    Last year, Rick Lyon said on Facebook that he performed Kermit in a foreign commercial, which I think is this one. Shortly afterwards he posted a photo of himself with Kermit in that outfit. He said that Jim Henson didn't perform Kermit in that because the vocals were going to be dubbed in...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Well, I got the Singing with the Stars 2 DVD today. I had actually forgotten that it was being released today but then saw it at the store and decided to pick it up. It is a good release. There's a lot of songs that I don't remember knowing about, I guess I've paid less attention to what's...

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

    What's the deal with the ending to The Buttercream Gang? The movie involves one member of the gang, Pete, having to move to Chicago, only to return after the experience had turned him bad. Everybody tries to get him to be good again, but eventualy he goes back to Chicago, and then after some...

    The "You know what?" thread

    So in Billy Madison, the title character had previously only graduated school because his father had paid all of his teachers to give him good grades. It's also clear that he doesn't have a drivers license, as he takes the bus to school and is never shown driving. So I guess his father...

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4705 - Having a Ball

    "Balls" was first, "Shoes" was second. Actually, for the first part of season 30, the exact same episode of Elmo's World would be shown in all five episodes of the week (they also did that with Blue's Clues at the time), I remember that eventually before the season ended they stopped that and...

    Frank Oz' Muppet documentary "Muppet Guys Talking" premiering at SXSW on March 12, 2017

    If this documentary was made (or at least started upon) back when Jerry Nelson was alive, then I'm very surprised that we hadn't known about its development sooner. Especially if it's premiering next month. Maybe if it was just a regular television documentary, but it seems like this is going to...

    Frank Oz' Muppet documentary "Muppet Guys Talking" premiering at SXSW on March 12, 2017

    The headline for the article mentioned five films to watch for. If the headline mentioned the Muppet documentary then I might have paid more attention to that.

    Frank Oz' Muppet documentary "Muppet Guys Talking" premiering at SXSW on March 12, 2017

    I didn't realize that the picture was from this documentary. The initial report involved multiple upcoming films, after all.

    Frank Oz' Muppet documentary "Muppet Guys Talking" premiering at SXSW on March 12, 2017

    I wonder which five it'll be, besides Frank Oz. I could see Dave Goelz and Steve Whitmire being involved. Maybe also Louise Gold and Kathryn Mullen. But I don't think it says they are all Muppet performers. It would be a surprise if John Lovelady was among them. I also wonder if this might be...

    Your Thoughts: "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story"

    I finally got a copy of the movie recently and have watched it. And it is a great documentary. That conflict stuff with Jon Stone is interesting. It's something I've thought about for years. It seems like there's hardly anybody involved with the show that he had issues with, the only other...

    Questions about anything

    Sometimes, a journalist or critic might "recant" opinions expressed in a past article, which means they take it back. But is "recanting" really good enough, especially if the public is aware of the original opinions? The original article might be a lot better known than the recant, after all.

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    Muppetzine thread

    I remember a long time ago on Muppet Wiki, the topic of which version of the Sesame Street 25th anniversary special came first - the home video version or the PBS version - we were talking about the fact that the video had a 1993 date though some pointed out that some videos are known to have...

    The Muppet Mindset

    Last week the Mindset posted its annual article asking for contributors. I decided to use that opportunity to ask in a Facebook comment that I had sent a lot of articles last year that have not been put on the website. Instead of an answer (whether it's a reply that the Mindset didn't get my...

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

    Okay, so just recently, I learned that George W. Bush won a Razzie Award for "worst actor" (or was it "worst supporting actor"?) for the movie Fahrenheit 9/11, but does he really qualify as an actor for that? As far as I know, all of the George W. Bush footage in that was taken from news...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Just after I posted this list, I thought that I should have included John Hurt, it would have been cool to see him interviewed by the Mindset or Tough Pigs, and then that night it was announced that he passed away.

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Top ten things about Dumb and Dumber that I either musunderstood or was confused about when I first saw it. Some of it I think I understood after a few viewings, while others took years for me to fully understand (some not until a few years ago). 10. Why Harry wouldn't stop the car when Lloyd...
