I wonder if Sam and Friends would be allowed. Craig Shemin said in his Tough Pigs interview that Disney owns the characters but for some reason still needs Henson's permission to use them. I wonder if that will be an issue. Sony owns the films, but Disney owns the characters (including...

Well, The Best of Elmo 3 is out. The Muppet Mindset did a review: https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2015/03/03/review-the-best-of-elmo-3/ As expected, this one does not have any of Elmo's appearances from the 1980s. It's not really said in the review, but I asked on Facebook and was told that...

After reading Craig Shemin's interview and seeing that they didn't want to use screen grabs if they didn't have to, I kept thinking about how every page has at least one screen grab (even for characters who should be easy to find three actual photos of), and kept wondering if he meant they...

Yeah, I don't expect the action figure line to include anybody not made by Palisades (except maybe Walter, and a bigger maybe to Bean Bunny and Bobo). But I could see the Mini-Mates line including some characters that Palisades didn't make. But we'll have to wait and see. Hmm, I wonder if a...

I'm guessing that the YouTube commenter was just guessing (then again, I know that Brian Meehl does have an official website, and has answered fan e-mail in the past). But one thing to keep in mind is that the unaired episodes (that we've seen) don't have end credits. So if it was him or a...

It's so great that the 10-videos promo is finally on YouTube. I may have said this before, but it's strange how in the longest version, a few of the clips that appear before and after all the video sections are replaced with other clips, and yet all of the replacement clips are from The...

It is so great to see that whole Saturday Morning Preview special. I guess there was a time when they did those kinds of specials every year, since there was one in 1984. I'd like to see the whole one of that, to know what rabbit was being referred to in that clip with the Muppet Babies voice...

Well, I have now done an article to honor the anniversary: https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2015/02/27/top-five-snl-land-of-gorch-segments/

There's something about this segment that had kind of hit me recently. Long ago, around 2001, I realized the fact that half of these characters no longer appeared on the show, or didn't often. It was rare to even see Gladys, Hoots, Guy Smiley, Biff, and Kermit (though the kids would likely know...

Tonight I saw an episode of WKRP in Cincinnati in which Herb makes a sponsorship deal with a company that makes a potentially dangerous drug (but isn't illegal to sell), but after the station realizes that this could have negative consequences, the sponsor refuses to accept his check back...

Just a few days ago I went to Toys R Us to look at Mini Mates and Diamond Select figures in person. I don't think I saw any "Select" figures there (though I kept having trouble finding the logos for various toy companies), but I saw some mini mates and I think they looked okay. I was surprised...

I see it now. I guess I was expecting to see her in the "with" section and assumed that final section was just crediting Jim, Frank, Jerry, and Dave, the performers who just shot their scenes separately from the rest of the show. I've seen that you've posted other Muppet things besides LMM in...

Last night I dreamt that I was looking at some Sesame Street plush at a store, and saw a great-looking Herry Monster plush that I had considered buying but wasn't sure. I also saw a few of the old Sesame Street bean bag toys, including Herry as well (and he was the only character from that line...

Considering Kathryn Mullen was a writer, I'm surprised to not see her name in the performer credits (I thought I heard her voice as Foo-Foo in Foo-Foo Phooey, guess it's someone else unless). And considering she had said that she used an alternate name yet her real name ended up in the writer...

Cow and Chicken is my least favorite of the original three Cartoon Cartoon shows. I didn't hate it, but didn't enjoy it as much and don't feel a big desire to see that again. But it is a much better show than Ed, Edd & Eddy.

I don't think I've done this list yet... Top ten songs from Weird Al Yankovic that did not get made as official music videos: 1. Yoda 2. Midnight Star 3. Airline Amy 4. Albuquerque 5. Gotta Boogie 6. The Night Santa Went Crazy 7. Everything You Know is Wrong 8. A Complicated Song 9. Cable TV...

I thought roasts were where you make mean comments about people that, despite the roasting, actually do like. If that's the case, why would Justin Bieber be a good roast subject? And I wonder how many of the roasters will really mean the mean things they say out of meanness as opposed to just...

One thing I've always wondered was where all those titles came from. I think somebody said that the episode list came from a TV website, which wouldn't be a proper source for the wiki, but I don't know what source was used for that website. Henson.com never had an episode list for this show (I...

Some time ago, I read somewhere that whenever a Big Bird costume is about to be retired and replaced, they have Big Bird do something that he normally wouldn't do. But the only example I know of is him being in a lake in the Camp Echo Rock episodes. I wonder what else Big Bird has done in such...

I was surprised to hear that Pee-Wee Herman hosted a CBS saturday morning block hosting the show, since his show didn't begin on CBS until the next television season. I wonder if Pee-Wee's Playhouse was in development at the time (and interestingly, like Little Muppet Monsters, that show would...
