    Automatonophobic mother fears daughter might buy a Muppet toy

    Well, for the last several years it hasn't been that easy to find a Kermit toy in stores, though it was a bit more common when The Muppets came out (and hopefully for us there'll be more when Muppets Most Wanted comes out - or maybe she'll get her wish and there once again won't be much tie-in...

    Happy Birthday Matt Vogel!

    No, Bill Barretta only did Lew for It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie and (the extended version of) The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. Matt has been Lew since 2008.

    Happy Birthday Matt Vogel!

    I didn't know it was his birthday. Maybe there should be a birthday banner for him at Muppet Central (though it's been a long time since any new ones were added). It could have Big Bird and '80s Robot in addition to some of Jerry Nelson's characters he has taken over.

    The Sonic the Hedgehog Thread

    A few months ago, I read on TV Tropes that the original coding for Sonic CD is lost, which is why it was left out of the Sonic Mega Collection. And it was said that in order for it to be included on the Sonic Gems Collection, they used a hack of the PC version. And the current digital release is...

    The Chipmunks

    I was first exposed to the Chipmunks through Alvin and the Chipmunks. Then I saw the Alvin Show designs, first when the shorts were shown on Nickelodeon's Weinerville and then when Nick aired The Alvin Show (and it seems two of the Chipmunks Sing-Along videos were compilations of the music...

    The Great Space Coaster

    Oh, you know, recently I was wondering if there was a difference between royalties and residuals.

    The Great Space Coaster

    I assumed that residuals are what the songwriters get when their songs are used, and I've read that the show had a lot of established songs (much like The Muppet Show did) and that it would cost a lot to clear for DVD releases. It seems I often learn different things about residuals. I had...

    Roosevelt Franklin may return in Sesame Street Season 45

    One thing I wonder about is, was Roosevelt really used that much in the first three seasons? I recently saw a magazine article about the second season (it was pictured on the Red Book site) which mentioned Roosevelt Franklin as if he was a new character for the season, though he had starred in...

    The Muppets Character Encyclopedia coming Feb. 7 2014

    If it's in alphabetical order, then I'd expect Andy Pig to be listed before Animal. The official description does mention Andy and Randy Pig, though it's possible they're just mentioned/included in a section on Miss Piggy. I feel it might also be cool if there could be sections on various...

    Taz-Mania! It's about freaking time!

    Has anybody seen any copies of the Taz-Mania DVDs? Two volumes have been out, and I haven't found any copies anywhere. Not at Target, Wal-Mart, or Best Buy, and those places usually have Warner Home Videos family market releases (of course I have also never found a copy of the Porky Pig DVD that...

    The Great Space Coaster

    It has been said that music rights are one of the main factors in keeping the show from getting a DVD release.

    There was an Austin Powers cartoon series (or plans for one)?

    Roosevelt Franklin may return in Sesame Street Season 45

    Most of the classroom segments I have seen don't really seem to show the class acting too rowdy, aside from throwing paper airplanes (but then they do stop when Roosevelt shows up). Segments like "Morty Moot Mope", "Bad Luck to be Borna Duck", the poison segment, "Talking Loud/Talking Soft"...

    The Great Space Coaster

    I recall reading an FAQ, which had one question that was basically asking if they'd save a certain episode, and the response was that they only have episode numbers (and I think dates), meaning they don't know what episode each master tape is without watching them. So does that mean they don't...

    Remember that 2002 Fox Network Pitch?

    I don't care either way whether the Muppets do Simpsons/Family Guy/Robot Chicken/Greg the Bunny-style adult humor or the family friendly kind they are better known for. I remember when this series was announced, it was announced that the show would be edgier. Of course I only expected it to be...

    1980 Muppet Festival

    Oh. I thought this was part of the special. I wonder what Muppet stuff was not featured in the special. It would be great if the whole special would be online, either in multiple parts or as one whole video.

    Lost Media Wiki

    I think I read somewhere on TV Tropes that the original coding for Sonic CD is lost. Hard to believe that they'd lose something like that for a 1990s video game (even if it was for a system not many people bought). That's why Sonic CD wasn't included on the PlayStation 2 compilation Sonic Mega...

    Roosevelt Franklin may return in Sesame Street Season 45

    I'm pretty sure that Matt did continue performing his voice for at least a few years after he stopped playing Gordon. Roosevelt did have a speaking part during Hal Miller's first scene as Gordon, and Roscoe Orman did perform Hard Head Henry Harris (though Harris' voice does sound a bit more like...

    The Muppets Character Encyclopedia coming Feb. 7 2014

    In thinking about how it'll be laid out, I've been thinking, if it's not arranged by productions, it would be cool if there was a musicians chapter. Featuring at least a full page for Rowlf and each member of The Electric Mayhem, followed by sections on other Muppet bands and groups. It would be...

    1980 Muppet Festival

    That was part of the special Here Comes the Puppets. I thought the Muppet stuff was spread among other puppet acts, but watching this it seems as if they were all shown back-to-back-to-back (though I've read that Jim Henson hosted the special.... are there hosting segments not online?). I know...
