    Now Hiring: Greens Only!

    (Grover walks to a new grocery store) Grover: (noticing the audience) Oh, hello, there! It is I, your furry blue friend Grover, and guess what? There is a new grocery store in town! (turns his head and sees the "Now hiring" sign) Oh, well will you look at that? The sign says "now hiring". Oh...

    Oscar out of his can

    It seems like during the early years, Oscar was almost always seen inside his trash can. On the Old School set, the only times he was outside of his can were in C is for Cookie and in the season 4 and 5 closing credit crawls. Still, does anybody know when it became common for Oscar to appear out...

    "If I ran the Muppets" thread. Post YOUR good ideas HERE!

    Oh, yeah... If I ran the Muppets, I would give The Jim Henson Company to continue distributing anything that it has with the Muppets that are owned by Disney. I believe that Sesame Workshop already has this privledge.

    Beat the Time-The Last Show?

    That must have been a real challenge, including everything from every actual Beat the Time sketch and everything from most of the Beat the Time fan fics.

    You're Alive!

    The singer in that song is named Little Chrissy. The song can be found on the video/ DVD Rock & Roll! I'm not sure whether that DVD is still in print (It's been two years since I last saw the DVD in stores).

    "If I ran the Muppets" thread. Post YOUR good ideas HERE!

    You know, back in 1994, there was some kind of contest at McDonald's regarding Sega Genesis. I forget the whole terms of the contest, but I believe that fans could fill out a form, suggesting an idea for a video game, and I think that idea would be made. So I filled a form, titling my game...

    When did Alaina Reed (Olivia) leave Sesame Street?

    I know that episodes were rerun in later seasons with different episode numbers and sometimes different sketches since the 1980s. I wonder if it ever happened during the 1970s. Oddly enough, the hurricane episodes have been repeated with the original episode numbers, but with a handful of...

    Here's what I would do concerning DVDs... If I was in charge now, I would check on the progress of clearing music rights for The Muppet Show: Season 2, and also check on features and the restoration process. If at least 95 percent of the music rights are cleared, then I would set a specific...

    "If I ran the Muppets" thread. Post YOUR good ideas HERE!

    Here are some merchandising ideas: I would approve of a collection of Muppet Comic Books. They would be formatted like The Simpsons comic books, with a main 10-15 page comic story featuring the main cast, and a shorter, 5-6 page story either based on a recurring sketch (Pigs in Space...

    Muppet Babies video edits

    If Muppet Babies gets released on DVD (or rerun on television again), I wonder if the Henson Associates logo will still be there, or if it will be replaced by the Muppet Studos logo. Then again, the Jim Henson Pictures logo was included in Disney's DVD releases of TMM and GMC (and that opening...

    When did Alaina Reed (Olivia) leave Sesame Street?

    Although Jim Hensona nd Frank Oz became too busy to perform in the street scenes by then, I often wonder if there was ever any consideration to try harder to work around their schedules for such historical episodes as the cast meeting Snuffy, Big Bird learning about Mr. Hooper's death, and the...

    "If I ran the Muppets" thread. Post YOUR good ideas HERE!

    I have been thinking about the idea of there being theatrically-released Muppet shorts. Maybe they can be released alongside every Disney release, and at the end of every year, a DVD with all those shorts can be made available. Maybe there can be two Pigs in Space shorts, a Statler and Waldorf...

    Genius Products and Sesame Workshop Announce Distribution/Co-Production Agreement

    Does anybody know when Sony Wonder's contract to release Sesame Street DVDs and CDs ends? I know that the TV Fun Packs were released today, though I didn't see them in stores, and I suspect that Sony Wonder released them. I also hope that this doesn't affect the chances of having new Sesame...

    Why should future Muppet Babies DVDs be released at McDonald's, anyway? Why not at retail?

    When did Alaina Reed (Olivia) leave Sesame Street?

    Yeah, she probably should have made a special "comeback appearance" long ago, perhaps during season 25.

    Am I the only one who didn't like the Calypso Theme Song?

    I really liked that opening. I wish that more Muppets would be in the openings.

    When did Alaina Reed (Olivia) leave Sesame Street?

    Though she was one of the few humans who didn't meet Snuffy in that episode, I would like to point out that hardly any Muppets got to see Snuffy in that episode. I don't know how many background performers were in that one, or if the only performers available were Caroll Spinney, Martin...

    When did Alaina Reed (Olivia) leave Sesame Street?

    I just got the two titles mixed up. Sometimes I wonder if Sesame Workshop ever considered having her return to the show for a guest appearance... maybe it would be a multi-part story. Out of all cast members who have left the show, having Olivia return would make the most sense. She could come...
