For years, I wondered why Saturday Night Live continued after season 5. Since Lorne Michaels, all of the cast, and most of the writers left, they should have just ended it. Season 6 was basically a new show, and should have just had a completely different title. But considering the sixth season...

In Man on the Moon, when Andy Kauffman first announces that he has cancer, his disbelieving manager threatens to sue his writer if he finds out that his writer was the one behind Andy having cancer. While I don't know if that threat really happen, I'd like to know if you can really sue somebody...

I wonder if these 30-minute versions will have special alternate titles (like how Noggin referred to its airings as Sesame Street Unpaved and 123 Sesame Street). It would be great if they could do a few different 30-minute versions of the show from different eras* (in different time slots...

They didn't cut the whole song. Having only seen the movie once (and before I got the soundtrack), I don't remember how short it was in the movie.

One thing that would be cool for the anniversary would be if PBS or Sprout would show a classic clip between programming. Maybe something under two minutes. Of course, if classic clips were shown between programming, I guess they'd be some of the best-known classic clips. Stuff like Rubber...

At first, I wondered if this would be a completely new show, or if it would include classic segments, but it looks like neither will be the case. I wonder if there'll be a special title for these edited reruns.

Any idea if this applies to Amazon or eBay? On a similar note, do you need an account to use prepaid cards to download from the Nintendo eShop?

If you make an online purchase with a prepaid credit card, do you need to have an account with whatever website you're shopping from?

Recently, I've dreamed that the special Sesame Street All-Star 25th Birthday: Stars and Street Forever was being rebroadcast... And I didn't know this was on until it was at the montage of music clips, where my recorded copy had stopped, so I quickly went to get a blank tape to record from...

You know, back in the 1990s, it seems like this was the hardest Muppet film to find a non-rental video copy of. Most video stores and libraries had it, but finding a copy to buy was hard... I remember back then seeing copies to buy at Suncoast (which I didn't go to often back then) and Kroger...

Recently, there was a line of Muppet figures spoofing Star Wars... I wonder if Disney should try more Muppet figure lines based on other popular franchises. Marvel superheroes comes to mind right now. Hmm, I wonder if there'll be new Muppet Star Wars figures when the new Star Wars movies...

I don't remember.

Last night I dreamt that I watched the 1994 VHS release of The Frog Prince, and after the program there was a lot of extra stuff, like deleted scenes and special scenes for the video. There was a fade to black with text, reading "Miss Piggy was eaten by Sweetums", with Kermit reading the text...

Although the unproduced Muppets in Space got merchandise (Welch's juice jars) around the time it was announced. In Jim Henson: The Biography, it says that the movie ended with Gonzo getting corporate funding, allowing for it to be produced in high definition... But I didn't think high...

These last few days I've also been thinking about Muppet/Henson music publishers. It seems Henson had and now Disney has their own publishing companies for songs and music written especially for the Muppets. There's been such names as "Muppet Melodies" and "Fuzzy Muppet Songs", I think there...

Well, the cover for Learning Rocks has been posted on Muppet Wiki. It happened exactly a day after I made a comment about it not being there (I procrastinated on mentioning it for a few days). We technically don't know whether it'll be two full episodes or a mix of street stories and...

It seems like Atari, Nintendo, and Sega have all included their company names in the titles of various systems, but Sony and Microsoft don't. For years, I've only known the various Atari systems as "Atari", not "Atari 2600", "Atari 5200", and "Atari 7200" (or is that last one wrong?), though...

I'm also sometimes thinking about how before Jim Henson died, different home video companies would have the video rights to different productions, after he died video companies would have the video rights to nearly everything the company owned, and after the company sold the Muppets video deals...

I know we still have a month until Learning Rocks comes out, but does anybody else find it odd that the cover still hasn't been posted online? It seems the covers usually come out within a week of being announced.

A few times in recent months (including tonight), I've been trying to determine what Muppet productions are most/least obscure. I've been thinking in terms of how often they've been rebroadcast, whether they've had video releases (and how many releases), and a few other things. And maybe all...
