    Muppet Books Available on 2/11/2014

    I already found a copy of the Muppets Most Wanted junior novelization. Didn't buy it, but I did look at the first and last pages (I'll be surprised if the movie has the same ending).

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

    In two episodes of The Muppet Show, there's a group of full-body clowns, but both of their scenes feature black backgrounds. What's the deal with only putting those clowns in front of black backgrounds? They're costumed characters, they don't require the performers to dress in black and hide...

    Questions about anything

    In many episodes of The Wonder Years, when Winnie appears for the first time in an episode, there's often special music that plays. Kinda sounds like a guitar solo, with some "ah-ah-ah" sounds. Was this tune composed especially for the show (I'd like to call it "Winnie's Theme") or was it an...

    I think I've already seen pictures of The Swedish Chef and Sam the Eagle toys somewhere.

    Funko Pop Series 2

    Disney shouldn't be desperate for money. Disney could just, you know, release season four of The Muppet Show. Or, if Disney was really desperate but didn't want to get music cleared, they could release every little Muppet production that doesn't require music clearances (most of which are...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    The Muppet Mindset has posted a review: http://themuppetmindset.blogspot.com/2014/02/book-review-muppets-character.html I kind of hope that tomorrow's Weekly Muppet Wednesday spotlights a character not in this book (who could have legally been included). Of course I don't know whether the...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    Actually, under "likes" the whole thing says that he likes "breakfast, lunch, and dinner (he's not much of a dessert person)". I keep forgetting which spelling is "dessert" and which is "desert", and didn't feel like checking the page. And it is kind of funny that he likes all three meals but...

    Looking at the Sweetums page, I find it interesting it says Sweetums likes "Breakfast, lunch, and dinner". Somehow I feel it would have been better to just say he liked breakfast, as a nod to The Frog Prince where he wanted Robin for breakfast (apparently, having Robin for lunch, dinner, or just...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Top ten characters I wish weren't "put on a bus" or given Chuck Cunningham syndrome. 1. Kirk Devane (Newhart) 2. Leslie Vanderkellen (Newhart) 3. Coach Cutlip (The Wonder Years) 4. John Burns (Taxi) 5. Laurie Foreman (That '70s Show) 6. Chuck Cunningham (Happy Days) 7. Corine Tate (Soap) 8...

    What We'd Like to See for Old School Vol. 4

    Well, volume 3 has episode 1836, which has a few scenes where Maria seems to believe that Snuffy is real (or at least is initially willing to check Big Bird's nest and later wait for Snuffy with Big Bird, before Olivia stops her). Even though reportedly the 16th season premiere involves Maria...

    Lips was there but he didn't play the trumpet (I don't think Zoot played the saxophone either).

    TV Alert: The Muppets on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Finale February 7

    I didn't watch the whole show in its original broadcast (and it's actually not often I make an effort to catch Muppet appearances on shows I don't watch... It sort of feels weird that the only Late Night with Jimmy Fallon I've seen was his last), but I just now watched the opening monologue...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    One thing I wonder: With a lot of new information given to existing characters, and this book's lack of behind-the-scenes information, I wonder if any errors in the book (besides listing incorrect first appearances for characters, if there are any errors on first appearances) would count as...

    So when was Fraggle Rock typically broadcast?

    Wow, that's later than I would have expected. Almost prime time hours.

    I know that Vogel is/was part of a band (The Mighty Weaklings). Though I don't know whether his role in that band includes singing.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    Really? I keep looking at the content listing page on Muppet Wiki and Frackles is not listed. I guess it might be an oversight. And by Green Frackle, it is Gloat, right, and not the one that's also known as Green Scoff (that characters design was labeled "Green Frackle", but was actually...

    Maybe Sam and Friends is included for historical sake (though it could have just been mentioned in the Kermit section). I know that The Jim Henson Company recently rebuilt Yorick for Puppet Up, and the company did put a Sam and Friends clip (with Kermit, no less) on its YouTube channel. But I...

    So when was Fraggle Rock typically broadcast?

    Something I've been wondering lately: During the original run, what days/time of days was the show typically broadcast? I assume it was once a week (there's not enough episodes for it to have been a daily show, unless it just lasted a season or two). Was it broadcast on Saturday morning? Any...
