One thing I've noticed about Hey Arnold (which I had thought about putting in the "you know what?" thread): The show has two different characters named Robert who were never referred to directly by name. One Robert was a blonde boy with glasses and a green shirt. The only time his name was...

I just saw recently that the next Nostalgia Critic Editorial will be about whether the PG rating means anything anymore. So what would be wrong with Casey Jones?

He was. When it comes to figures branded for a movie when the characters were already around, Lips was the only one to be branded from a movie whilethe figure itself didn't have anything related to that movie and could have been branded as from The Muppet Show. I often thought that Lips should...

I put this in general discussion because I wasn't sure which of the Muppet folders it belongs in. But a couple of weeks ago, Tough Pigs posted scans from every issue of Muppetzine. It's a fun read. http://www.toughpigs.com/muppetzine/ I didn't know about it until I got the internet in 1996...

I remember one time in school, one of my classmates said he had to take his uncle to school, and we all (including the teacher) laughed. And we laughed harder when he said that his uncle was, I think, in the first grade. My teacher actually asked him how it was possible, and the student said...

It was common knowledge that the naked versions of those two were originally planned to come out first, but then it was decided to have variants of those two (as well as Stunt Gonzo and Frog Scout Robin) before the standard versions to help the line last longer, to prevent series of only...

Elmo was also at the day care in a song called T Dance, which appears in the home video Do the Alphabet.

The Muppet Mindset wants fans to send in favorite TMS moments for a special "top 40 Muppet Show moments" article. https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2016/09/13/we-want-your-favorite-muppet-show-moments/ I already did my own "top 40 Muppet Show songs and sketches" article a few years ago...

One thing I thought about is that those segments have ending music. I wonder if Joe Raposo wrote the music at the end of those (and how many non-music segments - meaning segments that weren't primarily musical - feature underscores by Raposo?). Of course I think the music could have easily been...

When I first heard of Muppetzine when I first got the internet back in 1996, I thought it was an official Henson Company-produced/approved Muppet magazine. I didn't realize it was just made by fans with no involvement in the company (though official people did do interviews and correspond with...

One thing I've always found odd about the Bert and Ernie scenes, which I recently saw brought up at Tough Pigs, was that Bert is the one who overreacts when things get too unsettling and Ernie is the one who calms him down and reassures him that things will be fine. Shouldn't it have been the...

I feel like he and Joe Raposo were the two most prominent songwriters for the shows early years.

Does anybody know whether Weird Al Yankovic's last album, Mandatory Fun, has been certified gold yet? I looked at a listing on the official Weird Al site of which albums have gone gold and platinum, and didn't see it listed, but I also couldn't find anything about when that page was last...

Well, I found the answer to my question. Last week, Tough Pigs posted scans from every page if Muppetzine, and I saw one issue that had an article confirming that ABC ordered a second season. So ABC planned to air season two, the episodes were most likely completed, then the show got canceled...

I had forgotten that I felt something was missing from the song. I also feel something was cut or different about the closing song, or maybe it's just me.

I watched the repeat of Muppets Most Wanted, and as far as I can tell (I wasn't exactly paying 100% attention), I don't think it cut anything from the theatrical cut (aside from what happens during and after the credits, due to the split-screen during the credits). There's a few things that I...

Maybe in the world of Sesame Street, birds get to live on their own at younger ages (in FTB, the concern was that there aren't any birds around him, not that he seems to be an orphan). Also to note that originally, Big Bird was meant to be an adult. He wasn't portrayed as a child until the...

I say this is sorta-belated because it's not over, but right now, TBS is airing The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted back-to-back, and Muppets Most Wanted will air again immediately after itself. I saw this news on Tough Pigs a few days ago and assumed it was posted here, but as I looked I see...

Wow, so The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson was rebroadcast at least once. I didn't think it was, though I knew there were two slightly different edits, one where Steve Whitmire rerecorded Kermit's dialogue at the end. Wasn't sure if that was for an international (English-language) airing or what...

At first I thought you meant Steve Whitmire as opposed to Steve Swanson.
