    Old School DVD set ideas

    This week I've been thinking of a great idea I'd call "Sesame Street Hall of Fame", two discs of many of the best segments that haven't been released on DVD (and there's still quite a few I didn't list below), plus some additionals I like or want to see. Mostly from seasons 1-24, though I'd...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    In October there's going to be a new "Preschool is Cool" DVD, "Making Friends". I wonder if this is the same as "The Best of Sesame Friends" DVD that was announced. No contents have been announced, but considering the title and description, hardly any of the nominated clips have anything to do...

    Oscar's Trashman Bruno

    It's been said that they wouldn't rebuild Bruno because the cost would be too high, but I wonder if he ever has been rebuilt. I've noticed in a number of appearances from the early 1980s (the season 12 "bring your own can night" clip, episode 1899, Follow That Bird, footage Copper Pot Pictures...

    Frank Oz: "New Muppets Too Cute"

    One part of the interview I don't really understand: It sounds like Frank Oz is vaguely mentioning an upcoming project he's been working on, but then says he doesn't want to talk about it because he doesn't want to sound like somebody talking about his work. But it's hard to hear the question...

    Has Frank Oz's opinion on the new movie changed?

    I wonder if any of the people who matter at Disney have even read these interviews with Frank where he's talked about the movie. But now I wonder if studios ever banned any celebrities or creative talents who talked badly about past films they made that the individuals didn't like or didn't like...

    A Much Deeper Level

    While browsing through the blog today, I was surprised to see that it's been around since january. I assumed it began a month ago (and until today I didn't notice that the side of the website showed pre-june months).

    Frank Oz: "New Muppets Too Cute"

    It would be interesting to compare some of the recent Grover/Mr. Johnson bits with Frank and some of the ones that Eric did. Seems Frank usually performs Grover in those, but I'm pretty sure Eric performed Grover in the Rhyme Day sketch and the two from season 41 (Letter G Games and V Salesman).

    Speculation: CW interested in Muppets?

    If The CW wants to get more Muppet content out for the holiday season then that's great (though I wonder if they tried getting the rights to broadcast non-holiday stuff so they can show some Muppets before Christmas). I say they should rerun Letters to Santa, A Muppet Family Christmas, and The...

    Has Frank Oz's opinion on the new movie changed?

    Regarding him not doing voices for fans, he's often said that the characters are too precious to him for him to just do the voices when fans ask, feeling it cheapens the characters a bit. Though I remember seeing one interview (I think it came out around the time of Star Wars Episode III, or...

    Frank Oz: "New Muppets Too Cute"

    Interestingly, he said that he would only work for the Muppets again if Disney were to ask him. I wonder how likely Disney will be to ask him in the near future.

    The Darkwing Duck Thread

    Well just a few nights ago I finished watching all the episodes on volume 2, and would like to provide thoughts on some episodes (not all of them): Ghoul of my Dreams - I've read that this is the episode where Morgana officially gives up being a villian. While it seems so, it's disapointing that...

    Frank Oz: "New Muppets Too Cute"

    I'm glad that he's at least given a more speciffic answer, given that interview a few months ago when he said he didn't want to talk about what he thought was wrong. Though this answer is a bit satysfying. After reading this I wonder if he'd been thinking of this longer, since there's been more...

    Vote Muppets for ABC's "Best in TV" Barbara Walters Special

    I also wonder: What's so great about Obama's inauguation that deems it worthy of nominating for best TV moments? I never saw it, and don't remember seeing any previous presidential inauguation (well, I did see that special The Disney Channel did for Bill Clinton in 1993, but I don't know if that...

    A Much Deeper Level

    I've been enjoying these, especially the more recent articles on Tinkerdee/Cinderella/Frog Prince/Bremen. My only big complaint here is that the background image makes it a little hard to make out certain text at times.

    Video: Muppets appear at Just for Laughs Comedy Festival

    After what I've read I get the feeling that only the main characters (plus Beauregard and Lew Zealand) appeared in this. Considering this was an honorary Muppet Show it's a shame they didn't include more obscure characters. Thog should have been there with Sweetums. Was Pepe in this at all...

    Salute Your Shorts

    I just watched Awnawana Inc. I thought I didn't remember seeing it at all, but then I saw Ug's fantasy sequence, which I previously thought was in "They Call Me Ms. Tibbs". The subplot of Sponge collecting items for a time capsule sounded familiar, but I thought that was just a plot in many kids...

    Has Frank Oz's opinion on the new movie changed?

    All those names I was really just half-kidding (I also considered stating that I desired Caroll Spinney's opinion). I only listed them because they had been so involved with the Muppets even though they hadn't worked with the Muppets in years (even though Jerry Nelson did lend his voice to one...
