    TV Shows On DVD Says Muppets Tonight Could Possibly Come to DVD

    I wonder why it is usually suggested that Muppets Tonight will come out on DVD after every season of The Muppet Show is on DVD. Couldn't it be released on DVD before the last season? After all, this is a different show, not just a continuation of The Muppet Show with a new title. If Disney...

    Big Bird in China or Japan?

    I wonder why none of his writing credits are listed at the internet movie database. I also wonder if he ever considered writing for Sesame Street.

    Big Bird in China or Japan?

    Who were the Bogs? Were they those creatures who looked a bit like monsters? The ones who had a line about bringign the peanut butter jars during the end credits? According to the Internet Movie Database, he did perform Bogg as well as Mr. Knack. It is weird that he was a regular performer...

    Big Bird in China or Japan?

    Tatooey was the rat who dressed like a sailor. He did talk a slight bit faster than Telly, though. He only spoke in a few scenes: When Rizzo introduced the rats (he said "Yo!"), during Rizzos Rat Scat (he said, "The coffees fine! Come on in!"), and I think he had a line when the rats were under...

    I think Prarie Dawn did appear when Big Bird came back to Sesame Street. Her head can be seen sticking out one of the windows. I think it is in the building that Elmo stuck his head out of. She's close to the side of the screen, which makes it a bit difficult to see her. There was also a boy...

    Boxed set of classic SS episodes -- coming soon??

    However a release like this is done, I think it would be perfect if it had at least the following: Three kermit The frog segments (preferrable ones that i either haven't seen or haven't seen since I was in elementary school) four Ernie and Bert segments 2 Monsterpiece theatre...

    how would you compile a Kermit 50th anniversary CD?

    Let's say that Disney wanted to release a CD that focused on the fiftieth anniversary of Kermit The Frog. Let's say that Disney put you in charge of the tracks, but has also given you some limits: 1. All of the songs must include Kermit as the main singer, or one of the main singers. 2...

    what celebrities should appear this season?

    I think that if Sesame Workshop wanted to pay either The Jim Henson Company or The Muppets Holding Company to have any muppet characters make a crossover on the show, SW would probably just negotiate for an appearance by some major characters. I don't think Sesame Workshop would pay a lot of...

    Big Bird in China or Japan?

    Martin Robinson did imitate Brian Meehles version of the voice for his first few years as Telly. You can probably notice a big difference in Tellys voice in Follow That Bird or Learning About Letters. I have read that on the most recent video release of Big Bird In China that Robinson dubbed all...

    Sometimes I wonder if the Fraggle Rock schedule had anything to do with it, but then I realize that many background puppeteers from Fraggle Rock who didn't (to my knowledge) perform on Sesame Street or at least not american sesame street, were performers in it. People like Tim Gosley, Terry...

    Boxed set of classic SS episodes -- coming soon??

    Yeah, I read that on the Tough Pigs message board several months ago. When I first saw Big Bird In China and heard Telly speak I was confused because I was expecting Brian Meehle to have done his voice (he performed barkly, after all) and I had heard Brian Meehles Telly voice in Don't Eat The...
