I've been watching this Nintendo retailer training video from 1991... And at one point, we see a mother returning a NES because she thinks the controller won't work, only for it to turn out that her son put the controller into the wrong port. And this gets me thinking, if the controllers...

The first season - or at least part of it - has been on DVD for a few weeks now. I'm surprised that it's "season one, part one", and there's 26 episodes on the set (counting entire half-hours as episodes, as opposed to each short segment). I'm surprised to see that the shows first season has...

Let's try a couple more! Fred the Wonder Horse Best-known role: Marshall Grover's horse. Performed by: Jerry Nelson. First Appearance: Sesame Street, circa season 6, 1974-1975. Most-Recent Appearance: Sesame Street season 40, 2009-2010. Who is Fred the Wonder Horse?: Fred...

I think I remember seeing one episode where Catdog goes into a bathroom, but we don't see how they use the toilet. What Goofy cartoons would be considered the most essential, signature ones? I can think of signature cartoons for other characters - for Mickey, I'd say the essential ones are...

I saw that The Newsman will be part of series 3.

Previously I asked about who would come with the tuxedo Kermit (especially since there's 13 figures while the figures come in two packs, and 13 is not dividable by 2), and was confused by the answer given. Now that I read this blog, it makes some sense. So some characters are paired with...

Wow, I decided to do this last month to fill the void of The Muppet Mindset no longer having Weekly Muppet Wednesday, and yet I kept forgetting to do more. Well I'll fix that... Denise Best-Known Role: Kermit's (ex)girlfriend, employee at the network. Performer: Juliane Buescher First...

Vienna by Billy Joel.

While it's widely sourced that Frank Oz mainly looped his characters voices in Muppet Treasure Island and Muppets from Space, Eric didn't do the puppetry (I don't think he performed in either). Kevin Clash did most of the physical puppeteering of Frank's characters in MTI, and in MFS, the...

There's a few videos with Sesame Street characters promoting the channel. Grover: Oscar: (I think he's performed by Eric Jacobson here - I didn't think that until I was watching and thought something about Oscar's voice sounded a little less gruff, but then I saw YouTube comments that say...

I dreamt that I went to my room and suddenly, I had a lot of Muppet merchandise that I didn't have before. Palisades figures that I don't have, the playsets I didn't bother to get (and in their original unopened packaging... and was also given a Palisades Stage Playset), several Muppet plush...

"As the World Falls Down" from Labyrinth. Interestingly, for a long time, I found the ballroom sequence to be one of the most boring/least interesting parts of the movie. And for a long time, I couldn't remember if that scene had a song or just instrumental music. I would watch the scene and...

Top ten lines from the Rocky and Bullwinkle storyline "Rue Britannia". 10. (after Rocky and Boris find that Bullwinkle did not die in the operating room after all) Rocky: (happy that he's alive) Bullwinkle! Boris: (shocked that he's alive) Moose! Bullwinkle: There's a J in there, Bullwinkle...

Top ten lines from the Rocky and Bullwinkle storyline "The Treasure of Monte Zoom" (spoiler alert, particularly at quote #6). 10. (after finding out that the treasure is just an old car) Rocky: I must say, I'm disappointed. Bullwinkle: Well go ahead then. Rocky: What? Bullwinkle: Say it...

On a similar question, I must ask, are the Minions from Despicable Me overrated? I really can't decide. I didn't think they deserved their own movie (which did end up being a decent film), and they make up the majority of Despicable Me merchandise (have there been any toys of the girls?). It...

Top ten gags/backfired traps from Road Runner cartoons. 10. The "Chinese Road Runner" appearance (I keep forgetting which one this is from) 9. Tornado pills (I keep forgetting which one this is from) 8. Wile E. dresses as a female Road Runner and gets chased by several coyotes (Ready, Set...

Maybe I've asked before, but what's the deal with Facebook posts that say "if you remember this, your childhood was awesome", particularly when it's something that isn't really from that long ago and was really popular for years? Even more "what's the deal..." are posts like "You're a '90s baby...

In the last few days I've seen posts that say that the show was originally offered to Netflix. When was this announced? I don't remember hearing about it (officially or rumor-wise) when the show was originally announced. And the only places I've seen this fact mentioned have been The Muppet...

I've been thinking about the two Dinosaurs clip shows, as well as the fact that Dinosaurs was such an expensive show to produce, and suddenly I wonder if those clip shows were made as a way of saving money. After all, none of the Dinosaurs characters appeared in the linking footage, just live...
