It's come to my attention that the video clips have been replaced with different-quality clips, but unfortunately, a large portion of clips have been removed, including the majority of classic clips. I'm hoping that this is temporary, but only time will tell. If the removal of the clips is...

Interesting that it's announced so soon after the show has been canceled. Then again, he didn't say it was a television series. It could be a new series of short viral videos, or maybe a Netflix (or Hulu, or other video website) series.

Yesterday, I read that Warner Bros. celebrated its 75th anniversary in 1997, and that's the same year when Warner Bros. merged with Turner Entertainment and, as a result, re-acquired it's film library that was sold in 1959. It's like it's the perfect anniversary present. Makes me wonder if...

In the near future there's going to be a special Muppet Fan Week. https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2016/06/15/coming-soon-fan-week/

The story was in the public domain, but the adaptation can have original elements which can't easily be used in other adaptations. Many of the original elements in the 1939 film (like how the Witch looks, the songs, ruby slippers instead of red slippers, there only being one good witch) just...

Actually, Warner Bros. has owned the rights to the film since 1997. And Warner Home Video has the video rights to Sesame Street, so I imagine that would make it easier to clear. They'd probably still have to deal with Margret Hamilton's estate over royalties, though. I wonder if there would...

Additionally, the very first volume of the very first Looney Tunes home video collection, The Looney Tunes Video Show #1, opened with the very first Tasmanian Devil short, Devil May Hare. And when the three volumes of The Looney Tunes Video Show were reissued (and made available for sale as...

I've been watching quite a bit of Animaniacs lately, and does anybody know why the newsreel segment that explains the characters' backstory was reused so much? I don't think any other segments were repeated in multiple episodes (I did see two episodes with a parody of the "CBS Special...

With Bugs Bunny being the Looney Tunes character we all associate as the star (though there are many characters with their own situations, many of whom weren't associated with Bugs), I find it hard to think of this as a spin-off. Even with it just starring Bugs Bunny, he does have a fairly large...

This September will see a release called "Love to Learn". I'm not sure whether this will be a release of two full episodes (the description at Muppet Wiki only describes two street stories, so it could be that) or multiple street stories. Considering it's title, it seems like it'd be hard to...

Did they sell video game controllers on their own back then? I've been wondering that, I don't remember knowing about video game controllers being sold on their own as well as with systems until the N64 era. I don't remember seeing controllers sold on their own in stores, I feel like that's...

I've been watching this Nintendo retailer training video from 1991... And at one point, we see a mother returning a NES because she thinks the controller won't work, only for it to turn out that her son put the controller into the wrong port. And this gets me thinking, if the controllers...

The first season - or at least part of it - has been on DVD for a few weeks now. I'm surprised that it's "season one, part one", and there's 26 episodes on the set (counting entire half-hours as episodes, as opposed to each short segment). I'm surprised to see that the shows first season has...

Let's try a couple more! Fred the Wonder Horse Best-known role: Marshall Grover's horse. Performed by: Jerry Nelson. First Appearance: Sesame Street, circa season 6, 1974-1975. Most-Recent Appearance: Sesame Street season 40, 2009-2010. Who is Fred the Wonder Horse?: Fred...

I think I remember seeing one episode where Catdog goes into a bathroom, but we don't see how they use the toilet. What Goofy cartoons would be considered the most essential, signature ones? I can think of signature cartoons for other characters - for Mickey, I'd say the essential ones are...

I saw that The Newsman will be part of series 3.

Previously I asked about who would come with the tuxedo Kermit (especially since there's 13 figures while the figures come in two packs, and 13 is not dividable by 2), and was confused by the answer given. Now that I read this blog, it makes some sense. So some characters are paired with...

Wow, I decided to do this last month to fill the void of The Muppet Mindset no longer having Weekly Muppet Wednesday, and yet I kept forgetting to do more. Well I'll fix that... Denise Best-Known Role: Kermit's (ex)girlfriend, employee at the network. Performer: Juliane Buescher First...
