This is sad. Just a few weeks ago I saw the two Odd Couple movies for the first time in years (first time I saw the first since 1996 and first time I saw the second since either 1998 or 1999.... and in fact those previous times were also the first time I saw them, having rented them both times...

Tonight I started wondering, out of all the old-school Nickelodeon shows of the 1990s, how many of them actually had a big adult fanbase, whether the creators or whoever wanted to appeal to adults as much as kids (would containing a lot of jokes that go over kids heads be enough to determine...

With some contributors to Muppet Wiki having Sesame Street scripts from a "trusted source", I wonder if we'll figure out the episode that introduced us to Telly Monster in his current, better-known personality as opposed to his original TV-obsessed personality, due to the fact that Caroll...

It seems like bad guys from the "smart kid vs. adult crooks" genre were competent/successful criminals until they messed with a kid who successfully defeated them (even in cases where the kids were more well-meaning or unaware). Seems the case with the bad guys from Home Alone, Dennis the...

A few years ago, I found some online scans from issues of Billboard magazine, and saw in the July 4, 1992 issue an article about the start of Buena Vista's Chipmunks video releases, saying that not much Chipmunk content had been released before, with one of the few exceptions being a limited...

Were the Chipettes actually featured a lot more on The Chipmunks than before? I feel they always were major enough. I don't think many episodes from "The Chipmunks" seasons are in the syndication package*, which I am a lot more familiar with, and I remember them being major for almost the entire...

I did look at the Sesame Street Videography page and counted all the video releases (both direct-to-video, releases of full episodes, and releases of specials) that have been released on DVD (not counting things that wouldn't be included, like the two movies) and only counted 144 releases. And...

It's been announced that The Magical Wand Chase will be released on November 4,with Elmo's Alphabet Challenge as a bonus video. Contents for Elmo Explores is now listed on Muppet Wiki, including episodes of The Furchester Hotel and classic Elmo's World segments (I wonder if they will be their...

In the last few months I have kept going back-and-forth on focusing my mind on The Chipmunks, looking up information and watching episodes/clips online. Right now I haven't been thinking that much about them, though. I read that the 1980s series changed its name from Alvin and the Chipmunks...

I was looking at some of the old Muppetzine articles (archived at Tough Pigs), and noticed in the news section of issue 7 (from 1994), it was said that there were plans to release four Electric Company videos as well as maybe get it rerun again. Anybody know if those home video releases came...

Recently, the "trusted sources" that have been used to compile episode pages on the wiki has led to the Monsterpiece Theater page on the wiki list first appearances of several segments (mainly ones that premiered in seasons 22-24). I did ask the person who added the firsts and he said that those...

I just saw the Teen Titans Go! To the Movies and have "Upbeat" stuck in my head (implanted further into a stuck spot after downloading the song on iTunes).

I think he meant more of whether they'd avoid including it online or on a video compilation (hopefully they won't cut it if they ever release an episode with one of those segments) or leave out of something like an anniversary retrospective. I had wondered whether this has made Sesame Workshop...

Well, over the years, the show has had scores of recurring characters, many of whom don't/didn't appear in every episode, and back in the old days there were about 130 hour-long episodes a season, making it a little harder to really know if a character was still on. For some reason, during...

Seems both Buena Vista Home Video and Nickelodeon supported some of the same properties in the early 1990s. Buena Vista got the video rights to Bullwinkle, The Jim Henson Company's library, and Alvin and the Chipmunks, in that order, and then Nickelodeon started airing all three, also in that...

I wonder if there would have been a lawsuit if The Jim Henson Company never sold the rights to the Sesame Street Muppets to Sesame Workshop. Though Sesame Workshop would have still owned the rights to the Sesame Street name.

Today an article announcing that Shout! has taken over video rights has gone online (though we kinda already knew), and the article does mention Blu-rays. Maybe there'll be something on Blu-ray in the next year.

We had kinda known already, both the Amazon and Barnes and Noble pages for the next video, Elmo's World: Elmo Explores, list Shout! as the video distributor. It's odd that there wasn't an official article announcement until after. I'm curious about the "150 Sesame Street-related titles". At...

Well, an article about Shout! Factory getting the video rights has been put online: https://deadline.com/2018/08/sesame-workshop-and-shout-factory-reach-multi-year-distribution-deal-1202436613/ I guess now we can talk about Sesame Street video there. I wonder if there'll be any reason to...

I saw this video of promos before Nickelodeon's airing of Hey Cinderella during the 1993 Muppet Mania marathon... And when it gets to the promo that introduces the special, I'm having trouble understanding what it says. It says it's "the Nickelodeon (word I can't quite make out, sounds a...
