The DVD release of The Cookie Thief includes a season 34 episode as a bonus, and The Spanish Word of the Day is also removed from that as well (could it be a Sprout copy?).

I read about that on the wiki. I wondered if maybe there was an issue with paying the people in the film, or maybe somebody who worked on that film segment. It's interesting that the packaging both refers to it as "first time on DVD" (I guess to please us fans who knew it was the only one not...

I knew this would be what it was. I considered doing an April Fools announcement for series 3 of the Muppets figure and Mini Mates lines (if I was a member during the heyday of the Palisades figures I would have done a Palisades announcement for April Fools Day).

I just found at the Muppets YouTube channel the first in a brand-new Muppet show called "The Muppets Show Online", which is very similar to The Muppet Show with some exceptions, such as only being 13 minutes, not having a guest star, and not having a big opening (we just see the title card with...

I've been looking at some old Billboard issues online and found an article from 1986 about the early Sesame Street video releases. Here's a link...

Since Animal is being released on his own, presumably so the drum set will fit in the packaging (will the drums be included with all releases of the figure, or just the "expanded accessories" version?), I wonder if Rowlf and Dr. Teeth will be released on their own so their big instruments will...

On Rugrats, Reptar was an obvious parody of Godzilla, but I wonder if maybe it was also in response to the popularity of Barney. It's probably more of a coincidence, as Barney and Friends premiered the same year as Rugrats (even though a few Barney video tapes had been released), but it is...

I dreamt that I saw some news report promoting Follow That Bird, with one of the people in charge of production complaining about executive meddling, claiming that either Warner Bros. or Sesame Workshop demanded rewrites, changing all the really good stuff in the script (considering how good the...

As pointed out on TV Tropes, the opening scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit is very detailed for an '80s cartoon, while the Toontown sequence is animated more like a regular cartoon. I've realized that that could be because the beginning scene is actually on a movie set, with props and stuff...

Back around 2001, there was a Muppet group picture from the 1970s that suddenly had Miss Piggy's head replaced with a more modern Piggy head, while the rest had the same heads as in the original photo.

While Miss Piggy was in the hospital, I wonder why the network refused to air a rerun. Watching that Veterinarian's Hospital sketch, it seems like the patient didn't know she was going to be in a sketch. Maybe I'm wrong and her reactions were just acting, but it seems odd they would just put...

I just finished watching the whole first season, and it was good. I recently saw an interview with Dave Coulier, where he mentioned that he appeared in three episodes. After seeing Joey's second appearance, I read the plot descriptions for all episodes I hadn't seen yet, and after seeing the...

A few weeks ago somebody drew my attention to this, a promotional video for Jim Henson Video. I wondered where this was from or shown (and just now I saw in the comments that it's from a demo release of The Muppet Movie). One thing I noticed is that it seems the majority of clips featured...

Many artists who Weird Al Yankovic has parodied songs from (okay, so Nirvanna is the only one I know of off-hand, but I thought I've read that others have felt this way) have stated that they realized they made it when Yankovic parodied one of their songs. But at the same time, Weird Al Yankoivc...

On the tvshowsondvd website, how come the page for news of new Looney Tunes DVDs is listed as "The Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes Comedy Hour", instead of just Looney Tunes? The Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes Comedy Hour only ran on TV (under that title) for one season, doesn't seem to be one of the more...

Me and my parents watched it throughout its run, and I know at least one other person who regularly watched it. But what I wonder is why so many seasons began in mid-season. But as much as I liked it, I haven't watched it very often since it ended.

So in last night's episode of The Big Bang Theory, Leonard, Sheldon, and Howard went to apply for a patent, but they contractually have to let the university they work for get 75% of the profits... And then it's revealed that Howard isn't entitled to any of the profits because his employment...

I don't understand why there was a "plus 1" (which got miswritten as "plus 11"). So obviously it was to get a lot more characters who have not yet been on the show, but was there a special reason why employees were allowed "plus 1"? We don't even know who was invited by who. I find it...

I was just starting to think maybe Peter Linz could perform them. But maybe I'm just thinking that because he doesn't have any characters except for Walter and Gloria Estefan (but of course Tyler Bunch doesn't have any main characters, either).

Back in the 1990s, Warner Bros. released a number of Looney Tunes laserdiscs, most of which were not on VHS. What's up with that? So maybe the fact that they had 14 cartoons per laserdisc, when Warner Bros. was only putting out 5 or 6 cartoons on each Looney Tunes VHS at the time (and the...
