    Sesame Place Book

    This week Tough Pigs is having a series of articles about Sesame Place, some of them written by this books author! Now I wish there was a book on the history of Sesame Street Live. That show is just as old as Sesame Place.

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Moving to HBO sounds odd, because I don't associate it as a children's/family channel. The channel did broadcast Fraggle Rock during its original run, but has HBO had any other hit children's series? Does the channel currently have any shows for children (the press release mentions there will be...

    Chapter 7 "I'm the real Uncle Deadly", said one of the Uncle Deadly's (the one who showed up behind Rizzo). "No, I am the real Uncle Deadly", said the other one. "You were never the real Uncle Deadly", said the first one. "Okay, I'll ask a question only the real one would know"...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    I wonder if there'll be more DVD releases of full episodes now that it's going to always be a half-hour. In the past few years we've gotten DVD releases of two full hour-long episodes each, but now I wouldn't be surprised if there will be DVDs with four half-hour episodes (and I never wondered...

    Chapter 6 Rizzo followed Uncle Deadly into a nearby cave. "Now follow me", said Deadly. "I've already been doing that", said Rizzo. It was completely dark (except for maybe their eyes). "I can't see", said Rizzo. "I'll hold onto your hand until we get to the light", said Deadly...

    Chapter 5 Kermit and Gonzo were watching Rizzo in his hospital room. "Paging Dr. Henson, Dr. Oz, Dr. Nelson, to the emergency room....", said a voice on the intercom. "You know, Kermit, seeing Rizzo like that makes me want to reconsider my dangerous acts", said Gonzo, "but of course...

    Chapter 4 Back in the real world (outside of Rizzo's unconciousness), Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, and Pepe were all worrying about Rizzo. "What'll we do without Rizzo?", asked Gonzo. "We did plenty in our 2011 film", said Fozzie. "You did too much without me as well, okay", said Pepe...

    Questions about anything

    The answer is probably no, but does anybody know if the producers of The Brady Bunch Hour offered to have Robbie Risk reprise his role of Oliver? I'm guessing he wasn't offered, but you never know. In fact, I wonder if he would have reprised his role if he ever was offered to for any of the...

    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Pitch Reel

    Regarding Denise, I wish we could have had something at the beginning to establish them as a couple, as opposed to it being pointed out to Kermit later. Kermit casually greets Denise, I wish they would have instead came in to the meeting room together, or exchanged a kiss, or that Denise would...

    Chapter 3 Rizzo ran from the cats. "You can't catch me!", said Rizzo, turning his head back as he ran... and saw that the cats were gone. Rizzo stopped. "That's strange", said Rizzo, not noticing that the cats were now on the other side of Rizzo. Rizzo walked away right as one of...

    Chapter 2 Rizzo was rushed to a hospital. Several of his friends were there, even if they weren't exactly close. "Why am I here?", said Miss Piggy in the waiting room. "Well, Mr. Frog", said the doctor, "Rizzo is in a coma." "Will he be alright?", asked Kermit. "I have no way of...

    Chapter 1 Bunsen and Beaker were carrying Bunsen's latest invention out of the Muppet boarding house basement. "Ah, Beaker, we've done it again. Made another useful invention." "Mee", sighed Beaker, giving Bunsen a slightly disagreeable look. "This purple pool chemical will make...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Hmm... If it was supposed to be like Super Mario Bros. 2, wouldn't it have been great if it had more enemies from the game? I can't remember off-hand if it has anyone besides the Bob-Ombs, but it would have been great if it had featured the return of Mouser, Fry Guy, Triclyde, Clawgrip, Wart...

    Sesame Street Imagination

    Yes, they did air '70s segments in the early 2000s. I think it was the new format of 2002 that led to more infrequent airings of '70s segments, but they continued to be shown until at least 2005. King of 8 was featured in a season 36 episode, and at least one of the Pinball Number Count...

    The Countesses

    I thought I'd start a thread about the Countesses, female counterpartes to The Count. Most of them look very similar, being female versions of The Count, even having curly blonde hair (surely there could be other hair colors). I didn't know there were multiple Countesses until Sesame...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In Super Mario 3D World, for most of the game it's just four playable characters, but Rosalyna can be played once you beat one of the special levels that comes after the final boss.... Wouldn't it be great if the game had a few more additional secret characters? Maybe there could be a similar...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    I never thought of it as Miss Piggy being behind it. I thought it was Gonzo being weird/thinking that the show needed a real minister to play a minister (even if Gonzo was supposed to play him). Hmm, and until now, I never thought that maybe Miss Piggy told Gonzo to find a real minister. In...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    In the comic book adaptation, Gonzo is actually the one who brought in the minister. At one point when the Muppets are trying to cure Kermit's amnesia, Miss Piggy asks Gonzo if he found a doctor, Gonzo says "No, but I found a minister!"

    Video: Jungle Boogie with the Electric Mayhem

    We'd known about this for awhile, even if it took a few months to come out (and wasn't even announced in the announcement of there being new videos coming out). And tonight something hit me... I found that The Electric Mayhem now has an official Twitter account. Could it be that they decided to...
