I wonder if the company that owns this special owns any of the other Julie Andrews specials with the Muppets. The Muppet Wiki pages don't seem to note distribution rights or production credits for these specials (except for Julie on Sesame Street being produced by ITC). That would be good to...

I think Muppet Wiki usually notes video releases of productions that feature guest appearances by the Muppets, so it's not that big a deal (but it's still good this was posted on the forum).

Today's episode included a repeated street story (Abby thinks Oscar is really a prince), as well as Super Grover 2.0 finding a wedding ring, Upside-Downton Abbey, and Elmo the Musical: Prince the Musical. I think it's new. There's some cool things in this one: Prince Elmo's castle resembles the...

I recently found one article called "All Animation is Disney", which lists examples of people thinking that Disney is responsible for all animation, and it says that one of the few companies that doesn't get mistaken for Disney is Warner Bros., but then many slapstick cartoons from other...

Really? Do you know of any examples? Because I don't ever remember seeing peanut butter sandwiches with lettuce. In Meet the Robinsons, for example, characters have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches the right way. Though I thought it was weird when I saw the Sesame Street clip where Aristotle...

I watched today's episode, and it was good. I was surprised that the Upside Downton Abbey segment was not in today's episode (I thought I read that it was going to be in this one, guess I misread). The cartoon with the cavemen was good. I am sad to say that I didn't really pay much attention...

I don't know why we should suspect Gonzo to not have a big role in this one. I would like to assume that it'll be at least a little bigger than last time, but even then his role wasn't that minor. Even though it seems like outside of his comeback scene and scenes involving the bowling ball act...

I don't think it's far-fetched for Simon and Poco to be on a cup alongside other characters. I read all the posts before looking at the link, and thought it was toys of the characters, which would be a surprise, but if they're just illustrated on a cup with other main characters, I don't think...

Maybe putting lettuce and tomato on a sandwich makes it look more like a sandwich? Though I would think two pieces of bread would be enough. At least peanut butter sandwiches are never shown with lettuce and tomato. I especially prefer for sandwiches with lunch meat to not have lettuce and tomato.

One thing I wonder: When they planned on having Miss Piggy play the ghost of Christmas present, did they also plan on having her play Emily Cratchet? Did they plan on having Emily Cratchet at all? If the ghosts were played by established characters or played for comedy relief (or if the...

Well, I read that most of next season had been completed before Kevin Clash resigned, so they have a year to train a new performer to take over Elmo. I'm sure Matt Vogel will do a good job as The Count and other Jerry Nelson characters. Who knows, maybe Big Bird will be more prominient again...

One thing that hit me when watching this segment: Is Upside Downton Abbey the first female character made from the Orange Gold Anything Muppet? It seems those are usually male... So it seems odd seeing that AM used for a woman. Also, is it just me or is the Pumpkin Anything Muppet's head...

I like lettuce and tomato, and don't mind having them on my sandwich. Though I normally prefer to have sandwiches plain. I usually only have lettuce and tomato on mine if I get my sandwich at a restaurant.

In the movie "Dinner for Schmucks", what's the deal with Steve Carrell's boss being seen as likely to "win"? It was expected that he'd win the award for biggest loser because he thought he had mind controll, and used it on Steve's character... Who believed that his mind was being controlled. The...

Early publicity for The Muppets also had grpup photos featuring generic rats but not Rizzo, and in the end Rizzo only appeared in the background (and there were a number of scenes with generic rats but no Rizzo). Though Rizzo was featured quite a bit in publicity and interviews (sorta like...

It would be great to at least see a little bit of various recurring segments in a montage. I wonder if they would build such sets that would only be used for a few seconds in a montage (I know, they could just green screen and cgi the backgrounds). I'd be surprised if any of the classic sets...

Wow, these last few years we've gotten Frank Oz performing one-shot characters in parody sketches, and all of them are parodies of shows I'd never heard of previously (I think I might have heard of Mad Men before the parody). And with the exception of "The Heaviest Catch" all these segments are...

I didn't mind any of the spoilers, but I hope they don't over-do it with the parody trailers. I enjoyed the first three teasers/parody trailers, and then the real trailer... But when they started doing parody trailers again after the official trailer came out, I thought "Really??" I also felt...

Back when Jim Carrey started to become an A-list star in 1994 and I started to learn about his pre-Ace Ventura roles, I had a number of odd things in my head regarding what I thought occurred in his earlier roles. I first misread the title "Peggy Sue Got Married" as "Peggy Got Married", and...

Muppet Wiki doesn't say anything about Harpo Marx being an inspiration. According to Muppet Wiki, Tony Geiss came up with the characters, based on his own childhood habit of honking his nose. Unless Harop was Geiss' inspiration for honking his own nose, then I guess not.
