    Your Thoughts: New Green and Red Christmas CD

    It seems like The Christmas Party Sing-Along was just sung by Rowlf (with background vocals by chickens and penguins). I feel like that song should have featured more characters joinning Rowlf (though it's good that he basically has a solo song on the album). It would have been great if Rowlf...

    The Next Autobiography

    I would like for Steve Whitmire, Jerry Nelson, Frank Oz, and Dave Goelz to write a book. A Brian Henson book would also be good. I wonder if he would title it "The Son of Jim Henson". Steve Whitmire could give it a title like "Filling the Flippers".

    Your Favorite Background Character

    I had started wondering... what is your definition of "background character"? Lips is definately abackground character, as he has only had three known speaking parts. Thog is also mostly a background character, but he didn't start out that way. He was a main character in his first appearance...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School DVD

    I would be surprised if Sesame Workshop started to release season sets of Sesame Street anytime soon. The first 32 seasons normally had 130 episodes per season, so the first season would have a lot of discs. It would also probably be more expensive to release season sets of Sesame Street than...

    My Version of Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    Of course, as most of us already know, Earl "Was Once Ernie" Kress only performed Ernie, and he said that the person performing Bert only performed Bert, and he mentioned that Richard Hunt performed both Statler and Janice, so somebody else performed Waldorf (I am surprised by this, and also...

    Your Favorite Background Character

    I wonder the same thing about Lips, Digit, Leon, Vicki, Lindberg, Droop, Hilda, and Nigel the conductor.

    Beat the Time with Lefty the Salesman

    That was good. I had been thinking about writing a script featuring Lefty and Guy Smiley.

    My Version of Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    That sounds cool. It's too bad that neither of the Muppet Movie DVDs have concept sketches or promotional art for the movie. Those would make great special features. I think it's interesting that the performers had to remember who they were standing next to. The whole scene was one long...

    Old School DVD Question

    No. Yes.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School DVD

    I wonder what segments will be promoted on the packaging on volume 2, if it comes out. The packaging for volume 1 pretty much only mentioned songs that are included, without talking about specific non-music sketches, I guess either becasue they didn't want to list an official title (not many...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School DVD

    I think it's weird too. After a day of not finding it after it's release, I found one copy at Suncoast. I'm surprised that it's not easier to find. Target, Toys R Us, and Walmart usually sell a lot of Sesame Street DVDs. Not that I was really interested in buying it, but The World According to...

    Little Jerry missing from the DVD box set

    I really wanted Little Jerry and the Monotones to be included on the set, too. While we're at it, let's add a new lyric to the song "Mad". "When there's a big Sesame Street set, and it excludes Little Jerry and the Monotones, that makes me MAD!" "yeah, we're angry, very, very...

    how do inserts get stored?

    Have you ever wondered how inserts that get repeated on Sesame Street are stored? Are each idnividual segment stored on a film strip, master tape, or disc and then put into whatever episode they are included in? Are all skits only included in the master tapes of the episodes they are from and...

    My Version of Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    That sounds cool. I wonder how often that kind of stuff is done for crowd scenes like that. I guess it was probably done for The Muppet Show opening and the wedding finale of The Muppets Take Manhattan, and I suppose there probably wasn't much planning like this for The Muppet Movie finale...

    TMS Season 2 coming summer 2007

    Who knows. Maybe the season 3 DVD will be the only uncut one. Maybe the DVDs for seasosn 2, 3, and 5 will be uncut. Maybe seasons 1, 4, and 5 will be the only edited releases. We won't know for sure if there is only one uncut release or only one edited release untill after season 5 is released...

    Your Thoughts: New Green and Red Christmas CD

    I thought I had read an interview with Kermit the Frog sometime last year where he had mentioned recording some new songs for the christmas album. I wonder if The Muppet Christmas Carol re-release was chosen instead as a companion piece to the rerelease of the DVD (then again, the other...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School DVD

    I thought you said you only watched the first disc. That counting skit is in the second episode on the set, in disc 2.
