    Muppets on CNN tonight at 9:00 EST

    Well, the Muppets never really follow a specific canon. By the time of that special, Miss Piggy and Gonzo should have known who Jim was already, as they both interacted with him in The Jim Henson Hour Pitch Tape, and in The Secrets of the Muppets Gonzo and Bean (and probably Clifford) knew who...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In the Zero Mostel episode of The Muppet Show, Kermit says that the amount Kermit needs for the payroll was 26 dollars and something. And yet the previous season, when Scooter was hired Kermit decided to pay him 30 dollars. And when Kermit tells Scooter how much he needs, Scooter doesn't seem to...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Top ten songs I first heard (whether they were new or old songs I just hadn't heard) since I made my various top ten songs lists (alright, not counting any songs from Muppets Most Wanted or the most recent seasons of Sesame Street): 10. Dr. Beat by Paula Abdul 9. Let's Hear It for the Boy by...

    looking for old classic clip from 1983

    I hadn't watched it online in over a year, but I did some searches (including "death", "Mr. Hooper", and "I'll Miss You Mr. Hooper") and no results. I guess it's been taken down. I also checked to see if the street scenes where Snuffy is revealed to be real were still online, but they're not.

    Little Chrissy episode I remember

    Sesamestreet.org has a few clips from an episode with Elmo, Little Chrissy, and Big Jeffy (you can do searches for those characters, though sesamestreet.org spells it as "Jeffie", I can't remember but I think the site also spells it "Chrissie"). I've also seen a Muppet Wiki guide for a different...

    looking for old classic clip from 1983

    Sesamestreet.org has the street scenes from that episode, including the Forgetful Jones scene.

    Little things we've noticed

    One thing I think I just realized: It seems like it was rare for multiple Jim Henson characters to appear in the same segment. I previously mentioned that The King's Nose has all three of his main Sesame Street characters (Ernie, Kermit, and Guy Smiley) but we never see more than two at a time...

    Sesame Street Quiz-aper

    I had forgotten about this. I wonder if I should do an updated "quiz-aper", with questions about things that came after I did this (like "What's your favorite episode of Abby's Flying Fairy School?" or "What's your favorite installment of Elmo the Musical?"), maybe even additions to results to...

    Who was Wall-Eyed Pike's Performer?

    I always thought he was performed by Jerry Nelson. He sounds a bit like Scred. While on the subject of Wall-Eyed Pike, is his name a pun of some sort? Almost all of the named pirates had names that are some sort of pun, irony, or have something to do with who or what they were.

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

    So three different cuts? I was kinda hoping the deleted scenes would be on their own, but at least we'll be getting them (in the form of an extended cut). So glad that Brett McKenzie's music video will be featured. Huh, I don't think I've ever made a wishlist for bonus features. That's...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Been thinking about the Sam Sheepdog and Ralph Wolf shorts, and while they have a lot of great physical humor, it seems like the funniest parts come when the two are not on the clock. Just how they greet each other and act civil towards each other when not working, when Sam tells Ralph in "Steal...

    Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge Episode 8: Tavern at the Crossroads

    I wonder if any of the creatures built during this series (especially by the ones who didn't win) will be used in any upcoming productions. Can the company legally use any built by the puppet builders who didn't win and therefore didn't get hired? I was hoping the woman would win. She was...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Though when watching that commercial, I can't help but feel it was produced by a religious company (though it has nothing to do with religion).

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    So "healthier" is cool (at least to the kids and teens watching)? On another subject, has anybody noticed that during World War II, a lot of animated studios (and I really only know about the ones from Disney and WB, and to a lesser extent MGM) made shorts attacking the enemy soldiers...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    It'd be great if somebody could contact 20th Century Fox and asked them about it. Though I doubt it's that easy.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    It would have been interesting to see an entry on the Country Trio. I wonder if the book would have said that the trio gave up music to be puppeteers.

    MUPPETS Screenwriter Nicholas Stoller Says THE MUPPETS Might Be Coming Back to TV

    Stoller said that one of his Muppet movie ideas involves Kermit and Miss Piggy getting married. Not sure if I like that idea as the whole plot for a movie, but it reminds me of how in Jim Henson: The Biography, Jerry Juhl suggested an idea for a movie about Miss Piggy being pregnant, and Henson...
