    Track Listing for Muppets Most Wanted Revealed!

    People have been complaining about Scooter singing "Moves Like Jagger" since a clip was in the movie, but this soundtrack says that Pepe will be included as well. So presumably Pepe and Scooter will interract, and Pepe will have a big scene. Though it's weird that in the title it says "Moves...

    Video: The Muppets Super Bowl Toyota Highlander Commercial with Terry Crews

    I was confused at first. I thought they were going to drive off without Crews.

    Questions about anything

    What's the name of the soup companies which would have commercials following this formula: A husband wants to get some soup, the wife looks at the soup can and remarks, "condenced soup? You're an adult now..." and gets him to eat some other kind of soup. I'd like to see (or make) a parody of...

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

    Could the light-skinned/dark-skinned thing be "truth in television"? I don't know the races of anybody here, but when it comes to black women I know, the light-skinned ones seem to be more pleasant while the darker ones seem like they have attitude problems. Or maybe it's just a coincidence.

    The Muppets Character Encyclopedia coming Feb. 7 2014

    Wouldn't it be great if the book told readers to learn more at Muppet Wiki? Like in a credits or acknowledgements section, or a "recommended reading" section? It had been confirmed awhile ago that this book wouldn't have any behind-the-scenes info (just stuff mentioned on-screen and made-up...

    Track Listing for Muppets Most Wanted Revealed!

    The soundtrack listing was released sooner than yesterday? Where was I when it was leaked? I had no idea.

    The Muppets Character Encyclopedia coming Feb. 7 2014

    Looking at these two-page spreads, it looks like Flash won't be included. What a shame. Also looks like Calico (the monocle-wearing pirate from Muppet Treasure Island) won't be in this. I wonder if other Koozebanian's will be included. I would have thought they'd all be included under an...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Last night I dreamt I was watching some family home movies from before I was born, and in going through old recordings found that my family just happened to have recorded a Sesame Street episode from season ten. Among the segments in my dream: A segment based on My Mother the Car, but with...

    The Muppets Character Encyclopedia coming Feb. 7 2014

    So with the Veterinarian's Hospital and Gonzo's Great Stunts pages, it looks like this book will have more than just character pages.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    Really? I thought that at least some of his performances in recent years weren't known about in advance. I don't remember hearing about him performing in seasons 42 or 43 in advance. After some of his season 43 appearances aired I heard that he had been on the set via one of the other performers...

    The Muppets Character Encyclopedia coming Feb. 7 2014

    I just realised: This book is coming out on February 7, and that's a friday this year. Is it normal for books to come out on Friday's? I was thinking they were released earlier in the week.

    Muppets Tonight what went wrong?

    I don't think any of the recurring segments were used much (not sure whether having only 22 episodes is a good enough excuse). The best recurring segments weren't used enough and, thankfully, the worst ones weren't used too much. I wonder if the show would have succeeded if it was only new...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    I thought it was said in that chapter that CBS was interested in airing it during the 7PM hour, but then the FCC made rules that each individual station air local or syndicated programming during that hour, and apparently CBS didn't want to air the show at a later hour.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    The Count has often appeared in street scenes over the years as well as inserts. And Cookie Monster is not just limited to inserts. Back in the 1970s it was common for Frank Oz to perform in street scenes, and ever since David Rudman took on the role of Cookie Monster he's been in a lot of...

    Most Annoying TV Series Ever?

    Right now, off-hand, when it comes to TV shows I've actually watched, the only shows I can think of are animated (I don't think I've actually posted in that other thread): Spongebob Squarepants (I liked it at first, then got bored within a few episodes) and Ed, Edd 'n Eddy (can't remember if I...

    Is Floyd a leftie?

    Floyd and Janice play their instruments left handed because their performers use their right hands to perform the bodies. But I think there's merchandise and photos that show them right-handed... For example the Floyd action figure is sculpted to play the bass right-handed. Though I was...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    Something has just occurred to me regarding the fact that the pilot was broadcast later yet was a much stronger episode than the first two broadcast ones. I had been wondering why they had that one broadcast later, but then I was reading in Jim Henson: The Biography that Henson did some...

    Flanderized Muppets?

    I wonder if The Amazing Mumford has been "flanderized". In his earliest sketches, he seems to be good at making magic the way it's intended, with his only trouble being a sketch where he tries to make a rabbit come out of his hat (accidentally turning Grover into a rabbit without realizing). But...

    The Muppets Character Encyclopedia coming Feb. 7 2014

    I wonder how some characters might be listed. Like there's one monster who's been referred to by a number of different names, including Pokey. But I recently read on Muppet Wiki that that puppet has a tag labeled "Anthony", a name that I don't think has been used. And I wonder if...
