    I thought Grover was supposed to cough to help unintentionally make the K sound.

    The Muppet Show Season 1-3 releasing 3/15/16

    It was said at a convention last year that they not only need to clear the music, but they also have to pay all living musicians. Not sure if that means the musicians who worked on the show or the musicians involved with the songs (and I don't know why it would have to be the latter), but with...

    Biff and Sully appreciation thread

    Just because he didn't know Mazzarino was the head writer doesn't mean he hadn't been watching. I think I'm more aware that he was head writer and a director from Muppet Wiki, discussions here and at Tough Pigs, and the interview he did for Tough Pigs in 2008 than I am from seeing it in the credits.

    Biff and Sully appreciation thread

    I don't think it's been officially confirmed whether Joey's characters will be recast, but even if they aren't, I doubt Sesame Workshop feels a big need to have additional characters to compensate for their absence, considering that this past season had a reduced focus on characters.

    The "You know what?" thread

    Recently, I've watched the Jeffersons episode "The House That George Built", where after a near-death experience, George decides he wants to be remembered by the world, so he first decides to write an autobiography, then he cancels the autobiography in favor of opening a George Jefferson museum...

    TV Tropes

    I thought of a trivia trope that might be great, not sure how to title it or if it'd be too "people sit on chairs", but I'd like to see a trope for animated shows where most of the voice actors do multiple characters, but then there's voice actors who only do one character. I don't think there's...

    Bring back the old theatre format

    I misunderstood that at first. So you were saying that it'd be like if Sesame Street decided to be like either show to stay relevant, but when I first read this, I thought that "or Dora to try to stay relevant" was a separate example from Sesame Street trying to be like Barney.

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    I know, I just didn't feel like checking at the time. But the clip that appears in Elmo Says Boo is one about eight ghosts, which doesn't appear to be among the ones cut. After hearing about these cuts, I was surprised when I saw that one of them was on an earlier compilation (I know, like I...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    I have read that one of the Swedish number cartoons did appear on the DVD Elmo Says Boo! Not really sure if it's any that was cut from Old School Volume 3.

    Biff and Sully appreciation thread

    I think Roxy Marie was introduced around the time that Richard Hunt died, but I think I've also seen some say that the family relationship between Biff and Roxy took a year or two before it was established. Roxy Marie did stay on the show for most of the 1990s. I remember her being in a season...

    HBO is editing modern Sesame Street episodes

    It was said in Street Gang that the shows producers decided to let the songwriters keep the copyrights on songs written for the show, in part because it helped get talented songwriters to contribute to the show. I wonder if the policy ever changed (it seems like later songs have been published...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4621 - To The Moon Elmo

    I recently found out about the recycling man who resembles Bruno. Read at Muppet Wiki that he's performed by Tyler Bunch, but I thought it'd be great if he were performed by Caroll Spinney (I've read that currently he only physically performs Oscar when he's not in a tight space, and judging...

    Biff and Sully appreciation thread

    One thing I've been wondering lately is, when did Biff and Sully get their names printed on their hats? At first, the hats were blank, but then sometime in the 1980s, they both had their names printed on them (I know this would have happened by the time of "Do De Rubber Duck", which I think...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    I think the confusion over Seven Monsters not airing was due to a Muppet Wiki post from a long time ago, after somebody had contacted Karen Falk about Jim Henson's involvement in the Frank Oz-directed Number Three Ball Film (see muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:_Number_Three_Ball_Film ), where she...

    Biff and Sully appreciation thread

    One thing I've thought about: Although they are construction workers, have they ever been referred to as such on the show? In the song "We Coulda", where Biff sings about jobs they could have taken but "someone's gotta hammer", he never directly says that they are construction workers. He does...

    Dreams about Muppets

    I dreamt that the Muppets did a new movie, and I went to the theater to see it with my mom and younger cousin. After a few minutes, the film broke down, and before it started up again, my cousin cried and wanted to leave, apparently hearing something about theater shootings and not wanting to...

    HBO is editing modern Sesame Street episodes

    It's weird, I don't think anything had to be replaced on Noggin due to rights (but I guess if there were any copyright issues, they could just include them among the edits for time).
