One possibility I just thought of would be that maybe Reuben forced Ernest to give him a number where he could reach Nash. Of course Reuben doesn't seem that threatening to Ernest until after Nash's phone call, where he informs him that he works at a bank and promises him some money if he can...

I'm remembering that for a few years, TV Land wasn't in the TV listings. Was it left out of most TV listings? Because I recall a special promo on the channel, where the announcer reads a letter from a viewer asking for a guide to the channels schedule, and the announcer mentions ways to know...

Maybe I asked before, but in Ernest Goes to Jail, how are Reuben and Nash supposed to be having a phone conversation? Did Nash call the jail and ask for Reuben (maybe using a different voice or name), or did Reuben happen to know the number he could reach Nash at (when neither of them knew...

I want to say it was too much focus on new characters (though I do like a lot of the new characters, including many who barely if ever made it past the shows cancellation) and not enough focus on old characters, as well as the lack of full musical numbers. But then again, were casual fans (not...

At the end of the Back to the Future Comic Book issue "Time Served Part 2", when Marty puts the map togehter and then is found by Uncle Joey and Biff, Joey seems to be the intimidating one while Biff seems to be his "nice" 1986 self. In that panel, he's shown taking a drink from his canteen and...

Another idea that would make for a good 50th anniversary special or home video compilation would be one showcasing the favorite moments of the cast and crew (hopefully they would consult the recently-let-go cast members about their favorite moments). I wonder if there'd be much overlapping (I'm...

As somebody who would want every recurring character on a commemorative DVD set, I agree that I wouldn't be too upset if Professor D. Rabbit was left out. Or most of the real obscure/failed '90s characters.

Somebody posted this clip of the credits from the video Muppet Treasures, though it's admitted that the credits were typed by the user itself (at first I overlooked the fact that the credits were in a different color and font from other videos in the series, but thought it was interesting the...

I thought of something that would make an awesome DVD release for the 50th season (though it doesn't have to be for an anniversary): A release featuring clips of every single recurring Muppet character, no matter how minor or obscure or liked they are. One thing that'd make a good bonus...

I feel they're interesting (and not just in a "I'm so happy to finally see this rarity!!!" way), but I have a certain "no recurring character/recurring segment left behind" mindset, feeling that if the shows being celebrated, all recurring characters and recurring segments, no matter how few...

Did that movie really bomb at the box office? I thought it was always successful, not just after being released on home video and broadcast on television enough to become a cult hit. This is also the first I've heard that so many people on MC hate the movie (must have missed all the posts), I...

In this day and age, I don't think anybody looks their own age anymore. I'm 33 but look like I haven't aged since I was 18. For years I've often been surprised to learn ages for people who I thought were either a lot older or a lot younger. These days if somebody asks me how old somebody looks...

If they couldn't get Jim Carrey, would they have gotten somebody who can sound like him, like Matt Frewer, or would they have gotten a different-sounding voice actor? Did Horton have to have a Jim Carrey-like voice?

Yes, and if it was because they didn't achieve the fame they hoped for, then they must have had some really high standards for Hoots. He's likely a lot more popular to casual fans than Chicago or Merry. After starting out on the show around 1985, he continued to be heavily used until sometime...

I was surprised to find that Muppet Wiki did not have a guide for episode 846, as I previously thought that the wiki had some kind of guide for every single season 7 episode, but in looking at the wiki since, I've found that quite a few episodes are missing guides there. Wonder why I thought the...

The dead wall started with Hoots? Wow, that must mean it started around the early 2000s (and he came back shortly after that). I would have expected the "founding father" of the dead Muppet wall to be Professor Hastings.

His controversy may have kept him off the show for good (aside from some non-speaking background appearances, at least one of which ended up being cut), but Sesame Workshop doesn't avoid acknowledging him. Episodes featuring him didn't cut him out on Noggin, DVD, or iTunes (and I admit, I...

Sesame Workshop used to have a "Dead Muppet Wall" (I think it was said in an episode of Below the Frame that they no longer have that wall) with pictures of characters who were no longer being used, and I wonder if Leslie Mostly was included on the wall. It would make sense, but it was also said...

I don't think he fully explained what a "dead Muppet" is, I kinda assumed one who was taken off the show because they didn't exactly work out and who the performers don't like talking about (though many performers have talked about a lot of their old characters in interviews), if that's the...

I should have worded it better, but I meant I didn't know what the educational topic of the Cookie Monster sketch was, I did know it was about him making a house out of cookies and eating his own home (I did briefly wonder if creative thinking was the educational topic). But thanks. I don't...
