Jim Henson Idea Man
Remember the life. Honor the legacy. Inspire your soul. The new Jim Henson documentary "Idea Man" is now streaming exclusively on Disney+.
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.
Yes, it did take years to get this show on the air, but The Muppet Movie was went into production three years after the show began, and I doubt tha Henson would have hired people to write a script before a deal for the movie was made. I know you didn't say this, but I also doubt that a script...
It seems like it's been common for Caroll Spinney, Jim Henson and Frank Oz to perform characters interracting with each other, but not as common for other performers, like Martin Robinson, Kevin Clash, or Richard Hunt.
I think that the following videos could have had clips from the movies:
The Kermit and Piggy Story: Never Before, Never Again, The Rainbow Connection, The First Time it Happens, and maybe the wedding sequence from The Muppets Take Manhattan (following the staged wedding sketch).
Rock...
I recall the clip form The Muppets Take Manhattan also being edited. I think the video cut the brief scene where Gonzo speaks to the boat driver. After Gonzo mentions that the chickens will do their impression of Tony Bennet singing the William Tell Overture, it cuts straight to the chickens...
I figured that. What I was wondering was why Henson didn't just use one of the animated logo sequences from the 1980s (though I'm not sure when those were created, and I don't know when Henson bought the rights to the show).
Often when I see or hear about a Sesame Street sketch from the 1980s where Jim Henson performs a character who co-stars with a character who was performed by somebody who joined Sesame Street in the 1980s (or even late-1970s), I often wonder how those performers felt, being able to work with the...
I often wonder why a new shot of Zoot was used for the closing logos after the distribution rights to the show were sold. I mean, couldn't Henson have just replaced the ending shot with the Henson Associates logo used in various 1980s productions instead (then again, I do not know if the...
Actually, this ending was used before 1995. This ending was always used on Nickelodeon, which began airing reruns in 1994. This shot was also used in Time-Lifes release of the Harry Belafonte episode. This shot was also included in the "It's the Muppets" compilation videos from 1993.
The...
Most sources have said that Steve Whitmire's first performance as Ernie was in Sesame Street Stays Up Late, from late 1993 (the 25th anniversary video was probably made much earlier, and even if it wasn't, Steve Whitmire didn't perform in the video, which might be an explanation for Ernie's...
I thought that a movie deal wasn't made untill sometime during or after the second season. Then again, untill a few months ago I also thought that the Muppet Meeting Films began sometime in the 1960s, not 1975. And there are other things that I mistakenly thought for a long time.
Are you saying that Jack Burns got fired from writing for The Muppet Show because of attitude problems? I never knew that. Of course, Jack Burns did get hired to write The Muppet Movie.
I think that Global Grover DVDs would also be good. Feature three Global Grover sketches per volume, plus one or two Global Thingy sketches and some sketches that have to do with countries that Grover talks about.
Do all three skits have the exact same cheerleaders and the exact same background? I know that the first season had a number of skits with cheerleaders, featuring a bald green guy, a blue guy with black hair (he looks like Hard Head Henry Harris without sunglasses), a small purple guy with...
I finally know what skits are included on Getting Ready for School, so I will list what skits would make bonus skits (of course, looking a listing of what skits are included, there are a lot of skits that I don't recall seeing or hearing about):

This should be in the Classic Sesame Street section, not the Classic Muppets section. That currently isn't available on video or DVD, but I do know that it's available at You Tube. I don't know the exact link, though.
There is also going to be a nostalgia Sesame Street box set, called Sesame...

I've made different lists before, but I'll make another one.
If full episodes are included, I'd like to see all season premiers that this set covers. I also want to see a lot of first season epsiodes, episodes that revolve around Mr. Snuffleupagus being Big Bird's imaginary friend, and...
You said that you were on the set when the movie screening room scenes were being filmed. I've noticed that the first take in that room was a long take, with the camera moving in one take and many characters from the same performers talking at different times. I doubt that there would have been...
