are...

I was talking a little about this in the "you know what...?" thread, but after somebody suggested there be a medley of Sesame Street songs with a title like "Evolution of Sesame Street", I've been thinking that would be a good title for an anniversary special, documentary, DVD, or whatever. I'd...

For a long time, I have wondered if this was a stand-alone segment or part of an episodes plot (and I've seen somebody point out that the clip is too out of context to just be a stand-alone sketch), but as I was watching the behind-the-scenes footage, I found that I'm so close and yet so far...

Looking at the list of known taping dates, I see that I've been wrong all these years about the Kermit and Elmo segments on Happy and Sad and Loud and Quiet being taped on the same day, I guess they just used the same characters and background (I wonder if Elmo's appearance on Sesame Street News...

Seems there's been quite a few episodes in recent years about characters meeting new friends. That would make a good concept for a DVD release - it could include this episode plus the introductions of Julia and Rudy, maybe also the introductions of Chris and Leela. Then again, this season...
