    Full Body Muppets

    I've read that in Follow That Bird, in wide shots of Ernie and Bert flying the airplane, a real plane was being operated by two men dressed in Ernie and Bert costumes. I've read that the storybook adaption of the movie has a close-up picture of the whole plane, with Ernie and Bert in it, and...

    Old School Sesame coming to DVD October 2006

    I feel the same way. Bring on skits that haven't been shown on Noggin, that haven't ever been available on any home video format, and haven't been shown on Sesame Street in the last ten years (or more). Bring on Roosevelt Franklin, Guy Smiley, Biff, Sully, and Proffessor Hastings.

    Useless (but still interesting) Muppet trivia!

    I thought that he voiced Charlie-in-the-box and the Spotted Elephant. Okay, here is some useless trivia.... The spelling of the setting for the muppets on Saturday Night Live was "Gortch", and one characters name was The Mighty Fuvog, but most official sources mispell them as "Gorch" and...

    EM Band Leaving on Ballard Ep.

    It seems like Crazy Harry only appeared as part of the orchestra in the opening and closing. He also didn't appear as part of the orchestra in the Phyllis Diller episode (though there was a pig who played the clarinet for that episode only). I wonder if Crazy Harry was originally meant to be a...

    Additions to "Searchin'"

    Droop would have been another good character to have been running around in the woods. Maybe some Jugband members could have been there, too (they hardly appeared outside of their own numbers).

    Fazoobs origin

    I know that members of The Four Fazoobs made occassional appearances on The Muppet Show during the first season, before they were identified as The Four Fazoobs. Also, the Steve Martin episode is the only one where they are identified as The Four Fazoobs. So, does anybody know if these creatures...

    who performed Doglion in the Leslie Ann Warren episode?

    I was reading about Doglion at the Muppet Wiki site, and in the listing of his various performers, it does not say who performed him in the Beauty and the Beast skit from the Leslie Ann Warren episode. Did he talk in that sketch (I'm assuming that Leslie wasn't just singing to him)? Does anybody...

    characters who should have been in the meeting films

    I was reading about the Muppet Meeting Films at Muppet Wiki recently, and I learned that with the main exception of the first meeting film, the Muppet Meeting Films rarely featured appearances by recognisable muppets from The Muppet Show (though the monsters popped up from time to time)...

    Old School Sesame coming to DVD October 2006

    If the set includes complete episodes, then it would be good to see some episodes not shown on Noggin or at The Museum of Television and Radio (are there any '70s episodes there that were never shown on Noggin?). I never had Noggin, so even if all of the classics included were on Noggin I'd be...

    EM Band Leaving on Ballard Ep.

    Actually, Dr. Teeth never appeared as part of the orchestra pit in that episode, and he wasn't in the closing number. Rowlf wasn't part of the group of musicians threatening to quit. You could say that Teeth was just sticking with the band, but then Janice wasn't with the musicians who were...

    new voice for guy smiley

    Eric Jacopson performed Guy Smiley in the exhibet, and Dan Reardon performed him in the computer game.

    Old School Sesame coming to DVD October 2006

    I wonder if the Nostalgia Box Set will be styled after The Electric Company set or if it will be slightly different. If this set does have complete episodes, then maybe there could be three episodes per disc, with each disc representing a season (so we'd be getting episodes from the first...

    If you could change 3 things about Sesame Street today

    Here are my changes: 1. Have more older characters who rarely get used these days appear more, even if only in classic inserts. If it means giving Jerry Nelson an understudy for his characters then do it. Have Herry Monster, The Amazing Mumford, Biff, Sully, Sherlock Hemlock, and Buster the...

    Charachters who were phased out rather than written out

    People have mentioned Forgetful Jones and Guy Smiley being phased out, but since their performers died, they weren't phased out, they stopped appearing altogether. Unless people mean their old skits being phased out, but then again, these days there are a lot of characters whose older skits...

    TMS Script - Adam West

    Good so far. I have thought about writing an outline featuring Adam West, but haven't thought much about what kind of plot should be done, nor have I thought of what season it would be for (though I have thought about saying that it either takes place before, between, or after the Christopher...

    The Anything Muppets REAL names!

    I believe thatmany of us fans have known that the Anything Muppet patterns have names for awhile. At the Muppet Wiki website, some users have a Sesame Street Style Guide where they revealed that the names for some anyhting muppets are actually different from what some fans have been calling them...

    Old School Sesame coming to DVD October 2006

    The 25th anniversary special "Sesame Street's All-Star 25th Birthday: Stars and Streets Forever" has not been released on any official video format, either. And I'm not sure if "A Walking Tour of Sesame Street with James Earl Jones" counts as an anniversary special or a documentary (I've heard...

    Compilation FanFic - Fozzie's Muppet Scrapbook II

    This was good. I have been thinking of doing a similar fan fiction, though focusing on both Kermit and Fozzie.

    "Sesame Street Treasures Collection" coming this summer!

    Ignoring this april fools joke, in the Classic Sesame forum, there is a thread from a member here who got an e-mail about an actual vintage DVD collection. It was said that later this year, I can't remember if it is october or december 2006, there will be a Sesame Street nostalgia collection...
