What I picked for the last few days: Most Underrated Muppet Production: The Playhouse Video compilations. Most Overrated Muppet Production: The Muppet Show episode with Harry Belafonte. Favorite Muppet Viral Video: Kodachrome. Favorite Sesame Street Viral Video: Sesame Street Presents the...

In Brewster's Millions, the title character has to spend a large sum of money within a small period of time to inherit a fortune, and several smaller conditions are put into the terms like not buying things to destroy, only being allowed to lose five percent gambling and only donate five...

Maybe they could be souvenirs sold at any Henson-related museum exhibits.

Looking at some of the recently-added Sesame Street episode pages compiled thanks to "trusted sources", it seems like quite a few of the episodes chosen for included on iTunes' "Sesame Street Classics" releases had repeated street stories from two years earlier. This was the case with the...

When Harry Shearer joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in the fifth season, they didn't make an official announcement right away that he'd be a cast member (and he was announced as a "featured player" for his first month), when they began the "featured player" title and promoted many writers...

Here's what I've picked in the days since my last post in this thread: Muppet Productions You Grew Up On: I listed practically everything I felt I "grew up on", many had to be in comment tweets.... But in the main tweet, I listed The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Muppet Babies...

Most of the cartoon characters featured in Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue have recently had revivial cartoons that feature the characters in a new form of animation (CGI) or a signficantly different style. And most of the ones who haven't really been in anything recently have had some kind of...

Here's an episode I didn't know about until today (and this has been online for just a few days over a year!): One thing I noticed: There's two times when Bruno is actually moving his mouth as if he's talking, but I can barely hear him (I think I hear him, anyway). Maybe it's because of all...

I'm excited about tomorrow's part of the challenge - "Muppet productions you grew up with". This is the one I'd be least surprised to go over the character limit on Twitter. But I am also wondering, what would be the cut-off date for "growing up"? Would/should it be productions I grew up with...

There's an episode of The Goldberg's where Barry becomes addicted to playing Punch Out at the arcade, doing all he can for extra money, including taking out the money from his savings bond and selling one of Adam's prized toys. At the end, Pop decides to give Barry a punching bag as a healthy...

I also dislike when people say that, though I don't hear it say by convict felons.

It's been a few months since the last release and still no news on any further releases. Makes me wonder if they're still going to put out releases. If they stop now, I guess I'm not surprised. People often say that DVD is on its way out the door (but they've been saying that for years and we...

The end credits sequence for Muppet Treasures is online. Recently somebody made a fake end credits sequence that I linked to recently, but I am a little disappointed that one of the "attic videos" does not end with a regular version of the closing theme, instead being an instrumental version...

I am so glad to see a rundown of the episode. I was surprised by how soon the adults believe Big Bird. I was expecting it to happen in the second to last street scene. Though now I realize that it doesn't start that soon - they begin to believe Big Bird in the third street scene. In...

My picks for this past weeks challenges: Favorite Muppet Movie: The Muppet Movie Least Favorite Muppet Movie: Muppet Treasure Island (and also noted Kermit's Swamp Years if it's not limited to theatricals) Favorite Muppet Special: The Muppets Go to the Movies Least Favorite Muppet Special: The...

In The Muppet Movie, when entering the El Sleezo Cafe, Kermit says it doesn't look promising but he has to eat. So is that the only restaurant in this town (or the first place to eat that Kermit's seen for a while since traveling)? Surely there'd be better places nearby (or he could find a fly...

I wonder if Summers would come back, considering he has obsessive compulsive disorder. Then again, he did have that problem back when the original show was on the air and hosted in spite of it (not sure whether the info was public back then), but I think they ended the show because his OCD got...

There's also a backstory that was mentioned in The Muppets Character Encyclopedia, in which Lips got his nickname after practicing outdoors on a snowy day and getting his lips stuck, and that he was hired when The Electric Mayhem decided they needed a brass section and a sixth member to divide...

I might have to change this part. Okay, so during that time, The Electric Mayhem went through a semi-retirement period, only performing when Kermit really needed them, and due to Lips' habit of not showing up due to shyness attacks, they simply didn't bother to ask him whenever they would...

Thinking of a bit more backstory for Lips (as well as Trumpet Girl).... Lips was often shy and took trumpet lessons as a way of overcoming shyness. He met Trumpet Girl at some kind of horn instrument get-together, maybe it was trumpeteer camp, maybe it was a jazz night, maybe it was something...
