    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    Looking at the production order list, I feel it does make a little bit of sense that Fitness was produced before Oceans, due to the Merlin sketches in them. In Fitness, the patient is "a guy with a sword stuck in his head", in Oceans, it's "a guy with a fish stuck through his head". I feel...

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

    For the last few days I've heard a song called Satisfied by Richard Marx on the radio, and to me the music for that sounds very similar to The Jim Henson Hour theme song. It's probably a coincidence, since both came out in 1989, but it is interesting.

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I didn't know he was Mr. Peabody. I thought he was one of the historical figures in this.

    Surprised to see that Brewster is (probably) in the movie. Of course I was also surprised to see him in the Character Encyclopedia (could his inclusion be because he's in this, even though the book didn't mention his involvement or picture any of his scenes from the movie?). Miss Poogy's...

    The junior novel of The Muppets avoided mentioning the names of any celebrity who had a part big enough to be mentioned in the book (referring to Jack Black merely as "a famous person"), but this book actually does mention one of the celebrities by name (Salma Hayek). Of course the book doesn't...

    Questions about anything

    What makes a work a "cult" hit or classic or whatever? I've thought about this for a long time. Recently I looked at a TV Tropes page for cult shows and movies and such and mentioned on the TV Tropes thread how I was surprised to see that Muppets and Sesame Street weren't included, and people...

    I said that it was an obscure character who didn't get any dialogue in the last film. While Robin was barely in the movie and didn't get any dialogue, I don't consider him an obscure character. Though he rarely has a major role in the movies. Seems he must be the most major and well-known...

    Well, I just finished reading the book. No, I don't plan on posting spoilers (unless you ask, and I'll send it as a private message). Some things from the trailer make more sense. There's some scenes that came before scenes I would have expected to come later. And something that I feel kinda...

    Muppet FREAKING Go-Gurt!

    Wow, there's a Bunsen-packaged Go-Gurt but not a Beaker one?

    Does Sesame Street still air classic segments?

    Really, 12 dollars? I recall the VHS tapes costing 10 dollars (okay, $9.99... maybe it was 12 when adding tax, but I don't remember paying 12 dollars for a Sesame Street VHS). But in the VHS/pre-internet era, it was harder to know what was on a video without either actually watching it or...

    Today I bought a copy of the junior novel, and I still haven't read it. I just glanced through a few pages. There's a few things that are different from what I expected based on the commercials. And there's an obscure character who gets a line who didn't have any dialogue in the previous movie...

    The "You know what?" thread

    So to swallow your pride means to do something you feel is below your standards. But how is that "swallowing your pride"? Shouldn't swallowing our pride make you more proud and less humble? Shouldn't it be called something like "spitting out your pride"?

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Well, I found a copy today, and it's a release of Elmopalooza and Elmo's World: Singing, Drawing, and More! That doesn't sound too bad. At least at Wal-Mart, it costs around $4.99, a deal considering those others wold cost at least ten dollars separately (assuming they are still in print on...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Thinking about "Elmo and Friends", whatever that is, I wonder if it could be like "Best of Friends", only with more Elmo. I could see it having about two Elmo segments in a row, then a section of skits on different characters, including one appearance with Elmo if possible. For example, it could...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    Yeah I find it odd that the most frequent recurring sketch is one that barely has any Muppets (could it have been featured more because it had live actors who otherwise wouldn't be working on the show?). I often wonder why each episode of MuppeTelevision and the various specials only had a...
