    The Star Wars Holiday Special comming to DVD

    I'd like to see the special. I know it's (probably) on YouTube, but the only footage I've seen is what's in The Nostalgia Critic's review. I'm a fan of the franchise, but not too hardcore. I haven't seen the Droids or Ewoks cartoon series, I've hardly seen any of the more recent animated series...

    Why wasn't there a longer video deal in the 1980s?

    Recently, I've noticed that, in the US, before Jim Henson's death in 1990 pretty much all video deals were short-lived and seemed to focus on a single type of video. In other countries, companies such as Virgin Video and Palace released more productions on video (including some specials that...

    April Fools: Out to Lunch on YouTube

    Here's a listing of what video links I really posted, in case any of those get removed (or in case the links won't work for certain people). The first link posted was to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" (that's right, I rickrolled some of you). The second link was a clip of the flower...

    April Fools: Out to Lunch on YouTube

    Somebody has finally found the rare Sesame Street/Electric Company crossover special "Out to Lunch" and has posted it all on YouTube! This user also claims to have a copy of the rare "Sesame Street at Night" special and the second test pilot and intends on uploading those two very soon as well...

    April Fools: Season 42 News Announced

    I didn't realise Muppet Wiki actually had a page with information on the next season. Though it is a bit small. Just now realising that I should have made the claim that Forgetful Jones and Placido Flamingo would return, performed by David Rudman. It wasn't until yesterday that I...

    The Star Wars Holiday Special comming to DVD

    I heard the news a month ago. I've heard he's actually releasing all six in 3D, one per year, starting with episode I (I wonder if those new to the franchise who see episode I first will stay away from the others because of how that one is).

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    I used to think something happened during the end credits of MTM due to the view of a New York City skyline. I wonder what the deal was of including Carter in tha tkaleidoscope ending? He was only in the movie at the beginning, had only a brief line, and hardly anybody in america (besides...

    The Star Wars Holiday Special comming to DVD

    For the first time ever, the one Star Wars project that George Lucas himself is ashamed of, The Star Wars Holiday Special, is finally coming to DVD this November. Like with the various rereleases of the Star Wars movies, this release will have alteratiosn adn improvements, including...

    April Fools: Old School Vol. 3 DVD, CD and more coming!

    I saw this coming (I've done a number of april fools jokes in the past regarding Sesame Street DVDs). An april fools joke that I considered was to announce a special release, "The Sesame Workshop Collection", with the claim that it would be a two-disc set, with disc 1 containing one epsiode...

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    I don't remember it coming to video that quickly, though I don't remember the eact release date. But I do remember The Adventrues of Elmo in Grouchland coming out on video and DVD two and a half months after release (in time for Christmas). It really should have been directed by Brian...

    April Fools: Season 42 to be Sesame Street's final season

    When I first saw this I thought it'd kill my plan for an april fools day thread, until I realised that my idea was different, so I posted a seperate thread.

    April Fools: Season 42 News Announced

    I'm honestly surprised that we haven't gotten any official news about season 42 yet. These past few years it seems all the big news had been announced before april 1.

    April Fools: Season 42 News Announced

    Sesame Workshop has finally issued a press release regarding the upcoming season 42 of Sesame Street, which sounds like a shock. APRIL FOOLS!

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    I thought that was due to Frank just dubbing voices most of the time. Since he was dubbing the voices anyway, why not? Though it seems like a missed opportunity... Oz was only doing the voices, and yet the movie still hardly had any direct interraction between his characters.

    Characters/Sketches Based on Contemporary Celebrities/Pop Culture

    I'm pretty sure they always intended on having the various sketches repeated in multiple episodes. Should I state the obvious and mention Monsterpiece Theater, the parody of Masterpiece Theater, starring Cookie Monster as Alistair Cookie, a parody of Alistair Cooke? And of course there's...

    The Muppet Mindset

    Very cool. That is one of the best opening number, and it's a shame those ginerbre:cool:ad men weren't used elsewhere. When I first saw who the featured Muppet would be I thought it'd be a straightforward article on them, until I saw the fake names listed for each individual gingerbread man...

    Kirk Thatcher Interview - Need Questions for Henson.com Podcast

    I wish I could think of something to ask about Waldo, aside from why he hasn't been used since Muppet Vision 3D. But it's cool that the Red Book will finally have some sort of entry related to The Jim Henson Hour (even if it doesn't say anything more about the show other than focusing on one...

    Disney Dreams Muppet Plush

    Well while the design on the shirt was original when Palisades released it, it pretty much matches the daredevil outfit Gonzo wore in the Edgar Bergen, Teressa Brewer, and John Cleese episodes. Though Gonzo wore shorts in the John Cleese episode. I've noticed that with that outfit he's worn...

    I was never scared of the sketch. It was a favorite, even as a child.

    The VHS Thread

    But still, I'm pretty sure they didn't stay in theaters for more than a year. An episode of Everybody Hates Chris made a mention of Ghostbusters coming out on video four years later... Still confused by that line, depending on if it was true. Considering the high price, I wonder if that's...
