    The Muppets Episode 2 - Hostile Makeover

    They could do an episode where the Electric Mayhem gets arrested and/or goes on trial (for non-drug-related reasons, maybe they could be wrongfully accused or framed).

    The Muppets Episode 2 - Hostile Makeover

    I wish that "better than the first episode" was one of the poll options. I thought this one was better than the first. So much clever-ness from Kermit. Wow, Lips doesn't sound too different from the Barnyard Boogie number, and in both this and that, I thought he sounded a bit like Dr...

    The Muppets Episode 2 - Hostile Makeover

    I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned in the reviews from Tough Pigs or The Muppet Mindset. I thought episodes would be available for free viewing the day after they were broadcast, but it's been a day and you have to sign in to view on ABC.com and Hulu.

    The Muppets Episode 2 - Hostile Makeover

    I haven't seen this one yet, but I already heard about Lips' line in the spoilers thread. As for whether the whole Electric Mayhem are stoners or just Zoot, I've often thought of them all as stoners, but thought of Zoot as being the biggest stoner of them all. Like, the rest smoke more or...

    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Pitch Reel

    Does anybody remember if the pilot was done before we knew more details of the show, like that Miss Piggy would be hosting the talk show? Because I wonder if it was shot before they decided on things like what show they'd be doing and who the host would be, or that Denise would be the head of...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    So did he sound the same as he did in the Barnyard Boogie number, or did he sound different?

    Old Nickelodeon

    I'd say that Nickelodeon aired more than just a handful of reruns of existing animated shows. There was also The Alvin Show, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Danger Mouse, Garfield and Friends, Bullwinkle, Under Dog, and there was a cartoon package called Cartoon Kablooey, which I believe showed old UPA...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    One image for the next episode has Lips dressed similar to Zoot, wearing shades and the same hat. It makes me wonder if that's addressed in the episode (whether it has to do with the plot or scene.... with one of the plots for the next episode being everyone being annoyed with Bobo selling...

    The Muppets Episode 1 - Pig Girls Don't Cry (Pilot)

    Been watching the show on ABC.com quite a bit, but today for the first time, I paused it to see something... And when paused, ABC.com replaces the image with a promotional shot. How dare they? Not sure if Hulu allows for pausing to see still images. Something that took me awhile to notice...

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

    In the past few (maybe a lot more than I think) years, there's been quite a few Mario toy collections. And I've noticed that a number of them have included Lakitu. And yet it seems like there haven't been any toys of Spinies. What gives? The Spinies should be as popular as Lakitu (considering...

    The Muppets Episode 1 - Pig Girls Don't Cry (Pilot)

    When I think of the fact that the break-up flashback appears as paparazzi footage, I keep thinking that this shows format would be a great opportunity to bring back Fleet Scribbler. He could be the one responsible for paparazzi footage that appears in ways that would otherwise be hard for the...

    The Muppets Episode 1 - Pig Girls Don't Cry (Pilot)

    I didn't feel that way. I wasn't expecting them all to get a lot of screen time. I don't expect every episode to have a "main" guest star, either. Maybe if the show showed more of the talk show than backstage/personal lives stuff. That was a gag in the pilot as well, she couldn't remember...

    The Muppets Episode 1 - Pig Girls Don't Cry (Pilot)

    And there was an interview where he said that he didn't want to make a PG-rated Muppet film. I wonder if he would feel the same way if he were alive when the last two movies were made.

    Henson Rarities on Youtube

    You've said a few times that your uploads that when you restored things with existing clips that you often replaced clips with better copies of the same clips from other sources. Does this also apply to when there are transitions to clips? Do you leave in those seconds or are you actually able...

    The Muppets Episode 1 - Pig Girls Don't Cry (Pilot)

    The movie didn't have any scenes inside a Doc Hopper restaurant. There was the scene where one was under construction, and we saw a commercial, but that's all we saw of his actual restaurants. The restaurants were the El Sleazo Cafe (where Fozzie made a "drinks on the house" gag) The Terrace...

    The Muppets Episode 1 - Pig Girls Don't Cry (Pilot)

    I'm confused. So you think there weren't enough familiar things, yet would have preferred they have new characters and only a few old characters? The Jim Henson Hour and Muppets Tonight both had a lot more new characters than old characters, and around here that seems to be one of the biggest...

    The Muppets Episode 1 - Pig Girls Don't Cry (Pilot)

    I didn't get to see the first episode until it came to ABC.Com and Hulu (watched it on both sites), and it was great. There's a few things I don't know what to make of, though: The fact that the crew is a mix of Muppets and humans. This is the first time that a Muppet show had humans working...

    Henson Rarities on Youtube

    For years, I figured any edits Nickelodeon made to Secrets of the Muppets carried over into broadcasts on other channels (with Odyssey being the only other one), it didn't occur to me that the Nick version wouldn't be the master version used (though Henson has made new master tapes from edited...

    Questions about anything

    There's an SNL sketch in a home video compilation spotlighting game show sketches that is cut off before it ends. Don't know why, but before the sketch is over, it suddenly cuts to another sketch. The sketch is titled "Dork, Geek, or Spaz", and has contestants guessing whether panelists...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    "Eye in the Sky" by The Alan Parsons Project. Listening to it, I feel like it sounds similar to a number of other great songs, like the theme from Greatest American Hero and "Somebody's Baby".
