    How did you become a fan of the Muppets?

    Man, I've been a fan for so long it's hard to really determine how I became such a fan. My family did buy me some Muppet toys and merchandise as a very young kid, probably a baby. And I saw Muppet Babies during most of it's original run. Though I was still a fan when I started school, it seems...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    One thing that I didn't notice until after the tvshowsondvd link was posted again, and I don't know how I missed it at The Muppet Newsflash, was that some of the celebrities in the set were mentioned. The set was said to have appearances by Robert DeNiro, Destiny's Child, and Alicia Keys (DeNiro...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    I can't wait to see how the clips are going to be presented. WIll they be arranged by season or grouped some other way (such as "Street Scenes and Stories", "Songs", "Animation", "Muppets", and so on)? Will there be special introductions or will they all be shown back-to-back-to-back? Obviosuly...

    The Muppet Central Freelance Writers Guild Project

    Maybe it might be nice to do soem "collaborative" articles. Like maybe have us fans nominate some thngs for big list articles. I'm thinking stuff like "The Top 100 Muppets", "The Top 100 Henson Series Episodes", "The Top 100 Sesame Street Inserts", "The Top 100 Muppet Merchandise Items", stuff...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    Why do I have a feeling that the back cover will be similar to the front cover, with more stills? Has anybody noticed that the 1990s appears to be the decade least represented on the cover? It's a shame that the cover has no News segments. I'm sure we'll get a News segment or two...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    I compared the images on the cover with what I put in my wishlist in the thread about voting for clips on amazon, and 7 of the clips I nominated are on the cover (in this cae I'm counting all parts of the banana in ear sketch as one). I put Rubber Duckie in that wishlist, meaning the true...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    Something just hit me: Some of the Bert and Ernie segments that are on the cover in still form were included in the clip montage from Things That I Remember. I wonder how possible it is that that's gonna be included, and the others not. Or maybe those can be included as well as Things That I...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    There have been videos and DVDs that had still images on the back of material not on the releases. And that one online trailer for Being Green had several clips not on the video. But I trust that they will all be included (unless somethign gets removed at last minute). One thing that's...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    Actually, I noticed twelve instances of double-dipping in the photo. Well, double-dipping from American releases. Rubber Duckie - it's been in Sing-Along, Sesame Street's 25th Birthday, and many other releases. Bein' Green - it's been released in Sesame Street's 25th Birthday and Old...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    That Alistar Cookie image looks like it might be either Me, Claudias or Upstairs, Downstairs. YES! Finally! Actually, I think both images are from the 1 sketch. That bakwer image shows him holding one wedding cake. That's what the fanmemories say he held, and that's what a 1970 Sesame...

    the scarcity of green grover

    Well, Sesame Workshop has just recently chosen to include a green Grover clip on sesamestreet.org, the first and last sketch. I hope this becomes a trend for the site (it'd be nice if we got a new green Grover sketch every friday until they ran out). The Grover scene from Baker Number 5 was cut...

    Little things we've noticed

    I've been thinking about small but interesting things that we may have noticed in certain Sesame Street inserts or episodes. Anybody notice anything like this? I'll list some: I just watched "I Gotta Be Clean" today and noticed that Bert appears to have a Rubber Pigeon in the bathtub. I...

    Muppet Peter Pan

    I never thought Peter Pan would be released until after Muppet Robin Hood. But then again, I also thought that Muppet Robin Hood was supposed to come after the first four issues of The Muppet Show Comic Book.

    Jim Henson's season 2 films

    I just saw that Bumble Ardy is available for viewing at sesamestreet.org. I didn't think it was. It is interesting, though; If you search for "henson" at sesamestreet.org, most of Henson's non-Muppet contributions are there, but Bumble Ardy isn't.

    Proud to be a Cow

    I just saw Proud to be a Cow on youtube, and I noticed that in the introduction, Fred the Wonder Horse sounded different than usual. Was that Michael Earl? It sort of sounded like Earl's Forgetful Jones voice.

    Disney Goes Anime

    I saw this movie today. It was good. The animation style reminded me of 1960s and 1970s animation, especially late-1970s Sesame Street animation.

    The Brand New Ask Jim Lewis Thread

    In season 5 of The Muppet Show, a new addition to The Electric Mayhem was added, a trumpet player named Lips. Though he didn't really develop a personality, he did appear alongside the band for years, most notably in The Great Muppet Caper and A Muppet Family Christmas, but he hasn't been seen...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    Of course, it was announced that the upcoming 40th anniversary book will include a bonus DVD. That could be like a third disc. So far only the first episode has been confirmed as being included, so it wouldn't be much extra incentive for those with the first Old School set (I'd be surprised if...
