    Little things we've noticed

    Michael Earl has said that during the time he was on the show, he, Brian Meehl, And Caroll Spinney were the only performers on the set every day. And I think season 12 is when both performers really start to do a lot of character (which could be attributed to most of the other main performers...

    Little things we've noticed

    I kind of feel like the first rendition of The People in Your Neighborhood, with a fireman and a postman, is the signature, definitive, "go to" version of the segment, and yet at the same time, it seems like it's not. It is the version they often take clips from when representing it in a...

    Little things we've noticed

    There are a lot of rare segments that the only reason images came to Muppet Wiki in the first place (at least before the arrival of trusted sources) is because somebody had a foreign dub copy of the segment. For years I was thinking many of these rarities - including segments with such...

    The Great Muppet Caper original theatrical trailer (1981)

    I didn't notice Beaker there until I saw it on DVD. I saw the recent Fanthom screening of the movie, and there are many points where I heard music or lines that I don't recall hearing before. Maybe the speakers are louder, maybe it's because I keep my TV and lap top volume at half way as...

    Any Ernst Fans?

    One thought I just recently had: if Vern had been a character who appeared on-screen and his voice was heard, do you think the Ernest movies would have been really different? Might we have instead gotten titles like Ernest and Vern Go to Camp or Ernest and Vern Scared Stupid?

    It seems that Frank Oz has been kicked out of the modern day Muppet projects…

    The part I quoted was about Steve, not Frank.

    It seems that Frank Oz has been kicked out of the modern day Muppet projects…

    Yeah, I didn’t think the headline was really that bad like some fans are saying on Facebook. One fan said that they want nothing to do with him, I said it seems they just don’t invite him back (and he’s mentioned being too expensive and demanding), I was told that’s basically what not being...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    That or Covid, but that hasn’t stopped further Sesame DVDs.

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    Next DVD release, coming November 23, is Wonderful World of Friends. When I saw it noted on the wiki under "recent changes", I wondered if it'd be like a follow-up to Best of Friends, or maybe themed around episodes and segments based on friendship. But when I looked in the Sesame Street...

    Little things we've noticed

    Maybe he could have been there in place of the lavender member. Don't know why I'm thinking that one should be absent if any should have. In one group page, somebody pointed out that the wiki page for season 10 mentions that among the new characters that seasons is a physically disabled...

    Little things we've noticed

    One thing that’s hit me: Little Jerry never appeared without the group (even if it’s less members and some are different), while The Monotones (the regular, classic members) appeared without him once, and Big Jeffie made many solo appearances (and therefore, Big Jeffie has made more appearances...

    Little things we've noticed

    Yeah, at first I didn't think they'd show a record image, then I heard some people bring up the possibility somewhere. Now I wonder if they were named in the script for the first appearance of Mad (assuming the first script doesn't just list the song title with no scripted info, which I've...

    Little things we've noticed

    The first time Little Jerry and the Monotones were referred to by name was in a season two episode where somebody buys a Little Jerry and the Monotones album. I don't think the wiki has images from that episode yet, who knows if a cover image is shown or if it's a different Little Jerry and the...

    Little things we've noticed

    After the talk about Guy Smiley’s few appearances in the early years, I decided to check, and it looks to me like Guy Smiley made an average of five appearances or less per season when Jim Henson was performing him. Of course this does not count segments where he’s mainly just in the background...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Missed when episode 2030 was uploaded a few months ago (or I probably forgot the episode number for that one). The library scenes are interesting, in that it's probably the most Bruno spoke in full sentences (though they are all the same basic sentence - "No no no, I want to hear the story"). I...

    Any Ernst Fans?

    A few nights ago I saw Ernest Goes to School for the first time in years. It's interesting, I can't tell why the guy from the school board clearly wants to shut down the school. I had forgotten about the scenes with Rodney doing school announcements, yet I also feel there's less of those than...

    Cool Counting Collection: MC Style

    I didn't see the last post about how some choices were made until now. Good points on the number 8 segments involving The Count. On one hand, the real Cool Counting Collection is the first home video release of Eight is Great and Cloud 9, on the other, I do like Eight Beautiful Notes and...

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night I dreamt…. I guess I was back in school again, but they had the Sesame Street cast do a speech or something, and I got to hang out with Sonia Manzano for the day, with her coming with me to classes.
