And there's also the fact that this is the first season where Frank is no longer credited (though I assume they still show some segments that Frank performed in). By the way, is Jerry still credited on the show (Jim and Richard both continued to be credited for a long time after they died, and...

Do you recall whether he actually referred to himself by name? I wonder if it's better that it's an actual obscure character, or if it would have been funnier if it was a previously-unseen character, so that none of us would know who he was (if they didn't want to spend money building a new...

Bill Prady has said that The Muppet Show was a parody of variety shows. I never thought of it as a parody - just thought of it as an actual variety show (with puppets and more convenience regarding filming). He said that if this was a variety show, it would be reviving the format as opposed to...

I mentioned that possibility. Though it's still a little odd. Those two movies were listed in a list of the Muppet movies in the "Scratching the Surface" feature on The Muppets Blu-ray. Even if rights issues prevent them from even being allowed to freely mention the titles of the movies it...

At first the Palisades line only included characters and things from TMS (and at first they were even limited in what TMS characters were included, though I find it interesting that Mahna Mahna and the Snowths initially weren't included but the Robot Rabbit was) before expanding. I wonder if...

In thinking about how Jim Henson's Creature Shop still has all pre-2004 Muppets in storage (since Disney doesn't archive acquired properties), combined with the fact that existing pre-2004 puppets obviously still get used in new Muppet productions from time to time, I must wonder where they get...

I'd like to see the script page for the scene with Chip. I'd be interested in seeing if the script actually identified him by name or if it referred to him as something like "Obscure Muppet Character". Of course I wouldn't be surprised if part of that was cut for the trailer - until we actually...

In addition to Ted Turner, Warner Bros. computer colorized many black and white Looney Tunes (mostly the ones with Daffy and Porky) during the early 1990s. I'm surprised that Ted Turner didn't computer colorize the black and white Popeye shorts at least, unless he was content with redrawn...

Here's several of the "Classic TV Rewind" promos (though it doesn't have the one about the episode of Mary Tyler Moore where Mary bonds with Phyllis's daughter). I'm surprised by how many of these I forgot about (though I remembered right after seeing). It was fun trying to guess once...

I've seen an (I assume) official description for Count on Elmo, which mentions that Elmo, Abby, Grover, and Cookie Monster all secretly nominate The Count, which wasn't in the episode as aired. Assuming this wasn't a big "Cowboy Bebop at his computer" mistake, I guess there'll be more footage...

Well it probably wasn't easy back then to colorize live-action programming back then (and even after computer colorizing was possible, there's hardly any black and white shows with colorized episodes), but with today's technology it's probably easier to change full frame to widescreen or whatever.

Top ten episodes of Freaks and Geeks*: 10. Carded and Discarded 9. Pilot 8. I'm with the Band 7. Beers and Weirs 6. Discos and Dragons 5. Chokin and Tokin 4. Dead Dogs and Gym Teachers 3. Noshing and Moshing 2. Girlfriends and Boyfriends 1. The Garage Door *Keep in mind that I've only seen...

What if Nick at Nite started showing a lot more sitcoms with as much of the Full House cast as possible? Like that one show Bob Saget starred in (was there only one?), or Hudson Street (a short-lived sitcom with Lori Loughan which premiered the season after FH ended)? Better yet, they could be...

I know, but he has been trained to perform most of Jerry Nelson's characters and did perform the puppet in Jerry's last years (The Count is the only one of his Sesame Street characters Matt has provided the voice of). David Rudman did perform Mr. Johnson in EIG. I feel he sounded too much...

Suddenly I've been thinking, Disney has more-or-less officially considered May 9 to be Kermit's birthday, and many of the Sesame Street Muppets have official birth dates, but I wonder if any of the other Muppets have official birth dates. Are there official birthdays for Miss Piggy, Fozzie...

Although I haven't seen this episode, I feel like it would be a great street story to include if they ever come out with another Grover spotlight video. "Grover Does It All" could even be the theme of the video, with the street story either at the beginning or end, or perhaps with it cut up into...

I've seen something like a Fraggle Hole at work before. I often joked that it is one.

Today, Caroll Spinney answered fan question on Reddit's "Ask me Anything". Here is the top ten topics I wish I had thought to ask about: 10. Did Bruno have a full head of hair, or was he bald underneath his cap? 9. Anything about Shivers the Penguin. 8. Wish I'd asked about one of the specials...

Well, it was great. I was wondering how big a number of people participating would be, since I hadn't seen much announcements at the right places (I heard about this via the Tough Pigs forum, and posted about it here, and neither thread had many replies). It was good to see a lot of people...
