I haven't done any "vs" threads in quite awhile, so I thought it be fun to do this thread, asking which is better: The Muppets on Puppets or The Secrets of the Muppets? Both are specials hosted by Jim Henson explaining how his characters work, with the Muppets being presented as real even...

It's interesting how in the introduction Kermit asks all the monsters who aren't included not to eat him for it, as it seems like it has almost every Muppet monster, at least of those introduced on The Muppet Show (and then some before, like Splurge, who was retired before the show began)...

Yesterday, I was watching an episode of Family Guy, which had a scene where Stewie was reading the first Garfield book, Garfield at Large, and he mentions that Garfield hates Nermal, as if that's part of the book. But Nermal doesn't appear in Garfield at Large. In fact, his first appearance...

Interestingly, the cover image looks different from the other Sesame Street releases from Warner Bros. (it looks more like a Sony Wonder cover). I wonder if Warner is changing its style for Sesame covers. And in the last two years, most of the DVD covers noted "Over 2 hours of fun!" (in some...

Yeah I had that on the back of my mind and was going to say that but forgot.

I just saw a "Sesame Bits" comic which promotes a new DVD called Elmo and Friends, yet I had been unaware of such a DVD. Anybody know anything about this (I can't find anything online)? I'm hoping it's like a sequel to "Best of Friends". EDIT: Muppet Wiki now has info, but says it comes out...

It's interesting that Jim Henson chose not to be a director on Sesame Street because he thought it'd slow him down as a performer, because he had directed a lot of productions he performed in, both before and after. I assume he directed every episode of Sam and Friends (well, maybe not the ones...

Well, after looking at that section, it seems the Snowth, Cute, and a few other Koozebanians are all featured in an image where they are taking The Newsman away. I haven't seen this image before, but I guess it doesn't exactly mean that the Snowths are from Koozebane (it could just be that a...

One thing I had wondered which is confirmed by me reading the book is the fact that there's no humans pictured in this (well, actually, the Nigel page has an image of the control room, including some monitors that have a human on them, though I can't tell who that human is, and one of Paul...

Top ten times "Two and a Half Men" jumped the shark: 10. when the show continued after Charlie Sheen got fired (even though I like the Ashton Kutcher episodes a little better) 9. when Rose apparently got away with killing Charlie (but Rose is so cute I'll let that slide) 8. when Alan went from...

Are the Simpsons "Complete Guide" books still in print separately? It seems the first "Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family" used to be easier to find in stores than the follow-up books (the sequels seemed to only be easy to find around the time they came out. Good thing I got those...

I'd like to know what the most uneccessary pieces of Garfield and Peanuts merchandise are. These days I don't really see much Garfield merchandise in stores (mainly books at my local Books-A-Million). I think I only vaguely seeing a lot of Garfield stuff in gift shops in the past. Though I...

Well, Tough Pigs visited Toy Fare, and according to a representative at Funko, Sam and the Swedish Chef are the only new Muppet figures coming out: http://www.toughpigs.com/fair-play-2014/

I got the book today. Enjoyed looking through it. I haven't even fully read every page yet (I've read most). Somehow I expected the Sam and Friends section to only include images from The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years (well, a promotional image, that's definitely not a still)...

Bill Watterson refused to license Calvin and Hobbes merchandise because he thought licensing would ruin the comic strip, thinking it'd ruin the integrity and that when characters are licensed the creators tend to find making them marketable/profitable a bigger priority than making them funny or...

I recently wrote an article about Darkwing Duck on The Mickey Mindset: http://mickeymindset.blogspot.com/2014/02/why-darkwing-duck-is-such-great-show.html

I have not yet seen a copy of The Muppets Character Encyclopedia in stores, but last night I dreamt that I found a copy. It was bigger than I had expected (other people have said it's smaller than they expected. I don't know what they expected, but I thought it'd be the size of DK's "Ultimate...

Looking at the Tough Pigs review, there's an image of the two-page spread with both Nigels. In the one with the conductor, one of the images is from The Muppets when Thog got stuck in an arch. Was that really an image to use (I would have expected that to be on the Thog page)? I know Nigel and...

Top ten underrated Weird Al Yankovic songs (I wanted to call the list "top ten Weird Al songs nobody has heard of", but I guess either title serves a similar purpose): 10. Such a Groovy Guy 9. That Boy Could Dance 8. Syndicated, Inc. 7. Stop Dragging My Car Around 6. Don't Wear Those...

Yeah there was a reporter for E! named John Henson. It would be sad if it was our John Henson (well, it's still a bad thing regardless of which John Henson it is), especially since he's the youngest of the Henson children.
