They would if it was a TV series, but if it were a movie it probably wouldn't be such a big deal. Did the fans make a big deal out of the fact that Miss Piggy headlined two TV specials, or that the Play-Along Videos had volumes hosted by Fozzie and Rowlf (actually Kermit didn't really host/star...

All of the movies based on Dr. Seuss books are generally hated by the general public (well, The Grinch and Horton seem to be liked a little more). All of those movies had already been adapted into television specials. This makes me wonder: if they made a movie based on a Dr. Seuss book that...

I recently saw an episode of Leave It to Beaver that I think has the "Society Marches On" trope, though I'm not entirely sure. But there's an episode where Beaver and his friends buy shirts with either a monster or a martian, with eyes popped out. Really ugly designs. Beaver and his friends...

I'm surprised that there's going to be a third Power Rangers movie after all these years, even though the show is still on the air.

The "Classic Character Collection" makes me wonder if more old school characters will be included. Of course it could (and probably will) include classic characters still heavily used today, and the Two-Headed Monster is still used quite a bit. I wonder if they'll come out with a Herry Monster...

I suddenly had to stop writing before I was ready to. One thing I noticed about the registered copyrights, regarding characters, is that very few if any characters made from whatnots were listed (I don't think it even lists whatnot types/patterns). As far as I recall, it doesn't list Wayne...

You're right about the voices. It seems like all known skits with Roosevelt and his mother came before the earliest-known appearance of a classroom sketch. I wonder if the mother was dropped by then or what (though I can't think of a reason why they'd need to drop his mother in favor of putting...

I feel like the episodes with Elke Sommers and Lesley Ann Warren are among the best underrated episodes. They both feature a good amount of segments with minor/obscure characters. Elke Sommers has two numbers with Bobby Benson's Baby Band, Louis Kazagger, a two-part Pigs in Space segment, a...

A year ago somebody purchased on ebay an official guide book on the terms for Disney's deal with buying the Muppets and did a couple blog posts scanning various images from that book (I think there's still a lot not posted as well). That is on my mind a lot (and I posted a lot of the stuff...

I don't know if it's been brought up in this thread, but The Muppet Mindset has recently started a new series of articles called "What the Muppets Mean to Me". They haven't done it for two weeks though. I actually don't know how to answer the question of what the Muppets mean to me.

In print it's often spelled "meep", but he's clearly saying "Mee" most of the time. And in the Road Runner shorts, it clearly sounds like he's saying "Meep Meep", but in print merchandise and titles with the catch phrase it's spelled as "Beep Beep". And according to audio commentary on some of...

I'm surprised there haven't been any consoles where you only download games as opposed to putting discs, cartidges, or other things in the systems.

Well, Game Stop does have a few empty packages in the store for games that can be downloaded, which you get the code for, and I chose to try to buy it from that. I did end up getting a prepaid card so I could download without the code.

Today, I was at Game Stop, and wanted to buy the most recent Mario and Donkey Kong game. It's a download-only game, but the store has cases for those in store, where you pay at the store and get a download code. But when I went to buy, I was told that they had sold out of download codes for it...

The Muppets have to rescue a spy played by Pierce Brosnan, one of the James Bond actors? Sounds similar to how Looney Tunes: Back in Action had them rescuing a spy played by Timothy Dalton, who had also played James Bond. Not a bad idea, though.

Lately I've been thinking about how Follow That Bird doesn't have any big production numbers by the cast on the street. I feel there should have been one at the beginning or end (All Together Now seems like it would have been great if sung by the cast, as opposed to being sung by Alabama on the...

After reading about how Weird Al Yankovic's Mandatory Fun album is his first to be #1 in the Billboard charts, I must ask how do the charts work? Does Billboard only track sales of current/recent releases? I recall reading that Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is the highest-selling album of all...

Recently, the Tough Pigs forum has had a thread on Weird Al Yankovic, and I saw somebody mention listening to all the albums in order and noticed that Weird Al's work started getting a lot more "slicker" at Even Worse. That may just be one fans opinion, and I hadn't really noticed it before, but...

At first I thought this would be about full-body characters who were awkwardly performed. I'd say some of the full-body shots in The Muppets are awkward, particularly Scooter standing and sweeping. And some full-body shots of Telly in Follow That Bird look kinda weird. But Muppets pretty...

Top ten songs parodied by Weird Al Yankovic: 1. Beat It 2. American Pie 3. I Think We're Alone Now 4. I Love Rock 'n Roll 5. Who's Johnny? 6. Fancy 7. Piano Man 8. Complicated 9. Stop Dragging My Heart Around 10. Girls Just Want to Have Fun Keep in mind this list is for the songs that were...
