    Little things we've noticed

    Been watching some Muppet Babies episodes lately. I noticed that in the episode Puss 'n Boots 'n Babies (which must be Bean Bunny's first appearance), when Nanny shows up to announce a surprise for them, they mention that they were surprised as well because Bean Bunny showed up to play. Nanny...

    What Muppet Merchandise would you like to see come out this year

    Wouldn't that be... kinda good (unless you really want to but can't purchase them as a result)? Those sold out fast, they should have led to more plush made. Not sure how marketable Disney sees those characters as (even though Disney did make plush to promote the movie despite them barely being...

    April Fools: Sesame Street to target older audiences directly

    Well, after all these months, I finally wrote a fan fiction based around one of these fake episode ideas (the one where the adults forget who Snuffy is). In case you're interesting in reading it, here it is: http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/sst-2-0-everybody-forgets-snuffy.53956/

    SST 2.0: Everybody Forgets Snuffy

    Last April Fools Day I posted a thread about Sesame Street rebranding itself as "Sesame Street 2.0" and being aimed more at adults and classic fans, and listed a number of ficticious episodes. You can see the thread here...

    Little things we've noticed

    I've noticed that in Muppet Classic Theater, nearly all of the supporting characters are incredibly idiotic. All of the established characters in the special (except for Fozzie) play most of the only smart characters; the only new characters who seem to be intelligent are the wolf (in both...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Oh. Whether the episodes were restored or they just made digital copies, I wonder what Sesame Workshop did with the original master tapes. I wonder if the workshop still has them or if they dumped them or what.

    Little things we've noticed

    I've noticed that The Jim Henson Company has released the Dog City special on DVD under the title "Dog City: The Movie", despite the fact that the series hasn't been on DVD (except for those Amazon burn-on-demand discs), hasn't been rerun in years, and I'm sure many aren't aware of the series...

    You know that unaired Dexter's Lab episode?

    Having not yet watched this, I can't believe there'd be consequences just fr remembering it too hard. I wonder what the big deal is. Really? I once read a review of the DVD release, which said that the show was funnier during the Nickelodeon era because John K was limited in what he was...

    Minor Muppetz' MT! outline: Victoria Jackson

    Well, they don't actually get any words out, so I didn't assign performers. I intentionally had their act end before they could start to sing to work around the fact that their performers had passed on.

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

    It seems like for shows to enter syndication, they tend to require 100 episodes, while children's shows tend to require 65. Why must children's shows have a shorter episode minimum for syndication? And why do so many syndication packages for children's shows have less episodes? In fact...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Really? I'd heard long ago that Sesame Workshop has restored every episode multiple times over the years. This is the first I heard of some old segments being lost from the archives (unless it's just the master tapes used for putting them in the episodes, while they survive in episodes that...

    What We'd Like to See for Old School Vol. 4

    I've been thinking of the possibillities of a volume 4, and after thinking about it and looking at the episode guides at Muppet Wiki, I actually feel less excited about a potential volume 4 than I did the existing ones (while I feel a little more excited about a set of the season 21-25...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    I was just thinking about the ending to Snoopy Come Home, where once Snoopy comes home and everyone is happy, Snoopy decides he wants back everything he gave away (I wonder if he gave those orders to the charities he gave things to), his letter to Charlie Brown telling him that since he gave...

    What Muppet Merchandise would you like to see come out this year

    I was thinking, even if Disney did decide to release a two-disc (or however many) "essential" collection, I'd rather it be a collection of existing compilations, preferrably the Playhouse releases, since those do contain a lot of essential clips. Of course a two-disc set probably wouldn't have...

    What Muppet Merchandise would you like to see come out this year

    It's a toy with no articulation, always posed. They are also called figurines. I can't remember off-hand what PVC stands for. Yes there was a set for Star Wars. A few sets, actually. It would be kinda funny if they did one of the Muppets as classic Disney characters. Kermit as Mickey...

    What Muppet Merchandise would you like to see come out this year

    Here's a listing of what kind of Muppet merchandise I'd like to see up to the release of the new movie. I'll list by times of the year, assuming the release date for "The Muppets... Again" doesn't change. Spring-Summer 2013: More Muppet plush and beanies, both Disney Store exclusives and...

    Taz-Mania! It's about freaking time!

    This is good news. I'm excited. I read on the Toonzone forums that the episodes are presented in chronological order, and somebody said something that I hadn't known until now: The entire series was produced in one production season, yet was split into four seperate broadcast seasons. That's...

    Could MuppeTelevision be an "old shame"?

    I've been thinking about this quite a bit lately, and maybe I am thinking too much, but does anybody else wonder if maybe the MuppeTelevision segments of The Jim Henson Hour are what TV Tropes calls an "old shame" to The Jim Henson Company? There's the fact that aside from Clifford hardly any...
