    Coming Soon: "The Jim Henson Collection" DVD

    While I doubt it, it'd be great if this were released by Disney (which would mean a new Muppet release) or Warner Bros. (which would mean a Sesame Street release. I wonder if Warner would release Follow That Bird and Witches together).

    Coming Soon: "The Jim Henson Collection" DVD

    Back when Hit had the Jim Henson license, I saw that Hit! put out a few DVDs of multiple kids shows (no Henson stuff, though) and thought it would be great if there'd be a disc of multiple Henson productions, some of the best-known stuff (mainly Fraggle Rock, maybe Animal Show) and some...

    Muppets sequel plot and promotional photo in Entertainment Weekly

    Some people have pointed out how The Jim Henson Company has struggled to get quite a few of it's in-development productions past the in-development stage, especially when it involves an existing property like The Dark Crystal or Fraggle Rock. And I've just started thinking, when Disney got the...

    Coming Soon: "The Jim Henson Collection" DVD

    The Amazon page doesn't say what company's releasing it. If it was being released by Sony I could see it as a multi-pack of The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and Mirror Mask. Or if it's from Sony it could include The Storyteller and/or maybe also The Muppets Take Manhattan (since Henson did work on...

    Monsterpiece Theatre - Chariots of Fire

    That's my favorite Monsterpiece Theater segment. Back when I was a kid, I felt like this one wasn't on enough. Maybe it wasn't shown often in the late-1980s/early-1990s, but whenever it was on I felt like it was an event. For years this was one of my most-wanted segments on DVD, and last...

    SST 2.0: Maria and Luis Argue

    Here's yet another outline for the fictitious Sesame Street series "Sesame Street 2.0", aimed at the adult fans. Enjoy! Scene 1 Snuffy comes to Big Bird's nest all sad, because after they had a heavy argument, Snuffy's parents have decided to get a divorce ("just like Abby's parents")...

    SST 2.0: Gabby Tutors a Loser

    I never thought of "loser" as a mental disorder. I thought of it as a term people give to those whose lifestyles and interests are not particularly glamorous to them, especially if they are high school students. And even as I wrote this I thought it'd be a bit out-of-character for Gabby to...

    Full House

    Why do I ask these kinds of things without thinking to research them on my own... I just watched the full first season opening on YouTube, and that shot isn't there. In fact I knew that the original opening was shortened significantly. I wonder if that whole first verse that's edited in...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I didn't know that was sarcasm. I thought it was wishful thinking.

    Full House

    I've been watching the first season episodes lately, and is it just me or is the syndication version of the opening slightly different? In the shot of the cast running, it looks like Jesse has his shorter haircut from after season one, but the other scenes show him with his original longer hair...

    Nine Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    Well, Scarecrow and one of the good witches did end up attracted to each other at the end. That's not much, and near the end, but it's more representative of their relationship than MFS was.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I've been thinking of what would make a good schedule for Sesame Street releases this year, after Elmo the Musical comes out: June or July: A character spotlight video (preferably The Count or another Grover release) or a two-disc (or two-hour single-disc) celebration of Jerry Nelson on Sesame...

    Your Muppet mistakes

    Well, I used to think he only said mee, even when I heard him make sounds that sound different (like "sadly temporary" in TMM and "no" following one of Bunsen's introductions in Muppet Labs), but has he ever actually said meep? It's usually spelled that way in books, even though he usually...

    Nine Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    I know that Muppets from Space is one of those two exceptions (their relationship there seemed nonexistent), but what's the other exception?

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Last year they put out the "Best of Friends" release (which will soon be released in stores other than Target) and that seemed like a good way of spotlighting all the current main characters (except for Baby Bear and Murray). I hope some more get released soon, especially for The Count. That...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I forgot about his line in the movie. He was, as was Annie Sue (as an audience member). I wonder if that puppet's still in any condition to be performed, or if he'd need to be rebuilt.

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    Well, a lot of obscure characters were rebuilt for the last movie, and many didn't have dialogue. Among the rebuilt characters who didn't have dialogue include Droop, Thog, two Mutations, Lips, Trumpet Girl, Nigel, Bobby Benson, and Dr. Strangepork. That's nine characters (and I'm not sure...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I wonder how big of a part Annie Sue will have. Hopefully the fact that Louise Gold will be performing means that she'll at least have a line. Great to see confirmation that a classic character who wasn't rebuilt for the last film will be making an appearance (I know Foo-Foo's in a publicity...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I know about "A Celebration of Me, Grover!", and that is one of the best character spotlight videos. Currently Cookie Monster and Elmo are the only characters with two character spotlight videos (and "Playtime with Grover" is sort of a character spotlight video, as Grover is in every segment in...
