This has been a great interview so far. I think this is the first time Kathy Mullen did a big interview, especially for a Muppet fan site, so there's a lot I didn't know. I'm hoping that someday Tough Pigs or The Muppet Mindset (or maybe even Muppet Central) can score an interview with Camille...

Looks like a great trailer. So far Rizzo and Pepe are the only characters from that first promotional image to be spotted.

One thing I wonder, since these documents were sold online, I wonder if Disney has multiple copies. Or if Disney scanned the info on a computer file. It'd be a shame if somebody at Disney just carelessly sold all legal documents on what they have and what Henson still has. I've read some...

Regarding them not being allowed to release this, I wonder if it's just to fans or commercially altogether. Maybe the animator is one of those who is hard to negotiate with (do we know what other animated inserts he's done for the show?). I don't know what the deal was with that one fan who...

So glad footage from Here Come the Puppets was uploaded. I've been looking for footage online for years. At first I thought the reason I had trouble finding it was because it was listed as "Festival 1980", but then saw that it was actually uploaded today. Is it just me or does it sound like...

I had no idea the program guides actually separated 15-minute parts of the show and referred to the minutes. I also didn't realize they listed the minutes of individual segments. I'd expect that on a private CTW document (one not meant to be released to the public) but not a program guide sent...

I found a pre-completed copy of a Twiddlebugs sketch, from before the voices were sped-up. I assume this is a "real" copy (as in nobody slowed down the actual footage) but I wonder how they obtained it. It's cool hearing how they really sounded like before the voices were sped-up (Papa and Mama...

Now I remember one of the commercials I couldn't find! There's one from 1995 where a kid gives his school report, talking about his trip to Walt Disney World. Most of what he says sounds off-the-wall/made-up out-of-context (and he doesn't really specifically where he went), and at the end...

Ever notice how in media, bald characters with hair around the sides of their heads are often referred to as having no hair? They still have the hair that goes around the back of their heads, so it's not like they are completely hairless (though still definitely bald). Like in one episode of...

It's great to see so many classic commercials online, and I especially like the various YouTube compilations of commercials from certain eras. But there are also many commercials I'd like to see again that I can't find on YouTube. And now, all of a sudden, I can't remember what I wanted to...

I don't know if the user who posted this thread was aware of that thread (though it has come back recently so it's more likely that he saw it), but that thread's about asking what the appeal of retro commercials are. This one comes off more as a thread about our favorite classic commercials in...

This was great. Where'd you find the info?

Wow, I've seen all of those commercials online, and two out of three on TV ("Where's the beef?" I've seen on TV Land as a retromercial). One of my favorites is this Game Boy Pocket ad with teenagers and old people bickering. And there's also this Nestlie Quick commercial (which...

I'm pretty sure that it wasn't, though to be very sure one would need to see every episode from the late 1980s. It would have made a good regular episode (so would Learning About Letters).

Or that they never complain that Mario's hair and mustache changed colors from black (on the Super Mario bros. 2 artwork) to brown?

Well, the page about this clip mentions an episode that it appeared in. I searched the Muppet Wiki page for that episode, and I sure was surprised. I didn't think it was mentioned on the wiki (except for in talk pages).

Well, I made a parody of Kick Starter. Though the main character isn't an impression of any real filmmakers (big name or not), it is supposed to be the same idea, using Kick Starter for more money despite having a huge budget already. Yeah, I know that most people who donate a certain...

There is one thread I remember reading about a long time ago, I think it was in 2004 or 2005. Not quite sure if it'd be easy to find in search or what the best key word would be, but somebody started a thread long ago, saying that they were able to get Sesame Workshop to provide a DVD copy of...

A few things about the 1939 Wizard of Oz movie: What happened to Ms. Gultch after Dorthy came back? She was going to take Toto to the sheriff to have him put to sleep, he runs away, but at the end, after the dream, we never hear of her again (technically we hadn't heard from her since she was...

Is it just me, or do most TV shows that heavily involve school have the assistant principal be more involved than the main principal? Characters like Mr. Bones on Doug and Mr. Woodman (who I think eventually got promoted to principal in the last season) on Welcome Back, Kotter. When I was in...
