I recently found an article about the 16th season, which mentions that some of the adults would finally believe in Snuffy (I'm not sure if that was all supposed to be spread out throughout the season - like Maria would believe Big Bird in one episode, then Linda would believe him later, then...

I just watched the movie "Invaders from Mars", and in the opening credits, it says "based on a screenplay by..." before the "screenplay by..." credit. But wouldn't most movies be based on their screenplays? I'm sure most movies get rewritten multiple times, and the majority of some movies have a...

I didn't really notice there being a lot put out last year that would be expected for the anniversary. There weren't even any more iTunes releases of classic episodes or any DVDs aimed at collectors (the closest would be Fairy Tale Fun, which had five classic clips, two of which had already been...

I'm a little mixed on this. On one hand, it could be too much to have threads on every single episode, but on the other hand, those of us who saw episodes way later than their premiere could comment on them in the episode threads, without having to post in the season threads long after they had...

Is this a regular thing on CBS This Morning? Recently I saw a clip from an appearance Art Garfunkle made on a show (which I can't remember whether it was CBS This Morning or a different show) where he wrote a letter to his past self. Could there be other celebrities who have done the same thing...

Another idea that would be great: If they did something similar to the contest 20th Century Fox recently did for The Simpsons, where fans get selected to compete to see who can watch the most consecutive episodes of Sesame Street. Though it seems like something Sesame Workshop might not want to...

Actually I believe Sesame Street Unpaved says that they use rice cakes, not rice crackers. It's interesting, at one point in the book, it reveals that the cookies are usually rice cakes (I believe it mentions that real cookies are occasionally used, but they're just a certain kind of cookie...

SPOILER WARNING: I can't determine whether what I say in this post is a spoiler or not, but I tried to put most of it in white so it'll appear invisible and have to be highlighted to be read, but even though it works in preview, when I hit "post" and then every time I hit "save changes" the text...

I think it'd be funny if Oscar changed a line from "I just can't wipe this smile off my face" to "I just can't wipe this frown off my face".

In the 1985 movie Fright Night, at one point one of the main characters points out that nobody cares about vampire movies anymore. Not only have vampire movies gained in popularity in the past few years, but this movie came out the same year as another vampire movie, Once Bitten. I get the...

I've been puzzled over an internet meme inspired by the Lipton ads. It's a photo of Kermit drinking tea, with a caption which starts begins pointing out something fairly negative about something and then ends with "but that's none of my business". It goes well with the still image, but Kermit...

Same here. I constantly find used copies of various movies and Fairie Tale Theater videos, and more occasionally find the Dr. Seuss videos (but I saw those at more video stores than the Muppet ones).

Question for Brian: Was there anything about Jim Henson or his work that you were hoping to find out about when researching/interviewing for the book, even if it's something that you wouldn't have actually put in the book, that you were not able to find the answers you were looking for?

I recently read at TV Tropes that there was a period when Steven Spielberg wanted to be a serious director. But I thought he was a "serious director" (maybe because of this period...?). I can barely think of any comedies he directed (there's 1942, and I'm not entirely sure whether Hook was a...

I recently read that the Saturday Night Live video collection showcasing the best of each season ("The Best of 1975", "The Best of 1986", "The Best of 1994", etc.) just has three episodes edited to 30 minutes each. If they're showcasing the best of each season, shouldn't they just pick the best...

I often think about how Follow That Bird often gets overlooked in retrospectives/biographies on Jim Henson and Sesame Street. I feel like it (and Elmo in Grouchland) should be included and recognized more. But then it hit me: If it was a TV special or direct-to-video production as opposed to a...

The other night, I dreamt that I was watching an alternate version of the Mad Man Mooney scene from The Muppet Movie, where Mad Man Mooney realizes how the decimal got on the price tag and wipes it off, only for the Muppets to dismiss it as "the oldest trick in the book".

Here's something else I was thinking about today. I know I've thought about it before, and might have mentioned it somewhere, though not in this thread (I've looked through all my posts in this thread to make sure): A book or CD-ROM compiling info on every single episode. I know, it would...

Today I thought of something that would be cool (though I think I suggested something like it before). A reference book on every production The Jim Henson Company did. All Muppet and Bear productions (at least the ones that Henson made), all Sesame Street productions, all movies the Creature...

Right now I Have "All About That Bass" and "Feels Like Heaven" stuck in my head.
