    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I saw that today. It actually looks like a cool release. Actually, most of this years releases have been rather great (I haven't purchased Sing It, Elmo!, but I would be interested in owning that one). So I guess it's really focused on magic, not so much on monsters. It's great to know that...

    Your Thoughts: Electric Mayhem at Outside Lands Music Festival Sunday August 7, 2016

    It was great. I really liked the drawings of the band that appear in the closing song. It was weird that, for the most part, Lips is absent from the video segments (he does pop up briefly in the "how we met" segment, but I feel he should have been in the van with the rest of the band). I...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I can't remember if I knew about that one or not. Your mention of it doesn't ring a bell, yet I feel slightly aware now (maybe I'm trying to be aware/remember if I knew).

    The "You know what?" thread

    I've recently noticed that in the 1970s it was very common for live-action television shows to get animated series based on them, and in the 1980s and 1990s, the animated television adaptions seemed to be replaced by animated shows based on live-action movies. And it seems like the animated...

    Questions about anything

    Does anybody happen to know why Saturday morning shows tend to get small seasons compared to prime time shows? It seems like the average Saturday morning show gets 13 episodes in its initial season, and less in later seasons (maybe 13 each year, maybe a little more each year). Is there an...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Wow, it's been a week and we still don't have any further info on the Monster Magic DVD. No info on what to expect in the main program (street stories? full episodes? a compilation? completely new material? A street story with additional linking material and inserts, like Elmo's Super Numbers...

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

    I want to ask the same thing about Snap Chat. From what I understand, people just post photos, and the photos get automatically deleted. Why post photos if they won't be seen for very long? The only logic I can think of would be so people can post photos that could make them look bad later but...

    Happy 30th anniversary, Follow That Bird

    I feel like Herry continued to be a major character throughout the 1980s and 1990s, despite barely appearing in either of the movies.

    Happy 30th anniversary, Follow That Bird

    I watched the movie the other night, and there's a few things I hadn't noticed before. For years, I thought Slimey wasn't in the movie, but as I watched the DVD the other night I saw that he does appear in the scene where Big Bird meets Miss Finch. He's in front of a box by Oscar's trash can...

    Sully After Richard Hunt

    Of course, the performers have often said that the personality is as important as the voice. There have been a lot of characters who were silent or didn't speak much who had consistent performers.

    Bob, Gordon, and Luis: FIRED!

    But Kevin Clash officially joined the show shortly after Captain Kangaroo was canceled.

    The "You know what?" thread

    One thing I recently realized is that Warner Bros. didn't make 100% original Looney Tunes television shows until just after Mel Blanc died. The first show, Tiny Toon Adventures, came out one year after Mel Blanc died. I know that in later years (and maybe even a long time before his "later...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I recently saw that the Love to Learn release will include five street stories, so that confirms that it won't be a release of full episodes. In October, there'll be a release called Monster Magic. Muppet Wiki doesn't have any info beyond the title and release date, but it sounds exciting. I...

    Where are the older humans?

    This is sad news. I am surprised that Loretta Long hasn't been specifically mentioned here, as she seems to have been making significantly less appearances since around season 30. I would have thought she'd be let go before Gordon, who I feel has been on the show a lot. Of course, I guess I...

    A Breakdown of the Series' Timeline

    You can choose how you want, or maybe you can lump certain eras into parts (like how some of us have included the first season as among the early years, but sort of made the first season a separate "part" regardless). With my breakdown of the series timeline, I've mostly focused on on-screen...

    The "You know what?" thread

    There's a couple of lines from Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day that I had been confused about for years, and a couple of nights ago I watched it for the first time in years and now it makes sense to me (there's been a lot of things over the years that I was confused about for many years...

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

    On the Toughpigs forum, somebody pointed out that this article referred to the Minimates line as having "Kermit as Constantine", as opposed to Constantine. http://www.artasylum.com/2016/07/new-in-previews-harley-quinn-doctor-strange-and-the-muppets/ Aww, and I was looking forward to having...
