    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    I would have preferred Danny DeVito to have played Boris, and he also has basically the same hair line (in addition to being short and often playing mean, greedy characters), but it's still good. Alexander made a better Boris than Dave Thomas, who played Boris in the obscure Boris and Natasha...

    TV shows only you seem to like.

    I liked the show Baby Bob, but it seems nobody else did. Well, my parents liked it as well, and I think my brother liked it, but I barely knew anyone else who even saw or was aware of it (and I asked my classmates... In fact around this time there were quite a few shows I watched that didn't...

    Old Nick Appreciation Thread

    I found a great blog about Doug. I think it covers every episode of both the Nickelodeon and Disney versions (but I haven't read every entry yet). But it does have some mild profanity, though. http://dougfunniesjournal.blogspot.com/

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

    Is there something funny about Bermuda Shorts? There have been times when I've seen people laugh at the mention of the term, and yet I don't really get what's so funny about bermuda shorts. I first heard of the term after being familiar with the fact that Weird Al Yankovic's drummer goes by...

    Questions about anything

    Is the term "slap on the wrist" as a punishment an expression or does it actually mean getting slapped on the wrist? I've seen programs where it was mentioned as a punishment for people who did unlawful things, and usually it was the only punishment (though there's a Rocky and Bullwinkle...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    When it comes to the possibility of a 45th anniversary DVD, I'd like for Sesame Workshop to do what they did for the 40th: Have fans nominate clips they'd like to see included. But I'd also like them to combine that with what they did for the Best of Friends DVD, where fans could only vote (and...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    People will likely believe that rumor regardless of whether the song's available to see or hear. Besides, both DVD releases of that song also have the segment where Cookie Monster clears up the rumor to Matt Lauer (not sure if that's the reason for including that sketch or not). In fact, my list...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    Regarding what I thought for an anniversary album, here's a selection of songs I thought up (which I think would be a realistic way to go); Disc 1: Essentials 1. Sesame Street Theme... The Kids 2. Rubber Duckie... Ernie 3. C is for Cookie... Cookie Monster 4. What I Am... Will.I.Am and the...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    I'd like to see a new (physical) anniversary album, even though it'd most likely have tracks we've heard many times. But I could also see it having unreleased tracks from the last 10-15 years. I'd also like it to have all or most of the songs I listed in my two Muppet Mindset articles listing...

    Jim Henson's Red Book

    Here's some info on a project I hadn't heard about until it was mentioned on the Red Book a few days ago (and I started a Muppet Wiki page for it afterwards): http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2013/06/21/620-211984/ Jim Henson wanted to do a video collection called "Pet Home Video", writing...

    My Muppet Show App Discussion/Updates

    It seemed interesting, until I read about using actual money to purchase things, and also about how it can take a few days to fully load something (can you pause the loading if needed and restart from there later?). I wonder if any minor or obscure characters appear in the game.

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    Recently I've been thinking that maybe they can release three separate DVDs (and maybe a boxed set for all three), each representing a 15-year period (I doubt we'll get three discs that are only available together). Volume 1 would be the best of seasons 1-15, volume 2 the best of seasons 16-30...

    TV Tropes

    One thing I wonder about examples pages: Why is it that some pages list puppet shows under "Live-Action Television", but others have a "Puppet Shows" section? Especially since most pages that have the "Puppet Shows" sections usually only have one or two examples.

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

    Why are there some sitcoms, Taxi and Newhart being the only that come to mind off-hand, that have tags for half the episodes and don't have tags for others?

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

    What's the deal with Winnie the Pooh being called Winnie the Pooh? Is Winnie a name that can normally be male or female? Because the only other Winnie I know of is from The Wonder Years. And Pooh... Sounds like Poo. Besides, he's a bear. And they rarely refer to Winnie the Pooh as Winnie...

    Old School Sesame Street Live (1980-1999)

    For some reason the full-body Herry looks weird. But he didn't appear in many Sesame Street Live shows (could that be why?). For some reason I feel like his face here looks more like it looked in the late-1980s/1990s. At least I don't think the regular puppets face looked that way at the...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Last night I dreamt that I rented The Kermit and Piggy Story, and some of the clips were replaced or removed. And I was sure that it was the one existing release and not a rerelease. Most notably, this copy included Raquel Welch's "Baby It's Me" number (despite not having Kermit or Miss Piggy)...

    Rumor: Muppets Stage Show

    I'd like to see the presentation tape. I guess I know what to add to my wishlist of bonus features on the Muppet Show Season Four (or five) DVD. I wonder if they'll record a performance and put on on DVD or TV. Have any Broadway performances ever been recorded and released to the at-home...
