    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    The next video is Singing with the Stars 2, coming February 7. So far, all of the announced songs seem to be from the HD-era. I noticed one of the songs is "Believe in Yourself", the version with Michael Buble. After seeing recent posts about how HBO has been removing/replacing a lot of Joe...

    Questions about anything

    I want to say Ron Howard. I'm pretty sure both Andy Griffin and Happy Days had more than 100 episodes, and Ron Howard left after 100 episodes, but did Opie appear in 100 episodes of The Andy Griffin Show? I know that not every main character appeared in every episode. If Matlock had 100...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Today I found this, and can anybody tell me whether this actually aired on the show as it's featured or if it's a fan edit/YouTube poop?

    Muppetzine thread

    I remember when Muppet Central had some of the articles reprinted, one that stuck out was "Weird Muppet Moments in History". And I only thought that the first few were really weird (though now I take back the one with Rowlf campaigning for president, it's funny but I don't know if it's weird...

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

    So in the Family Guy episode "Herpe the Love Sore", Brian tells Stewie that herpes will really only burn up during moments of intense stress. So having herpes isn't intensely stressful enough to burn up all the time?

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

    So in the I Love Lucy episode "Job Switching", the husbands start doing housework while the wives go out to get jobs. So in doing this, do Ricky and Fred still have their jobs? After all, Rickey ran a nightclub (and did he have his own television show?), was he going to give up running the...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Well, at the time, Mulch had pretty much stopped appearing in new productions, while Van Neuter was still around as a solo character (though his last appearance came before the figure did), while Johnny Fiama and Sal were still actively appearing in new productions, neither splitting up. Though...

    Old Nick Appreciation Thread

    I just remembered something Nickelodeon did during the 1992 election (has the channel done it for every election since?). They had a "Kids Pick the President" where kids could call and say who they vote for. But what was the point? Just to show who would win if kids voted (as I recall...

    The Nicktoon Thread

    One thing I've noticed about Hey Arnold (which I had thought about putting in the "you know what?" thread): The show has two different characters named Robert who were never referred to directly by name. One Robert was a blonde boy with glasses and a green shirt. The only time his name was...

    The BS of the MPAA

    I just saw recently that the next Nostalgia Critic Editorial will be about whether the PG rating means anything anymore. So what would be wrong with Casey Jones?

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    He was. When it comes to figures branded for a movie when the characters were already around, Lips was the only one to be branded from a movie whilethe figure itself didn't have anything related to that movie and could have been branded as from The Muppet Show. I often thought that Lips should...

    Muppetzine thread

    I put this in general discussion because I wasn't sure which of the Muppet folders it belongs in. But a couple of weeks ago, Tough Pigs posted scans from every issue of Muppetzine. It's a fun read. http://www.toughpigs.com/muppetzine/ I didn't know about it until I got the internet in 1996...

    Little things we've noticed

    I remember one time in school, one of my classmates said he had to take his uncle to school, and we all (including the teacher) laughed. And we laughed harder when he said that his uncle was, I think, in the first grade. My teacher actually asked him how it was possible, and the student said...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    It was common knowledge that the naked versions of those two were originally planned to come out first, but then it was decided to have variants of those two (as well as Stunt Gonzo and Frog Scout Robin) before the standard versions to help the line last longer, to prevent series of only...

    Elmo was also at the day care in a song called T Dance, which appears in the home video Do the Alphabet.

    HBO is editing modern Sesame Street episodes

    One thing I thought about is that those segments have ending music. I wonder if Joe Raposo wrote the music at the end of those (and how many non-music segments - meaning segments that weren't primarily musical - feature underscores by Raposo?). Of course I think the music could have easily been...

    Your Muppet mistakes

    When I first heard of Muppetzine when I first got the internet back in 1996, I thought it was an official Henson Company-produced/approved Muppet magazine. I didn't realize it was just made by fans with no involvement in the company (though official people did do interviews and correspond with...

    Positive and Negative: Elmo In Grouchland

    One thing I've always found odd about the Bert and Ernie scenes, which I recently saw brought up at Tough Pigs, was that Bert is the one who overreacts when things get too unsettling and Ernie is the one who calms him down and reassures him that things will be fine. Shouldn't it have been the...

    Rare interview with Jeff Moss from 1994

    I feel like he and Joe Raposo were the two most prominent songwriters for the shows early years.
