    Season 35 reruns begin April 3, 2006

    How is it making matters worse by showing season 35 episodes while we wait for season 37? It's still reruns for a longer amount of time either way. There's nothing wrong with watching reruns, especially if the reruns are episodes you haven't seen. There must be thousands of episodes that I...

    Monsters Eating Fellow Muppets

    I don't recall there being any mention of who brought the monster onboard, nor do I remember seeing Mean Mama appear backstage coming on-stage.

    Did this ever happen?

    The character guide does have some mistakes. In the current events section of Muppet Wiki, the person who wrote the guide admitted that after it was published at the Kermitage website, he learned a few of his own mistakes that were posted there. He had gotten some of the names, performers, and I...

    The "Snake" Frackles

    One thing that I forgot to point out is that in the picture I mentioned, only Lenny's head can be seen. His arms aren't really shown, so he could have been a snake in that picture.

    The "Snake" Frackles

    It's been awhile since i last watched the Florence henderson episode with the Muppet Morsels on, but I beleive that the morsels state that Lenny the Lizard evolved from the Snake Frackle, not the one that we've recently been calling Snake Frackle (though before the DVD release, we've been...

    Do you think Nigel is wimpy?

    Before I saw Sex and Violence, I expected Sam the Eagle to bully/ boss Nigel around a bit, so I was surprised at the portrayal of both characters in the special. It seems like Sam was actually less grouchy/ annoyed at the shows weirdness than usual in that special. It seems like the only...

    Muppet Fairytales / Muppet Classic Theater

    Muppet Classic Theater is a good production, at least for the time it was released, when there'd only been one muppet movie since the death of Jim Henson (oh, and let's not forget about Richard Hunt), and before Muppets Tonight was broadcast. I do wish that there were more familiar...

    The "Snake" Frackles

    I have a feeling that if the You've Got a Friend number didn't have to be cut from the DVD, the Muppet Morsels would have acknowledged him and explained his origins. That creatures other appearances (in a few audience shots and the Vincent Price opening) are probably too short to acknowledge...

    Monsters Eating Fellow Muppets

    No, Mildred never did appear backstage, but I don't think there was any rule stating that she couldn't have ever appeared backstage (most of Jim henson's non-Kermit characters didn't appear backstage much untill the second season). While The Newsman was performed by Jim Henson, who was...

    Did this ever happen?

    No, Mean Mama was never referred to by name, otherwise fans might have known better. On her page at Muppet Wiki, there is a picture of the page from the Muppet Annual where her name was mentioned. It is the picture of Mean mama in Statler and Waldorf's box that has been used many tiems, and...

    "Sesame Street Treasures Collection" coming this summer!

    Before I posted my prank, I considered mentioning in the letter some of the Ernie and Bert skits included, and making up a few skits to fool the hardcore fans into thinking that it had skts that the hardcore fans didn't even have any memory of. Here is an example: "The Ultimate Ernie &...

    Do you think it's bad that Gonzo and Camilla remind me of me and my boyfriend?

    I don't think it's bad. I think that Gonzo and Camillia get along better as a couple than Kermit and Miss Piggy.

    Did this ever happen?

    As far as I know it didn't happen. I haven't seen that happen in any Muppet Labs skits, and I can't think of any Muppet Labs skits I haven't seen where that could have happened. It sounds like your brother was describing the Gorillia detector skit, though that one had a gorillia, Beaker wasn't...

    Monsters Eating Fellow Muppets

    I noticed that Miss Piggy seemed really defenseless in the Sherlock Holmes sketch, and then I was reading this thread, and soemthing occurred to me. It seems like Miss Piggy's personality wasn't developed much in the first three episodes. Of course, the writers didn;t plan on having her be a...

    Pops falls in love

    I guess that's reasonable. Though now that I think of it, it would have been funny if there had been an episode where Hilda wanted to do something on-stage, and was so desperate that she agreed to assist Bunsen in an experiment (and become the victim). Heck, she could have offered to assist The...

    Pops falls in love

    This is a good start. It's interesting that you had Hilda ask about Bunsen, as they never interracted on the show (of course, in the first season, Bunsen rarely appeared backstage while Hilda rarely appeared on-stage). It would have been interesting if you had a similar line about The electric...

    "Sesame Street Treasures Collection" coming this summer!

    Out of the "releases" I announced, which nes are you most dissapointed about not really being able to get (at least not yet... you never know what Sesame Workshop is considering)? Personally, I am most dissapointed about not being able to get The Ultimate Ernie & Bert Collection Vol. 1, even...

    Questions for Kevin Donoghue - Video Co-Ordinator for Follow That Bird.

    I know that Caroll Spinney confirmed at the Henson Film Festival from 2004 that it was a stunt man who performed Big Bird in that scene. However, I have been wodnering lately if a stunt man performed Big Bird in the scene where Big Bird runs from Ernie and Bert's plan and then jumps to the ground.

    "Sesame Street Treasures Collection" coming this summer!

    Yeah, I'm not sure if it would be better to expand on "news" here or to do a series of newsletters in the Fan Fiction section. Anyone have any prefferences on whether more false news should be written here or in the Fan Fiction section?
