    TV show DVD featurette observation

    I think that the puppet segments should have been included as part of the show, just like they originaly were (though I don't know if any were shot and unaired).

    Why didn't Jim Henson have any writing credits in the first three Muppet movies?

    It's odd that Henson didn't write any of the movies. When he started out he did almost everything, and as time went by and more people were hired he did less. But I'm sure that he trusted Jerry Juhl. I am sure that many elements of the movie were hs ideas (shooting outdoors, Kermit riding a...

    Potential Idea for a 40th Anniversary Special DVD Release

    Oh, rats. I forgot to include sketches with Wally and Ralph, George the Farmer, Julius and Jasper, and Christopher Clumsy on that first disc. And the original Sing and Somebody Come and Play. And James Earl Jones reciting the alphabet. Anyway, this is what I'd do for disc 2. Ernie and...

    Potential Idea for a 40th Anniversary Special DVD Release

    I have thought up a few differnet ideas of what sketches to include and how to include them. This is one of my ideas for disc 1, which would be the 1969-1979 disc. Ernie and Bert Ice Cube Collection Bert's Bottlecaps Ernie Locks Bert Out Ernie Imagines Him and Bert with Different...

    TV show DVD featurette observation

    Having those compilations on the season sets is useless. The "Boris Badenov: Master of Disguise" feature is the only one of those that makes sense.

    Potential Idea for a 40th Anniversary Special DVD Release

    Somehow I have a feeling that if a four-disc release was released with each disc focusing on a certain decade, then the majority of fans would watch the first two discs more than the other two. Or that the kids watching would only want to watch discs 3 and 4. I had some ideas for special...

    I don't like Clifford, do you?

    I agree with that, but judging from what I know about the InnerTube pilot, it seems like Jim Henson initially wasn't too interested in making it a regular follow-up to The Muppet Show. From what I've read, Kermit and Miss Piggy were the only established characters to appear, and they both only...

    Oscar's sidekicks by themselves

    It's kinda weird. Out of all Oscar's sidekicks, the one that's also performed by Caroll Spinney (Bruno) seems to be the one seen without Oscar the least. The song I mentionend is the only time I can remember Bruno being seen without Oscar, though there are a few instances where Bruno and...

    The Boy, The Girl and the Jellybeans

    That "re-u-ni-ted" line sounds like a song to me. Was that sung in the sketch at that point, or did you just quote it (assuming I am right about it being a line from a song) for fun? If the sketch has any brief song lines then hopefuly Sesame Workshop can one day work out a deal to include it on...

    Potential Idea for a 40th Anniversary Special DVD Release

    I have recently thought of an idea for a great four-disc 40th anniversary DVD set. I've actually thought of it a few days ago, and thought about waiting until next april fools day to post a gag thread, but decided that I can't wait until then (and we'll probably already know what's planned for...

    Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street

    Another book that would be great if this book will be like is The Moose That Roared, a biography for Jay Ward and Bill Scott. While that book doesn't have many pictures, it has plenty of detailed information about Jay Ward's various productions (mainly Rocky and Bullwinkle, but it includes...

    Hmmm, that sounds a little challenging. I can write for Gordon, but don't know if I can write for somebody acting like Gordon.

    Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street

    If this book has scripts and scene descriptions presented like in Sesame Street Unpaved, I think that more fan favorites shoudl get their own sections. A two-page spread of Harvey Kneeslaper sketches would be nice, as would a big section on Forgetful Jones. Back when Unpaved was released I was...

    scripts in Sesame Street Unpaved

    After reading this I started wondering if the writer watched the sketches for reference or if he looked at the scripts, or if he did a little of both. It's very difficult to transcribe a scene word-for-word, even after watching it many times. And I've read that the performers often improvise, so...

    SST Season 25 outline: a warm spring day

    Why shouldn't they? It's my outline, and as far as I know they weren't puled from the show by season 25. I don't know of any episodes from that season or later that did include them, but I also don't know that they weren't ever shown around that time. If you think The Four Seasons shouldn't...

    SST Outline: Forgetful Jones' three wishes

    No, I didn't. Gina announced the sponsors. Oops, I wrote "Gina announces the sponsor" instead of "sponsor". But I always intended on having Gina, not the genie, announcing the sponsors.

    Oscar's sidekicks by themselves

    There was once a song where Bruno sang with a group of garbage men. People have told me it's called Put it in the Trash Can, but people at Muppet Wiki later questioned it, not being able to look up any songs with that title, and with none of us having any english copies of the song. But Bruno...
