    Fuller House

    I know that pretty much every plot has been done by now, but I've noticed several episodes have plots that are similar to episodes of the original series. The love triangle between DJ, Steve, and the vet, particularly how it wraps up in the last episode (and I saw this coming, even before...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    The next DVD after Sing It, Elmo! will be Elmos' Favorite Stories, which will have seven street stories. I wonder if that's a new trend. Only two of the stories have been announced, but one of them is the one where Abby thinks Oscar is a prince, which was released in Fairy Tale Fun. Still...

    April Fools: "Muppets Summer" coming to Freeform

    I wonder if I should have said that The Muppet Show and various specials would get special "remastered" editions like Emmet Otter and The Bells of Fraggle Rock did last Christmas, meaning they'd be shown widescreen and at a faster frame rate.

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Season 30 hardly had any Kermit segments at all, with News being the most common of them. One episode had Kermit and Joey sing the alphabet, another had "ABCs of the Swamp", and I think another had "Caribbean Amphibian", and then the other Kermit segments that year were news (including...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    That Emmy appearance was interesting. Is it just me, or was Buster being performed by Richard Hunt in that appearance? It doesn't sound like Marty's voice for the character. It is interesting that Jim was able to perform there while Frank didn't, since this was a few years before he became a...

    Who Built Lips?

    One thing has hit me previously. Could it be that they wanted to know who built Lips because they needed to rebuild him? Perhaps to ask for what material was used? I was thinking that the Lips seen in 2011 was new, and Steve Whitmire talked about him getting rebuilt for the new show as if the...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I don't think Rhapsody Rabbit is a very good cartoon. Of course I haven't watched it in years, and recently I have been watching and gaining a little appreciation for some WB shorts that I hadn't really been a big fan of before, maybe I'll like it better if I were to watch it now. Most of the...

    Questions about anything

    Regardless of how difficult copying was, or how uncommon it was back then for anybody to have two VCRs, the chances of piracy would be the same whether the videos were for purchase or just for rent. Anybody know if there were any video releases that have only been available for rent and never...

    And they weren't worried that people would just copy rented videos?

    The "You know what?" thread

    Is it just me, or are the majority of the most iconic Looney Tunes shorts directed by Chuck Jones? Cartoons like What's Opera, Doc?, The Rabbit of Seville, Duck Amuck, Duck Dogers, One Froggy Evening, and the hunters trilogy all seem to be among the best-known Looney Tunes shorts, ones known by...

    Questions about anything

    I've read that when home video began, many video releases were rental-only. I know video was expensive at the beginning, but did so many early releases have to be rental-only? Couldn't companies have made the videos available for sale if retailers wanted to make them for sale? Like just produce...

    April Fools: New Facebook opportunity to help with Sesame Street DVD

    Here's a list of what I think would make a good disc 1, based on what I think of as "essential" (and I'll try not to list personal favorites that, otherwise, I don't really see as essential). Disc 1 Rubber Duckie Elmo's Ducks Henson #3 The Count and Cookie Monster Co-Operate The Alligator King...

    Yeah, it'd be wonderful if I had the kind of job that could make all these April Fools threads (and wishlists) a reality.

    April Fools: New Facebook opportunity to help with Sesame Street DVD

    There's a similar idea I had for an April fools thread, actually thought of it a few years ago, one where Sesame Workshop was having a home video survey. In this idea, Sesame Workshop would have asked fans to vote on different kinds of video releases, one per day, and when clicking on each one...

    April Fools: "Muppets Summer" coming to Freeform

    Part of my inspiration for this came after hearing that FXX shows multi-hour blocks/mini-marathons of The Simpsons every day, often with themed blocks (at least on days leading to the newest episodes). At one point in development of this April fools joke, I thought about saying that Freeform...
