    Questions about anything

    Something I've been wondering, and maybe I should watch the DVDs myself until I can determine it, but at what point during the run of The Simpsons did Flanders become "Flanderized"? I had assumed it was during the second or third season (on the first season commentary it was mentioned that...

    John Tartaglia Interview

    That was a good interview. Interesting how he joined when he was 16. I didn't think a Muppet performer could join when that young. I never knew about J.J., or Kingston's gang. I wonder if any clips are online. I searched for the character on Muppet Wiki but couldn't find him. John...

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    Suddenly, I wonder if any additional animated segments might have been completed but never edited into the live-action episodes. Like if they completed some animation but CBS wasn't going to bring it back until they had enough completed shows, and then canceled it. When thinking about the...

    Flanderized Muppets?

    Hmm, you know, the original script for the String Quartet sketch referred to Mahna Mahna as "Harry", even though he's not identified by name in the script.

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

    What's the deal with the fact that the original Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island soundtracks were not released on Walt Disney Records? Disney owned the distribution rights to those films, so probably could have. It makes sense that MCC was released by BMG Kidz though the Jim...

    The Great Muppet Caper and Muppet Treasure Island coming to Blu-ray December 10

    With the current announcement that it'll include "Let the Good Shine Out" but supposedly won't include the whole MTI Sing-Along video (as far as we currently know), I wonder what it would be like if all of Disney's Muppet movie DVDs contained clips from existing productions... Like if The...

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

    I have noticed bad language in PG movies, but very few G movies, normally just the "H" word (examples including The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, and Muppet Treasure Island). And in those cases it seems like less of a big deal to me than South Park airing in...

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

    Really? There's still G-rated movies? And they have swearing? I had no idea there was swearing in G-rated movies. Man, why am I so behind on these kinds of things regarding modern pop culture?

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

    Lately I've noticed that Comedy Central has been showing reruns of South Park during daytime hours. Really??? Given how vulgar the show is,I'm surprised they can consider putting it on during the daytime. Now that I think about it, should I also wonder how any channel can show reruns of...

    Marvel prepares Muppet Omnibus

    If this is every issue of the comic book, I wonder how expensive it will be (over or under 100 dollars?). Of course I have every issue in some way (whether individually or as four-issue collections) so I don't have to worry about the expense here (I might if they did one with all of the Muppet...

    The "Have You Ever Wondered..." Thread

    I wonder if there is a DVD of anything that has EVERY possible bonus feature there can be, or at least EVERY existing bonus feature related to the project. Every trailer, every TV spot, every outtake, deleted scene, pre- and post-rolls (though I don't really care about that), b-rolls...

    The Great Muppet Caper and Muppet Treasure Island coming to Blu-ray December 10

    I wonder if it is a clip or if there's actually a "music video" (as it was referred to) that we don't know about. The Sing-Along Video should be included (as should the behind-the-scenes special that aired on The Disney Channel)! Even though the Sing-Along isn't one of my favorites. Wouldn't...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    I wonder why the "First Show" wasn't broadcast as the first. It's a much stronger episode than "Outer Space" (could that have been broadcast first because science fiction was big then? has there been a time since the 1970s when science fiction WASN'T big?). For awhile had wondered if they wanted...

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

    Ever notice how there seems to be quite a few jokes about how the Rocky film series has had many sequels, but many of them seem to have come before it had an unusual number. And by today's standards would a film series with five or more installments really be considered a lot? There's only...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I remember reading a long time ago, I think the website was called Disney Ever Notice?, that the only characters from The Lion King to have walk-around versions are Timon and Rafiki (really? he's one of my least-favorite characters from the movie) because they are the only ones who walk on two...

    The "Have You Ever Wondered..." Thread

    I've wondered, on The Red Green Show, which recurring sketch was harder to write: The "Word Game" segments or the "Handyman Corner" segments. Both seem like they'd be complicated... The Word Games seem like they would be simple, but there is the task of finding creative ways for the contestants...

    Questions about anything

    Whenever a live-action movie or program has a scene where somebody shows a video they did on YouTube, and we actually see the video appear on YouTube (or a similar site) on their computer, do they actually put the video clip on YouTube, meaning anybody can see it? Or do they put it online but...

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

    In Man on the Moon, which was based on a true story but true story movies often change facts for drama and such, Andy Kauffman's manager didn't know that Andy Kauffman was Tony Cliffton until after Andy was offered a role on Taxi and his manager came to see Tony Cliffton perform. But shortly...
