In It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, when Piggy answers a call for her psychic service, Miss Piggy tells the customer that it's "for entertainment purposes only", and then accidentally mentions over the phone that she's not really psychic, to which the customer hangs up. But if she had...

One thing that's interesting is that whenever figures had a piece of removable clothing, it was always off in the packaging (with the exception of every Swedish Chef figure wearing his hat in the packaging). I wonder why the removable clothes was separate. Other toy lines would have removable...

I've wondered if Frank Oz physically performed Grover (who only gets one scene) and Cookie Monster (who doesn't really get much dialogue and is as useless in the main group here as Animal was in the main group in Muppets from Space). I've always suspected he performed Bert. On the topic of...

Actually, Palisades went under after the Muppets license expired. You are correct that the Sesame Street line didn't get started because of the company going under, though. I think I mentioned this in a previous post, but recently somebody who claimed to be in charge of clearing all of the...

And that page doesn't list any horror movie examples.

Is there a trope for when horror movies have scenes where somebody is being chased, and they fall, and even though the chaser is running after them they take their time to get up and run away? I can't remember any examples off-hand, but sometimes I see certain tropes on pages and it'll say to...

I've occasionally read about certain episodes of The Muppet Show getting reviews, and it makes me wonder, was there a publication that regularly reviewed new episodes of shows after (or before( they aired? Are there still print reviews (not online) of indiviudal new episodes? I know that the...

Here's another outline for the fictional series "Sesame Street 2.0", aimed at the older fans. Scene 1 Oscar walks around Sesame Street, outside of his trash can. He laments that Bruno was busy and couldn't carry his trash can, so Oscar had to walk like this. Maria points out that he hadn't...

I'm surprised the channel hasn't had 1 billion views before this promotion. But I guess if they really want the views now this campaign can help motivate fans into watching a lot more (I generally prefer to watch the clips on sesamestreet.org, but you can't comment on the clips there). I've...

Yes, that one's been on DVD, but all of Brian Henson's intros were recorded for reruns on The Odyssey Network in 1999.

I wonder if that's also why Disney hasn't rereleased the Play-Along or Sing-Along videos. With the possible exception of the "It's Not Easy Being Green" sing-along video (which has clips from a few productions Henson has retained the rights to), those have all-original music that wouldn't need...

I think Disney has released all of it's animated shorts starring it's classic characters (Mickey, Goofy, not sure about Donald and Pluto). I'm surprised Disney hasn't put it's classic shorts on blu-ray yet. But there seems to be quite a few (rather obscure) Disney shorts released in the 1970s...

I direct you to this thread: http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/april-fools-sesame-street-to-target-older-audiences-directly.50795/ And now here's an outline, one that may or may not have a character act out-of-character. I also don't know whether Gabby's still on the show. Scene 1...

Actually the line wasn't cut short. Palisades' contract with Henson lasted until 2005. Disney purchased the Muppets in 2004 and let Palisades continue to make figures until the contract ran out. We got three series after the sale was made, and at the time retailers were losing interest in...

I wonder if Disney would ever release any past Muppet specials as standalone/main feature DVDs, as opposed to being bonus features on the Muppet Show DVDs or as a multi-special set of some sort. I know we got Letters to Santa as a stand-alone, and other countries got the Studio DC specials (but...

My thoughts on the specials that I've seen: The Muppets on Puppets - interesting to see that Jim Henson and the Muppets were big enough to host a puppetry special in 1968. The scenes with the Muppets are the best, especially when Rowlf talks about Kermit and reads a fairy tale, but many of...

Miss Piggy made the same mistake in Miss Piggy's Hollywood. Most Muppet specials (with the exception of the fairy tale-based ones and Letters to Santa) don't have much of a plot focus. Yes to both.

These last few days I've been going through the videos, watching through many playlists... Today I've decided to try NOT to watch the ones with the most-views (it'd be great if they reached their goal because of less popular videos). As I've been viewing, I've found that Sesame Street's YouTube...

Frank Oz has stated a couple of times that the original ending to Little Shop of Horrors is more acceptable in the play than the movie because the actors do a curtain call, but how does a curtain call make it acceptable? The characters are still dead while the actors are alive. The actors in the...

I remember when I heard about this, I was really excited. I was happy to know they got Little Muppet Monsters and the Muppet portions of The Jim Henson Hour. I fantasized about a potential release schedule, and even typed one down (I have since deleted it). And after seeing scans from the...
