    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    The description for the Manny the Agent sketch says it's Brian Meehl doing his best impression of a Frank Oz character, but I don't see it. Some of Meehl's characters (Dr. Nobel Price, Clementine) sound a bit like some of Frank's characters (like Marvin Suggs). To me, Manny feels more like the...

    Old Nickelodeon

    I've been thinking about the first two Rugrats video releases - "A Baby's Got to Do What a Baby's Got to Do" and "Tales from the Crib". I've noticed that every episode in "A Baby's Got to Do What a Baby's got to Do" have all four of the main babies, but all the episodes on the original release...

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night I dreamt that I went to my grandparents' house, and they happened to sort of have two copies of the video Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuff... Except they only had the box. Two boxes, no video. And the back of both boxes were cut off as well. And then I dreamt that I saw the Leslie...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Looking at that, I was the one who asked the question, but wasn't aware that the answer had been answered. I guess that's what I get for only seeing these links are posted here or at Tough Pigs, as opposed to checking on my own. It's a shame that he's actually not allowed to answer.

    Deena and Pearl

    I wonder how well the duo would have interacted with other major characters. One YouTube comment came from somebody who remembers first seeing Deena in a scene with Telly (which may or may not have been her first major scene). Muppet Wiki has a still of a scene with Deena and Olivia (the episode...

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    I saw the finale once and don't know what to make of it. Even though it sets up the spin-off, it does feel sad that all three room mates are leaving, even if they are for better things. While Teri was moving to Hawaii (I believe), was it said that Janet was moving out of town as well? Seems sad...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Here's a question that I doubt is a problem to answer: Back when Palisades produced Muppet figures, originally the line was exclusive to characters, accessories, variants, and playsets from The Muppet Show, with other projects (like the movies) not allowed (though they were allowed to have the...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    It seems like they broke up at the time of The Jim Henson Hour. In Miss Piggy's one MuppeTelevision appearance, after Piggy calls Kermit, Vicki remarks that "she dumped [him]", which Kermit protests trying to deny that they were a couple. In fact when Kermit asks to talk to her she at first...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    Somehow I feel they were mistaken. I wonder if their "taped VHS copy" was a copy of a copy. Or, if it was broadcast, I wonder if maybe it was broadcast sometime after the video release. The document on the 2004 Henson/Disney deal lists these videos "under "Best of The Muppet Show" under "home...

    Deena and Pearl

    I saw this clip posted in another thread and knew it was an English-language clip, but upon watching it, at first I started to doubt it was in English. Pearl made a few vocal noises that sort of sounded, to me, like the voices I tend to hear when watching foreign dubs (by the third noise it...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Top ten songs I'd like to see the Muppets do dramatic renditions of: 10. Why Don't You Get a Job (they'd have to change a few words... true for some of the other songs on this list) 9. Shake It Off 8. Boom Clapp 7. All About That Bass 6. Mahna Mahna 5. Hakunna Matatta 4. Rubber Duckie 3. Yoda 2...

    The Bob Newhart Thread

    One thing I've noticed from time to time when talking about The Bob Newhart Show and/or Newhart to older people who saw the shows when they were originally broadcast is that people tend to get the shows confused. Sometimes I'll talk about one of the shows, and they'll think I'm talking about the...

    Video: It's a Small World After All with Floyd & Animal

    You know what would make for a good cover? Mahna Mahna and the Snowths doing "Hakuna Matatta". Maybe do the song to the tune of "Mahna Mahna".

    Questions about anything

    There's one scene in Back to the Future Part II in which Doc runs into his past self. His past self asks Doc to hand him something, and Doc manages to correct him.... Does this have any change or affect on Marty's trip back to 1955? Is there any kind of difference I've overlooked between Marty...

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

    I wonder what kind of spin-off it should be. Something like Play with Me Sesame? Something with all of the main Muppet characters? Something with just one or two or so characters? When I first heard about this, before I heard that HBO is desiring a Muppet spin-off, I wondered if it would have...

    Nick at Nite Thread

    Today I was looking through the book Nick at Nite's Classic TV Companion. I noticed that it incorrectly referred to Welcome Back, Kotter as the channel's newest show, when The Munsters was it (the promo for Nick at Nite's 10th anniversary marathon referred to it as such, Kotter was in the...

    Henson Rarities on Youtube

    I was watching some of the Henson Rarities upload of The Secrets of the Muppets, and noticed that it's a different edit from what I've seen over the years (the Nickelodeon edit, which is also on YouTube). This edit has fades to black in different spots (some of which I had suspected), and a few...

    Old Nickelodeon

    After looking at Cartoon Express on wikipedia, I saw that it actually did last a long time. From 1982-1996. Though it didn't have many original cartoons (which I barely remembered). But the majority of that block's time was before Nicktoons were introduced. Nickelodeon did air a lot of...

    Old Nickelodeon

    I didn't realse they were trying to make it like Muppet Babies then, those guys for a Long time (after the show's original run but before the introduction of Dil) I noticed quite a bit of similarities to Muppet Babies (like having fraternal twins, both shows have "cardboard box TV episodes" due...

    Also, Emilio Degardo said on Facebook that he did not know about the HBO deal until the general public did.
