One thing I've noticed from time to time when talking about The Bob Newhart Show and/or Newhart to older people who saw the shows when they were originally broadcast is that people tend to get the shows confused. Sometimes I'll talk about one of the shows, and they'll think I'm talking about the...

You know what would make for a good cover? Mahna Mahna and the Snowths doing "Hakuna Matatta". Maybe do the song to the tune of "Mahna Mahna".

There's one scene in Back to the Future Part II in which Doc runs into his past self. His past self asks Doc to hand him something, and Doc manages to correct him.... Does this have any change or affect on Marty's trip back to 1955? Is there any kind of difference I've overlooked between Marty...

I wonder what kind of spin-off it should be. Something like Play with Me Sesame? Something with all of the main Muppet characters? Something with just one or two or so characters? When I first heard about this, before I heard that HBO is desiring a Muppet spin-off, I wondered if it would have...

Today I was looking through the book Nick at Nite's Classic TV Companion. I noticed that it incorrectly referred to Welcome Back, Kotter as the channel's newest show, when The Munsters was it (the promo for Nick at Nite's 10th anniversary marathon referred to it as such, Kotter was in the...

I was watching some of the Henson Rarities upload of The Secrets of the Muppets, and noticed that it's a different edit from what I've seen over the years (the Nickelodeon edit, which is also on YouTube). This edit has fades to black in different spots (some of which I had suspected), and a few...

After looking at Cartoon Express on wikipedia, I saw that it actually did last a long time. From 1982-1996. Though it didn't have many original cartoons (which I barely remembered). But the majority of that block's time was before Nicktoons were introduced. Nickelodeon did air a lot of...

I didn't realse they were trying to make it like Muppet Babies then, those guys for a Long time (after the show's original run but before the introduction of Dil) I noticed quite a bit of similarities to Muppet Babies (like having fraternal twins, both shows have "cardboard box TV episodes" due...

Also, Emilio Degardo said on Facebook that he did not know about the HBO deal until the general public did.

I found the inside cover to Muppet Treasures, which says that Fozzie auditioned 53 times before he was hired. It's similar to the inside cover fact in Muppet Moments, where it says that Fozzie waited weeks before he could get an audition.

I just found this old promo about the early Nicktoons. I don't remember seeing it before (this would have aired just before if not at the time I had gotten cable). It provides a funny "take THAT" at USA's Cartoon Express. I had forgotten about that (how many people remember Cartoon...

Well, I assume this means more original street stories, as opposed to a season of mostly new street stories and a small portion of recycled street stories from two seasons ago. We wouldn't get two street stories per hour-long episode (back in the pre-2002 days, there were occasionally episodes...

That doesn't mean we'll get an answer.

One thing I've thought about: Sometimes, there'll be a major tragedy that inspires Sesame Workshop to do episodes to help the kids deal with those kinds of issues (whether it be 9/11 or a hurricane). I feel like maybe they should have made a deal where if there was a need to make such an episode...

I just realised something crucial I forgot to specifically mention: The yellow line they are following is a line made of light. Chapter 9 Rizzo the Rat and Uncle Deadly followed the yellow line, seeing a red line, a blue line, and a black line, then they finally found the green light...

Chapter 8 Uncle Deadly and Rizzo walked down a long hallway. "How much longer do we have to walk down this hallway?", asked Rizzo. "Until pigs fly", said Deadly. A herd of pigs then flew past them. "Okay, we go through that opening in the wall", said Deadly. The wall appeared to have no...

Does Sesamstraat have a similar format to the current American Sesame Street, or is it more like the pre-2002 format?

Oh, the way you said it ("they've only made three Muppet-centric number bits (not involving The Count)"), I thought you meant that there's only three Muppet number bits in widescreen and that The Count wasn't in any of them.

I didn't think they would give them up completely, just post less clips before they are broadcast. At least if Sesame Street is going to have first-run episodes on a channel other than PBS, it's a commercial-free channel (are the various preschool channels commercial-free?).

Actually, I have seen some number segments with The Count that were in widescreen. There's the one where Oscar tells The Count that the number of the day is zero, as well as the "By Five" song with Train. Not many, but it's some.
