    Why are there few kids' shows that feature sawing in half?

    I thought the "sawing people in half" act was done on many kids shows. Though now I'm having trouble thinking of very many. Of what hasn't been mentioned, it was done on Dinosaurs. It was mentioned that it was done in the Looney Tunes short Show Biz Bugs, but it was also attempted in the...

    Bert and Ernie Pumpkin Carving Challenge

    Those international segments were produced back when Steve performed Ernie. Although the voices were dubbed by their international voice actors, the main American performers actually performed the characters live on set, recording their dialogue in English on set.

    Bert and Ernie Pumpkin Carving Challenge

    Here's a new video that was posted this week. In addition to that, it seems like this is a special Bert and Ernie week on Sesame Street's official YouTube channel. This week they've also uploaded one of the international sketches in English, a Bert and Ernie's Great Adventures, and a classic...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Monster University ends with Sully realizing that while Mike isn't scary, he is a good scare leader. This leads to them working at Monsters, Inc. as a scare team, with Mike at the doors, telling Sully how to scare kids. By the events of the first movie, it seems all the scarers have an...

    The Nicktoon Thread

    Back when Palisades Toys had the Ren and Stimpy license, there were plans for a Sven Hoek figure for the canceled series 2. Anybody know if any accessories were announced? One thing I think would have been an awesome accessory for Sven Hoek would have been the Don't Whiz on the Electric Fence...

    Questions about anything

    Do executives/heads of studios/producers have some sort of "spoilers morals" agreement when it comes to rejecting screenplays? I wonder if there's many screenwriters who wanted to include some major twist that they didn't want the public to know until they see it, only for the screenplay to be...

    A Conversation with Frank Oz at MOMI

    I was surprised when I heard that Frank Oz said he had been thinking about NOT writing his autobiography a long time ago. He seems like the kind of person who would want to talk about his past works.

    A Conversation with Frank Oz at MOMI

    In regards to not writing a book on his life, he also said that somewhere a long time ago, saying that he had thought about NOT writing his autobiography. Though when it says he doesn't want to write a book about his life, does that mean he only doesn't want to write about his life, or does...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    In the comments, somebody said that the "Ernie and the candy salesman" sketch was included in a video compilation on the official Sesame Street YouTube channel but that it had been deleted. Too bad he didn't say which one (and I didn't think Sesame Workshop would delete those "collection"...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In commercials featuring the Energizer Bunny and various Duracell commercials featuring toys, bunnies, or the Putterman family, the batteries are always visible... But most products that require batteries have a cover over the battery slot. For the commercials it makes sense as they likely want...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I thought it was always really absurd. I feel Newhart is a show that started out normal and became really absurd by the end (comparable to Green Acres).

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Live at the Hollywood Bowl September 8-10, 2017

    Actually the last appearance of the original Thog was in episode 502 of The Muppet Show (where he was a lot bigger... due to trick photography). I wonder if his size was an issue back when Jerry Nelson performed him. The original was one of the biggest Muppets of all time. Though they did use...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Live at the Hollywood Bowl September 8-10, 2017

    It was great to see Doglion included. I wonder if he was rebuilt or if it was the costume last seen in the late-1990s (if that wasn't the original). If it was the original or had existed for a long time, it's a shame he wasn't in either of the last two films (he could have replaced Timmy in the...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Live at the Hollywood Bowl September 8-10, 2017

    Watching the Suffrage City clip, I see that that's a different song than what I thought it was. One of the reviews I saw mentioned that each member of The Electric Mayhem got a line. Did Zoot or Lips get any lines? I know they sang together at one point, but I couldn't really tell if either...

    Old Nick Appreciation Thread

    I've thought a few things about Rocko's Modern Life recently. In I Have No Parents, Rocko and Philbert act surprised when they see that the creator of the Fatheads has the last name Bighead. But it also seems like they had been watching/fans of the show for a while. They're just now noticing...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Seems there's a number of movies, franchises, shows, celebrities, and things that get a lot of hate online - it's common for people on all message boards to dislike them, it's common for them to be picked on by various caustic critics like The Nostalgia Critic, it's common for shows like South...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    I think it's odd that they didn't post any new "Thought of the Week" videos, period, during this delay. If they had cold feet about uploading the new Kermit video, couldn't they have just posted one with a different character? Unless that was the last one produced at the time and they didn't...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Steve said on his blog that he heard that Matt was the only performer who vocally expressed outrage when the main performers were told of Whitmire's firing, so I guess that dismisses my theory that maybe he didn't know Whitmire had been fired as opposed to retired when he accepted the role of...
