    The RHLC!

    There's something I've been wondering about Richard Hunt for awhile, and I'm not sure if I should post here or open a new thread (I can't quite figure out how to properly title it). Did Richard Hunt first officially become a performer in 1970, 1972, or in-between? We all know (or should...

    Question about Jim Henson's Performer Credits on SST

    He was credited as a performer on The Muppet Show. I think he was uncredited on one of the pilots, but not both. Can't remember which one he wasn't credited in. I think he was also credited on The Jim Henson Hour. It seems like he was usually either uncredited as a performer or credited last...

    Ruthie in season 30

    Apparantly, Ruthie was still a part of the cast in season 30, even though "Around the Corner" was dropped. It's mentioend in the 40th anniversary book, there is a season 30 cast photo with her (the only time I can recall seeing her and Alan together), and she was in teh credits for season 30...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Box Set

    I've heard that distribution has now switched from Genius to Warner Home Video, and now the book is in paperback (it should have been this way in the first place). I've seen copies in stores today and when looking at the side, sometimes it looks like there's no book, and others it can be seen. I...

    Just wondering which Muppets hadn't been chopped by Piggy?

    Unless there's something I haven't seen (and there's an awful lot of stuff I haven't seen), then... Dr. Teeth Zoot Lips Sweetums Thog Doglion The Mutations Digit Vicki Seymour Foo-Foo J.P. Grosse (he came close, though) Hilda Bobo Nigel (both of them, actually)...

    Overused Plots in Movies and TV

    You know, one variation that I'd like to see: Somebody mistakenly thinks nobody likes his/her personality and has a big change, maybe even going as far to talk in a different voice, wear a wig, and even change their name... And at the end, after realizing (or just assuming) nobody liked that new...

    More Looney Tunes DVDs coming to DVD in April

    Well, I've heard that Warner has a policy of not allowing years to be listed on DVD packaging or original features on it's animation DVDs, though there are exceptions (the Popeye sets, though I hear that's because the character copyright holders demanded it, and the Peanuts specials sets).

    Things That Disappointed You

    When I learned that the Muppets are really puppets, I wasn't disapointed, but I was disapointed to learn that Big Bird, Snuffy, and other full-body characters are costumes as opposed to really big puppets. Just kidding. Though somebody insisted to me that the Gorgs were just really big...

    Overused Plots in Movies and TV

    I think that is already the title of a Muppet Babies episode (I know, "who besides us would know?"). Interestingly, in all my years of aspiring to be a script/screenwriter and having many different ideas for television shows, episodes, and movies... Very few of the ideas mentioned in this...

    Transparent Animal

    Somebody brought this up back when the first season DVD was released, and Was Once Ernie said somehting about it being a "burn" effect, or something like that, meaning that certain lighting could make things remain on-camera.

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    It's interesting... Whenever Patty appeared in color, her hair looked brown, yet it wasn't made dark/ shaded in the black and white strips. Then again, Peppermint Patty's hair wasn't dark in black and white.

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    I know that Pig-Pen became more popular than Charles Schultz wanted him to be, so he lasted throughout the run, even though he wasn't used much. It seems like Franklin wasn't used much, either, evne though he was also in the strip up until 1999.

    Segments that were possibly taped on the same day

    Maybe it's me but it seems like Luis wore the same orange shirt in both episodes 406 and 536.

    Some observations on Episode 2096

    I haven't actually seen the full episode 2096. The full street scene where the adults meet Snuffy is on youtube (featuring more than what the 40th anniversary DVD included), and looked a tthe Muppet Wiki page, and there are a few things I noticed, that sort of struck me odd... First, in the...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    It's possible that that's what the parents were called. It is odd that 5 is apparantly the oldest, and his younger sisters were 3 and 4.

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    I thought Violet and Frieda were both major for quite a few years... Frieda might have been just a few years, thoug. Those twins were 3 and 4, sisters to 5, who appeared for quite a long time in the strips and specials (You're in Love, Charlie Brown was the only other special with the twins)...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    That's a shame. One character I'd like to talk about is Roy, who was around in the late 1960s. He was introduced in a storyline where Charlie Brown met Roy at camp, and then the enxt year Roy met Linus at camp, and then he was responsible for introducing Peppermint Patty to the gang, and was...

    More Looney Tunes DVDs coming to DVD in April

    It was announced at the golden age cartoons forum that there'll be two new Looney Tunes DVds released in april, I think on the 27th but I could be wrong about the date. Both include only cartoons not available on past "Golden Collection" sets, and are themed around Bugs and Daffy (I forget the...

    Hal Miller, the middle Gordon

    Although it's not a great example of him as a character, here is a clip with Hal Miller that can be seen at sesamestreet.org: http://www.sesamestreet.org/video_player/-/pgpv/videoplayer/0/9eea9795-14c5-11dd-908c-b1ad799cf6d2/model_airplane It seems liek Gordon was sort of the host in early...

    Sesamestreet.org relaunches for Season 39

    Now it's "Fix the Problem Day" with Abby Cadabby. I guess there must have been a glitch or mistake or something.
