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

    In Back to the Future Part III, it's briefly shown that Buford Tannen had something against Seamus McFly, having previously told him not to come in the saloon. Now this is basically to repeat the scene from each film where a Marty hears a Tannen shouting "Hey, McFly!" only for it to turn out...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    It seems like practically every "main character" from this show was in every episode at first, and now with the last two episodes certain main characters aren't appearing in every episode.

    Emmett Otter and Bells of Fraggle Rock on ABC Family this year

    Here is an announcement which mentioned Kermit in Emmett Otter, though I'm not sure if it's copied from an official press release (I have seen these listed on ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas schedule posted on Facebook) or if the blogger wrote in the plot synopsis'...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Top ten song lyrics that I used to mishear: 10. from The Muppet Show Theme: "It's time to put on make-up, it's time to dress up right..." as "It's time to put on 'acob, it's time to dress up lights..." 9. from Think Before You Cheat: "Took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights..." as "took a...

    Emmett Otter and Bells of Fraggle Rock on ABC Family this year

    I found out today that Emmett Otter's Jug-Band Christmas and The Bells of Fraggle Rock will both be airing on ABC Family as part of the channel's "25 Days of Christmas" event. They will both air on December 12 and 13. It's interesting that ABC Family paid for the rights to broadcast these two...

    Video: The Muppets "The Ex-Factor" Episode 6 Promo

    I actually saw a promo for this episode somewhere before last Tuesdays episode. Only it focused on different clips - it seems to focus on a subplot where the guest star goes on the road with The Electric Mayhem. EDIT:

    The Muppets Episode 5 - Walk the Swine

    Aside from including elements of The Muppet Show Theme into this shows theme song (and appearances by a number of obscure characters, if that would count), has this show had any references for the die hard fans? I haven't really noticed any. One way that would have made for a good way to end...

    The Muppets Episode 5 - Walk the Swine

    So far this is one of my least-favorite episodes, along with Bear Left Then Bear Right (I guess there's something about episodes where most of the action focuses on single characters away from the show). After seeing the promos I wasn't expecting this one to be great. But not every episode of a...

    Video: The Muppets "Walk the Swine" Episode 5 Promo

    At the :33 mark, when Kermit has his hands together and makes that face, he looks like Constantine.

    Happy That Day from Back to the Future II!

    It's similar to what was mentioned in some of the DVD bonus features (and I think I heard that it was mentioned in the junior novelization), there it was said that Doc needed Marty to clean his garage, and he offered him 50 dollars and use of his music equipment (I think I've also read that he...

    Happy That Day from Back to the Future II!

    I was thinking about the scene where Doc and Marty see the cops taking away Jennifer, Doc tells Marty they can't clear things up with the cops, remarking "what do we do, tell them that we're time travelers? They'd have us committed." Now that is a good point, except that they do have proof of...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    I wonder what the ratings were like for Muppets Tonight when it aired on The Disney Channel. When Kirk Thatcher was interviewed for The Muppet Mindset, he said that when the show was on ABC, the head of the network was mainly interested in what shows attracted the 18-38-year-old male...

    May You Always

    I saw in a Muppet Show Fan Club newsletter that when Big Bird appeared on The Muppet Show, the Big Bird puppet was too fragile to go into air plane storage (not sure if it was just the plane used then or if it's all planes), so the top half of the costume had to have its own seat. I always...

    Happy That Day from Back to the Future II!

    No. There was The Wonder Years. There was also the short-lived Oliver Been.

    Happy That Day from Back to the Future II!

    I thought Everyone Hates Chris was the big 1980s show (after That '80s Show failed). I'm surprised that there still hasn't been a sitcom taking place in the 1990s. Seems like each decade now gets a successful sitcom two decades later. Then again, most of them begin in the late half of that...

    Happy That Day from Back to the Future II!

    We also still have to use our hands for a lot of things, meaning we all play with baby toys. Though ironically, some video game systems have motion control, meaning you can play some video games without using your hands. The movie incorrectly predicted that video games would lose popularity...
