    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    In the last day I thought of a Muppet fans fantasy that I often think about every once in awhile. Every once in awhile, I fantasize about going to a flea market and finding a special secret room selling every Muppet product ever made. My fantasy mind keeps it a little more realistic by limiting...

    Is there an overrated/underrated Muppet production?

    I was asking about any kind of Henson production.

    Questions about anything

    I always find it fascinating to hear about roles actors have taken that require three or more hours in the make-up chair, particularly when it looks like they're just wearing costumes (particularly masks). Especially when Mike Myers played The Cat in the Hat or when Jim Carrey played The Grinch...

    Was Jerry Nelson a PBS P-Pal?

    I'd say those bumpers are a bit obscure (I kind of feel like I saw them on TV, but forgot about them until seeing these clips), so it's forgivable that they wouldn't have talked about those in his obituaries. The obituaries didn't talk about every little obscure character he did, I don't think...

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

    With the Ghostbuster remake being out today, I must ask something I have had on my mind for about a month. Ghostbusters II begins with a "five years later..." text. Why open that way? It'd make sense if it was a scene at the end of the movie, or if it was a "five years ago..." flashback, but at...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    Well, the first season episodes would have had more repeats, while this one only aired on one day (I'd say it only aired once, except many markets aired episodes twice a day, I think it's usually the same one that aired twice, too soon to really get enough complaints about it scaring kids).

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Last night I dreamt I was at a relatives house, and they wanted me to watch a previously-viewed video they purchased from a video rental store in the 1980s. At first, it appeared to be a volume of the Looney Tunes Golden Jubilee video collection, one that doesn't exist (this one had multiple...

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

    In Beauty and the Beast, The Beast makes Maurice a prisoner just because he "trespassed" into his castle. Then Belle showed up in search of him, yet the Beast didn't consider locking her up for trespassing. She only becomes his prisoner when she offers to be one in place of her father. But why...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I got Elmo's Favorite Stories. When I heard it would have seven street stories, it made me curious as to whether it would just be street stories or if, like in many of the other videos made up primarily of street stories, there'd be some inserts in-between (we've gone from videos with three...

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

    One thing that struck me odd was that a year earlier, Steve Whitmire did an interview for Tough Pigs and said talked about how Disney considered alternate performers in 2005 and then quickly changed their minds, and yet they kind of changed their minds again in 2009. I've read that Steve was...

    Questions about anything

    I often hear that when writing a script, each page equals a minute. is this true, or is it just an estimate? Because I've done a number of YouTube videos where my script lasted just one page but the videos lasted more (or less) then a minute. For many of my videos, I often say things that were...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Yeah, I don't think Sesame Workshop was using Muppet Wiki back when the second Old School volume was released. For years I also compared it to the earmuff salesman segment, which is definitely from after season four (I've always assumed that the weather segment came first since Kermit says...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    These "Old School" clips have been referring to them by decade as opposed to year. I think Sesame Workshop is usually right when a date is applied to a clip, based on what I know. Timelines, Hulu, Old School DVD chapter stops, dates in the Sesame Street Unpaved special. But there are times...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    The main video image refers to it as "'80s Old School", so maybe it's season 21. Or it could be a little earlier. Of course Sesame Workshop has occasionally been incorrect with dates.

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    A few days ago I saw an episode of The Simpsons that featured Sammy Hagar as himself, and I've noticed that Sammy Hagar kind of looks like Lips. Especially on The Simpsons, where his skin is yellow (though it seems like the puppet is only yellow due to lighting, if the pics of the original...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    This song which appears in some of the Tweety cartoons, including "Room and Bird" and (though the lyrics are somewhat different there) "Tweet Tweet Tweety". Does anybody know the title of this cartoon?

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

    In the Family Guy episode "It's a Trap", when Carter is insulting Seth Green to make Chris angry, he asks if Seth Green was in anything successful. Chris mentions Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which Carter shoots down by saying that, despite what Entertainment Weekly said, it was not a success, but...

    Questions about anything

    I have a few things to ask about the Family Guy parody of Return of the Jedi. I might also have to ask something about it in the "what's the deal?" thread. Anyway, when Carter is insulting the work of Seth Green, he lists a few of Seth Green's less successful works, including "Greg the Bunny...
