    The "You know what?" thread

    There's one episode of The Powerpuff Girls where they meet a new friend and when they introduce her to the professor, he says that he created the Powerpuff Girls by accident (allowing for the punchline of their friend saying she was also an accident). But the Powerpuff Girls weren't really an...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Now that I've seen all of the Marx Brothers movies (except Love Happy, which I don't expect to see anytime soon.... and besides, it barely counts as a Marx Brothers movie), I'll revise my list of the top ten Marx Brothers movies. 1. Monkey Business 2. Duck Soup 3. A Day at the Races 4. The...

    Did Trump really do that, or did he just talk about doing it?

    Wow, until now I never thought about the fact that the three newest humanoid Muppets are not made from AMs.

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    I thought it was weird that they had Biff and Sully take the day off when Jerry and Richard were still on set for the episode (so it's not like the performers got the day off), but I guess it goes with them having so many coffee breaks and such when they should be working (and a funny contrast...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Some of that stuff about Bruno talking reminds me of something that is probably not ironic but got me thinking. I did not know Bruno was in that episode until images were provided. I don’t know if he just wasn’t in the draft of the script that the wiki used for reference or if they just didn’t...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Yeah, I asked about how they keep hats on heads to the Below the Frame show and they mentioned a variety of methods, while also mentioning that construction worker hats are hard to keep on (that was one I really wondered about, though I didn't specifically mention that in my question). Both...

    Didn't expect to see Bruno talk in that one. He sounds different than in Follow That Bird and "Put It in the Trash Can", sounds a little like Thog. I'd like to think Caroll Spinney provided his voice as usual, but Jerry Nelson was on set performing Biff, don't know why they'd suddenly have him...

    In real life could the building have fallen apart by hammering just one nail? Biff seems to get the blame, but wouldn’t that have happened anyway? Sully shook his head, trying to warn them against hammering the nail in the spot they did (from the descriptions I thought it was warning, but it...

    The "You know what?" thread

    The Simpson’s episode “Krusty Gets Busted” has the line “if cartoons were meant for adults, they’d put them on in prime time”, which is funny because The Simpson’s was in prime time, but now I’m thinking more about it. At the time, while there had been prime time animated shows in the 1960s...

    Little things we've noticed

    maybe it’s not that big a deal, but these days, it seems like most of the main performers have only one regular character. longtime performers Martin Robinson, David Rudman, Eric Jacobson, and Matt Vogel all still have plenty of characters. Peter Linz has two, Carmen Osbahr has two. But Ryan...

    Muppets Tonight: 25 Years Later

    Yeah. It is hard to really develop new characters when the Muppets don’t have a regular series (or a new movie every few years). The Jim Henson Company probably could do new Muppet shows and focus more on new characters, while Disney would focus on a brand and focus more on those known as...

    Muppets Tonight: 25 Years Later

    I have also started to wonder if, ignoring Frank Oz's limited availability, it would have been better if Muppets Tonight mainly focused on a fairly small core group of Muppets, if most of it was Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Rizzo, Bunsen and Beaker, Statler and Waldorf as much as they...

    Muppets Tonight: 25 Years Later

    Maybe. And I’ve seen at least one interview with one of the Henson people saying that TMS was introducing new characters all the time (well, not so much in the last two seasons). But there is a big difference. Until The Muppet Show premiered, there wasn’t really a core group of Muppets. Sesame...

    Yeah, even the episodes that had been in fan collections before fans started getting rare episodes mysteriously have not made their way to YouTube, as far as I can tell. I have searched for the episode where Gordon gets a good citizens award a few times.

    The Bob Newhart Thread

    A few months ago I finally got a copy of the Bob DVD set (and around that time I was reading a few articles reviewing the show, and I added a ton of info on the show to TV Tropes). It is a great show. Previously I had only seen a few episodes on TV Land. I was thinking that the first season...

    Any Ernst Fans?

    I saw that today is Jim Barney’s birthday. anyway, a few more things to say about Ernest Goes to Camp… The opening credits sequence is rather basic compared to the other theatrical films (which had illustrations, visual effects, and other forms of cool-ness), but in watching the movie the...

    Any Ernst Fans?

    Last night I watched Ernest Goes to Camp for the first time in years, and I have some observations. The poster and video cover seems to have a lot of the main cast (including some relatively minor characters, like Stennis and the foreman), but there's also a few notable characters not on the...
