    The Song of the Count vs. The Batty Bat

    I did some checking at Muppet Wiki to see which one has had more audio releases, and The Song of the Count has actually been released more, though only by one release (SotC has 7 releases, BB has 6). It seems like The Song of the Count is never included in any anniversary specials or...

    The Muppets Should Host the 2012 Oscars

    I know the Muppets have done live appearances countless times, but could they easily host a live show that lasts more than 3 hours? Maybe it would be better if the Muppets hosted a parody of the Oscars. Make it a TV or direct-to-video special, have it last two hours, have the nominations be...

    The Song of the Count vs. The Batty Bat

    Two of The Count's signature songs are The Song of the Count and The Batty Bat. The Song of the Count came out in season four, the season The Count made his debut, and seems to be the song most associated with the character for many years. Then The Batty Bat came out in season 17 and seems to be...

    Murray's Song Requests

    I think it's been awhile since there was a new Sesame Street DVD themed around song sketches. With the exception of the Hot n Cold number (the only way I could see that on an official Sesame DVD would be if it were aimed at adults) I could honestly see this kind of DVD actually produced (well I...

    Murray's Song Requests

    I haven't done a fan fic in awhile, so please enjoy this. It's my attempt at a Sesame Street "video" hosted by Murray Monster (aside from the fact that very few Sesame Street DVDs in the past years have had linking material, why hasn't Murray hosted any video releases?). Announcer: Ladies...

    View Master Interactive Vision

    I wonder if making DVD (or even VHS) copies and then selling the main copies and the systerm would be a big loss. If you make copies then you can't really play the games or make choices. I wonder if anybody with these ever made multiple copies of each video, with each choice selected on a...

    Could Lips have been dropped during production of GMC?

    Animal and Zoot were part of Solid Foam in one episode. Interestingly, last year I found out there was an article on JHH in Muppet Magazine which referred to Solid Foam as being a mix of old and new musicians, consisting of Animal, Zoot, Beard, and Digit. It makes me wonder if the "Food" episode...

    Little things we've noticed

    There is a goof I've noticed in Follow That Bird for years. I can't remember if I ever mentioned it on the forum or not. But it concerns the scene where it's announced on the news that Big Bird is going back to Sesame Street. When Big Bird sneaks out of the house, it's starting to get dark...

    Could Lips have been dropped during production of GMC?

    They never appeared with the main characters going to stop the villians, so I wouldn't count them. It's not like they kept disapearing and reappearing. Part of me wonders why there were more characters in the hotel who didn't go to stop the villians (or ride bicycles or get thrown off the...

    Your Muppet mistakes

    I had some misconceptions about The Muppet Show, before I saw any actual episodes and only saw the compilation videos. For example, all of the compilation videos I had seen (both the Playhouse Videos and It's the Muppets!) listed the main eight performers from the later seasons and no other...

    Who are the Joe Raposo and Jeff Moss of today?

    Two of Sesame Street's most celebrated songwriters are Joe Raposo and Jeff Moss. They have written several of the shows best songs. Many of their songs are known even by casual fans. But which of today's songwriters would you say are the modern equivielent to Joe and Jeff?

    Your Thoughts: Henson's Place DVD

    I wonder if maybe Carol Spinney didn't want to be interviewed. Though he was intervied in that behind-the-scenes footage obviously shot in the 1980s that was included in the 40th anniversary DVD. I'm convinced a Sesame Street documentary was planned in the early 1980s, though I don't know for sure.

    Could Lips have been dropped during production of GMC?

    I wonder if Dr. Teeth and Floyd are really too different from each other. Both are cool characters, both enjoy things that are hip and groovy, both act like leaders (Dr. Teeth has his name in the band title and does most of the lead singing, while Floyd interacts more with characters outside the...

    Today is Exercise Day with Oscar. Makes me wish the site would add that segment mentioned in the 40th anniversary book, where Oscar jogs in central park.

    The Muppet Mindset

    Looking at that list of kids shows on PBS, I've just got to say that it wouldn't be a big loss of kids didn't get to see Barney and Friends. ;)

    This Frog vs. My Pollywog Ways

    Thinking some more about how fans would think if a new version of My Pollywog Ways (or This Frog, though it hadn't been brought up) were recorded with a different frog (Muppet or otherwise), I wonder what the fan reaction would be if Sesame Street introduced a new frog character, basically a...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Silly Storytime DVD with Special Guest Reporter Kermit

    The 40th anniversary DVD lists it as being from season 11 (the 1979-1980 season). I wonder if those sketches really were originally aired without logos, or if they were just cut for time on Noggin.
