I guess that regardless of whether Edna Garret deserved a spin-off series or not, The Facts of Life is a great show, and I feel it is a lot better than Diff'rent Strokes. I haven't watched either show in a long time and don't recall seeing many early Diff'rent Strokes episodes with Edna, so I...

The two It's the Muppets videos (and The Very Best of the Muppet Show videos) avoided showing any guest star clips, and the clip in question briefly showed Leslie Uggam on camera, so it was likely altered to avoid showing her. It's also weird, in that episode, the backstage scene was followed by...

Recently a big book of files regarding the Disney/Henson deal was sold on ebay and the person who bought it posted many images from it on a blog. According to that blog the Playhouse releases are currently owned by Disney.

What exactly DID Mrs. Garrett from Diff'rent Strokes do to get her own spin-off? I saw The Facts of Life for about a year before Diff'rent Strokes, and in the episodes I saw her in she didn't seem to steal the show or be a break-out character. Of course I also feel like I haven't seen too many...

I found an image of the Muppet Moments inside cover. It says that Fozzie spent weeks waiting on Kermit's doorstep before he was granted an audition, and was a last-minute replacement for a chicken who flew the coop.

I've noticed that in the "That Generic Guy" page it lists Kirk and Leslie from Newhart. I can see Leslie getting that attribution, but I don't think Kirk was a "generic character". He was a liar and often came up with schemes and such. That same section mentions that most of the first season...

At first I thought you meant that she's the rarest character to appear in the comic. So I guess you mean she's the rarest to have a significant part. Aside from the characters you mentioned, do any other minor/obscure characters appear in the background?

A few things about The Mask: 1. What's wrong with Stanley Ipkiss's pajamas? The cop apparently thinks his pajamas are ridiculous, and even thinks "there can't be two idiots with pajamas like those". But it seems like an average pair of pajamas with some interesting designs. Maybe they were...

Well, Sesame Street could get the "Muppets are too kiddy" blame before 1976. I don't think Jim Henson did any "kiddy" productions before Sesame Street (and anything that could be considered "kiddy" wasn't broadcast, at least not until after Sesame Street began). Perhaps people might think of...

If I were to make an "essential collection of songs I love", here would be the track listing, in no particular order: "Rainy Days and Mondays" by The Carpenters "Manic Monday" by The Bangles "Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon "We Built This City" by Jefferson Starship "I Lost on...

Well, I'm pretty sure he didn't actually perform in it, though I'm sure he did have some behind-the-scenes role (probably executive producer). The Red Book once showed his drawings of ideas for "baby activities" for the video.

I also just found that Peek-A-Boo is available on iTunes. The years since The Jim Henson Company sold the Muppets to Disney have been interesting regarding video releases. When Hit! had the license they released a few productions Henson hadn't given much attention to and might not have at...

I wonder if these comics will just have Rocky and Bullwinkle stories, or if they'll be broken down into multiple segments like on the show. I think Bullwinkle would lend itself well to the four-issue storyarc format, maybe two Bullwinkle stories and issue and a supporting segment or two, maybe...

I just found that Peek-a-Boo is currently on YouTube again, but you have to pay to watch it. I wonder if it's on Netflix, iTunes, or anything else like that.

Regarding M*A*S*H, I keep forgetting that the show took place at a time then television was starting to become popular (I wonder how aware the army's staff was of the invention, as they'd been busy with war). I remember being surprised when I first heard there was an episode where the characters...

I just saw the opening to the M*A*S*H pilot, which is longer than the usual opening, and at the beginning there's text that reads "Korea 1950 - a hundred years ago". But the show began in the early 1970s, about 22 years after 1950. What's the deal with the obviously incorrect time frame given...

Anybody remember a promo that would air constantly in 1996, regarding a girl named Nat or Natalie whose family was moving, and she was upset because her friends weren't moving with her, so she started some kind of website to make friends? I don't remember the full web address (I wonder if it...

The Transporter Malfunction 5. The Toast Derivation 4. The Fish Gut Displacement 3. The Engagement Reaction 2. The...

I find it interesting that the Jim Henson Pictures logo stays in the films after Disney's purchase, when Jim Henson Pictures wasn't formed in 1979 or 1981. Makes me hope that if Muppet Babies (or any Disney-owned production with an animated Jim Henson Productions logo sequence) ever gets a DVD...

I know. There have been quite a few times in the past when I've asked certain questions on forums and others pointed out that I could have easily looked them up online. And there probably will be more times I ask something on a forum without thinking to look them up. On a similar topic...
