Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
I am listening to episode 9, and there is an audio clip of (what sounds like) Clifford singing "I'm Walking on Sunshine", with either Bean Bunny or Rizzo. What is this from? I'm guessing that it's an episode of The Jim Henson Hour. If he's singing with Rizzo then it must be Muppet Beach Party.
I don't know, but that song also mentions Senor Wenches, who didn't guest star until the next season (it's a wonder that Scooter didn't mention any guests who ended up not appearing ont he show at all).
I wonder what video company is going to release this. I'd be surprised if The Jim Hneson Company distributed the set on it's own, as all previous Jim Henson video labels have been distributed by other companies. I hope that this set isn't only available by mail (I don't order things, but if it's...
On the first set Disney (most likely) mistakenly excluded two Muppet News sketches from the Joel Grey episode, and on the second set they mistakenly included English Country Garden in two episodes. We all assume that this is due to certain masters being used. Maybe on the next set Disney will...
Did they show the sketch where chickens play piano from the Edgar Bergen episode (which has a red-ish background), or the Bernadette Peters episode (which has a blue background)? Or could this have been from a different episode?
Kermit: Luckily, Jim Henson met a man named Lord Lew Grade who was willing to give us Muppets our very own variety show.
Miss Piggy: And it was shot in England. You know, out of town.
Scooter: And it was the greatest television show ever.
Pepe: No it wasn't.
Fozzie: Wh-what do you mean...
Bean Bunny: Those Sesame Street clips were sooooooooooo cute!
Elmo: Yes, they were.
Oscar: Cute? ugh! I'm leaving.
Pepe: Yeah, I don't like cute clips either, okay. Unless the cute factor involves cute women.
Kermit: Anyway, Sesame Street was successful, but due to the educational nature...
The Mail-It Shop was turned back into the Fix-It Shop again last season (with no episodes explaining or showing the change), so it was the Fix-It Shop. And the bonus feature is probably 15 minutes long. I've heard that the DVD is 60 minutes long, so if the main program is 45 minutes long, then...
Yesterday, it was announced that the first two american DVD releases of Play with Me Sesame later this year, and today it's been announced that a DVD release of Henson's early work is being planned. At this rate I hope that we hear news of another great Henson-related DVD release (like The...
I've never even heard of that sketch. What do you know about this sketch (by that I mean what information do you know, in case that came off as sounding like an insult)?
Do you mean that Craig Shermin said that he'd like to see them on future sets again, or that Craig Shermin said the DVD producer would like to see them on future sets again? If it's Craig Shermin who wants them to be included again, I don't know how promising that would be. He works for Henson...
This would make a good three-disc set:
Disc 1:
all surviving episodes of Sam and Friends
Wilkins Coffee, IBM, Purina Do Chow, Wilsons Meat, and La Choy Chow Mein commercials
La Choy Chow mein industrial film
Wilsons Meat industrial films
Disc 2:
"I've Grown Accustomed to Your...
For the broadway album idea, maybe a song or two from Hairspray could be included as well. Maybe Miss Piggy could sing I Can Hear the Bells or Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now (Floyd and others could make jokes about Miss Piggy during the song).
Of course, there are a lot of broadway musicals that...
Actually, both songs (as with pretty much every song from the Muppet movies; I've heard that Tim Curry's lines from Proffessional Pirate were sung live while the rest was pre-recorded) were pre-recorded before the scenes were filmed, so performers would have been lip-syncing to vocal tracks...
Somethign else that's interesting: while the growing plants is a problem throughotu pangea, the wax fruit company seems to have it under controll, as there are no plants seen around the factory. I don't think there were any in Mr. Richfields trailer, either.
Kermit: During the 1960s, Jim Henson tried to get us Muppets our very own show, and was a bit unsuccessful with that.
(clips from Tales of the Tinkerdee, Land of Tinkerdee, The Wizard of Id, and the Cinderella pilot are shown)
Kermit: But then Jim Henson reluctantly gave us Muppets our...
Yeah, I noticed that. I wondered why I hadn't remembered it. I figured that it was cut from it's release in All-Star Alphabet (the introduction is cut as well), and had thought I just forgot about it when I first saw it.
This is awesome! I would be surprised if Timepiece wasn't included (I think The Jim Henson Company owns that production, so there shouldn't be any legal problems there).
I also hope that there are some interviews with people like Jane Henson, Robert Payne, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Craig...
