I was just watching the episode of King of the Hill where Bobby takes a comedy class, and at the end, at the talent show, when he starts making fart sounds with his whoopie cushion, the principal takes him off the stage and afterwards he's in detention (presumably because of that). I can see...
I didn't realize new episodes were still being produced (though I did know that Comedy Central renewed the show a few years ago). I don't think I even realized that the show was still on the channel (reruns or otherwise) at all. It was a great show, but I think it's good that it's ending now (of...
I recently found this, a YouTube "closing to Children's Songs and Stories with the Muppets":
But the promo shown advertises the first seven videos, instead of the first four. It makes me wonder if later printings of the videos had longer promos (there are some videos I've rented and later...
I recently heard the song "Nobody", the recording from the Sesame Street Live! album. And I noticed in the lyrics Snuffy keeps saying "I guess I'll go to my house..." But Snuffy lives in a cave, not a house. And the house line doesn't go with any rhymes in the lyrics (he could have said cave or...
So... There were two episodes involving dog shows? Because I'm pretty sure that's not the one where DJ volunteers to spend time with an old man with Alzheimer's disease.
The "Muppets, Inc." thing is kinda confusing, though it seems Henson Associates also continued to be in credits after the company became Jim Henson Productions.
I've seen the back covers for some Sesame Street Atari games, which gave copyright credits for both Muppets, Inc. and Henson...
Is this the first movie Frank directed since Disney bought the Muppets? It seems like a long time since he last directed, and hasn't performed his Muppets during that time. I don't know if he was looking at scripts or working on any films that got canceled/assigned to other directors. Though I...
There's one episode I remember, in which a dog came to the Tanner's home, I can't remember if it was a stray or if they were watching it or what. But there's one scene where Michelle hides it among her stuffed animals, and she puts some bunny ears on the dog. DJ comes looking for it and Michelle...
I saw both ABC-DEF-GHI and Wheels on my Feet on the show many times as a kid, but I've only seen the other Big Bird numbers on video and/or online. Though the Big Bird montage in the 20th anniversary special includes clips from all these Big Bird numbers (except maybe ABC-DEF-GHI).
Do shows that continually do new episodes all year round (talk shows, news shows, soap operas) group their shows into "seasons"? Because if they don't take a break from new episodes than how would they really determine when a season ends or begins?
There's a number of places that have public restrooms, but they are one-person restrooms, with one toilet and basically being like a home bathroom (but without a bath tub). People who use these restrooms are expected to lock the doors, and yet places that have these kinds of restrooms have two...
Here's the article that talks about it: http://www.laughingplace.com/News-PID115500-115501.asp
Though looking at the article, it looks like the deal was only for theme park and merchandising rights, as opposed to full character rights like I'd thought after all these years.
I recall reading in a Jim Hill article from I think 2002 (one of his later articles involving the planned Henson-Disney merger) that at one point Disney considered buying the rights to Rocky and Bullwinkle after the success of the videos, but spent so much time haggling on the deal that...
I hadn't seen the air cafe one when I made my previous list, but now it is a great one.
I just made a "top ten" list for The Muppet Mindset. I'll have to look at the one I made in this thread and see if there's a big difference...
I can't believe that mindset exists. Yeah, they can watch the show at home for free, but not that particular story (or they have to wait... and people will have to wait a lot longer to see it on TV than buying the DVD).
On the topic of Mario games, how come world 2 of many games is always a desert world? The desert is world 2 of Mario 2, 3, all or most of The New Super Mario Bros. games, and I think Mario 3D Land. It seems the only way world 2 isn't set in the desert is if the game doesn't have a desert world...
Was Shrek meant to be for kids and adults or just older audiences? I remember when Shrek first came out, I assumed it was for teens and up (though my younger brother saw it with me at the theater), but shortly after somebody referred to Shrek as a "kids movie", surprising me... And then it seems...
I was reading the tough pigs forum, and somebody said/speculated that the 2005 Muppet Movie DVD is out of print. I don't know if that user is right, but I have noticed lately when I go to the DVD sections of stores that I no longer see copies of the Disney-released Muppet movies (except for MCC...
