I thought that this podcast was great. Though while Jim Lewis thinks that A Muppet Family Christmas was the Muppets biggest crossover (or something like that... I forget what it was he said), I think that the 30th anniversary special had more Muppets in it.

Here's another rundown: Word on the Street: Mystery Jane Tuesday: letter L Murray talks to more people about the word on the street Word of the Day Explanation: Mystery (murray voice-over added) Kermit and Cookie Monster: Mystery box (ending edited) cartoon: a bug (or maybe it was...

I've noticed that if you click on a picture of a character, as seen at the top of the page, the first sketch listed automatically plays, but if you just type in a keyword, the first listed sketch doens't automatically play. This is bad if you are watching and searching at the same time. I've...

When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought it was going to say that there would be a line of Elmo plushes meant to resemble the many different Elmo puppets used over the years (though the differences aren't as huge as the various different Ernie, Bert, Cookie Monster, or Grover puppets).

I did searches for quite a few names, and there were some that had no matches found. Names included Roosevelt Franklin (though he does appear in the background in a handful of skits included, and many character searches include skits where they only appear in the background), Bruno, Professor...

Maybe I mistook Oscar for her.

I've found several sketches that I haven't even heard of, such as a sketch where Prairie Dawn invites Grover, Herry, and Cookie over for dinner. I also contacted Sesame Workshop, suggesting some clips that I'd like to see, such as One Song (Song of One), Nine Song (Song of Nine), some skits with...

I was a bit disapointed that the section on The Count didn't include The Count's appearance in a waiter Grover sketch, or his appearance in a Miami Mice sketch. Those two segments seem to be rare. Muppet Wiki doesn't have any images from either sketch.

It's interesting that the Monsterpiece Theater sketches Chariots of Fur and Upstairs, Downstairs are shown with the original title cards, openings and closings, but The 39 Stairs is the version with the third title card and remade openings and closings (and in that one, Alistar didn't eat his...

I thought that Jim Henson's appearance on The Mickey Mouse Club didn't air because he died before he could sign a contract allowing permission to air it (of course, if I was in charge, I would have had him sign before shooting began).

I just reread the Tough Pigs post where I read about this, and noticed that it said that Buffy St. Marie signed the release papers for a DVD release last year, which most likely means 2006, and that Buffy hopes that it gets released in 2008. If the release form was signed before the release of...

I recently saw a thread at the Tough Pigs forum, which reprinted a recent article about the 1970s hawiai episodes. There were some quotes by Buffy St. Marie-Wolfchild, who mentioned that she recently signed a release form for those episodes to be released on DVD. I'll have to reread the article...

The latest episode is on the word "family". Content: The Word on the Street: Family Film: a girl awaits for her mother to give birth to a new baby (I think this film appears in A~New Baby in my House) Rosita and her family demonstrate the spanish word "Familia" (with Murray voice-over)...

Ironically, it's been said in interviews that at Steve Whitmire's last meeting with Jim Henson, Jim was frusterated over Steve not having any main characters besides Rizzo and Bean. What about Steve's other Jim Henson Hour characters? If Rizzo was so main, then why wasn't he on the show, where...

On The Jim Henson Hour, Steve Whitmire was given quite a few new-ish characters, yet Rizzo wasn't developed on the series. It seems like the writers/ producers wanted Rizzo to be a star since he was introduced in the fourth season of The Muppet Show, and Rizzo seemed to appear in the background...

Hmm, I never thought about asking if any Henson-related material will be released on HD or Blue-Ray discs next year.

Well, their residuals should be covered for broadcasts, and that version of the song has been released on video, twice, so video residuals shouldn't be a problem either.

Abby is better.

Actually, Sesame Workshop never had the rights to Kermit. Sesame Workshop has always owned the rights to the series, and The Jim Henson Company owned the rights to all of the Sesame Street Muppets until 2000. I am not really sure if Sesame Workshop co-owned the character rights or not (copyright...

I could be wrong, but I thought that Andrea Martin appeared in one cut before John Candy's third apearance in the song.
