    Why does Muppet fandom seem so underground?

    Recently my grandfather made some comment thinking that I know more about the Muppets than anyone else alive. I'm sure I know more about Muppets than anyone else he knows, but has anyone else here ever gotten this kind of comment? To me it actually felt a little derogatory towards Muppet fandom...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Looking in The Moose That Roared, it seems I may have misunderstood something all these years. Reading some sections on the beginning of The Bullwinkle Show on NBC, it says that the sponsors "requested more Mr. Know-It-All" segments. I guess that means Mr. Know-It-All actually began during the...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I remember several years ago going to a flea market and finding a "promotional VHS" of Rocky and Bullwinkle. It didn't have any packaging (not sure if it was released without packaging or if the packaging was lost before ending up at the flea market) and I have no idea what was included. Anybody...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I've never seen any copies of season five (or the complete series) in person. It also took me awhile to find any copies of the fourth season. Something I'm feeling confused about. According to The Moose That Roared book, Mr. Know-It-All and Rocky & Bullwinkle Fan Club both began in season...

    Funko POP! Muppet figures coming in 2012

    It feels like 2002 all over again, though I'm not as excited as I was when Palisades first presented Muppet items at Toy Fair. And it should be more exciting, since we don't have any idea what other Muppet stuff will be presented (with the success of the new movie I'm expecting a lot more)...

    The "What Commercial was that?!" Thread

    I remember that one as well... And I can't remember what it was for. Though I'm thinking the older brother mainly imagined himself as a professional hockey player, and the ending with the professionals being part of one of the brother's imaginations (why would those professionals play street...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Now I have a song in my head that I first heard today, Foolish Little Girl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zAX5StHD6A&feature=share

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    I thought I read somewhere (and can't remember if it was a fan site or something said/written by Charles Schultz) that one reason Violet and Patty were written out was because they were doing things to Charlie Brown that Lucy could do on her own. I thought Lucy was meaner because of that. I...

    Funko POP! Muppet figures coming in 2012

    This first wave of toys looks like a mix of Palisades series 1 and 2. I wonder if series 2 (if it gets that far) will include Floyd, Janice, and Zoot. Anybody know if these kinds of toys normally include accessories?

    Funko POP! Muppet figures coming in 2012

    That reminds me of when I was 8 and I started noticing Gonzo's nose being different colors depending on the production, I was so confused. To me his nose looked white in The Muppet Movie, purple in The Great Muppet Caper, and blue in The Muppets Take Manhattan, and seemed it'd often look either...

    The Muppet Mindset

    A coincidence I just realised: I sent in the Louis Kazagger article to be included last week without realising that this was Super Bowl week. What perfect timing!

    Muppet Classic Theater Revisited

    I remember when I first heard of this production, it was in a small catelogue-like book that came with the Return to Jafar VHS, and a cover image wasn't included (it was promoted on the back cover, showing an image of Kermit and Piggy in royal clothing). I can't remember if it listed the stories...

    Some thoughts on Muppet Treasure Island

    I liked Muppet Treasure Island a lot better when I first saw it. But I'm not too big on adventure. I like MTI less than Muppets from Space, but better than Kermit's Swamp Years. But it does have it's moments. Out of all the movies, it would have made most sense for this one to have it's own...

    Muppet Classic Theater Revisited

    I've been thinking about this special recently (though I haven't watched it in five years). The voice Jerry Nelson used for the wolf sounds like Herry Monster to me (and Mr. Johnson's voice currently seems to sound that way as well). Never thought of it as any kind of accent. Noticed during...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    I was watching Be My Valentines, Charlie Brown this morning, and does anyone else think the ending with the girls giving Charlie Brown a late valentine is a little awkward? In the scene, Violet, Lucy, Sally, and Frieda all give Charlie Brown a valentine, but Violet is the only one talking in...

    Best of Sesame Friends DVD

    Another idea I thought would be cool, though I doubt it'd happen with this release, would be to focus on the evolution of all the main characters. I'd include a few segments in a row of each character, with a behind-the-scenes introduction for each character, then show character clips, mainly...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Some of the songs from A Goofy Movie, particularly "After Today", "On the Open Road", and "Nobody Else But You".

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 42

    Was it said who Frank Oz performed in the song? It could be Grover, or it could be Bert or Cookie Monster, or it could be another one-shot Anything Muppet (I think it'd be a stetch to expect it to be Lefty or Harvey Kneeslapper or somebody like that). While we're on the subject of Frank Oz, it...

    Best of Sesame Friends DVD

    I've been thinking about this, and here is what I think might be a good line-up for the release. Assuming that it'll have stuff not nominated, that at least one of the nominated clips for each character will be included, that some additional character clips will be included (I won't go too crazy...
