So do pre-season 20 episodes of The Simpsons get shown in syndication anymore? It seems like whenever I watch the show in syndication, it's a widescreen episode. Of course, with the first 16 seasons on DVD, that's not a big loss (but then there's four seasons not widely available for fans to...

I've read about an episode where Antonio's birthday was celebrated, and this clip (which appears on the 40th anniversary DVD set) comes from that episode. Was Antonio one of the kids seen in this clip?

Well, I just finished the book. Turns out some of the productions that I thought weren't mentioned do end up being mentioned, mostly in the "notes" section acknowledging various sources. There's one note about the properties Jim Henson had purchased back from ITC, listing all productions...

I wonder if there'll be multiple variations of the theme with the Muppets dressed for different countries. I wasn't expecting Mexico to be one of their stops. I assumed they'd be traveling over Europe and European countries (not exactly sure if Russia is part of Europe), but wouldn't it be...

It's interesting how many chapters focus more on certain projects than others, while also talking about what else was going on at the time, and those projects that do get most of the focus in a given chapter still get talked about a bit in future chapters (mainly TV shows that were still in...

It is great to finally know what that season premier is about. I wonder if those three all actually believe Big Bird in that episode, or if it's all in different episodes of the season. I could see that quote referring to the season more than the episode, and I feel it would make more sense...

Well, I have a couple of chapters left before finishing. It's great. The Muppet Mindset review had said that this talks about every production Jim worked on, but it doesn't. There's a few I was curious about that aren't mentioned, at least according to the index (unless they are and just...

This is probably for another thread, but I wonder if a DVD set dedicated to every version of the various songs that have been remade would sell well. Of course it'd probably take more than a disc for every version of The People in Your Neighborhood or One of These Things (and there has been an...

With this segment finally seen, I wonder what the next "holy grail" will be (well, we still haven't seen the full original version of Rubber Duckie, or the full 1972 version of ABC-DEF-GHI, and there's the "Surprise!" song with the human cast that some of us seem to think of as holy grails. And...

Back to what I was asking earlier about pitching a series.... So networks/companies want a test pilot as opposed to reading a long detailed pitch explaining the show, and the networks/companies fund the pilots... So how does one convince them to fund a pilot? I doubt they would fund a pilot...

I don't really understand the ending. The two get together and Arthur says "we got to stop meeting like this"... What's he mean(I guess they got to stop looking out their windows to talk as opposed to being right together....? But they were in the same house already)? And when the hippie-like...

Another DVD idea I had is one that focuses on various characters thoughout the year. Sort of like a second "Best of Friends", except each segment per character section would be from a different decade or era, to show them through the years. Though depending on character some might have multiple...

Yay we see a new version of the opening! And this time all the archs are filled! Having trouble making out who all is in that, though. Even when paused I'm having trouble seeing who some are (or maybe they're just whatnots and not really important). I see some who weren't in the archs in The...

I don't know who did the animation, but I wonder if it's by the same company responsible for this almost-as-weird, almost-as-creepy piece: I wouldn't be surprised if they were both done by the same people. It's a shame Sesame Workshop doesn't put out an official guide (whether in print...

I wonder if there will be pages grouping most species. I figure there'll be pages for Penguins, Chickens, Rats, and most likely Frogs and Pigs. But I wonder about other animals, like Dogs. There aren't really multiple Muppet dogs who look alike (except Muppy and Rufus). Obviously Rowlf will get...

I am amazed by how long each chapter is. Not that it's a bad thing, but it feels like each chapter takes at least an hour to get through. Even if I don't stop reading to do something else like eat or go to the bathroom. I was reading one chapter while watching a two-hour movie (okay, I wasn't...

Some sequels I like better than the first: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York Back to the Future Part 2 (I think most fans like this one better than the first, though TV Tropes mentions the first under the "First Installment Wins" page) National Lampoon's European Vacation The Empire Strikes Back...

That clip appears in episode 1899.

Old people stereotypically tend to say "back in my days..." (I say "sterotypically" because I don't think I've ever seen an actual old person in person say that or "when I was your age...", though I like to use those terms despite not being old yet), but when were an old person's days? And what...

What's the deal with Cheech and Chong being called Cheech and Chong? Cheech is his nickname, but usually the first name as far as stage names go (though he has sometimes been credited as Richard "Cheech" Marin, and sometimes even Richard Marin), while Chong is Tommy Chong's last name. They...
