    Why WEREN'T there more Muppet Show on Tour?

    This is something I've been wondering about for the last few days, and I don't really expect anyone to know but maybe some do. Back in the 1980s, there were two Muppet Show on Tour shows (and a few Muppet Babies Live shows), and then they stopped. I wonder why they didn't continue with these...

    Goosebumps Thread

    One thing that I wonder is when the Goosebumps suddenly became as popular as it did. The first books came out in 1992, I first heard of them at least a year later, and I sort of feel like the popularity erupted around 1995. Not only is that when I had really started collecting and obsessing over...

    Goosebumps Thread

    In the last few days, I've been thinking a lot about the Goosebumps book series by R.L. Stein and thought I'd start a thread for the series. I first heard of Goosebumps when I was in the fourth grade, the 1993-1994 school year, when my teacher read us "Let's Get Invisible". Then I heard that...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    And now I'm wondering if Monster Maker and Living with Dinosaurs would have made great feature films (as opposed to being hour-long specials as part of The Jim Henson Hour). They'd likely be cheaper to make than The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. Then again, it's hard for me to pay attention to...

    The Muppet Mindset

    In the last few months I had started thinking about how there doesn't seem to be any other websites like the three Mindset websites by Ryan Dosier. And maybe there are and I just don't know about them, but I feel there should be various similar blogs that allow fans to send in articles. Star...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    I am a bit mixed on this. On one hand, most of these shows are not as well-remembered to the general public, don't seem to have cult fanbases, and probably won't be released in complete series/season sets anytime soon, but on the other hand, it was steady work for the company. Today I've been...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    As you may or may not know, many websites have been doing articles about the 45th anniversary, and Tough Pigs has compiled most of them: http://www.toughpigs.com/sesame-street-was-everywhere-this-week/

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    Although there hasn't been much celebration, in the past few days there's been quite a few online articles about the shows anniversary. There's been interviews with a few members of the cast, Sesame Workshop has posted a few things about the anniversary on social media, and this week The AV Club...

    The Adults and Snuffy

    I added that, though at the time I don't remember seeing your post. I happened to find the flat earth athiest trope from a works page (I probably saw your post without clicking the link and without thinking much about it) and after reading examples and not seeing it there I decided to list it.

    Murray's Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Show (outlines)

    This was fun to compile. Though there are some segments I wanted to include but forgot to, such as American I. Of course there were times when I posted one outline and thought, "I should have included this sketch" or "I forgot to include that sketch" but then realized that I could still include...

    The Adults and Snuffy

    Suddenly, I sort of feel like Follow That Bird would have been a great time to reveal that Snuffy was real. Well, except for the fact that the movie didn't do well in theaters. In the movie, nobody mentions the fact that the adults didn't believe in Snuffy, but that could have been a plot...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    I've been thinking about something Craig Shemin said when he was interviewed for The Muppet Mindset. He said that in the ten years after Jim Henson had died, the company had produced a lot more hours of television than Jim had in his lifetime. It is an accomplishment, but I do wonder about...

    Questions about anything

    Does anybody know why the original Goosebumps book series ended and got replaced with Goosebumps Series 2000? I remember wondering that when the change happened, and wondering why 2000 had to be in the title. I started to lose interest in Goosebumps shortly afterwards (I do have some of the...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities
