    The Bob Newhart Thread

    Lately I've been thinking about how Bob Newhart will often say that Bob Hartley's psychology license should have been revoked after the first season, due to the fact that many of his patients are uncured. But does anybody know the average amount of time it takes for a psychologist to cure a...

    What has The Count counted multiple times?

    Today I've been thinking: What all has The Count counted in multiple episodes/sketches/specials/books/whatever? The only thing I can think of that he's counted more than once have been sheep, counting sheep in the sketch where he spends the night at Ernie and Bert's apartment (where he seems...

    I know that the Paley Center for Media has old TV Guide issues with descriptions of early episodes.

    Vintage TV Guide listings

    This is cool, but some of the information is obviously wrong (for example, it lists different letters for episode 5, while the entry for the second season premiere lists different number lessons as opposed to 2).

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    I'm guessing that the "core six" will get the majority of their own street stories, with the others showing up in secondary roles and appearing in inserts. Snuffy can be involved in a Big Bird plot, Telly can be involved in a plot with Oscar or Elmo (or maybe he could be in plots with Cookie...

    The Boy, The Girl and the Jellybeans

    I had read this in The Sesame Street Storybook a long time ago, and this is a little different than I had remembered it. I had thought that each chapter had the other one tricking the other into giving up their jellybeans, and then the monster sharing jellybeans with the boy, before they decide...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    One thing that I think I've asked before but didn't get an answer to: Did Beaker appear in the linking footage for Fozzie's Muppet Scrapbook? The Internet Movie Database page for it lists Beaker, and the IMDB pages for most of the compilations limit mentioning characters in the cast list to...

    Pairings You Hate

    I never liked the pairing of Hyde and Jackie on That '70s Show. I preferred Kelso and Jackie, as well as Fez and Jackie in the last few episodes. Maybe it helps that I like Kelso, Jackie, and Fez a lot more than I like Hyde. Hyde is one of my least favorite characters (along with Donna and...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    With Sesame Workshop doing that "Old School Week", I wonder if there should be some new Old School DVDs, with titles "70s Old School", "80s Old School", and "90s Old School". They could be one-disc collections of two random episodes from each decade and maybe 50 bonus clips (five for each season...

    Special Preview of The Muppets 2015 TV Show

    So I heard that somebody at Tough Pigs saw the pilot, so if there's anybody here who has seen it, can anybody tell me who performed Denise? We don't hear her voice in the previews.

    The Leslie Mostly Show with Guy Smiley

    As I was watching it just now, when Mumford's smoke appears (when it's just in his living room, not when it's there and on the talk show set), I watched Leslie closely, and saw that she moved slightly without moving. Meaning that they either stopped tape and restarted, or kept rolling and edited...

    Questions about anything

    I forgot that I knew that fact. And now that I think about it, do the callers on Crank Yankers inform those they call that it was done for the show (after they had finished their pranks)? The Disney Channel used to have special "free Disney Channel preview weekends" back when the channel was a...

    Questions about anything

    So is it illegal to make prank phone calls? Was it illegal in the past and then repealed? I remember in one episode of Pee-Wee's Playhouse (from 1986) Randy talks Pee-Wee into prank calling a woman whose husband happens to be a cop, who says that prank calls are illegal but he lets him off...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    To be fair, it was "Old School Week", not "Sesame Street Rarities Week". I had hoped and wondered if we'd get anything we hadn't seen (or at the very least something not on sesamestreet.org), and we did. I hope they make "Old School Week" a regular thing. It would also be great if they would...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    For years, I had been wondering about the production order for The Jim Henson Hour. In 2013, I found a number of sources (that Henson-Disney deal book listing that episode under the title "First Show", plus a Red Book article and Jim Henson: The Biography, plus the fact that one fan was told...

    Getting episodes directly from Sesame Workshop

    Today I've been thinking something: What if Sesame Workshop decided to give a handful of episodes (if not just one) to each fan for free? We could pick any episodes we want, but can't ask for too many. What episodes would the fans ask for? If I was given such an opportunity to have an episode...
