    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    I've noticed that on the new show, there seems to be a small group of characters used (even if it's a big small group). In nearly every episode (until the last two, which have had certain major characters absent), the characters seen in practically every episode are Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie...

    Am I the only one who hates what they've done to the Fozzie puppet?

    I thought it was just the last two movies that hadn't had much Rizzo, with him being a lot more prominent in other recent productions. He is seen quite a bit on the new show, in addition to them making Yolanda a major character. Though I don't recall seeing other rats on the show yet (and it...

    TV Tropes

    Looking at the "First Installment Wins" page, I realize that I've missed the point of that one (wouldn't be the first time I missed the point of a trope page). I thought that was for works where the first one is the one that fans generally consider the best (and it listed works where I was...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I first heard of Roger Ramjet when I looked in a 1995 Video Movie Guide which had an entry on video releases of the series. Usually when I think of the title Roger Ramjet, I think Roger Rabbit. Interestingly, in that video guide, it said that Ken Snyder was involved in it before being involved...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I've seen a number of websites point out that in Back to the Future Part II, in the alternate 1985, it's mentioned that Uncle Joey is still in jail like in the original timeline. However, it's never mentioned in the other alternate 1985 (the one that came after Marty time traveled), nor in 2015...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    And I've read that they cut out "Happy Birthday" from video releases of the "Birthdays" episode, so it's not like they're against cutting content from Elmo's World.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    The next Sesame Street DVD is... UGH!!.... Another Elmo's World one. I was hopeful that they were finally done (just release annual Elmo the Musical ones instead!). But the next one is "Elmo's World: Elmo Wonders". On the upside, it'll include Ernie's song "I Wonder" as a bonus feature...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    I've noticed that we've mainly seen the same characters in nearly every episode. But then something hit me about this the other day: Nearly everybody wears a different outfit each day, instead of wearing the same thing all the time (except for when wearing a different outfit would be...

    "The Muppets" show runner exits, series to be relaunched February 2 with episodes 11-16

    Seems like Sam is more fair in his censorship than I had expected. I expected him to be so strict that they'd struggle to keep the show on long enough for a half-hour.

    The "You know what?" thread

    So presenting episodes in broadcast order is a bad thing? I prefer broadcast order. That's the order Muppet Wiki uses for most of its episode guides (though Henson seems to use production order, though for the most part the Fraggle Rock DVDs are in broadcast order). There are some cases where...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In The Weird Al Show episode "The Competition", the award for best children's show host ends up going to Fred Huggins, who is said to have been the only one who played fair. It's supposed to imply that that's why he won, but they never specifically say that that's why he won. The host says that...

    "The Muppets" show runner exits, series to be relaunched February 2 with episodes 11-16

    It will be interesting to see what changes are made. I know that a lot of fans have complained about the more adult content as well as how mean the characters are (though I think the mean-ness dropped considerably after the first episode), maybe that will be toned down. I'm hoping that we now...

    Henson Rarities on Youtube

    Something I must say about the TNT promo I linked in my previous post: Before seeing that, I mistakenly thought that Fraggle Rock was called "Fraggle Rock's" (and I thought they were called "Fraggle Rock's" instead of "Fraggles"). Seeing that promo set me straight. But then I thought that the...

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

    I've been seeing ads for Me-TV broadcasting the finale episode of M*A*S*H, where it's said that it's rarely been rebroadcast. Really? It may be two and a half hours long (and did it really warrant a finale that long? An hour, sure, 90 minutes, maybe, but two and a half hours???), but couldn't...

    Sesame Street comics coming fall 2012 from Ape Entertainment

    Compared to The Muppet Show Comic Books, this one feels a bit short. Of course that's not a bad thing, and we probably shouldn't be expecting each issue to be as long as the standard issue of The Muppet Show Comic Book or any other comic book series.

    Question about Playhouse Videos' Back Covers

    Thank you. It's good to see all these. Wow, so the fact inside The Muppet Revue was about The Swedish Chef? That seems to be the only fact that doesn't concern one of the videos hosts (while Muppet Treasures and Muppet Moments both have facts about Fozzie's first audition), though I haven't...

    Sesame Street comics coming fall 2012 from Ape Entertainment

    Tough Pigs reviewed it yesterday. http://www.toughpigs.com/review-sesame-street-another-sunny-day/ I also found a copy yesterday. I haven't read the whole thing yet, but what I have read so far is good. Near the end, there's an ad for the comic, which shows covers for the upcoming issues. One...

    Question about Playhouse Videos' Back Covers

    I've found the back cover for Muppet Treasures. The images are: Fozzie with Punch and Judy puppets (from the linking footage? is this the only video where the back cover has a linking footage image?), The Newsman at his desk, and the Walrus from "Lullaby of Broadway". I kind of suspected...

    Henson Rarities on Youtube

    My grandparents used to have a tape of TNT programming which included this commercial that I'm happy to see again (in fact, I was just thinking about this commercial a few days ago). I don't remember the mention of the TNT Family Movie (only Fraggles, Looney Tunes, and Popeye). I...
