Is it just me, or do the opening numbers rarely feel like opening numbers? Compared to The Muppet Show and even Muppet's Tonight, the opening numbers feel like they come in a little late to be opening numbers. Of course, on The Muppet Show, episodes rarely began backstage (after the...

I guess I worded what I asked wrong. I knew that those songs were on the soundtrack. What I was wondering out loud was if maybe the songs were recorded more to have some big names (besides the Muppets and Waylon Jennings) on the soundtrack than to be in the movie. As I said, they would have made...

Back when the 25th anniversary release was announced, I thought it would be cool to include bonus clips, though at the time Warner Home Video didn't have the video rights to Sesame Street, just Follow That Bird (and then they got the rights a year later). I can't remember what clips I thought...

Those clips say "full" and "extended", but I didn't notice any scenes that were cut from the theatrical version (which I've only seen once). That one "extended" clip has about four scenes (which I think were featured back-to-back-to-back in the film) and I've noticed some scenes that don't even...

And since Warner currently has the Sesame Street license, they could even include some bonus clips from Sesame Street.

Besides Harvey Korman, are there any guest stars who are known to have not really wanted to be on the show? I'm guessing that after the first or second season they didn't have many guests who didn't want to be on the show (they had a waiting list for guests, after all). Yeah, the Liberace...

There have been times when I recorded something off TV, taping over something that was already there (for a number of reasons), only to also tape over stuff that came later (or parts of things that came later) on the same tape. So when you record over things on tape, does it record faster than...

The "start" button on a video game controller is often called the "pause" button, even though it says "start". It does start the games, but people surely use the button to pause more than start. I'd ask "what's up with that", but is labeling it the start button an "artifact" or "artifact...

One of the recent reviews at Tough Pigs mentions that it seemed like a bad decision to have the first half hour to focus on the Muppets and be so energetic, only to then be followed by the more serious StoryTeller. I wonder if the show would have done better if The StoryTeller came first and...

I've noticed that on Muppets Tonight, there'll often be similar scenes or gags that occur in Clifford's introductions two episodes in a row, even if they weren't produced back-to-back. Like the first two episodes, they both begin with Clifford's introduction being interrupted by one or more...

Is Barkley still performed by Bruce Connelly (I guess I should watch the current credits to see if Connelly is still in the credits)? It seems like, with the exception of Brian Muehl, none of Barkley's performers had any other characters (well, Fred Garbo also performed the hands of Dexter...).

Let's see if I can think of enough people who could have been guest stars for seasons 6-10. 24 per season (I don't think I'll list any duo guests). Season 6 (1981-1982): Cher Andy Kauffman Mary Tyler Moore Danny Devito Davy Jones Imogene Coco Buddy Epsen Zsa Zsa Gabor Orson Wells Robert...

Recently I've been thinking about the initial critical failure of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, and I'm starting to wonder if those movies would have done better critically and box office-wise (well, The Dark Crystal did do well at the box office) if the movies came out in reverse order, or if...

I was just looking at the page Popularity Polynomial, which is for things that were big at one point but then lost popularity for years and then suddenly regained its former popularity... It mentions Pokemon, but did Pokemon really lose popularity? I think I was older than the target audience...

It seems like on How I Met Your Mother, sometimes there's a commercial break after the opening, and sometimes there's not. And I'm talking about the original CBS broadcasts, not reruns. Anybody know why they would sometimes follow the opening with a commercial break and sometimes not? I can't...

I think Nickelodeon moved around the commercial breaks for The Secrets of the Muppets, though it's hard to know for sure since it didn't air during the shows original run (I wonder if The Odyssey Channel had the same breaks and fade-ins as Nick). The original airing probably would have had a...

According to Muppet Wiki, Learning Rocks will indeed be two full hour-long episodes, and will have a bonus street story, "What's That Noise?"

For the past days, I've had "If I Had Words" from Babe stuck in my head. And also The Buddy Bears song from Garfield and Friends.

I've read that one song in South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut was going to be titled... Err, it was going to be called the MF word, but then it would have been rated NC-17 unless they changed the "Mother" part of the title, so the song title had "Uncle" instead of "Mother". So... Anybody...

I wondered about those as well. I wonder if those things were mainly where their copies come from (a few things listed "courtesy of YouTube"). Interestingly, most TMM clips had a "courtesy of American Film Distribution", but I also saw at least one clip that said "courtesy of Walt Disney...
