    Episode 12? (lost episode)

    A ton of episodes did not make the cut to HBO Max, not just the truly lost episodes.

    I'm back, and a few HBO questions....

    Of course that's the list.

    I'm back, and a few HBO questions....

    Muppet Wiki has a list on their HBO Max page. Unfortunately, halfway through last year, the majority of classic episodes were taken off the site. The service now only has episodes from seasons 1, 5, and 7 (and 39-up).

    It's The Muppet Show! (audio from Fisher-Price Talk-To-Me Book)

    Seems like the majority of the book borrows from the show (or maybe many of the jokes are just old standards). Most of Fozzie's jokes had been done on the show, the Veterinarian's Hospital sketch looks like an adaptation of the Cow sketch from the Dom DeLuise episode (without the "we want...

    It's The Muppet Show! (audio from Fisher-Price Talk-To-Me Book)

    It's still there. It won't play embedded here, but if you click on the link it'll play.

    Questions about anything

    Recently I saw The Pee-wee Herman Show (the original, not the Broadway revival) for the first time, and noticed the credited said "written by the cast" (and then it adds one name I forget, I guess a writer who wasn't a performer). I'm guessing the cast mainly wrote their own segments (with...

    Question about law regarding children's programming on network television

    I thought this rule started in 1996 or 1997 (when CBS notably only accepted educational programming for Saturday mornings and canceled everything on its saturday morning line-up except for Beakman's World). Then recently The Nostalgia Critic did a video on Garfield and Friends, and he said that...

    Old Nickelodeon

    I might have asked before (or maybe it was on a Facebook group page), but did anybody watch the New Years 1997 marathon at midnight? I feel like I saw some of it but not all of it, and I'd really like to know what the surprise teased in this commercial was. Nick New Year's Eve '97 Promo-...

    Little things we've noticed

    I was looking at the Muppet Wiki page for the computer game Muppets on Stage... Muppets on Stage | Muppet Wiki | Fandom Is it just me or does it look like Gonzo is wearing the checkered outfit he would wear starting with Muppet Classic Theater in the game (which came out in the 1980s)?

    Sam and Friends - Old Black Magic

    I've been watching the Sam and Friends episode with "Old Black Magic".... Can anybody tell if the characters on the television screen are just behind a cut-out hole in the screen area or if they were actually projecting pre-recorded video on the TV? I always thought the set was just cut to...

    Bert sees Snuffy

    Recently, the clip where Bert sees Mr. Snuffleupagus has surfaced on YouTube. Sesame Street - Bert sees Snuffy - YouTube It is interesting. When Big Bird invites Bert to meet Snuffy, and Bert doesn't want to meet an imaginary friend, I can't quite tell if he's nicer or about the same as...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    There's a song called "Words", by Missing Persons. The common lyric is "what are words for? 'Cause no one listens anymore." So was that topical back when the song was written? Is it true that, at least back then, nobody listened anymore? And if no one listened anymore, how could they be sure...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    I've known this for a while and keep forgetting to report it here, but the next release, coming January 31, is Furry Friends Forever. I am not sure what the main program is, something animated with Elmo and Tango. I would think the recent Furry Friends Forever: Elmo Gets a Puppy special, but...

    Little things we've noticed

    Thinking more about Before and After… I wish that the pumpkin hippie lost his hair in the second to last take of the group, and then at the end was holding his hair in his hand, along with the leader holding his hat in his hand.

    Little things we've noticed

    As I was watching last night, I was also kind of hoping the pumpkin member’s nose would have fallen off. I’ve heard they use t-pins to hold noses on, I wonder if it would have hurt to just press in it to make it fall off on purpose. We only briefly hear the hippies individual voices. We hear...

    Little things we've noticed

    After watching the season two Before and After song, I am convinced that the pumpkin hippie's hair falling off his head was deliberate (maybe decided upon after all those takes where the fat blue hippie's hat falls off). As I was watching, in the previous scenes, he is moving wildly, but in...

    Dreams about Muppets

    I dreamt that Muppet Wiki had some new info on The Muppets Mayhem. In the dream, I learned that each episode would heavily be Muppet Show compilations, with the guides confirming many songs from two individual episodes per episode (so for example, one guide mentioned it would have four song...

    Sesame Street Season 53 Episode 5306 - Bert’s Bike Time with Luis (Emilio Delgado Tribute)

    I was surprised to hear about this. I was thinking they would have dedicated an episode to Emillio last season. And I was expecting this one to be dedicated to Bob McGrath. A little eerie that they planned an episode as a tribute to one former cast member and it just happened to premiere the...

    The "You know what?" thread

    The other night I was watching the ME-TV "Tiny Toony Christmas Special", I noticed that back in the golden age of animation there weren't a lot of Christmas shorts, and yet most of the ones shown have very little dialogue, many focused more on being cute. And yet of the shorts featured that...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Over the years, there have often been new cable channels. I don’t think my cable provider ever added any new channels on the day they premiered. My cable provider always just added several new channels at once when they did. But I assume new channels do get added at launch somewhere. I think...
