    Any theories on why certain characters didn't make the cut?

    I can't believe one of the choices was "they found some of them unneccessary to the plot line". You could say that about any of the characters who just show up in the background without lines, in the ending crowd scene and the telelthon opening. I thought I read a statement from either Bobin...

    Full-Bodied Oscar

    I've seen him without pants in The Sesame Street Storybook and The Together Book, both early Sesame Street books. And when they do show him in full-body form they rarely make much effort to give him legs. In The Street We Live On his legs aren't very long (and when I first saw it I didn't think...

    Full-Bodied Oscar

    I feel I recall a scene in the late-1980s/early-1990s where Oscar's full body was shown after jumping out of a trash can as well. There's also an episode from season 30 in which Miles does a video project for school. He decided to have it snow in the video, and after convincing Oscar to appear...

    Sesame Street Classic Episodes Vol. 2 now available for download on iTunes

    Well, I've finally been able to download some episodes. I've downloaded episodes 597 and 1957 (as well as a few from volume 1), in part because Muppet Wiki doesn't have full guides for those episodes yet. These episodes are enjoyable. I'm epsecially enjoying many of the animation and live-action...

    "Ask Mike" Muppets, Star Wars and more web series

    I have a couple of questions about "The Muppets". First, there is a deleted scene on the blu-ray where the Muppets are shown leaving the stage after the opening is over. It's an impressive scene, with the Muppets going down some stairways by the arches, in one big take. Was this all shot as...

    "Ask Mike" Muppets, Star Wars and more web series

    I don't know how I missed this. I'll have to watcht he first episode and see what's been asked. I didn't realsie you performed in The Muppets. I know you were in The Great Muppet Caper, and can't remember if you were in The Muppets Take Manhattan. Should we limit the number of questions we send?

    Jim Henson's Red Book

    Here's an entry that notes several things Henson did in a single weekend. I can't remember if this was the first time they included an entry with so much noted, though I wondered if there were any dates where Jim did so many things. http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2012/05/19/518-191985/...

    Tiny Toons How I Spent my Summer Vacation

    Considering that "executive producer" is often just a title (even though there are many E.P.'s who DO the work to earn the title as well), maybe there should be a book: "Anyone Can Be Executive Producer". :)

    The Great Space Coaster

    So first-run syndicated shows can't be seen in reruns (then again, The Muppet Show hasn't been in US reruns for over a decade)?

    The Great Space Coaster

    I couldn't find any threads here that mention this, but it's come to my attention that the company that has the rights to this show needs money to save the show. Here's a link: http://www.indiegogo.com/TGSC According to the page they reached their goal to raise enough money to save one...

    Frank Oz Interview with EW

    On the subject of whether the Muppet performers are allowed to be interviewed anymore, I remember when Tough Pigs did the video interview with Whitmire, Jacobson, and Vogel Steve Whitmire said he wanted to discuss the movie but couldn't until after it came out. Well, it's come out. But it...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    While playing most of Turtles in Time the other night, I've found that the game is somewhat easier for me than it had been a few months ago. With the exception of the first battle with Krang and the Shredder battle, all of the bosses seem to be equally difficult (it's also a bit difficult to...

    Tiny Toons How I Spent my Summer Vacation

    I've read in Hulk Hogan's autobiography that he got the executive producer credit in Suburban Commando but in that case it only meant he got an extra paycheck, while years later when he was executive producer of Thunder in Paradise it was more than just a title.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    I knew what seasons were produced for first-run syndication. I was referring to the rerun syndication package (sounds complicated referring to a rerun syndication package when the show originally was syndicated). It would be sad if the CBS episodes were never included (unless they added a second...

    Jim Henson with Kermit and Rowlf on Arsenio Hall (1990)

    Interesting that they just put Rowlf's right arm in a sling as opposed to just pinning it to the side of his body. Rowlf's voice sounds the roughest I've ever heard it (it didn't sound that rough a year earlier in Dog City, can't remember how it sounded in the Walt Disney World special)...
