One thing that shocked me was the characters who Richard Hunt either did not like or did not connect with, especially since many of them did last a long time before his death (well, I already knew he didn't like Forgetful Jones until 1988). I'm surprised the book doesn't talk about his...

Yeah, I would hope Disney and the book publisher would be okay with clearing images from Sam and Friends and Sesame Street (and the various variety show appearances not owned by Disney). I know nobody pointed this out, but I intentionally left out mentioning Muppets TV. I think such a book...

I'd been wondering if Sesame Street's 55th anniversary will get celebrated this year, and Sesame Workshop just confirmed on social media that the anniversary will indeed be celebrated. And revealed some of what to expect: A line of Sesame Street "classic beanbag toys", which will include Ernie...

It's been announced that Disney and DK Publishing will be collaborating on a new Muppet book called "Muppets on Television", to be written by Henson Company archivist Karent Falk. The book will focus on the various Muppet television series - The Muppet Show, Muppet Babies (1984), Little...

The book has been out for a few weeks, and I am surprised there isn't a thread on the book here yet (was there one when it was announced?), so I am unsure if this should go under Henson People or Muppet Merchandise. But yeah, a few weeks ago came the release of Funny Boy: The Richard Hunt...

So which song do you prefer - One Way or Don't Walk? Both songs are sung by a one-time Anything Muppet voiced by Christopher Cerf, and both involve a sight word on a sign that restricts the singer from doing something. Both tunes also keep the singer apart from his girlfriend. However, in One...

Not sure if you still hang around here or not, but do you remember where you heard that the book was started before Jim Henson died? I put that on the wiki page for the book in the early days, when they weren't so strict about citing sources (and I don't think they were saying that forum posts...

The voice must have been rough. I wonder if Brian Meehl was relieved to learn he would not make further appearances.

Been quite a while since I last started any "versus" threads for similar segments. But which D song do you like better - Disco D or D Duah Duah (aka Be MY D)? They are both disco sounding songs about the letter D that came out within a few years of each other, where the vocalists are clearly...

I feel like very few Muppets Tonight promos that aired on ABC (whether with or without exclusive footage) is online. I had created a page for Muppets Tonight promos with info on that and another one with the same set (featuring an Elvis Muppet), as well as one with Bob Saget and Fozzie Bear...

I recall a handful of Muppets Tonight ads with original content. Muppet Wiki used to have information on these (based on my own longtime memory), but previously images and video were unavailable. But just yesterday I found a video of commercial breaks on ABC and one such Muppets Tonight ad...

I can't recall off-hand.

I've seen others say this.

It's just been announced that a two-pack of Kermit and Constantine in Funko Pop form will be available exclusively at Hot Topic. Kermit and Constantine Funko Pops? Nailed It. - ToughPigs

Seems like in a number of segments that had two tapings, one of the takes was only used in one episode (often its first appearance).

Seems like the episode numbers are set in stone before the seasons begin, based on scheduled guest stars, and then based on the guests availability, taping order will change but the production order remains the same (and I guess if a guest star cancels their appearance, whoever replaces them...

Looks like I can't edit this post anymore (and I already did to add films I forgot to mention the first post), but the movie I was listed as Hollywood Canteen is actually called Stage Door Canteen.

Dave did talk about this in an interview Toughpigs did, I recall he said he didn't know why they had him do the show and he was just on for a day or two.

Top ten older movies I saw for the first time in 2023 (by "older films", I'll say movies that came before 2022): 1. The Shining 2. Pee-wee's Big Adventure 3. Mannequin 4. Superman 5. Supergirl 6. Raiders of the Lost Arc 7. Superman III 8. Midnight Madness 9. The Birds 10. Die Hard Additional...

In watching Christmas Eve on Sesame Street recently, I only now noticed that during the opening skating sequence, we never see the walk-around versions of the Muppets (aside from Big Bird) at the same time that we see the human cast. Even though it's obvious they are puppets, I guess they didn't...
