    The "You know what?" thread

    I already said this in the "you ever notice... and what's the deal?" thread, but I think it should be said here. In the song 1985, they say that the woman's "two kids, in high school, tell her that she's uncool, 'cause she's still preoccupied with 1985". But at the time the song came out...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Last night I dreamt that I went to a store and saw various Muppet toys. Most of them were two-packs, though a few of the same characters were also packaged with others (I've seen toys of The Looney Tunes Show sold like this as well, with a Bugs Bunny packaged with Daffy and also a Bugs packaged...

    Questions about anything

    Andy Kauffman had the alternate identity of Tony Cliffton, and he kept the fact that they were the same a secret (though many eventually found out, and then he had others play the part). What did Andy do about residuals when playing Tony Cliffton (for whenever Tony acted on-screen)? Wouldn't the...

    The "Have You Ever Wondered..." Thread

    I've wondered that about Louie, Reverend Jim, and Latka on Taxi.

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    I''d like that, too. Though I don't think of Mega Man as a legend, because I don't remember playing the games as a kid or even knowing about Mega Man back then (I recently purchased a few of the PlayStation 2 anniversary collections of the games... and boy are they all hard!).

    I used to think Tails was a girl. Can't remember when I learned otherwise.

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

    In that song "1985", they say that the woman's "two kids, in high school" think she's uncool because she's preoccupied with 1985. But wasn' tthe 1980s considered cool by the time the song came out? And aren't high school students the best judges of what's cool? Or did I just think the 1980s were...

    Vote in my online awards show - The Pointless Awards!

    Well, voting ended a few days ago, and nobody voted. Not here, not on facebook or twitter, not in the comments section of the nomination videos (well, one user did post some write-in votes regarding the pop culture categories, but I'm not counting those). But just because nobody voted doesn't...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    Today I thought of another arrangement of what I'd do for a 45th anniversary DVD collection. I thought perhaps it could include a selection of all the signature songs of the main characters (Rubber Duckie, C is for Cookie, The Song of the Count, etc.) and a few essential songs most associated...

    Jim Henson's 1971 Number Films

    Here's the "Seven Monsters" film: Back in 2009, somebody from Muppet Wiki contacted Karen Falk, who mentioned that Jim made films for the first three seasons. I know he did a #12 film called Raisin Army, I guess that must be from the third season (unless he did two #12 films in the same year).

    Marvel prepares Muppet Omnibus

    The press release IS confusing. And how do we know the "preview" comic isn't among them (it would be great if they'd include the Pigs in Space comic that was left out of the first trade paperback). I guess a good release strategy would be for this to have the preview comic and the first...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    I thought that recurring segments often had many installments per season. Okay, so all recurring segments from JHH (Hurting Something and Merlin MD) only had two each (while Bootsy and Brad, the non-Muppet segment, got a few more???), and most of the recurring segments on Muppets Tonight only...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    For a long time I thought the Food episode might have been the first one, then I learned that the one with Bobby McFerrin (officially titled "First Show") was the first. Mainly because of the band being a bit different and an article from Muppet Magazine depicted the band that way, but since...

    Ernie during the Around the Corner era

    It seems like even though Steve Whitmire took over in 1993 that there weren't too many new Ernie appearances between 1993 and 1998. Maybe I'm wrong (in the past few years I have found on Muppet Wiki that a few of Whitmire's Ernie segments that were in episodes during that time). I often wonder...

    The Sonic the Hedgehog Thread

    I forgot about the human girlfriend Sonic was going to have. She was quite hot. It's a shame she didn't make it as a character. Though I wonder if she would have worked with the format of the games (would she have needed to constantly be rescued? Would she have teamed up with Sonic, like how...

    So when you get the kitchen stage, do all your characters transfer or do you have to digitize them again?

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Last night I dreamt I went to a store that had copies of some of The muppet Show compilation videos for under a dollar, and yet I didn't purchase all of them, just three -The Muppet Revue, The Kermit and Piggy Story, and Children's Songs and Stories. They also had Muppet Moments and either...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    Last night I dreamt that I saw this, and it was a lot different from how it's been described (for example, it had a boy instead of a girl).
