    TV Alert: Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas on ABC Family December 12 and 13

    According to Muppet Wiki, "When the River Meets the Sea" was included after being cut in its first broadcast of this year. I guess if it's shown on ABC Family again it could be cut or not. Seems like a number of programs on ABC Family over the years have had scenes cut in some broadcasts that...

    TV Alert: Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas on ABC Family December 12 and 13

    That number was never actually shot. Only the audio was recorded.

    Chip's blinking pupils

    Anybody know if there's any special reason why Chip's pupils have a blinking effect? It is weird, and Chip is kind of a weird character (even more so on The Muppets, where he's finally given character development), but his appearance isn't too weird (could that be the point, one of the more...

    The Muppets Episode 9 - Going, Going, Gonzo

    This was a great episode. When the reports said that Animal and David Grohl would compete in a drum-off, I assumed that it would be a subplot, yet it turned out not to be. I expected the two to challenge each other in an early scene, and for it to be brought up a bit, maybe show Animal...

    TV Alert: AMC Muppet Movie Marathon December 11 and 22

    I don't know if this marathon is airing as a result of the new series or not, but lately I'd been thinking that Disney should air some Muppet marathons on its cable channels. Marathons of movies, specials, and The Muppet Show. And yet this isn't a Disney-owned channel, but great that they're...

    Questions about anything

    I can't remember if I've asked this here before or not, but on the show Soap, Peter Campbell was murdered by Chester Tate, which ended up being the result of a brain tumor (which, I think, also caused him to forget that he was the murderer until later), and it was said that he was no longer held...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    It seems like Schroeder is nice to him as well. Especially with Schroeder being the one to stand up for Charlie Brown in Be My Valentine Charlie Brown. Though I'm remembering a scene from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Can't remember if it's in the special, but my middle school library had...

    Top 9 TV Puppet Shows that Weren't Muppets

    Maybe the person doing this list (and I haven't read the article yet) never saw Time for Beany. I know four episodes were included on a Beany and Cecil DVD set, and I don't know if details on any additional episodes are known (I haven't found the others on YouTube, I feel like Wikipedia has a...

    Muppets in AMC's (the American Movie Channel) Programming Plans for this December

    I'm surprised that, considering VH1 had to pay for the rights, it's only airing once this month, and at 4am (well, I guess they need to fill the 1-7am schedule with something...).

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    I'm not as nostalgic for old school Cartoon Network as I am old school Nickelodeon, though I did watch it a lot when I first got the channel. Of course, I saw Cartoon Network closer to when it started than I did Nickelodeon (having missed out on 1980s Nick), and I was quite a bit older when I...

    The Chipmunks

    I saw a couple episodes of the new show recently. I saw one in which Dave wants to move, but the Chipmunks don't, and Dave informs them that they had all said things that made him think they wanted to, only for Alvin to reveal that he was using reverse psychology to keep him from getting in...

    Video: The Muppets "Single All The Way" Episode 10 Promo

    Looks like we'll finally be seeing the whole cast do a number on Miss Piggy's show. At first when i saw Behemoth, I thought that meant we'd finally, after about six episodes, see a character who hadn't been in a previous episode. But then I looked at Muppet Wiki and saw that he had been in a...

    Jim's Last Projects

    Would you say that Jim's last few Muppet projects, outside of JHH, were underwhelming (I'm referring to A Muppet Family Christmas, The Muppets at Walt Disney World, and Muppet Vision 3D)?

    11-18-1985: A day that changed Sesame Street Forever

    I've been meaning to do a fan fic showing how Olivia met Snuffy. I wonder whether there was a later episode showing her meeting Snuffy and none of us remember it (I doubt it). I think somebody said that she was bust with 227, but I think that show premiered a year or two later (and off topic...

    The Muppets Episode 9 - Going, Going, Gonzo

    It seems like all of the episodes where Lips has spoken were episodes that I suspected he would talk (I also suspected he'd talk in "Pig Out", but didn't). TO be fair, two of those three episodes are ones that I knew involved The Electric Mayhem. With "Hostile Makeover", I suspected he'd get a...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Good news: According to Muppet Wiki, the Transportation episode will be included as a bonus feature on the Elmo Wonders DVD. Soon all Elmo's World segments will have been released on DVD! And yet I get the feeling that we'll continue to get new Elmo's World DVDs every year...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    Considering the show will now be 30 minutes, it's probably best that the opening be shortened considerably to give us more material. I wonder if that closing song will appear during or before the closing credits. I didn't see credits when I watched the clip. It was said that there's going...

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    One thing I've been wondering, and am just now getting around to asking: Why does Pepe look tired when he sings "Love Shack"? He starts getting tired eyelids and keeps them until the next day, but it's only the second song (that we see). Does he get tired that easily? It's not like they'd had an...

    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Pitch Reel

    Previously, I was saying that I wished Lips was in this, and on the show, he is a part of the Electric Mayhem, but something occurred to me about his absense: Steve Whitmire had said that he was rebuilt for The Muppets, since the puppet finally broke during production of the "Jungle Boogie"...
