Of course, the Fraggles didn't know that radishes were the main ingrediant for Doozer sticks (this episode was the first time it was mentioned, and the Fraggles still wouldn't know until three episodes before the show ended) or why the Gorgs needed radishes (and this is the only episode to show...

A while ago, I saw on Muppet Wiki that there's no evidence of The Jim Henson Hour airing in England, though some pages say that Living with Dinosaurs (with JHH intros) and Food/The Three Ravens aired there, and that part of the confusion comes from the fact that Living with Dinosaurs, along with...

I know I'm bumping an old thread, but after seeing all the episodes, I've noticed that, while a lot of monitor footage could have easily just been the performers playing with the puppets, there's also a lot that seem to be a bit planned. Like one episode (I think "Power") that showed a monitor...

There's a lot of pilots that either never aired (the Three's Company pilots, the Sesame Street test pilots, Rugrats) or aired later in broadcast order (The Jim Henson Hour, The Bob Newhart Show, Fraggle Rock, Doug).

I still think it's kind of odd that in The Great Radish Famine she's so concerned about the conflict between the three species, without really thinking of the consequences (even if it is part of the point). She does seem to have the kind of knowledge that the others don't have, particularly with...

Lately I've been thinking about "The Great Radish Famine", where Marjourie the Trash Heap magically takes away the radishes because the Fraggles, Gorgs, and Doozers are all in conflict with each other (never mind the fact that the Gorgs and Doozers hadn't been aware of each other before this...

After watching the last few "Bear-ly Funny Fridays", "i've noticed that the on-screen title card reads "Jokes! with Fozzie", while the videos are listed as "Fozzie's Bear-ly Funny Fridays". I wonder which title should be used for the Muppet Wiki article.

I found a documentary from 1990 that I'm not sure whether I knew about it. It's an episode of the series Learning Matters. Interestingly, there's a lot of first season focus, including a section on why Buddy and Jim, Professor Hastings, and Roosevelt Franklin were dropped. We already knew...

Beauregard appears in today's episode: I just realized that Muppet Wiki doesn't have a page for Fozzie's Bear-ly Funny Fridays.

Hopefully it can be on DVD, though it would be shocking if something cleared for DVD couldn't be cleared for television broadcast, it's not often you hear about something like that (though I have read that all the music cleared for the DVD releases of WKRP in Cincinnati were only cleared for the...

Recently I watched Harriet the Spy for the first time in a long time (and I had previously only seen the movie once, back in 1997), and maybe I missed something, but what's the deal with Sport paying his fathers bills? I know that his father was an out-of-work writer who was having writers...

I wonder if there's a trope, or should be one, for show titles that get shortened by fans. Could be trivia, maybe YMMV. I know there's tropes like "Fan Nickname" (which I guess would be closer, I haven't looked at that trope in awhile, can't remember if it actually exists or if I'm...

I've always noticed that on Newhart the closing would alternate between a shot of the Inn with and a shot without snow, but after watching several episodes recently, I just now noticed that, with or without snow, there's other shots of the Inn used in the credits, showing different angles...

In the last few days I've wondered, in the pilot, is the TV show that Kermit tells the gang about (as well as the one that they need Miss Piggy for) supposed to be this new television series or is it the show-within-a-show? It's been said in press releases that in the pilot the network would...

It had already been announced awhile ago that they would be in scale with 7" figures from Diamond. Meaning that most would be smaller than 7", but any celebrity figures released by Diamond could be used as guest stars for the Muppets and be in scale.

I haven't gotten around to watching the whole Comic Con presentation, but early on, Bill Prady says that they can't legally broadcast the first episode and although they screened it at Comic Con claimed that they couldn't even legally show it there (though they did), claiming that the Comic Con...

I'd like to see a gag where they're supposed to do the song, but then one of them (whether in cut-away or not) remarks that they're tired of always doing that song. It would be the first time since the "string quartet" sketch on The Ed Sullivan Show (and the Canteen commercial) that Mahna Mahna...

First time I saw a picture of that "Snitch Whistle" monster, it looked to me like his head and body were the same, with his face over his body and arms coming out the ears or whatever. I wonder if that's the only time a live-hand Anything Muppet was made into a monster.

Something that I didn't think about regarding the release of the Count on Elmo release: This came out on the same week as Jerry Nelson's birthday. I wonder if it was planned that way or a coincidence. Interestingly, the Count montage at the beginning includes a few celebrities, none of which...

The wedding was part of a musical, even if the minister was real. But since the movie came out, Kermit and Piggy had disagreements over whether it was real or not, with Kermit stating that it was just a movie. But I wonder if Miss Piggy will finally admit to that here.
