    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    I was referring to whether the back covers have images from the linking footage, not the clips. I know that, of the back covers I've seen, most of them have images from the clips (though I'm sure they're not really clips but pictures taken during shooting of the segments). Interestingly, the...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Just last week I had the classic Toys R Us jingle in my head. Of course I watched several classic '8-s Toys R Us commercials on YouTube. I've also had several Hall and Oates songs in my head, including Out of Sight, Private Eyes, and Uh-oh Here She Comes.

    RIP Annette Funicello

    I also thought she was already dead. I know that when The Mickey Mouse Club had ended she was given a movie contract with Disney, and in fact was the only Mousekateer to get such a contract. But are any of her Disney films very well-known with audiences? She's remembered for the MMC and...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    I've done google searches for all of the videos, and found the inside covers of a few more videos. The inside cover for Rock Music with the Muppets says that Dr. Teeth has his name because he's never had a cavity, while the inside cover for The Kermit and Piggy Story says that Miss Piggy's first...

    Segments with more than one teaching subject

    Various segments that teach multiple letters and/or numbers counts. For instance: Ernie holding the letter P, while Lefty holds an R. Ernie trying to tell a story about the number 12, which changes into a 21, so Ernie tries to tell a story about 21, but it changes back. Herbert Birdsfoot...

    At first, I thought this was a weird concept, but now I'm contemplating editing.

    The Cleveland Show likely to be cancelled

    If this show does end, I wonder if Cleveland will return to Family Guy (I'm sure his family would come to the show with him, but I don't think the rest of the shows cast should). It would be awkward if The Cleveland Show ended, Cleveland returned, and then Fox decided to bring it back.

    The Cleveland Show likely to be cancelled

    When I first heard that Cleveland was going to get his own spin-off, I thought it was an odd choice. Of course I couldn't see Joe or Quaigmire hold their own spin-offs, either, but as Dr.Tooth said, Cleveland didn't have much personality or even gimmicks on Family Guy. But then he was given more...

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

    Anybody ever notice how whenever an actor known for comedy does a drama, the movie has the kind of plot that would work very well for comedy? I wonder if this might be to trick the audience into thinking it's a comedy (even though they make a big deal out of comedians doing drama). I'll use...

    TV Tropes

    I've noticed a number of things listed in different tropes that I feel are wrong, maybe it's just a very bad opinion, not sure, but would like to point them out: On the Leslie Nielsen Syndrome page, which refers to actors who were known for drama but later switched to comedy, it lists Jim Carrey...

    My Sesame Street Home Video

    The Best of Kermit on Sesame Street was not released as part of My Sesame Street Home Video. Count it Higher was released as part of the My Sesame Street Home Video collection, not Sesame Songs.

    The Cleveland Show likely to be cancelled

    Considering all of the characters were jerks, I should have liked it better. And yet it was hard to get into. I remember when I first heard of the show, when the characters were hosting the sunday night line-up, I wondered if Allen was a kid with an adults voice (like Stewie Griffin) or a really...

    Your Least Favorite Things

    My least-favorite Peanuts specials are What a Nightmare, Charlie Brown, SOmeday You'll Find Her, Charlie Brown, It's Flashbeagle Charlie Brown, What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown?, and Life is a Circus, Charlie Brown. I'd like to say that I also dislike most of the specials from the '90s and...

    Why wasn't there a longer video deal in the 1980s?

    Thinking more about it, I wonder why whenever The Jim Henson Company has a video distribution deal, it only lasts a short time. Buena Vista Home Video had Jim Henson Video from 1993-1996 (actually I think that deal ended in 1997, but there weren't any Jim Henson Video releases that year), then...

    Who is Lionsgate associated with?

    One thing that I've noticed, and I'm not going to say what program it is, but I've noticed that since Lionsgate's contract with Henson ran out, at least one Henson special that Lionsgate released is on YouTube... and yet the uploaded date is from around 2008. I know it was removed when Lionsgate...

    Sesame Street Copyright Strike

    But Hulu doesn't charge for viewing (Hulu Plus might). Hulu relies on sponsorship I think. If a program is available for free on both Hulu and YouTube, but only Hulu gets sponsorship money (and I know that certain YouTube channels get sponsors as well), I don't think the fans would be picky...

    The Darkwing Duck Thread

    I know that the show has had a number of different openings (though they all use clip montages and the same theme song), including the reruns and DVD releases. But I noticed that in Twitching Channels, at one point a version of the opening is shown... I think it has some of the same clips as on...

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

    There's a meme on facebook where various photos are shown representing something, with captions like "what my friends think I do", "what my family thinks I do", "what society thinks I do", etc. but in most (if not all) of these, two of the captions are "what I think I do" and "what I really...

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

    How come on the audio commentary for Date Movie, whenever they mention the titles of movies that get parodied in the film, the titles get bleeped? I think that's the only commentary track I've ever seen where they bleeped out any mention of other movie titles. Besides, they were able to spoof...

    Finding Dory coming to theaters Summer 2016

    I've read about "Finding Dory" a few times in the last few days and thought it was a joke of some kind. Of course I had forgotten Dory's name, but I feel Finding Nemo needed a sequel as badly as Cars did.... Cars and Nemo are two of my least-favorite Pixar films.
