Here's a recent post which actually explains how Jim was able to purchase the distribution rights to his work with ITV as well as why he didn't work with that company after The Dark Crystal: http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2013/01/17/1171982/ I had read on the site a few years ago that Jim...

Thinking more about those in-development/abandoned scripts, I find it interesting how there were two scripts called "Next Muppet Movie" (well, one of them has a "The" in the title...). Also two different newer Muppet shows, I assume the one titled "Tom Martin Muppet Show" is the one that was...

When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought it meant that a Muppet Show in Canada was planned but fell through (well, most of The Jim Henson Hour WAS made in Canada). It would have probably had some Canadian performers. When Jerry Nelson was interviewed for Tough Pigs, he said that...

I was surprised to see that The Muppets on Puppets is not listed at all. Considering that special was included in The Muppet Show: Season Three, I wonder if that was an oversight, if Disney made a mistake, if Disney obtained the rights to that special after 2004, or if Disney had to clear the...

For the most part I've clicked on pictures and then clicked on the images shown below in the bottom of the pages. Turns out another page about Scary, Scary Monsters is included, but clicking on it doesn't present a larger image. And it's quite confusing... It seems that Disney got the rights to...

There's a few things I wanted to say about that blog post but forgot. The various pages from the book are obviously taken pictures (as opposed to scans), and some pages are shown multiple times, at different sizes. One particular page that appears twice in that blog begins with something...

Recently somebody obtained a book documenting the Disney/Henson sale, and posted images on a blog (from what I can tell from a Tough Pigs forum post the blog doesn't show everythign from the book). Here's thye blog post: http://boyraisin2.blogspot.com/2013/01/disney-henson-who-owns-what.html...

Too bad there's no sign of whether any obscure classic-era characters will be included. Hopefully they'll be included even if they're not on the cover (at first I was worried that Boom would ignore anybody who wasn't on the first cover, and obviously we got many obscure characters in the Boom...

The person who bought the legal book did a blog post showing many pages from it. http://boyraisin2.blogspot.com/2013/01/disney-henson-who-owns-what.html I've been too excited to read everything, but there is some interesting stuff mentioned. It does acknowledge that both companies have...

If it's a multi-pack and not sold seperately, then I don't see what the harm would be in including an obscure character among five more better-known ones (especially Animal). It seems that most Muppet PVC multi-packs (outside of the Palisades ones) usually only have the best-known... It wouldn't...

Maybe Henson and SW have different policies involving what their interns can do. Also, who's to say that intern didn't have permission from SW?

Also, in 2008, Sesame Workshop allowed fans on it's facebook page to nominate clips for Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days, to vote for certain things to appear in Sesame Street: A Celebration - 40 Years of Life on the Street, and to vote for nominated clips for the Best of Friends DVD.

There was recently a thread on the subject, and I think somebody said that the fan outrage came more from the fact that the recast was a test/surprise that we weren't expecting; if fans had known in advance that Kermit would have an alternate performer, they may not have complained as much...

When I first heard of the documentary The World of Jim Henson, I rightfully assumed that it was new, but then when I saw the special and saw the various footage of Jim Henson talking about his career, I thought it must have been made much earlier. Then I got more confused when his death was...

Of the later episodes, you can't go wrong with Muppet Babies: The Next Generation. So many parodies mixed together, a rare episode that focuses on Rowlf, and "The Future is Counting on You" is a great song. I also really like Comic Capers. It's great to see the babies portray Peanuts...

I'm pretty sure it was from 1993-1998. I feel like these should have been called "Coming tomorrow on Sesame Street!" instead of "Coming soon!", since it seems they always were promoting tomorrow's episodes. I remember watching the episode where Slimey landed on the moon, on the friday...

Watching the segments with Big Bird trying and failing to convince the adults that Snuffy is real can be both funny and frusterating at the same time (but it feels less frustrating knowing that the adults would eventually see Snuffy), but it's really funny whenever another character sees or...

If we get any episodes from that era on DVD, I wonder if they would include those (just as the Old School DVDs include, for the most part, the sponsorship credits and PBS logo). I can't remember off-hand the iTunes copies of the season 25 episodes include them.

There was recently an interview with Matt Vogel, where he mentioned that these days he doesn't perform Big Bird as much as he used to (I assume because he's also been busy with Jerry Nelson's characters, or perhaps because Big Bird's been in considerably less episodes each year). It's great...

They were only on the show for season 12, not sure if they're segments were repeated after season 12 (or, if they were, how long they were repeated). I'm hoping that the season 16 premiere (which Muppet Wiki has no information on) just happens to include one of their routines. Or that maybe...
