Looking at the description for Love to Learn again, I've noticed that both of the street stories mentioned have been released on DVD already. I also saw that "Love to Learn" is a new initiative from Sesame Street.

Beard Performed by Jerry Nelson First Appearance: The Jim Henson Hour episode 103: Power, 1989 Most-Recent Appearance: The Jim Henson Hour episode 110: Secrets of the Muppets, 1989 (broadcast 1992) Best-Known Role: Guitar player for Solid Foam. Who is Beard?: Beard is the...

Something I hadn't thought about, but could it maybe be a television series, but more of a spin-off, much like many of the Looney Tunes shows (such as Taz-Mania and The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries)? For years I've thought it'd be cool if they did a Muppet show like this, with a supporting...

Kirk Thatcher just said a little more about this, confirming that it's not really a "giant new Muppet show". https://twitter.com/KirkThatcher/status/745471848121458688

So much to be excited about and to question! So is the Series 3 line-up recently announced for the Minimates the full line-up? Counting exclusives (and variants), series 1 had 12 figures while series 2 had 13, and so far only 8 have been announced. I do think it's a little weird that they're...

Would a Henson/Muppet professional refer to a Henson Company show as a Muppet show? I'd think they would know better.

It's interesting that he even specifically said he was working on a new series, since he couldn't say anything about it yet. He could have just said he was working on something Muppet-related. I would think that specifying that it's a series (or a special, or a movie, or a web short) would be...

In the last couple of years I have been on the site a lot less in favor of watching the clips on YouTube. I hadn't really liked what'd been done in recent years in regards to how clips automatically play after a clip is shown. In the past, when fans could watch "related clips" with what they...

It's come to my attention that the video clips have been replaced with different-quality clips, but unfortunately, a large portion of clips have been removed, including the majority of classic clips. I'm hoping that this is temporary, but only time will tell. If the removal of the clips is...

Interesting that it's announced so soon after the show has been canceled. Then again, he didn't say it was a television series. It could be a new series of short viral videos, or maybe a Netflix (or Hulu, or other video website) series.

Yesterday, I read that Warner Bros. celebrated its 75th anniversary in 1997, and that's the same year when Warner Bros. merged with Turner Entertainment and, as a result, re-acquired it's film library that was sold in 1959. It's like it's the perfect anniversary present. Makes me wonder if...

In the near future there's going to be a special Muppet Fan Week. https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2016/06/15/coming-soon-fan-week/

TR Best-Known Role: Banjo-playing rooster. Performed by: Jerry Nelson. First Appearance: The Muppet Musicians of Bremen, 1972. Most-Recent Appearance: The Muppet Show episode 524: Roger Moore, 1981. TR Stands For: Terrified rooster, tender rooster, traveling rooster. Who is TR?: TR is one...

The story was in the public domain, but the adaptation can have original elements which can't easily be used in other adaptations. Many of the original elements in the 1939 film (like how the Witch looks, the songs, ruby slippers instead of red slippers, there only being one good witch) just...

Actually, Warner Bros. has owned the rights to the film since 1997. And Warner Home Video has the video rights to Sesame Street, so I imagine that would make it easier to clear. They'd probably still have to deal with Margret Hamilton's estate over royalties, though. I wonder if there would...

Additionally, the very first volume of the very first Looney Tunes home video collection, The Looney Tunes Video Show #1, opened with the very first Tasmanian Devil short, Devil May Hare. And when the three volumes of The Looney Tunes Video Show were reissued (and made available for sale as...

I've been watching quite a bit of Animaniacs lately, and does anybody know why the newsreel segment that explains the characters' backstory was reused so much? I don't think any other segments were repeated in multiple episodes (I did see two episodes with a parody of the "CBS Special...

With Bugs Bunny being the Looney Tunes character we all associate as the star (though there are many characters with their own situations, many of whom weren't associated with Bugs), I find it hard to think of this as a spin-off. Even with it just starring Bugs Bunny, he does have a fairly large...

This September will see a release called "Love to Learn". I'm not sure whether this will be a release of two full episodes (the description at Muppet Wiki only describes two street stories, so it could be that) or multiple street stories. Considering it's title, it seems like it'd be hard to...

Did they sell video game controllers on their own back then? I've been wondering that, I don't remember knowing about video game controllers being sold on their own as well as with systems until the N64 era. I don't remember seeing controllers sold on their own in stores, I feel like that's...
