Been thinking about how the majority of Sesame Street anniversary/greatest hits albums tend to have at least a few tracks that feel a bit random (the same can be said for most character spotlight albums and videos). Which gets me trying to determine which one has the best representation of the...

I don't think there was an official Rocky and Bullwinkle fan club. If there was, I wouldn't be surprised if the segments ended with them saying how to join (and wouldn't be surprised if those were cut from reruns and video releases, as the mailing address and membership probably wouldn't be...

In The Moose That Roared, it is said that the Fan Club segments were made as a way of subliminally reminding viewers of the Rocky and Bullwinkle merchandise that was out there. Did anybody get a sense of that from the segments? I never did. The segments never featured any Bullwinkle merchandise...

After my post about the "Donkey Kong sucks" scene in Billy Madison, I decided to seek out the clip on YouTube to see if any of the commentors felt the same way, and a number of the comments were about what I was talking about. And I thought of a few more interpretations of the scene...

I first heard about this appearance when Tough Pigs posted about it on Facebook, saying that every Sesame Street Muppet was in it. I jokingly asked about a few who I really wouldn't have expected, and then they gave a confirmation answer which I couldn't really tell whether it was sarcastic or...

In Billy Madison, there's a scene where Billy tells a classmate that the best video game ever is Donkey Kong, and the classmate tells him that Donkey Kong sucks. Billy Madison came out in 1995, a year after Donkey Kong was revived with the Donkey Kong Country series, the first of which was the...

I've noticed over the years that Frank Oz has never provided audio commentary on any Muppet DVDs (not even The Dark Crystal or MTM). For awhile I wondered if that was because of his busy directing career, though he has provided commentary for some of his past films (Little Shop of Horrors, and I...

It does look weird having Big Bird's doors removed and Oscar's trash can moved from its original location after all these years. If they thought it was outdated for Oscar's trash can to be on crates and piles of trash, couldn't they have put the dumpster in its original area? But it could be...

I didn't think Muppet Wiki's "Cookie Monster Sketches: Miscellanous" page had info on "King Cookie" before today - this morning I looked and didn't see it there (primarily looking at sketches with EKAs up to the early 1990s, and then at the bottom where sketches listed didn't have EKAs). But...

Here's one that I don't think many of us have seen. I'm pretty sure that Muppet Wiki at least didn't previously have a picture. At first I thought it was going to be a King Midas parody but with Cookie Monster turning things into cookies (which I think was a street scene). Wow, it seems...

"I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" by the Supremes and the Temptations. Until today I didn't even know who sang it (and was surprised that two different soul groups collaborated on it).

Hopefully with three site runners there'll be more updates than in the past year. At first the Mindset had new articles once a day, rarely skipping days, and then it seems like it became more and more uncommon for articles to appear during the weekend (and even more rare for both days of the...

Something tells me Disney would want this to be on at hours when children are awake, and I can't say for all kids but when I was a kid, my bedtime was 9PM (when I entered middle school it was 10).

Fascination.

So judging from the article, this looks like it'll be a sitcom as opposed to having the variety show format. So Miss Piggy will have left the Muppets and need to come back AGAIN??? Hopefully this time it won't feel inconsequential. Debating over whether I want to write an article on the...

Well, Ryan announced today that he's leaving The Muppet Mindset to officially work for the Muppets, but the site will have three new moderators. I can't remember who they are at the moment. I was slightly worried when I first saw the article. I still have plenty of article ideas, and had sent...

April Fools always gets added to the titles of April Fools threads after April 1 is over (there were a few years when the changes happened during April Fools Day).

I figured I'd make a list of all the April Fools threads I could find from this year. It seems this years April Fools Day wasn't too heavy with such threads. I'm now working on Sesame DVDs: http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/im-working-on-sesame-street-dvds-now.59283/ Disney sued in...
