    Dr. Seuss Discussion Thread

    It's Dr. Seuss's birthday, and there's a few things I have on my mind, or have had on my mind recently. Anybody think it's odd that Horton Hatches the Egg came before Horton Hears a Who, and yet "Hears a Who" is the one that was adapted into both a television special and a movie, while...

    The "You know what?" thread

    For the last few years, I've been seeing a number of reviews for the SNL movie It's Pat, and some things at TV Tropes about the character, saying that the movie and concept of the character can be a little uncomfortible now in an age where transgendered people are more common and accepted by...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Sometimes there'll be deleted scenes from movies that I'm aware of (especially with some of the Muppet movies), the scenes often don't make it to the bonus features, the people working on the movie don't talk about where it appeared in the movie or why it was cut (at least not in any source I've...

    Little things we've noticed

    Back in 2002, after looking at Jim Henson: The Works for the first time, I noticed that Kermit very rarely wears shoes, even when he's otherwise fully dressed (he did wear shows when appearing in a few parody roles in Muppet Magazine). One of the few times he wore shoes was during the...

    Little things we've noticed

    Although Steve Whitmire started performing Ernie in 1993, it seems like they were REALLY trying to give Kermit a Sesame Street comeback in 1996 or 1997. Of course it seems Whitmire might have had a limited Sesame Street schedule at first (and he's rarely been any other characters on Sesame...

    Trash vs. Doin' the Trash

    The two Sesame Street disco albums, Sesame Street Fever and Sesame Disco, include different songs about trash, that I don't think were done on the show. "Fever" has "Trash" with Robin Gibb while "Disco" has Doin' the Trash with Oscar the Grouch. But which one do you all think is better? It is a...

    Little things we've noticed

    Often when broadcast versions of songs are included on albums, they'll use pre-recorded tracks as opposed to just taking the audio from the master video tape. This is evident in certain lines of spoken dialogue that played over the music being ommitted (like Biff's spoken dialogue and the...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    So glad to see a real full English copy of We Coulda. I would have thought Biff's line about being presidents would have been "we could have been presidents of the USA!", as opposed to "United States", to rhyme with "hay" and "but anyway...". At least one commentor said the same thing. It's...

    Official: Disney announces Muppet Babies return in 2018

    Listening to the album, I feel like this shows Baby Gonzo sounds like a Steve Whitmire character. I keep hearing Wembly Fraggle (as well as Bean Bunny and Rizzo, but I think of Wembley the most) when I hear him talk.

    Official: Disney announces Muppet Babies return in 2018

    One thing I'm surprised about (and surprised I didn't think about sooner) is that, as far as we know, there's not going to be a Baby Pepe.

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    I've never been to the Paley Center, but from what I understand, visitors can watch whatever they want (that the museum has) anytime they go.

    Segments that were possibly taped on the same day

    I have seen that recently. And it is interesting how currently there's very few known instances of multiple segments being taped on the same day (and most of them seem to be from 1989). The version with just Ray Charles appears on the DVD Alphabet Songs. It actually shows him singing the...

    Little things we've noticed

    I feel the same way about another game show sketch, What Is It?, featuring Guy Smiley, Grover, Biff, and Prairie Dawn (and I think Gladys appears as well). I often wonder about the Anything Muppet patterns. There's clearly multiples of a few, but how many AM characters have eventually gotten...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Top ten things I hope the Back to the Future comic book series will show some day: 10. The Western Union people dealing with having to keep Doc's message AND deliver it in 1955 (and maybe also them keeping Clara's letter from the second comic book storyarc for so long) 9. Adapt the original...

    Questions about anything

    Can anybody explain this to me? In the scene from the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, when Donatello and Casey Jones are working on his car, it ends up driving out the barn, Donatello says, "it worked!", and then Casey just throws a rag at him. Why did Casey throw the rag at him...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Sesame Street has put out a number of albums relating to different musical genres, but the Muppets haven't really done that (I guess you could argue that Muppet Beach Party is a surfer rock album). There also haven't been as many Muppet albums as there have been Sesame Street ones, whether...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Another thing in regards to the two Sesame Street disco albums: Those two albums came out within a few years of each other. I don't think they did that with any other musical genre albums. There were two Sesame Street rock and roll albums that came out almost ten years apart, and I think there...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Recently, I've downloaded the entire albums Sesame Street Fever and Sesame Disco, and in listening to the albums so much, today it's made me wish that there had been a Sesame Street disco-themed special back in the 1970s, maybe to go along with one of the two albums. Heck, it would have been...

    The "You know what?" thread

    On The Goldberg's, Dave Kim was originally only supposed to appear in one episode, where Adam wanted hos friends to join him on a Goonies-like adventure and only invited Dave Kim to be Data. It's mentioned that Adam never invited him over before and the real home movie scene at the end shows...

    Questions about anything

    Growing up in the age of video rental stores, it seems like the average video store didn't have games for Game Boy, Game Gear, or other handheld systems for rent (though I do recall one short-lived video store in my area that did have Game Gear games for rent). Anybody know why the handheld...
