    TV Alert: "In Their Own Words" Jim Henson Special on PBS Tuesday September 15, 2015

    Disney owns the Muppets (and The Muppet Show), Henson owns Henson's Place. Anyway, I feel like this documentary was sort of like a hybrid between the great Word of Jim Henson and the rushed CNN People Profiles special (to be fair, the CNN one is the only Jim Henson documentary that did not...

    ABC Orders Muppet Pilot To Series!

    After watching some of the sneek peeks, I feel like it'd be great if every cold open took place during a meeting (or, if there's no cold open, then start with the Muppets having a meeting).

    TV Alert: "In Their Own Words" Jim Henson Special on PBS Tuesday September 15, 2015

    In the end credits, it lists pretty much every production owned by Disney that gets a clip included, but it incorrectly lists Henson's Place among them. For years, I thought that credits for clips were to acknowledge the copyright owners/distributors, then I wondered if they were just...

    ABC Orders Muppet Pilot To Series!

    The show did have multiple celebrities. Usually only one was announced as a guest star (the only exception was the Coolio and Don Rickles one, and I've often questioned that), but very few episodes only had one celebrity (I was shocked when I first saw another human in an episode). Some episodes...

    Old Nickelodeon

    Been thinking a little bit about Doug. It seems like most of the Nicktoons had plenty of adult appeal. Some shows, like Ren and Stimpy and Rocko, were a bit more extreme when it comes to adult humor, while others had fairly subtle jokes or plotlines that would be a little more interesting to...

    TV Alert: "In Their Own Words" Jim Henson Special on PBS Tuesday September 15, 2015

    Actually, that was from the "Count on Elmo" DVD. Big Bird didn't appear at all in it, and Oscar was only in the "Count Tribute" street story.

    TV Alert: "In Their Own Words" Jim Henson Special on PBS Tuesday September 15, 2015

    It's available online at the PBS site now: http://video.pbs.org/video/2365557703/ Interestingly, it says that it expires on September 15, 2022. I wonder if that's an error, or if most programs available for streaming expire after so long. Seems like a long amount of time for it to be available...

    TV Alert: "In Their Own Words" Jim Henson Special on PBS Tuesday September 15, 2015

    I missed the special. Anybody know if this will go online soon?

    Old Nickelodeon

    Recently I've been thinking about the Doug episode "Doug's Bum Rap", and isn't it weird how at the beginning, Doug is sent to the principal's office because his test had the exact same answers as Chalky's, and Doug was told that they'd both have to re-take the test if neither of them confessed...

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

    So what's the deal with this recent internet meme that says "doesn't believe in (insert thing here), still does his/her job"? Is it a reference to something in the news?

    Jerry, Jim, Frank and Richard in season 12

    Something else that I wondered. There's a season 12 press release that refers to Ferlinghetti Donnizetti as a new character that season, and we still haven't seen any season 12 material with him. Kevin Clash performed him in most of his appearances we've seen, and for awhile there was some...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    I wonder what'll happen to the Two-Headed Monster. It wouldn't surprise me if Matt Vogel takes over, since he's so many characters Jerry Nelson originated.

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Was this among the episodes recently found online? Episodes from seasons 1, 10, 12, 20, and 22 have shown up, and like some of those episodes this one has a time code, but the description for this says it is from season 8. Anybody know which episode it's from? Considering how Snuffy sounds...

    Joey Mazzarino leaving Sesame Street

    "What's the Word on the Street" has been on the show for seven years, not just five, while Murray has been hosting for five years. I wonder if the hosting segments are being dropped, giving Murray less screen time (unless they start putting him in street scenes).* I also wonder if Joey Mazzarino...

    I recall Steve said they did another one with The Electric Mayhem, then checked with Debbie to make sure he could mention that.

    ABC Orders Muppet Pilot To Series!

    Maybe there should be a special thread dedicated to series spoilers, so if we want to talk about anything spoilery, we do so there, not here. And with the character and guest star in questions, they can give advice to a certain other relationship on the series. And I'm already thinking...

    DragonCon 2015

    This is the first I heard that the musicians who are still alive have to get paid (not their heirs?). Did she mean musicians who worked on the show (first time I've heard of such an issue for anything, aside from Huckleberry Hound), or the musicians associated with the songs (which is...

    ABC Orders Muppet Pilot To Series!

    I wanted to comment on something "spoilery", and tried to put the spoiler in white, but when I clicked "post reply", the spoiler wasn't hidden. Tried again in editing, couldn't get it to work, so I deleted that post. So... That character has a daughter? Though the line comes after mentioning...

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    Actually, they didn't get married. Jack wanted to marry her, but she didn't want to get married, because her parents ended up getting divorced (can't remember if there were any other divorces that unfluenced her decision), but wanted to live with Jack, which he settled for. I'm thinking that...
