    My Muppet Show App Discussion/Updates

    I managed to digitize Janice for the main stage during this limited time availability (I guess it helps that I have everybody you can get on the stage). I had to dismiss some spare Divettes and Rats before getting Janice, which isn't a big deal, but it gets me thinking, since you can only...

    Sprout and Noggin

    Sprout cuts Sesame Street episodes? I thought it was a commercial-free channel, so there's really no reason to cut segments out (well, I know that Elmo's World: Transportation was replaced with a different segment in a season 30 episode_.

    A Breakdown of the Series' Timeline

    Although I already did a detailed breakdown of the timeline, I'm going to redo it, more like a list and with things I didn't think to say at first. The Gold: 1969-1984 Part 1: 1969-1970 There's less characters. Less humans, less recurring Muppets, and less performers. Most weeks are sponsored...

    Experiences with "I'll Miss You, Mr. Hooper"

    Well, I first saw the clip in the special Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting. I was born in 1984, shortly after Mr. Hooper died, so I wasn't too familiar with him. So for about a decade and maybe a half my main exposure to Mr. Hooper was through Christmas Eve on Sesame Street and a few books...

    A Breakdown of the Series' Timeline

    Another thing about the timeline is that from the 1980s until the very late 1990s, it was rare for Jim or Frank's characters to appear in street scenes, the usual exception being in a movie, special, or book. I noticed this even as a kid (one who not only didn't know they were puppets, but who...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    So we get two new Guy Smiley and Cookie Monster pairings this season?

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    I'm pretty sure that Michael Earl performed Forgetful for all of season 12. Michael Earl was let go after the season, it'd make more sense the character would be replaced after instead of before. In fact there is another Forgetful Jones segment that was remade, where Clementine helps...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Right now I have You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon stuck in my head. It's such a great song that I don't exactly hear often (well, until last week). And just last week I saw the music video for the first time. Great video.

    The Muppets and Lady Gaga in new Christmas special November 28 on ABC

    Well, I wasn't really sure if Elton was British or American, but thought he lived in America at the time of The Muppet Show (which would have been after he had been famous). Of course for years I've been surprised that certain talents would forget that they were involved with certain...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    It's actually called Charlie's Auto Repair? I had no idea. I wonder if this is the same Charlie that Grover works for.

    I thought he was based in America regardless.

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Last night I dreamt that I was watching The Muppet Revue, and it had short transitions that were clips from the first three movies, in some cases characters were rotoscoped (I think that's the right word) out of clips into other clips. And it wasn't just Muppet movies... One Muppet clip had...

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

    I keep hearing that big cities like New York City are more expensive to live in, but they have large populations. Shouldn't they be cheaper if they have a lot more people living there and paying for things?

    No more classic episodes to be released in the near future

    If they need an archivist, I'd be willing to take the job for free, in exchange for being allowed to come to the vaults anytime to screen episodes to myself and being given free copies of a few full episodes and rare skits, and maybe to be allowed to provide input on Sesame Street video...

    The Muppets and Lady Gaga in new Christmas special November 28 on ABC

    And also, Cheech Marin voiced both a chihuahua and a hyena. And both Cheech and Chong were in Ferngully (with Robin Williams). It is interesting, I know that Robin Williams has been in a number of R-rated movies, but I don't associate him as an R-rated star. I think he's done just as many...

    The Muppets and Lady Gaga in new Christmas special November 28 on ABC

    But is RuPaul the personae or the person? I assumed that this special would have the real person, as opposed to the real person on drag.

    The "You know what?" thread

    When Batman was canceled, NBC almost picked up the show. If NBC went through with picking up the show, then it wouldn't have been on the "same Bat channel".
