    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    I wonder if Henson ever made any official pictures of the Solid Foam band, besides early photos that featured Animal and Zoot as part of the band. It seems like something they should have done. I also wonder if the company made any non-still pictures from any segments. It seems like almost...

    If You Could Bring Back One Lost Character...

    I'd revive Digit. But if Disney wouldn't allow for any Jim Henson Hour characters to return (Disney wouldn't allow any in Muppet Snow White, and only allowed a few in The Muppets Character Encyclopedia), then I'd bring back Louis Kazagger.

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    Most Absurd Things About The Toy Industry

    Speaking of Mario, there seems to be quite a few Mario toy lines, from different companies. The majority of current toys seem to be from K'nex, but there's also a collection of figures and playsets (I think they're called "Micro-playsets", though there are also "delux" playsets) from Jakks, and...

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

    Often, when you ask somebody something, or need to talk to somebody, they'll say "just a second", but then you usually have to wait more than just a second. So in "waiting talk", how long does "just a second" actually last (today somebody told me they'd talk to me in "just a second", I wanted to...

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    It's been widely sourced that the ending (at least the parts with the kids) was filmed much earlier. I'd read about a year ago that the ending was filmed in the second season, then last week read that it was filmed during the first season. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if every scene with...

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    According to this press release, the DVD release will include a happier ending: http://time.com/50456/how-i-met-your-mother-happy-ending/

    Tales of the Tinkerdee

    I thought that The Great Santa Claus Switch had already been uploaded years ago (and I still haven't watched the whole thing). That introduction sequence (from The Dick Calvett Show) with images of the characters appearing as they are announced looks like the images were taken on the set...

    Fan Service Before 2001

    Since the past decade, it's been a lot more common for Muppet productions to throw in references to past productions for the fans to enjoy. The last two movies have all kinds of nods to past productions (and a few similarites to past productions that may or may not be coincidence), but we also...

    April Fools: Muppets to do TV special with Belinda Carlisle and other '80s stars

    After some of the mention of this being "because of the success of the Lady Gaga special", I now remember that I got the idea for this April Fools joke while reading forum posts about the Lady Gaga special, particularly when somebody said we should have been thankful the Muppets were appearing...

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    I felt like this last episode was the first time the show wasn't perfect, which gets me wondering: Is it a bad thing if a show doesn't jump the shark until the final episode?

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Maybe they could have them themed around classic characters who were primarily in street stories, like Big Bird (it'd be great to see footage from the season 7 episode where Big Bird runs for president, or footage from the "Number 4 Show" besides "I Just Adore Four"), Oscar, and Mr...

    Did Anyone Get Constantine Spoofing Annoying Cliches?

    I noticed that too. Especially with the Sesame Street clip being from the early 1970s, where Kermit's voice was a bit dimmer than it would be on The Muppet Show (which was also a little different from how Kermit sounded during Jim's last few years).

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

    Well, I found some reviews of the Mario PVC figurines, though they were video reviews and I couldn't find any reviews of the recent series 4 figures. I didn't realize that there wasn't a Bowser (actually I saw images of a 3-pack of Mario, Bowser, and Peach which look like they're from the same...

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

    I have some of the Super Mario PVCs. They're available separately and as part of a multi-PVC set. One thing I don't like is that some characters are really hard to find outside of the multi-figure sets. And do they just do one series of those per year? I just recently found a series 4, after...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    For April Fools day, I had thought about posting an April Fools thread saying that an updated edition had already been announced, with less focus on Muppets Most Wanted (and maybe some focus on the upcoming 60-year anniversary), over 45 characters not in the first version, maybe even including...

    April Fools: Every Muppet production on Netflix

    You know, after I'd already posted a couple of threads, I had thought about doing a joke announcement of a DVD release of the Lady Gaga special (I assume that's coming to DVD, or at least was planned for a DVD release when it was in production... Was the 2012 Lady Gaga holiday special released...

    April Fools: The Muppet Show Season 4 to be released on DVD September 7, 2014

    So the Star Wars episode would be skipped? Disney owns the franchise now, so that episode shouldn't be a problem.

    Questions about anything

    So how do you pronounce the name of the Super Mario Bros. character Lakitu? I've only seen it spelled... Has he ever been referred to by name in any of the animated shows (though I don't recall seeing him on any of the shows)?

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

    Why am I having trouble finding info on the various Mario toys that are available? They're not hard to find in stores, but I've been wanting to find reviews of what's been available in the past few years (including the PVCs). I can find all kinds of photos, but I'm having trouble finding...
