    So It's Come to This: A Clip Show Thread

    Maybe they won't know what films will be represented with clips until they see it. Maybe the clips come from films they've never heard of. Maybe watching the clips will make them want to seek out the real... Oh, never mind.

    Which Sesame Street character should get a Greatest hits DVD next?

    Oh, so they're basically like those "and friends" releases (with the Cookie Monster one having the exact same contents as "Cookie Monster and Friends", though the Big Bird is different from "Big Bird and Friends").

    Which Sesame Street character should get a Greatest hits DVD next?

    I just saw on Sesame Street's Facebook page that a collection that a new collection of videos have been released in Australia, with the general titles "I (heart symbol) (insert character name here)". With the heart symbol in the title, I wonder how hard it will be for Muppet Wiki to have pages...

    What Muppet Production is This From?

    It's video footage from the Disney stage show Here Come the Muppets, which ran at the MGM Studios from 1990-1991. That clip also appeared at the beginning of Great Performances: The World of Jim Henson (and that still is most likely taken from that, given the quality and the fact that it's not...

    So It's Come to This: A Clip Show Thread

    I remember a long time ago, on the old Golden Age Cartoons forum, I had noticed that the Golden Collections didn't have any of the Looney Tunes clip show shorts, and somebody speculated that those "cheater" shorts would be released after all the shorts they compiled clips from were remastered...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    This is the first I heard of that reputation of not wanting to talk about certain subjects. I think I read that there were a lot of pages cut from the book. And there are a lot of productions that I noticed were not mentioned or discussed in the book. I wonder if any such discussion was in...

    So It's Come to This: A Clip Show Thread

    The Garfield comic strip actually did a "clip show" for Garfield's tenth anniversary (which is a "look how far we've come" retrospective, but with a funny pay-off): http://garfield.com/comic/1988-06-19 For a few years, That Guy with the Glasses had anniversary specials that weren't clip shows...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I saw on Muppet Wiki that there either is or will be (there's no "in development" tag there) a second volume of Elmo the Musical as a Wal-Mart exclusive. I was at Wal-Mart today but didn't see it (though I didn't know about it when I was at Wal-Mart), though I did see something else I don't...

    So It's Come to This: A Clip Show Thread

    The Clerks animated series actually did a clip show for its second episode.... Many of the same clips from the first produced episode were reshown over and over, and I think they repeated a few clips from earlier in that episode, before showing a bunch of short flashbacks as if they were clips...

    The Muppets: Adventures in Cinema (Video Game)

    I thought I posted a reply yesterday, but I don't see it. This is the first I've heard of the PS Vita. I wonder if the Muppets would do a Star Wars parody.

    Dreams about Muppets...

    I'm just remembering a dream I had around 1992-1994, can't remember much, but I dreamt of a Sesame Street video promo similar to the Muppet video promo seen at the end of the Playhouse Video releases. All I remember is it starting with "it's singing...", over a clip of Bert singing "Doin' the...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    Here's something that's been online for a few years... The opening trailers on the UK release of Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuff, including individual promos for The Kermit and Piggy Story and Muppet Moments. These promos are a bit odd... There's no voice-over, and we mainly get a few...

    The one thing on the internet I can no longer stand...

    This reminds me of a long time ago, I think a decade and a half, I saw some voice chasers website listing Muppet productions, and it actually listed a number of fake productions, like "The Muppets Celebrate Richard Hunt" and, I think, a live-action Muppet Babies series (it listed one episode as...

    Sesame Street episode highlights from 1977

    Hopefully somebody at Muppet Wiki can come to University of Maryland sometime in the near future and look at the season 11 and 12 guides (and remaining season 10 guides, if there are any). At this point there'd probably be episodes that featured Leslie Mostly, Dr. Noble Price, Deena and Pearl...

    So It's Come to This: A Clip Show Thread

    I've always liked clip shows. It's usually cool to see clips from past episodes in new episodes. It seems like sometimes there's a joke that the clip show is a way to allow the writers to take a break. But they still need somebody to write the linking footage (okay, maybe they just need one...

    Pre-Order "Muppets Most Wanted" Blu-ray available August 12

    I wonder if they did plan something that was cut from the script before the finished version. The Muppets Character Encyclopedia mentions that she returned for Muppets Most Wanted, and Craig Shemin did work from a draft of the script. I know that they made a little big deal out of it in a few...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    Well, for me, part of it is more ordering online than the cost. I tend to prefer to do things by actually going out and doing them over doing things online or by phone. I have looked at Amazon's pages for them a few years ago and saw that the average one was in the $20 range (which I would have...

    Pre-Order "Muppets Most Wanted" Blu-ray available August 12

    There's something I kind of want to know, kind of want to be surprised about, but unsure if I really want to be surprised or not.... But does this have the rumored* scene where Lips gets a line (maybe you could answer this one in "spoilers")? *the fact that Lips has a line isn't really the...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    What else is there that's related to super and numbers? Has Super Grover ever taught counting (I don't know off-hand, but don't remember any such segments)? Has The Count ever been a superhero? Of course, according to Muppet Wiki, 13 Teeny Little Super Guy segments were produced, but only 8...
