So does anybody know why early TV broadcasts of The Great Muppet Caper had the Universal logo at the beginning? I thought ITC Entertainment was the original distributor of Henson's first three feature films, but I have seen Universal listed as a distributor on websites like Internet Movie...

It seems like the Tom and Jerry: The Movie commercials barely showed any scenes with them talking. I remember once seeing a commercial with a clip from the "Friends to the End" song and thought, "Is Tom talking in that scene?", but still didn't think much about it until I finally saw the movie...

With Sesame it shouldn't be hard to determine - anything Sesame Street or Sesame-related is owned by Sesame Workshop (but Sesame Workshop doesn't own any crossovers with the Muppets). In fact The Jim Henson Company only owned the rights to the characters and the distribution rights to one...

On November 12 there will be a "Best of Sesame Street" box set, featuring The Best of Elmo, Guess That Shape and Color, Elmo's World: What Makes You Happy, Singing with the Stars, and... well, I can't remember what else off-hand. I feel like some of the choices are odd, but maybe the selection...

In the speculations for the 45th anniversary thread, I posted a desire for Sesame Street to do a "Classics Collection" line of DVDs every other month. One thing I thought would be good would be if the first release was Old School Volume 4 (if we don't get one this year) and ended the year with a...

I think I'm one of the biggest Weird Al fans on this forum, so now I'll present... My top 10 least favorite Weird Al Yankovic songs! 10. Happy Birthday 9. My Bologna 8. Young, Dumb, and Ugly 7. Perform This Way 6. Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies 5. Waffle King 4. You Don't...

Yeah, Big Bird's Reading Hotline.... I guess your post mixed up my brain signals.

Now I'm thinking it would be great if Sesame Workshop would celebrate the anniversary with a special "classics collection" of DVDs, I'm thinking put out one every other month (which would give us six in one year), alternating each month with the releases of DVDs aimed at the shows current...

And while I don't think it was neccessarily a "show within a show", there's Big Bird's Number Show in Getting Ready to Read.

Top ten movies I liked a LOT better when they were new than I do now (even if I do still like most of them fairly well): 10. The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland 9. Muppets from Space 8. Muppet Treasure Island 7. The Dark Crystal 6. Looney Tunes: Back in Action 5. Super Mario Bros. 4. Big...

I wonder if The Jim Henson Hour would qualify then. Of course that still doesn't explain why the cult classics page has The Simpsons, South Park, Looney Tunes, or Peanuts specials on there.

Hmm, you know, I often have trouble understanding the definition, even when reading it. The Muppets are and have been popular, but a number of fans here have mentioned that the fandom often seems "underground". I saw Looney Tunes and various Peanuts specials and movies (including the two...

I've found the Cult Classics page, and I am shocked to see that The Muppet Show and Muppet movies are not listed (ditto for anything Sesame Street). I would think that would be popular enough (at least as popular as Looney Tunes, which is listed). There's a few other shows I don't see listed...

Was Disney the last studio to NOT put its newer movies on video within a year of release? I know that when Disney started The Disney Channel and Walt Disney Home Video the company was still rereleasing its animated films in theaters every few years, and had an official list of shorts that would...

This might be a hard one, but does anybody know what the last theatrically-released movie (at least in the US) was that has not been released on any video formats? Not really counting rereleases (like the Song in the South).
